-Oh my God, is everyone cooking flautas? -Come on, please. This line won't move.
-Elvira! -What's up, Tina?
Guess what? I got you a discount on that cream you ordered.
A NETFLIX SERIES
No cutting in line.
-I wasn't. -No.
-She was holding my spot for me. -Yes, I said I would.
The nerve of some people. Did you see that?
Good morning, people of the Saint Judas barrio!
You mean people of the Baby Jesus barrio.
Yes, the Baby Jesus barrio.
Baby Jesus barrio or Saint Judas barrio.
While I'm mayor, they're all important, and none will be ignored anymore.
Pinky promise!
Pinky! Pinky Corcuera. How's your mom doing?
Sil, what are you doing here among these plain...
yet beautiful people?
I started an NGO and set up community tortilla shops
to help this charming barrio.
So here I am, giving it my all.
Why not use your social venture and launch you as a representative?
My mom would love to see you at the government parties.
How can a town mayor organize parties
when this barrio doesn't even have running water?
-That's true! -Right!
Actually, that's why I came to launch the campaign for a barrio representative.
I will work closely with the winner.
Pinky promise!
Do it, Sil. There's, like, a huge budget.
Beautiful people!
I want to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy!
You don't say?
Well, I too am announcing my candidacy.
Go, Tina!
I mean, do you really think any random person can go up against me
and win?
Well, this random person has many supporters,
and I won't allow a former rich chick to rule my territory.
How do you like that?
Right on! Well said, Tina!
We already won, barrio!
-We'll see. -Vote for Agustina.
I am running to be the local representative
of the Baby Jesus barrio.
Politics will make us rich again. Yes!
-In a thousand years. -Wrong.
When my dad lost everything,
he got it all back in no time thanks to his connections in Mexican politics.
But Mexican politics have changed, my love.
Ernesto, please. No negative thoughts.
I want to raise my vibrations to attract abundance.
I'll be your campaign manager. I already have a slogan.
"I'm mad as hell at the poverty I see." A universal phrase.
Diego, I need people on my team who have experienced hardship firsthand.
I no longer have a moisturizing mask.
For example.
You're hired as my community manager.
-You never saw my potential. -That's not it.
The thing is I need a local who can complement
my lack of brashness.
Son!
Chivis for barrio queen.
I'm launching my candidacy.
I won't let that fake hussy win
and use the people to climb the social ladder.
In that case, it's good you're contending.
Now I just need a good campaign manager
who can help me get the connections I lack.
She says I can't be her campaign manager because I'm not from the barrio.
-That's classism, Tere. -Reverse classism's not a thing.
Well, then discrimination or something, because I'm the best!
I made Party Pete president in high school.
You're hired!
-I have excellent policy proposals. -Listen.
Bitter people are motivated.
Now I just need to recruit a spokesperson. Someone local, charismatic.
Thank you, sis. I accept your offer..
Pablo, right now everyone is treating you like an absolute god.
You win.
Auntie, are you really going to reject Tomás and me?
Power is not for sentimental people.
Lastly, I need someone with the big bucks.
I came to propose that Rigo Events
sponsor my Baby Jesus barrio representative campaign.
We'll be doing good and spending more time together.
What say you?
What's up? Are you feeling down?
Walked all over and dragged down.
What is it?
Long time no see, dear Tina.
Chayito, what a surprise!
Didn't you move to Gringoland years ago?
Well, yes.
But then I got that feeling of homesickness.
So I returned to recover my man.
Do you understand, or do you need translation?
-She's saying-- -I got it.
To perfection, very well.
And you, Agustina, what are you doing visiting my Rigo wearing heels and all?
I launched my candidacy.
So I put on my heels to test how uneven the pavement is
and take note in my political agenda.
I dropped by to ask Rigo for help with the campaign events.
Forget it. We are politically neutral.
Can you translate?
Or should I clarify it for you?
It turns out Chayo came back from the States
to win me back because she says I'm a catch.
She also thinks this is best for our daughter, Brittany.
