Club De Cuervos (2015) s03e04 Episode Script
Business or Pleasure?
1 TWO MEN BETRAYED BY THE SAME WOMAN BECOME RELATIVES.
THREE YEARS AGO -Where did these photos come from? -Via e-mail.
So what then? Are they important? It's a cover story.
He's over there.
You son of a bitch, listen.
From now on, you are going to be an obedient bitch.
I'm only going to tell you once.
The photos you have will never see the light of day.
-Go fuck yourself.
-Mani.
Are you going to give me the pictures or should I keep beating you up? But this is a team owner's face stuck between a woman's tits covered in coke.
Watch your mouth.
To hell with this place.
This newspaper and these fucking people have no integrity.
But where will you go? I'm going to create my own blog.
I'm going to denounce the corruption of the oligarchy.
Fucking Chava.
Never forget me.
You are going to denounce the oligarchy? How the fuck are you going to pay the bills? I'll create my own blog.
Like Carmen Aristegui and Ricardo Rocha.
That's right, Denigris.
We are here and everyone has evacuated We are asking all the people-- Fucking Chava.
You need to support me.
And you? When are you going to support me with this? Or this? Our credit card's been past due for months.
Fucking Chava.
Luis Videgaray, former Treasury Secretary will be held accountable by senators due to Mexico's current economic and political standing.
In the latest term of Governor Gomez-Prieto, we've seen hundreds of fur farms closing down, our talented hands are leaving from Nuevo Toledo to Nuevo León, and the water in our dam is in the hands of Dragon Cola.
I know the needs of our state.
Therefore, I'll end our issues with crime, poverty, lack of education, and I'll also create a health-care system for our state, Salvador Care.
Because Salvador Iglesias cares about the citizens, my citizens.
A vote for me is a vote for yourself.
I'm Salvador Iglesias, and I'll be joining Church and State.
PRESEN Chava.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Okay, gentlemen, now you know #IamCuervoMIM.
MIM for made in Mexico.
Support us.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are just a few days from the tournament, and there are people who are seeing them in the Second Division.
They call them the leftovers.
What's left of the Cuervos.
So, here it is, our team's hashtag, #IamCuervoMIM.
Use it with your phone -to support the Cuervos nationally.
-What is this? Oh, look, have one.
#IamCuervoMIM? What is this shit? I thought it would be a way to motivate people, because of the buying of local players we've done recently.
National pride.
Do you think this is national pride? Let's pray to God that we don't incur national ridicule.
-Whose idea was it? -Carmelo proposed it.
No.
No.
No.
Okay, let's go, calm down.
I told you, Carmelo.
Federico, how do you feel returning to the championship with a brand-new team? We feel great.
We know the media has talked a lot about us, the new lineup TD CLUB DE CUERVOS NEGROS SALVAJES OF NUEVO TOLEDO IN PUEBLA but we have a new offensive team, with character, and that makes us happy.
You've brought in very good reinforcements this season.
Do you think you could win? I don't know.
BENITO "THE ZOMBIE" GUERRERO FORWARD So, how are you feeling, health-wise? How's your problem? Good, good.
It's going great, thank you.
My experiences between life and death will help me in this a lot.
And I'll tell you one more thing.
If you don't put your heart in it when you're running on the field you're doing something wrong.
And I may not know much, but I know about the heart 'cause I have a heart murmur.
AXEL CARMENARA MIDFIELDER To be honest, I don't think it's fair to compare, because my dad lived in a different time.
Back then, players could even play drunk.
But now we are at top level.
What's the most important thing your father taught you as a player? I think it was humility.
JULITO CERVERA FORWARD So, how's it going with your problem with bribes? Are we still going to keep talking about that? So, which team, or what's giving you energy? Well, with my cousin.
With my cousin and his trucks.
PEPE "EL PEPENADOR" MORALES GOALIE Which trucks? His trucks his system of trash separation.
Oh, I see.
And which are your--? I work in waste picking.
MOISÃS SUÃREZ MIDFIELDER How do you feel about being back in Mexico? I'm very happy to be in Mexico and be back home.
Are you really being forced to play for the Cuervos so you can play nationally? As I said, I'm very happy to be back in Mexico.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Moi? What's up? I'm Axel Carmenara.
Did you play with my dad? Rodrigo Carmenara, no? Rodrigo 2.
0, at your service.
Hey, what's up with the team, dude? Did you really leave Greece for this shit? When my dad took us to Greece, he rented a yacht that was about 150 feet long.
The beach was incredible.
We should go there on vacation next summer-- Hey, dude, get out of here.
We don't really care who your dad was.
-So? -It's so sad, dude.
To think I'm going to retire in this shithole.
Hey, dude.
You know the Cuervos is the only team that hired Mexicans this season, right? The Chivas already did that, dude.
No one hired Mexicans this season, dude.
Yeah, but look at what they hired.
The leftovers of the leftovers of the leftovers.
Look at that dude.
What are you doing? TWITTER: ONLY ONE TEAM HIRED MEXICANS THIS SEASON.
8/10 Spreading the word.
Put that down, idiot.
Why are you doing that shit? -It got sent.
-Erase it, dude.
These guys are retaining you with a gentlemen's pact, and you know it.
You're not going to do anything? Don't be a pussy.
Look, I'll retire from the national team.
-Are we clear? -Okay.
Good luck, dude.
Enjoy your meal.
Hello, thank you for coming.
-We are very thankful you're here-- -My turn.
And Isabel will now say a few words.
Good afternoon.
We are honored that you've come today on such a special day, such a happy day.
And we'd like to share our feelings with you and There it is.
Okay.
Let's see -Ge-- -I'd like to start by asking a question.
What is a crow? To us, a crow is a friend, a species that inspires us to fly and helps us reach victory.
Today a new species of crow is born.
A crow that isn't only black.
A crow that is also feral.
And a crow that is from Nuevo Toledo but who also lives in Puebla.
So, without further ado, we'd like to present to you -the Cuervos Negros Salvajes -The Cuervos Negros Salvajes -of Nuevo Toledo! -of Nuevo Toledo! In Puebla.
Bravo! Shouldn't there be ten of them? Shouldn't there be ten of them? We don't have the ten? Fly.
Fly.
Why aren't they flying? Is it a bad omen or what? -Oh, God, no.
