BILL INITIATIVE

GUERRILLA GENARO VÁZQUEZ ESCAPES FROM IGUALA PENITENTIARY

Save this, Silvia. Please.

Major.

Major.

Good morning, Major.

Has he said anything?

Nothing yet.

Edgardo...

You accepted 14,000 pesos

for letting a guerrilla out of jail?

Fourteen thousand pesos?

Who paid you?

Who?

Corona del Rosal?

If you tell me, this will be over.

Continue.

No...

Yes, Sir.

Juan Ma! Bring the water.

No!

You are done now, you fucking sellout!

A STRANGE ENEMY

I didn't hear you come in.

-Is everything all right? -Yes.

How did it go with the doctor?

You know...

They want to try a new treatment. The usual.

We'll see.

And your article?

It sucks.

I'm blocked.

My deadline ends tomorrow, so I better start writing.

You can have meatballs for dinner.

Just heat them up.

Are you sure everything is OK?

The statements of the guards

and the other prisoners is in there.

The order came from above, Mr. Secretary.

Genaro Vázquez didn't escape without help.

There's the proof.

He got help from the Mayor's office.

Corona del Rosal is still pushing to shut down the NSD.

And this was executed by Pedro Mejía.

Corona del Rosal planned this.

This is precisely your job, and that of the NSD.

To stay ahead and prevent anyone

from creating scandals like this one.

Let's not fool ourselves,

someone inside helped Corona del Rosal.

We already corrected that, Mr. Secretary.

Fernando...

Corona del Rosal is out to get you.

All these mistakes give him material against you.

Keep it up and you'll be out of a job.

If you could talk to the President,

tell him how important

the NSD's work is for the Olympics...

With a photo of a fugitive guerrilla

plastered across every newspaper?

I have no arguments to defend you, Fernando.

With all due respect,

the NSD is under your leadership,

so it's up to the Ministry of the Interior.

If Corona del Rosal wants to shut us down,

it's because he wants to hurt us...

No.

There is no us.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Stop that, Fernanda. It's already sweet enough.

Your food will be here in a minute.

Can I get a seafood cocktail?

I'll be back in a minute.

Your family is out there.

Take it easy, or we'll kill them too.

On the count of three.

...two, three.

Ready.

As you can see,

there's not a single column so all the spectators can have

an unobstructed view, Mr. President.

When will it be finished?

Very soon, Mr. President.

When?

In five weeks.

We have a system so the cameras can shoot under water.

You can see the peepholes there, at the edges.

You have cameras, but you don't have windows.

We are less than three months

away from the inauguration of the Olympics.

Are we going to be ready or not?

Of course we are, Mr. President.

As I was saying, Mr. President,

the vision of architect Ramírez Vázquez...

Isn't it beautiful? It's a wonder.

-With sensors. -Which sensors?

Yes, the structure is beautiful.

General, Pedro Mejía was found dead.

He had a heart attack in a restaurant's bathroom.

Wait for me in the car.

Can we get a photo?

Mayor, please come.

Yes, of course.

Do you know how much this costs?

Millions!

Let's take the photo. Are we all here?

-I'm fine here. -Very well.

Take a look at that...

There's your future president!

Barrientos!

Pedro Mejía was just found dead.

You don't say. I'm sorry to hear that.

He had a heart attack.

They found him in a restaurant's bathroom.

Dear God!

He was 43, healthy.

Heart attacks can be fatal at that age.

He was killed.

I'd be happy to open an investigation.

You knew Pedro Mejía was going to lead the NSD.

He was going to replace you.

These are difficult times.

The Olympics have put a lot of pressure on us.

To put our people at risk

because of your political ambitions...

The NSD is the one putting them at risk.

Who let Genaro Vázquez escape?

That was your mistake.

Your incompetence.

Someone helped that guerrilla escape.

I hear it was your guy, Mejía.

You know well that guerrillas are experts

at covering their tracks.

Excuse me.

Good one! I couldn't reach it.

You're not looking at me.

Having you in front of me

means I already have the upper hand.

Ball!

The purpose of having you in front of me is to get close,

so I know whether you're going to play short or long.

Put yourself there.

If your opponent's behind you,

you don't look at the ball as much.

You look at how he plays,

you learn that, and then you adapt.

Ball!

Thanks for the speech,

but are you talking about racquetball or politics?

Speed counts too, right?

I have to go see Laura. Want to cool off?

Were you letting me win?

Thank you.

Did your mother tell you about Saturday?

Yes. I think I'll go straight to the dinner.

Bring Laura.

We'll see. If not, I'll come alone.

How's the project going?

Good. All good.

Do you want me to call the secretary?

So he can see the project. I think it would be good...

Seriously?

I'm only saying I can call...

Will you continue to fix my problems

with the help of your friends?

Be careful, Enrique! Do not talk to me like that!

And don't treat me like that either, Dad!

Access to the Olympic village will be limited.

There will be two checkpoints by the entrances.

In these three areas, by the stadium,

the Olympic pool and the sports arena,

we will have members of the police and the army.

For the next three months we will run

intelligence operations

to detect any incidents prior to the games.

This is possible thanks to the Department of Defense

in coordination with the Mexico City security team,

under the orders of Attorney General García Rivera.

Thank you, Mayor. Excellent work.

Thank you, Mr. President.

As you can see, Mr. Brundage,

guaranteeing security during the Games is as much a priority

for us, as it is for the International Olympic Committee.

All the government agencies in the country

are working to this end.

Now, Architect Ramírez Vázquez is waiting

to show us the new sports arena.

Mr. Mayor, please, come with us.

Mr. Secretary...