So she's asking for my time… and events.
Women rule in this barrio.
So I need an ally who understands their poor taste.
Tomás is really good at seducing local women.
Isn't someone who can talk to them better.
Honey, we're in politics. The last thing people want is to be heard.
I also thought of Tere, who talks pure nonsense.
More like she stands up for her rights.
Though I doubt she wants to ally with the enemy. I mean…
My aunt betrayed us. We want in on your campaign.
This is called the Law of Attraction.
Welcome! And I promise to pay you very well for your services.
Chivis, we don't have any money.
Remember, poor people love to get paid in promises. Right?
Chayo is back from the States to get her man back.
Chayo is back?
She had half the barrio head over heels.
After you left, she was the only woman Rigo could replace you with.
Don't add insult to injury, Mom.
Besides, I don't have time for a love showdown
when I'm facing a political showdown.
-You're right, my dear. -Yes.
Tough break, you know?
He's just a man. The campaign is what counts.
That's my daughter right there!
Your connections will be useful.
Pinky Corcuera can hire us for many town council events.
I hadn't thought of that.
The sky's the limit, compadre. So ask him to grab some beers with us.
We don't really "grab beers."
You showed me the world of small installment loans.
Now let me show you how we do networking at the top.
But you look so ordinary.
That polyester shirt will give you a rash. You know why? Because you're a traitor.
What about you?
Tere and Tomás,
look at those stiff collars, you wannabe show-offs.
You're not even a López. You're a Salcido. You're starting off on the wrong foot.
I know you're not too bright, so let me explain.
I do it for Leonor and her kids who happen to be my family,
despite a few traitors.
Yes, there are two of them.
Besides, it's the cause that makes a good campaign, not the last name.
The Lópezes will give me my cause. And I'll give them my connections.
Why do you think I stole your Diex? We're even.
We'll see about that.
Did you see that?
Blondie is making my blood boil.
If we want to win, let's do it like the orange man,
the master of dirty campaigns, Donald Trump.
What matters aren't policies but attacks on your opponent.
-Is that allowed? -That's irrelevant now, honey.
How will we screw over Blondie?
Piece of cake. I just speak ill of my stepmom, like in Cinderella.
Cinderella, I know that one. Do you know Cinderella?
You don't even watch cartoons.
What we'll do is get Silvia closer to the people to show she's empathetic.
But on social media, so I don't touch the riffraff.
Yeah, right.
Hello, charming people from the Baby Jesus barrio.
I'm Silvia Espinoza de los Montero.
You know me as Chivis.
And I love you all so much
that I'm here to listen to all your requests with all my love.
So what's next for your campaign? Separating church from state?
LESS CHURCHES MORE SCHOOLS
No, listen.
You want to end Santería.
MORE MEDICINE LESS SANTERÍA
But you hit a giant gong every day to "bring in good vibes."
Yes, that's why…
Chivis, I never thought you would betray me.
MORE ACTION LESS WAXING
Take mustache removal from me, and I'll take my vote elsewhere.
I'd never say any of those things.
Change is not easy.
Tere, you overdid it a bit.
I mean, it's not like that.
What's all this ruckus I've been hearing?
It's Chivi's campaign.
She's trying to take away our customs and traditions!
At least we have ideas. I mean, they're not even campaigning.
Of course we are. Do you want to see?
If you vote for Chivis,
you'll make Baby Jesus of the Baby Jesus barrio cry.
As the guru of a fitness sect,
she makes women do humiliating training.
She throws away their sacred food.
-But… -No.
She endorses pagan celebrations where they slaughter innocent turkeys.
-What's this? -She plays a gong.
Because our church bells aren't good enough for her.
Her daughter is known as "racist Crista."
You bunch of plebs!
-This place smells weird. -That's me?
As if that wasn't enough, Silvia went bankrupt
for mismanaging her household.
-Okay. -Your mom.
If she lost her house, what will she do with our barrio?
Vote for López.
Let's do this!
Hey!
And now what?
These videos are a new low.