-What happened? -We just got the offer from Maxivision.
-And? -Two million.
-Crap.
Half of what we got last year.
So For fuck's sake.
-Oh, no.
-I told you the crows were a bad omen.
Fucking useless lawyers.
They can't even fix a traffic ticket.
-We have to go with Televisol.
-Oh, yeah.
You think? Gaspar knows if you win as governor, you'll take the stadium.
Why would he help? Well, those things are separate.
The Cuervos have better ratings.
It's like when I told off my dad because he divorced my mother, -but still asked him for money to go out.
-It's not the same.
Look, the teams are going to other networks besides Maxivision and Televisol.
Yes, Chava, but if we act like idiots, they already have other teams.
-They control the entire league.
-Yes.
It's not like you want to end up on Chivas TV, right? No, I know, but things have changed.
There's more options.
The network oligopoly doesn't work anymore.
If the TV wants our rights, they have to pay us well.
What should I tell them about our decision? When is the deadline? Tomorrow at five o'clock.
Dial Gaspar for me.
Nice try, idiot.
-Call him yourself.
-Okay.
Hold on.
-Yes? -Gaspar, how are you? Chava Iglesias.
Hey, how are you? Well, look I know we are both competing for the Cuervos' stadium.
But I also know you are a TV executive.
And I wanted to ask if you wanted the rights of the Cuervos for TV.
And what happened to Maxivision? Well, let's say we are reviewing all our options.
Well, yes, we should talk about it.
Okay, so, see you tomorrow at How about five o'clock? Oh, but I have a meeting at five tomorrow.
Don't worry about it.
I'll go with Fox.
Let me try to cancel it, okay? Awesome.
Have a good day.
Chava, what the hell? Why'd you tell him that? -What if he tells you to fuck off? -Isabel.
If you don't treat what you have like gold, everyone else will treat it like shit.
This is what we'll do.
Tomorrow, at the same time, I'll go with Televisol -and you'll go to Maxivision.
-Okay.
We'll text each other to see who got the best offer.
If I get offered something better, I'll let you know so you can be a bitch to Maldonado.
Let's go, Pepe.
Hey, Rey.
Dude.
We have an invitation for tonight.
TWITTER MESSAGE FROM RAFA MÃRQUEZ 43 SAN MATEO AVE, 11:00 P.
M.
Is it Rafa Márquez? The good Rafa Márquez or Rafa Márquez Lugo? "Rafa Márquez" Rafa Márquez, dude.
This is for real.
I'll see you tonight.
Send me the address, dude.
HOW'S MY FAVORITE LITTLE DOGGY? Mr.
Gaspar is running late.
Would you like something to drink? Coffee, please.
-Of course.
-Thank you.
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO? THE FUTURE GOVERNOR OF NUEVO TOLEDO DID YOU SEE MY AD? DID YOU LIKE IT? WELL, HERE YOU GO! SO YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE YOU LOOK LIKE A SERIAL KILLER! CREEP BLOCKED CONTACT.
What the fuck? Stupid bitch.
What did I say? She's Daddy's little girl.
PHONE CALL FROM PRL Salvador Iglesias, future governor of Nuevo Toledo.
Chava, turn on the TV.
There's a scandal about you.
Just turn on the TV and explain yourself.
Which--? Which channel? Scandalous pictures of a candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo, Salvador Iglesias Jr.
, were revealed today.
According to our reports, the pictures reveal the magnate snorting cocaine and other drugs, while in an orgy with other members of his father's soccer team.
I assure you, I don't know where those pictures came from.
Yes, I understand.
I'll be right there.
Mr.
Gaspar is ready to see you.
Tell him I must reschedule.
Thanks.
-Two million? -I know the offer seems low to you.
It seems like an offer from the last century.
You guys are coming back from Second Division.
Oh, please.
Don't screw around, Javier.
We've been in First Division for 30 years.
You may call your team Cuervos Negros Salvajes of Nuevo Toledo, -but they aren't the Cuervos.
-Of course we are.
Not for this negotiation.
Well, let's see if we are the Cuervos when we get an offer from Televisol.
-You can go with Televisol if you want.
-Okay.
But do you really believe you'd have the same support in the league? We have better players on our teams.
We can loan them to you if you have a problem with cash flow.
Besides, they did not help you last year.
In fact they fucked you over.
You really believe they'd help you if you need it? Besides, you guys are fighting for the same stadium.
Don't you need an ally in all of this? Did you just get separated from your husband? Yes.
He was the manager, right? Yes, yes, yes.
Well, if it's any consolation You, too? Really? What happened? I found her with another man.
Thatâs crazy.
I have to go.
Okay, well Well a pleasure to have worked with you for so many years.
A pleasure.
What if we go for dinner? To continue our conversation.
Give me a second to go to the bathroom.
Why didn't you tell us anything about this? At least to prepare ourselves.
Chava.
What the hell, dude? Weren't we going to text each other? I'm here with this guy, we're going to go for dinner, and I still don't have a counteroffer.
Call me immediately.
They are Photoshopped.
Oh, please.
I've seen enough Photoshop in campaigns to know that these are real.
Look, Mr.
Condell these photos are only because of a reporter who's desperate and trying to get fame from sullying my reputation.
What did you do to this guy? Why does he hate you so much? Nothing at all.
You know very well that PRL is a conservative party.
For God's sake, we represent family and religious values.
Why would you think we'd like to ally ourselves with a cocaine addict who organizes orgies? What? Look, Mr.
Condell I've changed a lot.
I've had a series of misfortunes in life, and I'm a changed man.
These photos do not represent the person that I am today.
You have 48 hours to fix this, or I'll make Emiliano the new candidate.
-Don't worry.
-Consider it fixed.
Give us just a few hours.
What's up, dude? Dude Why do men want to talk about business when they take you for dinner? To cheat on their wives at work, dude.
No, no, this one just got separated.
He wants to fuck me openly.
Then do it.
No, no, no.
I can't do that.
I just got separated.
Rafa just left.
I don't know if we'll get back together.
So, the plan is that this dude can fuck whoever he wants, and you'll just wait for him to regret it? Thank you for reminding me that my life is shit and that Rafa probably gave me chlamydia.
Don't get so dramatic.
At least he cheated with another woman.
My love! You wouldn't even let me stick my finger in your asshole.
