A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
We have a controversial guest here with us today.
DISPUTED FIGURE
A disputed figure, a criminal in the eyes of some.
To others, a beacon.
He gets praised on the bleachers and from all of his followers.
He's a man who's risen from the bottom.
It's Héctor "Lomito" Baldini. I wanted to ask you a few questions.
Which of those men are you?
The latter.
I came from the bottom, working my way up.
- This is a tale... - You've seen this three times already.
And forget about Paula already. It's not the first time she's been late.
I'm here to bring joy back to the people.
He didn't show the garden.
I told you he was an idiot.
Or my shirt collection.
That's because of the brands, you know how that is.
You always think of everything. Everything.
Hey.
What happened?
I was working on a school project with the girls until late.
With who?
Barbie and Jime, Dad. Why?
What's with the interrogation?
Is that a hickey on your neck?
Dad! I just got home. Is this really necessary?
- Bye, I'm off to bed. - Don't get mad.
- Did you see that? - What?
She had a hickey on her neck.
Yeah, so?
- What's up with that? - What do you want me to say? Leave her be.
Someone tried to murder me in my own club.
They didn't try to prove I was a criminal
until after I started the campaign.
"THERE IS NO EVIDENCE I COMMITTED A CRIME"
Don't you think that's suspicious?
Fabián, open up! Please!
Fabián, do you know what happened to the kid?
Open up!
Fabián!
Please, help me, Fabián!
- It's the kid! - What kid? What happened?
It's Mario. Come, please!
God!
Mario.
You can't leave me. Mario!
Mario!
Mario...
Son of a bitch!
You don't belong here!
Get the hell out of here!
Get out of here, motherfucker!
You're a murderer.
Get out.
Mario...
Mario!
Mario. Mario!
What did they do to you?
What did they do to you, Marito?
Marito!
Answer me, Mario!
Hmm.
What's this? The yellow pages?
It's the list of memberships.
You used to send me porn and football stuff.
It was more entertaining.
It'd be wise if you learned the names of your voters.
Do you want me to read all this?
It would make our victory more legit, don't you think?
It's not like I'm gonna get asked about each and every one of them.
I don't need to know who votes for me.
You think all these people will?
Each and every one of them.
But if you want, I can keep all the memberships.
Oh, I need something from you.
I need you to write the speech and make up a list.
Sure, just let me know.
How are the boys?
It's been a while since you asked.
There are just a few of the older guys.
- No one knows about you. - I didn't mean that.
I mean...
is everything cool?
I'm getting myself into all this again and I want everything to go smoothly.
I'm not interested in hearing anything about gunfights and stuff like that.
I hope you understand. I need them to be cool for a while.
At least until we win this election.
Because, you know, Octopus and Sosa are businessmen.
And all this crap about a code means nothing to them.
It's not their source of income, so they don't give a fuck about it.
It's what I do.
It'll be okay.
Relax.
My boys answer to me.
Please get this into your head, Héctor.
Those who want to manage a football club can't let all this get in their way.
That's how they get there.
And you...
are better than this.
So I think it would be wise
if you could let go of the fights
and start to move on to real business. Eh?
Ah.
So you mean, lose the dough in order to start investing dough, right?
Ah. Nice! Nice!
It's a scheme to bring me down...
I think I handled it well.
I had to rehearse.
They tried to get me to make a mistake.
You sound like a politician.
The house looks amazing, look.
It's a shame that he didn't film the part when I cooked.
Forget about it, Lomito.
We need to be on good terms with everybody.
That's the secret to politics.
What's wrong with you?
Mario was murdered.
Oh. Fuck.
Poor kid. Did you know about this?
Who did it?
He called and said he was following the Gypsy.
He'd gotten into something.
I don't understand.
That's all.
They were in our area,
so he followed them because he thought it had something to do with drugs.
They're screwing with us again.
On our side of the neighborhood?
In the neighborhood.
Let me think about what we can do.
Are you kidding me?
Matraca and the Parrot can check the hood, do some research.
We can't go all out without knowing the facts.
Is that all you're gonna do?
I thought you were our friend.
Our family.
All those things you always talk about.
This is politics.
We can't make a mess...
and let all of our hard work
go to waste. We just can't.
We can't get all crazy about this, not without an investigation.
But we'll take care of it.
I don't know you anymore.
Huh?
Do you know what the truth is behind all this?
Do you think Guillermo would sacrifice a championship?
I didn't think he would act like he did.