And effective. The polls show support for Agustina.
That's because our ads aren't full of lies like "Chivis sucks at managing."
Lies? We'll see about that.
How much is ten minus one?
I'm not good with numbers.
At least our campaign is ethical. What you do is sensationalism.
Your bossiness creates dictatorships.
-I forbid you from-- -See?
-You called me racist! -You can't stand dark people.
Be grateful we invited you to the party, or you'd be lynched.
You betrayed your barrio by moving to the border.
Did you think you could cross it? They didn't give you a chance! Too bad.
I'm critical, not a sensationalist.
Authoritarian! Imposing your ideas.
-No. -My campaign is ethical. Yours is dirty.
Your house is dirty! So is your campaign.
Hey!
What?
Instead of a bar fight,
why not hold a democratic and civilized political debate?
-I thought of that. -I was about to say it.
-I got first place in public speaking. -That has nothing to do with debate.
-Listen to her. -Let's go, Mom.
I learned to rap in the slammer.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the debate of the candidates
for the Baby Jesus barrio representative.
On this side, we have the natural blonde, Silvia Espinoza de los Montero.
And on the other side, we have the short yet curvy Agustina Salcido.
Let's go!
The debate moderator is a barrio native who's always embraced her origins
despite her success in show business and politics.
Mrs. Maribel Fernández!
Go, Maribel!
I want to start this important debate by asking my fellow ladies a question.
Which one of you two best represents the barrio?
Me, of course. The missy doesn't even know her zip code.
Of course I know it.
It's…
Go on. She doesn't know.
It's irrelevant if I carry the barrio in my heart.
Well said!
It's nice to hear that you carry the barrio in your heart
because others carry it in their underwear and don't give a shit.
So what actions will you take to improve the barrio?
For starters, put it on the map. It's not on Waze.
Of course!
Stop blackouts so we can binge-watch football and soap operas!
That's it! Family sports!
And I promise full pantries for everyone!
Home theaters and robot vacuums!
What's that?
Vacuums!
I promise to improve the sewage system,
or at least pour a bucket of water in the toilet, so the house doesn't stink!
Well, I don't promise you anything.
We all know politicians don't keep their promises.
-Who's she? -I don't know.
That's why I crossed the border
to bring you first-world politics.
Of course! Like doing international trade
to export our pork rind tortillas!
Absolutely!
Giving out free heels for female empowerment!
Electrocuting all those petty thieves like they do in the States!
And a boob job for every woman!
What are you doing?
You left because neither this barrio nor Rigo were enough for you.
If I have to get into politics to mark my territory,
that's what I'll do, sweetie.
A girl has to do what a girl has to do.
Who is this imposter? Really?
What the fuck?
I'll kick Agustina out of this barrio, and that blonde too.
I've been checking things out, and I can't believe it.
Agustina doesn't even pay you rent,
so I'm filing a citizen complaint right now.
Chayo.
Tina is family.
Agustina is my enemy in politics
and rival in love.
Or did you think I wouldn't find out about you grovelling for those wide hips?
How did you find that out?
Small town gossip travels far, darling.
Hi, lovely followers.
We're here to make an important announcement.
The end of our relationship.
The reason for this is the political climate we are in right now.
As the community managers of opposing campaigns, we've decided to part ways.
I'll become an influencer like Mariana "Bright Shoes"
because I want my mom to win the election like governor Samy Cantú.
And I'll proselytize like Raúl Araiza, except for a good party.
But this won't change our love for you.
I'm going to miss you, Pablo.
Same here, Crista.
What? You aren't crying?
No way, come on.
I'm leaving.
Don't scare me, Neto.
I'm sure this cost a fortune.
Well, yes. But Pinky has to feel like he is among his kind.
I'll handle Pinky, and you're going undercover as my caddie.
-Caddie? -What's up, my man?
Hey there, man!
Let's get started.
Did you bring any booze?
Just this little something.
Dude, you sure know what I like.
And I left a bar tab open at hole nineteen
so you can chill after with nothing to worry about.