What? With the chauffeur? Yes.
Truthfully, though, it made our marriage a little more interesting.
Look, the point is, you should go out with other men.
But, Emilia, I don't want to mix business with pleasure.
Why give him ideas? Give him ideas.
It'll be in your favor.
He'll be thinking with his penis instead of his head.
You think? What if he gets ideas, wants to go to the hotel? Well, just get the deal you want, fuck him, and that's it.
Okay, you know what? Fuck it, I'll fuck him.
Oh, okay.
Bye.
We recovered Moisés.
He's on the national team.
Just with that, we'll double the ticket sales.
-More wine? -Oh, no, no.
No, thanks.
I want to stay alert.
I mean, we are in a business meeting, right? Friends talking about business during dinner isn't a business deal.
It's just friends dining and casually mentioning business.
Okay, then mention another amount so that I can tell my brother.
I can offer you another $500,000.
It would be a total of 2.
5 million.
-You can't think of a higher amount? -You guys just got into First Division.
We'd be partners.
-You'd be part of the family.
-I don't know what to say.
Say yes, and then we'll celebrate.
Okay, yes.
It's a deal.
So, let's celebrate.
Dude, are you sure it's here? This is what the map says.
There's no one here, dude.
Let's ask, man.
I know this is a weird question, but have you seen Rafa Márquez? We're here for Rafa Márquez.
Come in.
Chivita.
How are you? Please, take your seats.
So Thank you for coming.
We are all reunited here because we think it's time to do something between the players and the league.
We know it's one of the best-paid leagues.
But it's also the only league in the world, I think, without a player's union.
We're very familiar with, for example, the gentlemen's pact.
We have no voice.
They don't listen to us.
They do whatever they want with us.
And that's without even talking about the 10/8 rule they implemented.
They are taking spots away from Mexicans.
And that's enough.
They treat us like merchandise.
It's time to get together.
They send us to whatever team they want, and they don't even abide by the contract.
It already happened to me.
They didn't fulfill a year of my contract.
It's time to make our own decisions, to get respect.
For sure.
And one of our proposals is that every time someone scores, to lift your T-shirt and show this one, with the hashtag "10/8.
" Yes.
So that people can realize what's going on.
Yes, correct.
And if you notice anything unfair or anything strange, use it.
Use the hashtag on Twitter.
Also, those of us who are on the national team, the idea is to avoid playing with them until we can get a fair deal with the directors.
-May I? -Yes, of course.
I agree with almost everything said here.
I think it's a good initiative.
But the truth, Rafa, I must say, is that we aren't in the same circumstances.
You are untouchable.
You are beyond good and evil.
And I'm not.
I'm just a soccer pawn.
And I've already been banned once, and I couldn't get drafted onto the national team, so, I can't let this opportunity get away, and I can't even lose a month or anything to go play with them.
Understand? So, I'm sorry, but -I'm leaving, dude.
-Right, Moi.
Maybe you're right.
But I'm not at some beach scratching my ass.
I'm here with all of you, trying to find something better for Mexican soccer.
For sure.
I'm with you guys.
Whatever you need.
This is great, but honestly we have to go.
Our flight is about to leave.
We have a friendly game against Aruba.
I'll join the union after the World Cup.
See? Because of this type of people, we can't get anything done.
In the end, we don't reach an agreement.
Well to victory, but later after the World Cup.
Goodbye, assholes! -Sorry.
Excuse me, guys.
-Just go.
Good luck.
So funny Good morning, Isabel.
Good morning, Carmelo.
What the fuck, Chava? Where were you yesterday? Weren't we supposed to text each other to see who got the best deal? I had to go to dinner with this guy, waiting for your text, but you didn't give a shit, dude.
You disappeared, dude.
What the fuck? Are you finished? Yes, I am.
-Where were you? -It's my turn.
Guess what problem I have because of you.
What problem? Remember the photos you sent where I was snorting coke from a whore? -Yes.
-Well, that idiot decided to publish them on his blog.
Yes.
So, I had to leave Gaspar hanging to go to the party to beg them not to stop supporting me.
So, you didn't go to Televisol? That's what you're gonna ask me now? Instead of apologizing? Of course I didn't go to Televisol, dude.
My political career and my reputation went down the shithole.
How did it go with Maxivision? Well, it went okay.
He -He did give us more money.
-Yeah? -How much more money? -Five hundred.
Five hundred what? Five hundred what? Dollars? Five hundred thousand dollars? And you accepted it? That won't even cover the money to paint the field, dude.
Are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday? Of course not.
It's a black suit.
I have thousands of them.
Then you should change, because if I think it's the same one, so will other people.
Chava, the suit I'm wearing is none of your business.
What's your problem, dude? You didn't shower, or what? I don't care about your hygiene, dude.
Go to Televisol and get another deal, because what you got is just a tip.
Okay, but I already kind of accepted with Maxivision.
What do you mean, "kind of accepted"? Did you accept or not? Well, kind of.
Okay, since you haven't accepted yet, go and get another deal.
Yes.
But I do believe that it's important to maintain Maxivision as allies in the league.
Look Chava, if we have a lot of cash flow, they'll help us with players, things like that.
Televisol is competing with us for the stadium.
Understand? But Maxivision can help us if we have any problems.
-Go with Televisol.
-No-- Okay.
Come on, dude.
So, each time you score, you lift your T-shirt and show this shit.
Number ten? Eighth? No, August 10th.
That's my dog's birthday.
It's hashtag "10/8," dude.
It's a proposal against the new rule that allows foreigners, dude.
Cuau, Cuau.
We are all humans.
That nationality thing is a capitalistic scheme, dude.
Just keep playing.
Besides, they can fire us.
How are they going to fire us if they couldn't even hire us all? Julito.
Zombie.
You are forwards, dude, come on.
Okay, yes, sounds great, Cuau, but no.
I can't risk what I have now.
But good luck in your endeavors, dude.
It'll be great, you'll see.
And you? What? Don't even look at me.
If my dad learns I'm fucking up his career as a sports announcer I'm doomed, dude.
But good luck.
If you want, I'll wear it.
Pepe I'm sorry, but you are a goalie.
You don't score.
-Cuau? -What, dude? Can I keep the T-shirt anyway? Hey, what an honor to be here.
This is Live With Paty Villa, and of course, I'm Paty Villa.
