CORAZONADA LOTTERY 459

We all die one day.

Some of us sooner than others.

Don't look at me like that.

Your fate would be the same without me.

Mr. Iván!

Mr. Iván!

Mr. Iván!

Mr. Iván!

-Mr. Iván. -Mr. Iván, wait!

-Mr. Iván. -Tell him!

Mr. Rufino, it's a pleasure.

I'm from the Mexican National Lottery for Public Assistance

and Mr. Tadeo Gutiérrez,

this area's salesperson,

told us the winning number was sold here,

number 459 of Corazonada Classic.

You don't have to eat Manuelito, you're a millionaire!

Thank goodness we found you. We just need your ticket,

and we'll take your picture with the prize.

My ticket!

Wait, Mr. Iván!

Sir, what are you doing?

I burned my ticket.

Noted.

Want coffee? Ernestina, pour my son some coffee.

No, I'm leaving. I want to get there early.

Monarcas or Pumas?

-Monarcas! -God...

-Are you sure? -Yes, they always lose there.

Monarcas then.

Two slips again? That doesn't work.

Yes, it does.

Hey, babe. The boss called an urgent meeting.

Viviana, it's Jairo. Should I pick up?

-Some kind of problem. -Coming!

Hurry up, beautiful.

-He hung up. -What'd he say?

I don't know, he got the machine.

Thanks.

Your showers take forever, Vivi.

-Remember to buy the tickets. -I will.

CORAZONADA LOTTERY RESULTS

Okay, filming Drawing 2518...

in six... five... four...

three... two...

Welcome to Lottery 2518 of Corazonada Classic,

Corazonada Second Chance, and Corazonada Plus.

THE LOTTERY THE MEXICAN DREAM

BASED ON REAL-LIFE EVENTS

I know I had the kids today, but I'm not proving anything,

we've been called in urgently.

Haven't you heard? My boss got fired.

Gonzalo?

They might designate his replacement today.

That'd be great.

-Anyway, I'm sorry. -How do you feel?

A little nervous... It's about time.

But I shouldn't get my hopes up.

I'll call you later to talk about the trip.

Marco, the tickets are really important.

-Please, call me. And good luck. -Thanks.

Any message to Mexicans this holiday season?

I encourage them to participate, to dream...

"I hope they don't lose their jobs like me".

What a fucking idiot.

I wonder which of us gets his job.

That reporter is cute.

-Good morning, Javier, Marcos. -Marco.

Excuse the wait.

Yesterday and today have been awful

with my boss leaving.

The board asked you to come in today,

but they won't be able to make it.

Shucks. Don't worry, Sandrita. What do you need?

To tell you who the new director is.

Here I have the legal papers with the appointment

which you need to sign if you accept...

Javier.

-I'll read them. -Please do.

Okay. "December 12, 2011, Mexico City.

In full force and effect, due to the removal

from management of Mr. Luís David Quijas,

Javier del Rivero is appointed

as the new..."

IF YOU DON'T CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE VIEW

What's up the chief's butt?

Some problem with a tape.

But after this, I'll take you out.

I have a boyfriend.

-I'm so over you asking. -I'm just putting up a fight.

When can we meet the lucky guy?

Okay "fighter", just walk.

Are you watching?

The winning numbers of...

The video skips.

The Governance Office sent it back,

saying we sent in a flawed tape.

Are you watching?

You have to press rewind.

-I know. -Help him.

-Are you watching? -Yes!

This is a big fucking problem.

We might lose the account over this bullshit.

Rewind it until you find the shot.

...winning numbers of Corazonada Second Chance...

-Got it? -There!

Did you rewind it?

We will lose the account over that goddamn skip.

Are you there? Say something!

-Hello! God dammit! -Chief, we have to look into it.

The show wasn't live that day,

we were asked to pre-record it half an hour beforehand.

Maybe it was a bad copy.

-Do you have ours? -This is a mess.

How are you going to fix it? If those guys blame us,

who do you...

-Who threw something? -Calm down.

-Was it Jairo? -Is this the original?

It was him.

Chief, if the original is fine, we can prove it's not our fault.