Ready to be humiliated?
Hey, compadre, shouldn't we talk to him about the business
before he goes to the open bar?
But we're only at hole number one.
On which hole do you talk business?
Well, usually on the last one.
Grab this.
We've been hit hard in the polls since Chayo entered.
They lack patriotism.
They didn't forgive me for moving to Juárez
but are okay with her going to the US.
She did make it to the other side.
Your account is full of haters, Mom.
I love it! There's no bad publicity in politics.
We must do something, or we'll lose.
We must act, or we'll lose.
If we form a coalition, we'll be stronger together.
I was about to say that.
I planned to suggest it.
Are you high?
Are you drunk?
Think about it.
Son of a...
Did you forget your job, lackey?
Are you really losing to that moron on purpose?
He totally sucks!
Okay, I'll bring up the business now.
Hey man, I have a great opportunity.
Sil and I have a social business, a start-up.
Dial it down, man. We're chilling here.
Come on!
Grab the stuff.
No way I'm joining my rival. What am I, a traitor?
Forget it. I have a personal agenda. That's why I got into politics.
I need a divine sign like when Leo appeared to me in the shower
and told me to listen to Rigo.
Sil…
Hello.
Sil! I've seen your polls. You're not doing too well.
So I called to motivate you.
If you win, you and I will be able to inflate the budget.
Yes!
Divine!
Dude! Did you see my awesome shot?
No, he moved the ball!
I saw you. Don't play dumb. You moved it, cheater.
Ernie, chill you caddie.
He's got quite the mouth, and he's blind.
-I'll kick his ass. -No. Listen to me.
If we give up now, we'll lose the business.
Calm down.
You'll need a miracle shot to win.
Well, miracle shots do happen sometimes.
No way.
You're a loser.
Remember when you lost that ski race to me in Vail?
By the way, why didn't you guys go this year?
Because we decided to go to Madrid for our anniversary.
Madrid. Did Sil tell you that's where we hooked up?
She took advantage of my youth.
She mentioned something.
That Sil goes crazy very easily, Neto.
Dude, relax. I'm messing with you.
All right, take your last shot. I want my crown.
No fucking way!
Did you see that!
Did you see!
It actually went in the hole!
Miracles do happen!
Yes!
All right.
Since I became mayor, everyone lets me win.
It's my first loss.
Hey, man, that thing about my wife was just a joke, right?
Or should I beat the shit out of you?
If he doesn't, I will, you prick.
Okay. So that business we were going to talk about
just went down the drain, right?
Catalina? What brings you here?
Classified information about Mrs. Chayo's campaign.
Classified? I researched everything.
She'll kick you and Mrs. Silvia out of your homes.
You won't be residents anymore, and she'll win.
No way.
And Rigo agreed?
Well, he didn't agree or disagree.
Holy shit.
And something worse.
Chayo was deported for leaving birria bones in the street,
which is illegal in the US.
She just came to cash in on Mr. Rigo and go back to her man.
-How did you find out? -On Facebook. She posts everything.
-What an idiot. -People still use Facebook?
That's the sign.
That must be the sign!
The López-Espinozas
The woke and the posh
Together we are stronger
United we will prevail
The López-Espinozas
The woke and the posh
Working hand-in-hand
To make a better life
The López-Espinozas
The woke and the posh
The López-Espinozas
The woke and the posh
López-Espinoza!
This is your strategy?
-Fucking TikToks! -It's what works best.
Diego.
Hey, Tere, it's not my fault.
I've been thinking, since we're no longer rivals,
we could reopen our Toxicutes account.
It's not a good idea.
Look, since I became single, my personal account has gotten more fans.
Give me a break! You're wasting time while we're working.
In politics, that's called corruption.
No way, there's ten more!
Rigo!
Tina.
The campaign ends tomorrow. If Chayo sees you--
Let her think I came to extort you like a corrupt politician. Here.
It's the rent money. Keep the rubber band.
Tina, I didn't ask for it.