And today we have an amazing guest.
He is the candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo and the owner of the Cuervos.
Please give a warm welcome to Chava Iglesias.
Our Father who art in heaven Hi, Chava, thank you for coming.
Thank you.
I'm very happy to be on your show.
I've been through-- Okay, very well, our other guest is the journalist who published this story.
Please give another warm welcome to José Luis Lavalle.
-Hi, Paty.
-Hi, José Luis.
-How are you? -Good.
I'm so glad to have you here.
Welcome.
I'm very happy to be here on your show, Paty.
-Thank you.
-Please, tell us: What's going on with those pictures? How did you get them? And why did you only publish them now? Those pictures came to me via an anonymous e-mail.
When we tried to publish them, Salvador came to my office with his bodyguard, they broke my nose, her sister talked to my boss, and they canceled my story.
Those are very strong declarations.
WHAT IS GOING ON? TURN IT AROUND.
Chava, please tell us: Is it true that you and your sister tried to censor the media? What can you tell us, Chava? Well It's true.
What he's saying is true.
But he's talking about the old Chava.
Yes, I hit him.
But I hit him because I was terrified, Paty.
I didn't know what to do.
I was very afraid that people would think of me as an irresponsible rich kid, just as I was taking control of my father's team.
The last thing I wanted was to destroy his legacy.
And I know that is no excuse.
But I'd like you to know that, ironically, by trying to quash that issue at that time, I made it worse.
Life has made me pay it back twice, with public humiliation and public failure, as well.
During my time in exile, I realized all the damage that I had caused to others due to my selfishness.
And today I'm here to To accept that I have deep shame within me.
And that shame is because of you, José Luis.
You deserved the best of me, but I let you down.
So, please hit me.
Hit him.
-No.
-That's what he's asking for.
I'm asking you, I'm begging you, José Luis, to hit me, in your name and in the name of everyone who deserves better politicians.
Hit me and even the scale.
No, no.
I won't hit you.
Then, please, forgive me.
Forgive me, José Luis, because I don't want my failures to define my life.
Good job, Chava! Because isn't the way to success paved with failure, ladies and gentlemen? Definitely.
I'd like to know what kind of leader you would prefer, a leader who falls and stays down? To get up.
Exactly, ma'am.
Or a leader who fell on the ground but gets up, over and over again.
Yes, the one who stands up again, of course.
I'd like you to know-- Which one is my camera? I'd like you to know that I want a second chance.
What I'm trying to say is that if I still have a little power over Nuevo Toledo I want to use it for the people, José Luis, not for myself.
Come on, get up.
Good afternoon.
I'VE SEEN STUPIDITY AND ART.
CONGRATULATIONS, HE'S STILL A CANDIDATE.
Wonderful words, but don't go away.
We'll return after the break.
What the hell was that? I just rehabilitated your public image.
What are you doing later? I have a dinner with my producer.
Oh, I see.
I guess we both never have good timing.
You let me go.
Now it's your turn to wait.
To answer your brother's question, yes, we need teams, and yes, your team gives us ratings.
But I won't start a price war with Maxivision.
So, 3.
5 million dollars a season.
Three-point-five million dollars.
It's our final offer.
Four.
That's what Maxivision paid before you left, right? -Yes.
-Four-point-five.
Final offer, and we sign now.
Done.
Well -Thank you very much.
-Thank you.
-Can we talk? -Hello.
How are you? How are you? I thought when you said, "Can we talk," you meant -to "talk.
" -Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, I want to "talk.
" Yes, yes.
But before that, I need to speak with you.
Okay, well turns out that Chava, the day we were talking, on my way to talk with you Chava had gone to talk to Televisol and he had already signed a deal with Televisol, with them, without asking me.
-What? -Yes.
Yes, I said the same thing.
How could he go without asking me? But I knew it would happen with two presidents.
We both want to rule, and these things happen.
I don't want you to think I was lying to you.
But when Chava came, he said, "I was offered $4.
5 million," and I said, "I don't care.
We already have a deal with Maxivision.
" He asked, "How much did they offer?" When I told him, he said no, Televisol.
But I told him, "Give me a chance to talk to him," to tell you everything and make another deal -and maybe match the deal.
-What? Well, maybe not match, but if you give us four, with four, I can convince Chava to accept Maxivision.
Are you using our relationship to obtain a better deal? -What? No.
No, no.
-Yes, yes.
You are using me.
-I thought you liked me for real.
-No, of course I liked you.
I mean, I like you for real.
I like you.
In present tense.
I was not using you.
-I came as a friend.
-You seduced me.
And now you're taking advantage of my vulnerability to get more money.
No, no, no, that's not the case.
Please don't think that way.
Besides, you seduced me.
No, not at all.
I thought you and I had something special, an intellectual connection.
And we did.
And it was beautiful.
We did.
It was beautiful.
I mean, we have it.
That's why I'm here, as a friend, to ask for your help with this.
It's nothing, and then we can continue our thing.
To you, I'm nothing but an executive with a checkbook.
No, please, don't think that.
-Javier.
-Leave now, please.
Fine.
So, we aren't going to? I guess not.
What's up? How did it go? Maxivision hates us now.
I don't know how that'll affect us in the league, but at least we have the deal with Televisol.
-Okay.
-Hold on, Chava.
Mr.
Gaspar is calling me.
-Okay.
-I'll call you back.
Hello, Mr.
Gaspar.
How are you? I just spoke with Maldonado, and he told me what you did.
What did Mr.
Maldonado say I did? Did you make a deal with me to go to Maxivision and make a better deal? Oh, yes, yes.
-That.
But no-- -I don't know how you run your business -But-- But-- -but that's not how we behave.
Yes, of course, but no-- So, I'm very sorry, but I cannot work with you.
But, Mr.
Gaspar, I already had a deal with you.
Goodbye, Isabel.
Yes? -I'll tell you tomorrow, okay? -Okay, then.
WHATSAPP BAD, BAD GOVERNOR WHO IS THIS? YOUR FAVORITE DOGGY IT'S TIME TO PUT YOU ON A LEASH WATCH OUT, BECAUSE I BITE AND I PUNISH Hey, you know what? Go back in an Uber.
I'll take the SUV, because I have a date.
Thank you.
Are we going to a party, sir? Get out of the car, dude.