But it is your fault.

One person's mistake is everyone's mistake.

We'll fix this, it'll be okay.

I know the director of Apuesta-Gol.

I'll invite him to dinner

and we'll see who can set this right.

Do what you have to, just don't make things worse.

There we go. Nice and straight, Mr. Alex.

-What's up, Marks? -How are you, Javier?

I'm putting out fires with everything that's going on.

By the way, I wanted to ask you...

No hard feelings about my appointment, right?

No way. I'm really glad.

Yeah, it's a... really good decision.

Thanks, Marquitos.

I needed to ask you to oversee

the Christmas and New Year's lotteries.

Christmas? No, I can't because of

my trip with Estela and the kids and I already asked off.

Didn't you two break up?

I told you that in private.

According to your contract,

overseeing drawings is part of your job.

-Leave it in my office. -Super Vic!

Hey, Javo. What is up?

-You've already decorated. -I'm settling in.

-Welcome. -Thanks.

Hey, Saint Marcos here is going to cover

the Christmas and New Year's drawings.

Okay, awesome. Where are you going, Javo?

To a golf tournament in Los Cabos.

It's a charity thing, it's super cool.

We go...

Markiuks.

I also need you to find whoever's responsible

for this famous defective tape.

Yeah, sure.

That'll be all, then.

Hey, Marcos! Where are you headed?

-To get a taxi. -Come on, I'll take you.

You're going to get soaked. Get in.

Come on, go around!

Son of a...

-Get in. -It came down all of a sudden.

God damn, just look at it!

-Marco. -Huh?

It's Marco, not Marcos.

-I'm sorry. Marco, Marco. -I'm used to it.

-Where's your car? -Towed.

Hey, Marco, what a coincidence.

Chava called me, you know him?

From Just Shoot.

Yeah, I see him when I do drawings.

He called me yesterday.

-What's he want? -Just to take us out for drinks.

I don't want to go against Javier,

and I don't know how things are between bosses and vendors.

They want to fix this quickly,

they're worried about losing the account.

It's a huge account, to say the least.

We ought to hear them out.

-It helps in politics later on. -Politics.

Obviously, Javier will make them a deal.

There are some taxis. I'll get out here.

-Perfect. -Hey, thanks.

Take care. Think about it!

Hello?

You said you'd call, and you didn't.

I needed you to get the kids

so I could buy stuff for the trip.

I told you I had meetings all day.

Plus, my car was towed.

No, you said there was an "emergency" with Javier.

Estela, don't make air quotes,

there was an emergency. Plus, Javier called...

I don't care.

I'm sick of guessing whether you'll be here...

-Honey, why does every call... -Mommy, I want to talk to him.

Daddy, tomorrow we're writing Santa.

Okay, love. I was talking to Mommy, can...

And the Wise Men.

Daddy, aren't you coming to Cancun with us?

My brother said you aren't, but I don't believe him.

Yeah. Give the phone to Mom. I need to...

-Mum. -Thanks.

Okay, look.

When my parents invited you to Cancun,

I thought it would be a chance to...

But I think you'd better not come.

-Daddy isn't coming? -Why not?

I...

I need you to buy the plane tickets.

If it's too much to ask, my dad will buy them.

No, we already agreed I'd buy them.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

-See... -Please, Marco.

-Victor Buendia, yours truly. -So how about that drink?

Hey, wasn't your car towed?

I stole it.

Thanks, good evening. I was waiting for him.

-We've already got tickets. -What tickets?

Yep, all set. We just have to get...

Lupita, thanks.

-Are we eating here? -Yeah.

Their food is freaking fantastic.

Their salmon couscous is incredible.

Come on.

You said we were going to have dinner, not to...

My wife would never let me go somewhere like this

if it weren't for work.

Not even if Demi Moore worked here

and personally called me over.

No, no, no way.

Also, it's a five-star restaurant

with tons of options. It's fine, come on.

Didn't you say you were divorced?

-Victorio Pavarotti! -What's up!

-How are you? -Let me introduce you.

Salvador Romo, Just Shoot floor manager and producer.