It could have been worse.
At least now you know you can't count on him.
In other words, you know how much help you can get from him.
If Guillermo isn't willing to make a sacrifice, then it's over.
I don't know what to do anymore.
There are other ways.
If he would rather look away,
well, we could very well...
do our own thing.
I'm not following you.
Next time we see Lomito at the club,
we plant two kilos of cocaine in one of his tires.
I'll make an anonymous call to the cops.
Then, by the time he gets out...
they'll be there, waiting for him.
Do you understand?
A minimum of four years in jail
for drug trafficking will feel like an eternity to him.
And if we add all the other charges to that,
all those accusations,
we'll get rid of him for good.
Away he goes. He'll be kissing his campaign goodbye.
Diana.
He can't come back from that.
I told you you can't play football inside the house!
Not inside the house!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Get out!
Get the hell out!
Get out!
Give me another beer.
I heard you were here.
Why are you here? Just visiting, or are you here to bully someone?
It's my club, too, right?
Yeah.
I know about your membership and all that bullshit.
Are you happy?
Someone told me you don't work with kids anymore.
Because of you.
You can't take care of the whole club and also manage the kids.
You didn't realize that?
Well, you can screw the lives of everybody you want now.
Selling drugs to the kids, what a great business.
What are you talking about?
Are you going to tell me you're out of the loop?
No one is selling drugs in the neighborhood.
And you want me to believe that?
So you don't know how the drugs find their way to our kids?
Everything you do is for the club, right?
In law school they taught me that failing to act to prevent harm is also a crime.
It's called negligence. Did you know that?
You've never done anything for anybody.
You're a big fat liar.
That's what you are.
I want you out of here soon.
I feel so sorry for Fabián.
What a mess.
The worst thing that could happen is one of the kids getting whacked.
Well, he wasn't really one of us. He was there, that's all.
You need to say that, honey, or else they'll pin the murder on you.
I know, but I still feel sorry for him.
I know.
Fabián, hey. Where are you?
I'm going after them.
What are you talking about?
Did the Parrot and Matraca learn anything?
You're all worked up about this, Fabián.
We'll do something about what happened to the kid.
You're a liar.
It was Octopus.
I told you, but you still want time to investigate.
I know what happened to the kid hurts.
I know that. It's hard.
- I need men. - What for?
To fuck Octopus up.
I can't send backup. I can't.
Don't mess this up. Think this through.
And stop blaming yourself.
They're selling drugs here.
What's up with that?
Before vengeance comes grief.
Come to my house.
Are you going to send some muscle or not?
I can't, and you know it.
Give me some time.
- That's all I'm asking. - Stop lying, Lomito.
You're not even the chairman yet, and you've already started lying.
Hey, darling!
Where are you going?
I'm going to meet the girls to finish our project.
At this hour?
When do you want me to go?
Earlier?
I was busy earlier, so we're doing it now. I don't want my grades to go down.
That's all right. Take care of yourself.
Bye, Dad.
She's going out. Follow her.
Hi. Downtown, please.
Ernesto, what are you doing here?
Are you okay?
Give me that. Here.
I guess you liked it.
It's comfortable.
I'm using it because I've got no money for clothes.
Maybe you can talk to your dad and tell him to pay me.
I don't mess with my dad's businesses.
So, am I only one of your dad's businesses?
No.
- No? - No.
You're my toy. Look what I've got.
Come on.
No, no!
Not again, come on.
Come on, you're my doll and I want you to be pretty.
But it takes a while to come off.
If you let me do this to you...
I'll let you do whatever you want to me.
She was hit very hard.
Will this make her feel better?
It should. Use some ice as well.
I don't remember it. It was sudden.
The pills will make her sleepy.
There were two adults.
- I couldn't see their faces. It was dark. - Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome.
- Is that all? - Yes.
I need you to sign this, please.
Thank you. Good evening.
I don't get why you won't report this, Diana.
Let me do what I think is best.
I appreciate it, though. Your concern for me.
I see you came with your new girlfriend.
You're still mad, I guess.
Of course not. I'm super happy. Can't you tell?
The doctor says you need to take these.
Take care of yourself.
Let's do it.
I want Lomito in jail.
Okay.
I want this done today.
I'm not sure.
It's too sudden.
He's having a campaign party here in a few hours.
I think it's a good opportunity. What do you think?
Can't get any better.
We'll do it today, then.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing with Lomito's daughter?
What's up, champ? Everything all right?