Yes, sir.
No problem.
Take care.
Have a good time.
Subtitle translation by Carolina Salazar
THREE YEARS AGO -Where did these photos come from? -Via e-mail.
So what then? Are they important? It's a cover story.
He's over there.
You son of a bitch, listen.
From now on, you are going to be an obedient bitch.
I'm only going to tell you once.
The photos you have will never see the light of day.
-Go fuck yourself.
-Mani.
Are you going to give me the pictures or should I keep beating you up? But this is a team owner's face stuck between a woman's tits covered in coke.
Watch your mouth.
To hell with this place.
This newspaper and these fucking people have no integrity.
But where will you go? I'm going to create my own blog.
I'm going to denounce the corruption of the oligarchy.
Fucking Chava.
Never forget me.
You are going to denounce the oligarchy? How the fuck are you going to pay the bills? I'll create my own blog.
Like Carmen Aristegui and Ricardo Rocha.
That's right, Denigris.
We are here and everyone has evacuated We are asking all the people-- Fucking Chava.
You need to support me.
And you? When are you going to support me with this? Or this? Our credit card's been past due for months.
Fucking Chava.
Luis Videgaray, former Treasury Secretary will be held accountable by senators due to Mexico's current economic and political standing.
In the latest term of Governor Gomez-Prieto, we've seen hundreds of fur farms closing down, our talented hands are leaving from Nuevo Toledo to Nuevo León, and the water in our dam is in the hands of Dragon Cola.
I know the needs of our state.
Therefore, I'll end our issues with crime, poverty, lack of education, and I'll also create a health-care system for our state, Salvador Care.
Because Salvador Iglesias cares about the citizens, my citizens.
A vote for me is a vote for yourself.
I'm Salvador Iglesias, and I'll be joining Church and State.
PRESEN Chava.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Okay, gentlemen, now you know #IamCuervoMIM.
MIM for made in Mexico.
Support us.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are just a few days from the tournament, and there are people who are seeing them in the Second Division.
They call them the leftovers.
What's left of the Cuervos.
So, here it is, our team's hashtag, #IamCuervoMIM.
Use it with your phone -to support the Cuervos nationally.
-What is this? Oh, look, have one.
#IamCuervoMIM? What is this shit? I thought it would be a way to motivate people, because of the buying of local players we've done recently.
National pride.
Do you think this is national pride? Let's pray to God that we don't incur national ridicule.
-Whose idea was it? -Carmelo proposed it.
No.
No.
No.
Okay, let's go, calm down.
I told you, Carmelo.
Federico, how do you feel returning to the championship with a brand-new team? We feel great.
We know the media has talked a lot about us, the new lineup TD CLUB DE CUERVOS NEGROS SALVAJES OF NUEVO TOLEDO IN PUEBLA but we have a new offensive team, with character, and that makes us happy.
You've brought in very good reinforcements this season.
Do you think you could win? I don't know.
BENITO "THE ZOMBIE" GUERRERO FORWARD So, how are you feeling, health-wise? How's your problem? Good, good.
It's going great, thank you.
My experiences between life and death will help me in this a lot.
And I'll tell you one more thing.
If you don't put your heart in it when you're running on the field you're doing something wrong.
And I may not know much, but I know about the heart 'cause I have a heart murmur.
AXEL CARMENARA MIDFIELDER To be honest, I don't think it's fair to compare, because my dad lived in a different time.
Back then, players could even play drunk.
But now we are at top level.
What's the most important thing your father taught you as a player? I think it was humility.
JULITO CERVERA FORWARD So, how's it going with your problem with bribes? Are we still going to keep talking about that? So, which team, or what's giving you energy? Well, with my cousin.
With my cousin and his trucks.
PEPE "EL PEPENADOR" MORALES GOALIE Which trucks? His trucks his system of trash separation.
Oh, I see.
And which are your--? I work in waste picking.
MOISÃS SUÃREZ MIDFIELDER How do you feel about being back in Mexico? I'm very happy to be in Mexico and be back home.
Are you really being forced to play for the Cuervos so you can play nationally? As I said, I'm very happy to be back in Mexico.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Moi? What's up? I'm Axel Carmenara.
Did you play with my dad? Rodrigo Carmenara, no? Rodrigo 2.
0, at your service.
Hey, what's up with the team, dude? Did you really leave Greece for this shit? When my dad took us to Greece, he rented a yacht that was about 150 feet long.
The beach was incredible.
We should go there on vacation next summer-- Hey, dude, get out of here.
We don't really care who your dad was.
-So? -It's so sad, dude.
To think I'm going to retire in this shithole.
Hey, dude.
You know the Cuervos is the only team that hired Mexicans this season, right? The Chivas already did that, dude.
No one hired Mexicans this season, dude.
Yeah, but look at what they hired.
The leftovers of the leftovers of the leftovers.
Look at that dude.
What are you doing? TWITTER: ONLY ONE TEAM HIRED MEXICANS THIS SEASON.
8/10 Spreading the word.
Put that down, idiot.
Why are you doing that shit? -It got sent.
-Erase it, dude.
These guys are retaining you with a gentlemen's pact, and you know it.
You're not going to do anything? Don't be a pussy.
Look, I'll retire from the national team.
-Are we clear? -Okay.
Good luck, dude.
Enjoy your meal.
Hello, thank you for coming.
-We are very thankful you're here-- -My turn.
And Isabel will now say a few words.
Good afternoon.
We are honored that you've come today on such a special day, such a happy day.
And we'd like to share our feelings with you and There it is.
Okay.
Let's see -Ge-- -I'd like to start by asking a question.
What is a crow? To us, a crow is a friend, a species that inspires us to fly and helps us reach victory.
Today a new species of crow is born.
A crow that isn't only black.
A crow that is also feral.
And a crow that is from Nuevo Toledo but who also lives in Puebla.
So, without further ado, we'd like to present to you -the Cuervos Negros Salvajes -The Cuervos Negros Salvajes -of Nuevo Toledo! -of Nuevo Toledo! In Puebla.
Bravo! Shouldn't there be ten of them? Shouldn't there be ten of them? We don't have the ten? Fly.
Fly.
Why aren't they flying? Is it a bad omen or what? -Oh, God, no.
-What happened? -We just got the offer from Maxivision.
-And? -Two million.
-Crap.