I just found out about Chayo's plan
to kick us out to win the election, and you didn't even object.
It's not that, Tina. It's that we own joint property.
But I'm expanding my business so I can keep supporting you.
Rigo.
There's no need.
Don't sweat it. When the election is over, we'll leave the slum you lent us,
which is full of mold.
Tina.
Your thoughts, compadre?
RIGO & NETO EVENTS
With your connections and my vision, we can take this to the next level.
Partner!
Good afternoon, beautiful people of the Baby Jesus barrio!
Bravo!
Rigo & Neto Events
welcomes you to the final event of the election of the candidates.
The López-Espinoza coalition!
And Mrs. Chayito who just came back from the USA!
Chayo!
I'll hand the stage over to the mayor, who will announce the results of vote!
Hold for the picture, will you?
How's my barrio?
-Good! -Awesome!
It's time to find out who will be our new representative.
Working alongside me, we'll make good on every…
Pinky promise!
And our new leader is…
Come on, don't keep us waiting! Say it!
It's a tie.
What?
Wait!
One vote's missing.
With all the party preparations, I forgot to put my vote in the ballot box.
We demand a new election!
Pinky Corcuera, untimely votes can't count in your government!
Why not? My Rigo has every right to vote.
Yes, he does!
-No! -Come on!
Are you for real?
Sir, a new election would require the allocation of more funds,
and you spent them on your Paris vacation.
What now?
We will count this vote.
No citizen will be left out of our election process.
Of course!
We're fucked.
I'm telling you right now.
The vote goes to
the coalition of López-Espinoza!
How is this possible?
The López-Espinozas!
We will now proceed as follows.
-Attention, please! -Now what?
These women can't represent our barrio because they don't even live here.
What the fuck?
Very soon they will annul their victory because I filed a citizen's complaint.
What?
This fucking barrio, do I have to translate every word?
-Go fuck yourself! -Come on!
A citizen's complaint.
I saw your Facebook last night.
I should be happy,
but Pablo didn't want to reactivate Toxicutes.
And I miss our account a lot.
I doubt it's Toxicutes that you miss.
-Pablo! -I'll be right back.
I'm happy. I know what got me feeling down.
This.
What was that? We don't post content anymore.
It's like, ew, that I, the girl,
have to say it to you first. It's not okay, but whatever.
I'm saying that I like you for real. We can be Toxicutes, like, for real!
But the thing is, right now I'm trying to maintain my image,
both online and in real life.
And well, online I'm a single hunk, and in the real world too.
But thanks.
Sorry.
-Hey, what's up? -Yeah, we won.
Are you okay?
No.
I feel like I have a cold without the sneezing.
I have a stomachache but without the throwing up.
What's wrong with me?
It's called rejection.
Welcome to the world of mortals.
-We make a fucking good team, right? -A "fucking good" team?
We fought, but in the end, we won the election.
We won the election, but in the end,
we lost each other, didn't we?
What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?
I didn't come prepared.
Tere, it's not you. It's me.
Well, both of us.
But actually, it's more you. You don't accept me for who I am.
I think I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore.
Well… I don't think.
I know.
Rigoberto!
I wanted to thank you for your vote. I truly wasn't expecting it.
I'm done with Chayo, Agustina.
My vote has always been for you.
In everything.
Frankly, I've been wanting to give you a kiss for days.
So give it here.
Wow!
-What? -Look at that.
Hey! No!
Well, I think it's time for your speech.
Bravo!
-You're better with words. -Usually, yes.
Speech!
Hold on a second.
I forgot to mention that we have a clandestine investment
in the Cayman Islands.
I just got the bank statement.
We are millionaires again!
No way!
Tina, I just got an offer
for your sister's swanky house in that neighborhood. You're rich too!
No way!
Not me, my family. In the end, Leonor won it for them.
Honey, this means that your nightmare is over.
You don't have to represent the barrio you hate so much.
So it's finally over, Blondie.
We don't even have to work together anymore. It was a pleasure.
So?
What'll it be, Blondie?