What's up, everybody?
Great, Lomito!
Have you seen Fabián? Any word from him?
He must be depressed about that kid.
He needs to stay away for a while.
Fabián always gets too attached.
He can't feel this bad about that.
It's not his fault the kid was into something shady.
You know what the problem is?
He thinks Octopus' people did this.
This is my first public speech.
I never thought I'd be prepared to be where I am today.
But love brought me here.
Through thick and thin.
Until the day I die.
Bro, I'm here to deliver the pizzas they ordered.
Two cheese pizzas and two fugazzetas.
I wasn't aware of this. Get the hell out.
Can't you just pay for them so I can go?
- How much? - It's 300 pesos.
Thanks!
Yeah. Now, get out. Go.
Bye.
I'll take this club to where it belongs. I'll take it to the top.
We'll keep doing what's working,
but we'll fix everything that's wrong here!
I...
We...
saw our club win and become champion of America.
But then, we lost our place in the top league. That wrecked us.
It was a tough year.
In time...
our current chairman arrived at the club.
He was able to pick us back up.
But we need to keep growing.
We need to be great again, always looking towards the future.
And to be able to move forward...
I need you.
I'm here to give back to Ferroviarios
everything that it's given me over the years.
Like when it gave me my membership and welcomed me with open arms
when I had no money to pay for it.
That's all.
We'll make this club great, Parrot.
And remember, 50 years from now, I'll have a statue with my name
amongst our trophies, and a plaque that reads, "The Future."
It doesn't even need to have my name.
Just the words, "The Future."
Let's keep whatever works, keep the books clean...
But we need people for that. Why wasn't Fabián there?
And I won't forget about my family just because I dabble in politics. No way.
I need to figure out what I'll do with Gabriel, too.
What is this?
Hi. What's going on?
- Step out of the vehicle. - Sure, no problem.
Officer.
We need to see your driving license and the vehicle's documents.
Papers? Of course. Parrot, our papers, please.
Are you new around here?
I know every cop around here. You'll have my full cooperation.
- I'll need to open the trunk. - Sure. Do whatever you need to do.
You'll have no troubles with me. Everybody knows me.
Hey, that's not mine.
No, Officer. Hey, that's not mine.
No way, no...
Someone planted that. Oh, my God.
No, no...
Motherfuckers! I'll fuck them all up!
I'll get Sosa, Octopus, I'll get everyone!
You can start unloading it.
Let's go!
You heard the boss. Unload them all.
Motherfucker!
"The drug trafficking charges
could cost Héctor 'Lomito' Baldini
a minimum of four years in prison.
This casts a shadow
over the future of the infamous hooligan
and his campaign
for the position of chairman of Ferroviarios Football Club."
What a coincidence.
Sometimes, happy endings are real.
It was quite dumb of him.
Why carry the drugs in his car?
Bring it to our club...
You know him.
He thought he was invincible because the judge let him out on probation.
Yeah, of course. You may be right.
I would have thought the same
if every member of the board kept looking away
and let me get away with whatever I wanted...
I know about the judge.
Listen to me, Diana.
I know you asked him to drop the case.
- There are things you don't understand. - No, I understand perfectly.
What you were doing wasn't working.
Because you're a coward.
You don't have the balls to win this fight.
Don't worry, though.
You don't have to fight anymore.
What are you talking about?
This is what will happen.
You won't run for the chairman position. You won't pursue your reelection.
Instead, you will support me as your successor.
I won't do such a thing, Diana.
Of course you will.
Otherwise, I'll send the evidence I have
of your illegal deals with Lomito to the press.
You could end up in jail.
I'm letting you go with some elegance.
I'll allow you to retire after a long and fruitful career.
And you'll be able to hand all this down
to someone with the strength to do what you asked her to do.
Which is ending this war.
I imagine you've heard the news of Héctor Baldini's arrest.
Well, I can assure you that, for now,
I have no comment on the subject.
I do, however,
want to make something clear about the upcoming elections.
I want the entirety of our following to know
that this will be my last year at the head of this club.
I think it's time to make room for younger leaders.
Of course, I hope to finish this term with a championship.
And I do believe we're very close to achieving that.
I'd also like to take this time
to announce that Diana Imbert,
here with me now, our chief of security,
is the person I believe will be the best candidate for my position.
I am certain that she has the necessary skills and experience
to ensure that this club continues in the right direction.
I want to thank you all.
She can take the microphone now.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Any questions?