Half of what we got last year.
So For fuck's sake.
-Oh, no.
-I told you the crows were a bad omen.
Fucking useless lawyers.
They can't even fix a traffic ticket.
-We have to go with Televisol.
-Oh, yeah.
You think? Gaspar knows if you win as governor, you'll take the stadium.
Why would he help? Well, those things are separate.
The Cuervos have better ratings.
It's like when I told off my dad because he divorced my mother, -but still asked him for money to go out.
-It's not the same.
Look, the teams are going to other networks besides Maxivision and Televisol.
Yes, Chava, but if we act like idiots, they already have other teams.
-They control the entire league.
-Yes.
It's not like you want to end up on Chivas TV, right? No, I know, but things have changed.
There's more options.
The network oligopoly doesn't work anymore.
If the TV wants our rights, they have to pay us well.
What should I tell them about our decision? When is the deadline? Tomorrow at five o'clock.
Dial Gaspar for me.
Nice try, idiot.
-Call him yourself.
-Okay.
Hold on.
-Yes? -Gaspar, how are you? Chava Iglesias.
Hey, how are you? Well, look I know we are both competing for the Cuervos' stadium.
But I also know you are a TV executive.
And I wanted to ask if you wanted the rights of the Cuervos for TV.
And what happened to Maxivision? Well, let's say we are reviewing all our options.
Well, yes, we should talk about it.
Okay, so, see you tomorrow at How about five o'clock? Oh, but I have a meeting at five tomorrow.
Don't worry about it.
I'll go with Fox.
Let me try to cancel it, okay? Awesome.
Have a good day.
Chava, what the hell? Why'd you tell him that? -What if he tells you to fuck off? -Isabel.
If you don't treat what you have like gold, everyone else will treat it like shit.
This is what we'll do.
Tomorrow, at the same time, I'll go with Televisol -and you'll go to Maxivision.
-Okay.
We'll text each other to see who got the best offer.
If I get offered something better, I'll let you know so you can be a bitch to Maldonado.
Let's go, Pepe.
Hey, Rey.
Dude.
We have an invitation for tonight.
TWITTER MESSAGE FROM RAFA MÃRQUEZ 43 SAN MATEO AVE, 11:00 P.
M.
Is it Rafa Márquez? The good Rafa Márquez or Rafa Márquez Lugo? "Rafa Márquez" Rafa Márquez, dude.
This is for real.
I'll see you tonight.
Send me the address, dude.
HOW'S MY FAVORITE LITTLE DOGGY? Mr.
Gaspar is running late.
Would you like something to drink? Coffee, please.
-Of course.
-Thank you.
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO? THE FUTURE GOVERNOR OF NUEVO TOLEDO DID YOU SEE MY AD? DID YOU LIKE IT? WELL, HERE YOU GO! SO YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE YOU LOOK LIKE A SERIAL KILLER! CREEP BLOCKED CONTACT.
What the fuck? Stupid bitch.
What did I say? She's Daddy's little girl.
PHONE CALL FROM PRL Salvador Iglesias, future governor of Nuevo Toledo.
Chava, turn on the TV.
There's a scandal about you.
Just turn on the TV and explain yourself.
Which--? Which channel? Scandalous pictures of a candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo, Salvador Iglesias Jr.
, were revealed today.
According to our reports, the pictures reveal the magnate snorting cocaine and other drugs, while in an orgy with other members of his father's soccer team.
I assure you, I don't know where those pictures came from.
Yes, I understand.
I'll be right there.
Mr.
Gaspar is ready to see you.
Tell him I must reschedule.
Thanks.
-Two million? -I know the offer seems low to you.
It seems like an offer from the last century.
You guys are coming back from Second Division.
Oh, please.
Don't screw around, Javier.
We've been in First Division for 30 years.
You may call your team Cuervos Negros Salvajes of Nuevo Toledo, -but they aren't the Cuervos.
-Of course we are.
Not for this negotiation.
Well, let's see if we are the Cuervos when we get an offer from Televisol.
-You can go with Televisol if you want.
-Okay.
But do you really believe you'd have the same support in the league? We have better players on our teams.
We can loan them to you if you have a problem with cash flow.
Besides, they did not help you last year.
In fact they fucked you over.
You really believe they'd help you if you need it? Besides, you guys are fighting for the same stadium.
Don't you need an ally in all of this? Did you just get separated from your husband? Yes.
He was the manager, right? Yes, yes, yes.
Well, if it's any consolation You, too? Really? What happened? I found her with another man.
Thatâs crazy.
I have to go.
Okay, well Well a pleasure to have worked with you for so many years.
A pleasure.
What if we go for dinner? To continue our conversation.
Give me a second to go to the bathroom.
Why didn't you tell us anything about this? At least to prepare ourselves.
Chava.
What the hell, dude? Weren't we going to text each other? I'm here with this guy, we're going to go for dinner, and I still don't have a counteroffer.
Call me immediately.
They are Photoshopped.
Oh, please.
I've seen enough Photoshop in campaigns to know that these are real.
Look, Mr.
Condell these photos are only because of a reporter who's desperate and trying to get fame from sullying my reputation.
What did you do to this guy? Why does he hate you so much? Nothing at all.
You know very well that PRL is a conservative party.
For God's sake, we represent family and religious values.
Why would you think we'd like to ally ourselves with a cocaine addict who organizes orgies? What? Look, Mr.
Condell I've changed a lot.
I've had a series of misfortunes in life, and I'm a changed man.
These photos do not represent the person that I am today.
You have 48 hours to fix this, or I'll make Emiliano the new candidate.
-Don't worry.
-Consider it fixed.
Give us just a few hours.
What's up, dude? Dude Why do men want to talk about business when they take you for dinner? To cheat on their wives at work, dude.
No, no, this one just got separated.
He wants to fuck me openly.
Then do it.
No, no, no.
I can't do that.
I just got separated.
Rafa just left.
I don't know if we'll get back together.
So, the plan is that this dude can fuck whoever he wants, and you'll just wait for him to regret it? Thank you for reminding me that my life is shit and that Rafa probably gave me chlamydia.
Don't get so dramatic.
At least he cheated with another woman.
My love! You wouldn't even let me stick my finger in your asshole.
What? With the chauffeur? Yes.
Truthfully, though, it made our marriage a little more interesting.
Look, the point is, you should go out with other men.
But, Emilia, I don't want to mix business with pleasure.
Why give him ideas? Give him ideas.
It'll be in your favor.
He'll be thinking with his penis instead of his head.
You think? What if he gets ideas, wants to go to the hotel? Well, just get the deal you want, fuck him, and that's it.
Okay, you know what? Fuck it, I'll fuck him.
Oh, okay.
Bye.
We recovered Moisés.
He's on the national team.
Just with that, we'll double the ticket sales.
-More wine? -Oh, no, no.
No, thanks.
I want to stay alert.
I mean, we are in a business meeting, right? Friends talking about business during dinner isn't a business deal.
It's just friends dining and casually mentioning business.
Okay, then mention another amount so that I can tell my brother.
I can offer you another $500,000.
It would be a total of 2.
5 million.
-You can't think of a higher amount? -You guys just got into First Division.
We'd be partners.
-You'd be part of the family.
-I don't know what to say.
Say yes, and then we'll celebrate.
Okay, yes.
It's a deal.
So, let's celebrate.
Dude, are you sure it's here? This is what the map says.
There's no one here, dude.
Let's ask, man.
I know this is a weird question, but have you seen Rafa Márquez? We're here for Rafa Márquez.
Come in.
Chivita.
How are you? Please, take your seats.
So Thank you for coming.
We are all reunited here because we think it's time to do something between the players and the league.
We know it's one of the best-paid leagues.
But it's also the only league in the world, I think, without a player's union.
We're very familiar with, for example, the gentlemen's pact.
We have no voice.
They don't listen to us.
They do whatever they want with us.
And that's without even talking about the 10/8 rule they implemented.
They are taking spots away from Mexicans.
And that's enough.
They treat us like merchandise.
It's time to get together.
They send us to whatever team they want, and they don't even abide by the contract.
It already happened to me.
They didn't fulfill a year of my contract.
It's time to make our own decisions, to get respect.
For sure.
And one of our proposals is that every time someone scores, to lift your T-shirt and show this one, with the hashtag "10/8.
" Yes.
So that people can realize what's going on.
Yes, correct.
And if you notice anything unfair or anything strange, use it.
Use the hashtag on Twitter.
Also, those of us who are on the national team, the idea is to avoid playing with them until we can get a fair deal with the directors.
-May I? -Yes, of course.
I agree with almost everything said here.
I think it's a good initiative.
But the truth, Rafa, I must say, is that we aren't in the same circumstances.
You are untouchable.
You are beyond good and evil.
And I'm not.
I'm just a soccer pawn.
And I've already been banned once, and I couldn't get drafted onto the national team, so, I can't let this opportunity get away, and I can't even lose a month or anything to go play with them.
Understand? So, I'm sorry, but -I'm leaving, dude.
-Right, Moi.
Maybe you're right.
But I'm not at some beach scratching my ass.
I'm here with all of you, trying to find something better for Mexican soccer.
For sure.
I'm with you guys.
Whatever you need.
This is great, but honestly we have to go.
Our flight is about to leave.
We have a friendly game against Aruba.
I'll join the union after the World Cup.
See? Because of this type of people, we can't get anything done.
In the end, we don't reach an agreement.
Well to victory, but later after the World Cup.
Goodbye, assholes! -Sorry.
Excuse me, guys.
-Just go.
Good luck.
So funny Good morning, Isabel.
Good morning, Carmelo.
What the fuck, Chava? Where were you yesterday? Weren't we supposed to text each other to see who got the best deal? I had to go to dinner with this guy, waiting for your text, but you didn't give a shit, dude.
You disappeared, dude.
What the fuck? Are you finished? Yes, I am.
-Where were you? -It's my turn.
Guess what problem I have because of you.
What problem? Remember the photos you sent where I was snorting coke from a whore? -Yes.
-Well, that idiot decided to publish them on his blog.
Yes.
So, I had to leave Gaspar hanging to go to the party to beg them not to stop supporting me.
So, you didn't go to Televisol? That's what you're gonna ask me now? Instead of apologizing? Of course I didn't go to Televisol, dude.
My political career and my reputation went down the shithole.
How did it go with Maxivision? Well, it went okay.
He -He did give us more money.
-Yeah? -How much more money? -Five hundred.
Five hundred what? Five hundred what? Dollars? Five hundred thousand dollars? And you accepted it? That won't even cover the money to paint the field, dude.
Are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday? Of course not.
It's a black suit.
I have thousands of them.
Then you should change, because if I think it's the same one, so will other people.
Chava, the suit I'm wearing is none of your business.
What's your problem, dude? You didn't shower, or what? I don't care about your hygiene, dude.
Go to Televisol and get another deal, because what you got is just a tip.
Okay, but I already kind of accepted with Maxivision.
What do you mean, "kind of accepted"? Did you accept or not? Well, kind of.
Okay, since you haven't accepted yet, go and get another deal.
Yes.
But I do believe that it's important to maintain Maxivision as allies in the league.
Look Chava, if we have a lot of cash flow, they'll help us with players, things like that.
Televisol is competing with us for the stadium.
Understand? But Maxivision can help us if we have any problems.
-Go with Televisol.
-No-- Okay.
Come on, dude.
So, each time you score, you lift your T-shirt and show this shit.
Number ten? Eighth? No, August 10th.
That's my dog's birthday.
It's hashtag "10/8," dude.
It's a proposal against the new rule that allows foreigners, dude.
Cuau, Cuau.
We are all humans.
That nationality thing is a capitalistic scheme, dude.
Just keep playing.
Besides, they can fire us.
How are they going to fire us if they couldn't even hire us all? Julito.
Zombie.
You are forwards, dude, come on.
Okay, yes, sounds great, Cuau, but no.
I can't risk what I have now.
But good luck in your endeavors, dude.
It'll be great, you'll see.
And you? What? Don't even look at me.
If my dad learns I'm fucking up his career as a sports announcer I'm doomed, dude.
But good luck.
If you want, I'll wear it.
Pepe I'm sorry, but you are a goalie.
You don't score.
-Cuau? -What, dude? Can I keep the T-shirt anyway? Hey, what an honor to be here.
This is Live With Paty Villa, and of course, I'm Paty Villa.
And today we have an amazing guest.
He is the candidate for governor of Nuevo Toledo and the owner of the Cuervos.
Please give a warm welcome to Chava Iglesias.
Our Father who art in heaven Hi, Chava, thank you for coming.
Thank you.
I'm very happy to be on your show.
I've been through-- Okay, very well, our other guest is the journalist who published this story.
Please give another warm welcome to José Luis Lavalle.
-Hi, Paty.
-Hi, José Luis.
-How are you? -Good.
I'm so glad to have you here.
Welcome.
I'm very happy to be here on your show, Paty.
-Thank you.
-Please, tell us: What's going on with those pictures? How did you get them? And why did you only publish them now? Those pictures came to me via an anonymous e-mail.
When we tried to publish them, Salvador came to my office with his bodyguard, they broke my nose, her sister talked to my boss, and they canceled my story.
Those are very strong declarations.
WHAT IS GOING ON? TURN IT AROUND.
Chava, please tell us: Is it true that you and your sister tried to censor the media? What can you tell us, Chava? Well It's true.
What he's saying is true.
But he's talking about the old Chava.
Yes, I hit him.
But I hit him because I was terrified, Paty.
I didn't know what to do.
I was very afraid that people would think of me as an irresponsible rich kid, just as I was taking control of my father's team.
The last thing I wanted was to destroy his legacy.
And I know that is no excuse.
But I'd like you to know that, ironically, by trying to quash that issue at that time, I made it worse.
Life has made me pay it back twice, with public humiliation and public failure, as well.
During my time in exile, I realized all the damage that I had caused to others due to my selfishness.
And today I'm here to To accept that I have deep shame within me.
And that shame is because of you, José Luis.
You deserved the best of me, but I let you down.
So, please hit me.
Hit him.
-No.
-That's what he's asking for.
I'm asking you, I'm begging you, José Luis, to hit me, in your name and in the name of everyone who deserves better politicians.
Hit me and even the scale.
No, no.
I won't hit you.
Then, please, forgive me.
Forgive me, José Luis, because I don't want my failures to define my life.
Good job, Chava! Because isn't the way to success paved with failure, ladies and gentlemen? Definitely.
I'd like to know what kind of leader you would prefer, a leader who falls and stays down? To get up.
Exactly, ma'am.
Or a leader who fell on the ground but gets up, over and over again.
Yes, the one who stands up again, of course.
I'd like you to know-- Which one is my camera? I'd like you to know that I want a second chance.
What I'm trying to say is that if I still have a little power over Nuevo Toledo I want to use it for the people, José Luis, not for myself.
Come on, get up.
Good afternoon.
I'VE SEEN STUPIDITY AND ART.
CONGRATULATIONS, HE'S STILL A CANDIDATE.
Wonderful words, but don't go away.
We'll return after the break.
What the hell was that? I just rehabilitated your public image.
What are you doing later? I have a dinner with my producer.
Oh, I see.
I guess we both never have good timing.
You let me go.
Now it's your turn to wait.
To answer your brother's question, yes, we need teams, and yes, your team gives us ratings.
But I won't start a price war with Maxivision.
So, 3.
5 million dollars a season.
Three-point-five million dollars.
It's our final offer.
Four.
That's what Maxivision paid before you left, right? -Yes.
-Four-point-five.
Final offer, and we sign now.
Done.
Well -Thank you very much.
-Thank you.
-Can we talk? -Hello.
How are you? How are you? I thought when you said, "Can we talk," you meant -to "talk.
" -Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, I want to "talk.
" Yes, yes.
But before that, I need to speak with you.
Okay, well turns out that Chava, the day we were talking, on my way to talk with you Chava had gone to talk to Televisol and he had already signed a deal with Televisol, with them, without asking me.
-What? -Yes.
Yes, I said the same thing.
How could he go without asking me? But I knew it would happen with two presidents.
We both want to rule, and these things happen.
I don't want you to think I was lying to you.
But when Chava came, he said, "I was offered $4.
5 million," and I said, "I don't care.
We already have a deal with Maxivision.
" He asked, "How much did they offer?" When I told him, he said no, Televisol.
But I told him, "Give me a chance to talk to him," to tell you everything and make another deal -and maybe match the deal.
-What? Well, maybe not match, but if you give us four, with four, I can convince Chava to accept Maxivision.
Are you using our relationship to obtain a better deal? -What? No.
No, no.
-Yes, yes.
You are using me.
-I thought you liked me for real.
-No, of course I liked you.
I mean, I like you for real.
I like you.
In present tense.
I was not using you.
-I came as a friend.
-You seduced me.
And now you're taking advantage of my vulnerability to get more money.
No, no, no, that's not the case.
Please don't think that way.
Besides, you seduced me.
No, not at all.
I thought you and I had something special, an intellectual connection.
And we did.
And it was beautiful.
We did.
It was beautiful.
I mean, we have it.
That's why I'm here, as a friend, to ask for your help with this.
It's nothing, and then we can continue our thing.
To you, I'm nothing but an executive with a checkbook.
No, please, don't think that.
-Javier.
-Leave now, please.
Fine.
So, we aren't going to? I guess not.
What's up? How did it go? Maxivision hates us now.
I don't know how that'll affect us in the league, but at least we have the deal with Televisol.
-Okay.
-Hold on, Chava.
Mr.
Gaspar is calling me.
-Okay.
-I'll call you back.
Hello, Mr.
Gaspar.
How are you? I just spoke with Maldonado, and he told me what you did.
What did Mr.
Maldonado say I did? Did you make a deal with me to go to Maxivision and make a better deal? Oh, yes, yes.
-That.
But no-- -I don't know how you run your business -But-- But-- -but that's not how we behave.
Yes, of course, but no-- So, I'm very sorry, but I cannot work with you.
But, Mr.
Gaspar, I already had a deal with you.
Goodbye, Isabel.
Yes? -I'll tell you tomorrow, okay? -Okay, then.
WHATSAPP BAD, BAD GOVERNOR WHO IS THIS? YOUR FAVORITE DOGGY IT'S TIME TO PUT YOU ON A LEASH WATCH OUT, BECAUSE I BITE AND I PUNISH Hey, you know what? Go back in an Uber.
I'll take the SUV, because I have a date.
Thank you.
Are we going to a party, sir? Get out of the car, dude.
Yes, sir.
No problem.
Take care.
Have a good time.