You know each other, right?

-Yeah. How are you? -Good.

This is Jairo, cameraman and editor.

Luque!

-Luque! -What?

Luque weighs the balls and is in charge of camera B.

We met in the studio.

What's up?

Fantastic.

What is this?

Let's just relax and drink, gentlemen.

Come on, wait, Jairo. At least let them order.

What's that?

This is the tape that was sent back to us

because it had "problems".

A skip.

We think they recorded over an old tape

and thought it was us.

The tape isn't the problem.

This is the original recording we sent in.

This proves it wasn't our fault.

You're not getting it.

We know the tape isn't the problem,

Fraud Prevention didn't report anything.

We'll order an appraisal, and if the bad tape

is the Governance one, you have nothing to worry about.

We have something for you.

This is from our boss.

He asked Viviana to deliver it personally.

Hi.

She's the host of Corazonada. What's up, Vivianita?

To what do we owe the pleasure?

Viviana accidentally dropped the tape

and she came to apologize.

You're taking the blame?

What scoundrels. Don't be like this.

Viviana.

-I brought you something. -A VHS now?

How many tapes do you have?

This isn't Blockbuster.

This is the most important one.

Come on.

What the hell, Chava?

I didn't bring Marco here for this.

This is just to fix this, we don't want any trouble.

It was Viviana's idea.

I have to take this.

Excuse me.

That guy is more honest than the pope.

Couldn't you have put something sexier on?

Couldn't you have put deodorant on?

-Do you have a cigarette? -Yeah.

It's a work dinner.

No, I already told you,

you'll have it in your email first thing tomorrow.

Yes.

Okay.

Everything okay?

Yeah, family stuff.

Nothing money can't fix.

How long have you been together?

Since high school.

I've known mine since elementary.

We reconnected later, but...

Well, don't get married.

Want some?

No... Thanks.

Hey...

They just want help. They're scared of getting fired,

-but they're good people. -It's okay.

I'm just not who they're looking for.

Marky, here's your Bacardi on the rocks.

I have to go home.

-I just came... -No, no.

Hey, man, wait!

Capi!

Marco!

-Cheers. -Cheers!

-What's in the couscous? -I don't know.

I can't eat some things

because I'm going to have prostate surgery soon.

Seriously, Daniela, when are you girls coming over?

When we see you're the one paying the check.

And that you have enough for us both.

You want to see what I have enough of?

Show some respect. Who brought this scumbag?

-He followed us. -Hey, I'm sorry.

IF YOU DON'T CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE VIEW

Hey, Marquito. Janette will ignore you.

How long have you been working at Corazonada?

Five years.

What's your position?

-Assistant director. -Is it hard?

The hardest part is detecting and preventing fraud

because if you make a mistake, you get fired.

-What about yours? -Is it hard?

I just can't mess up the balls.

What is hard is putting up with these...

dudes.

I deserve more money.

Is it hard to get into the government?

My dad worked for the Lottery his whole life

and he helped me out.

The good old days when you could inherit a job.

Well it wasn't that easy.

Hey, Marco...

Since you know all about... this fraud stuff...

Is there any way to win the Corazonada

that's not... just luck?

I've been asked that so many times.

Well?

No, there's no way.

No matter how crazy, reckless, or stupid the method,

in Fraud Detection and Prevention,

we're experts in not letting it happen.

-Cheers. -Cheers, everyone.

Cheers!

Hey, Marco, Marco. Now that we're...

like... buddies...

Is there really no way to win the Corazonada?

Well, yeah. Sure.

With lots and lots of luck.

The chances are one in 32,468,000...

-"One in..." -But, what about...

the governor of Veracruz?

What about him?

335, 669! Grand prize, grand prize!

Hell freaking yes!

Anyone can win.

Yeah but twice?

Yes, twice.

Hell freaking yes!

Well aren't governors lucky.

Lucky or not, I'm going to...

No, not yet.

See you later. Have fun.

-Oh, man. -Want a ride?

-I can take a taxi. -No, I'll drive you.

Are you good to drive?

Yeah, straight to the drunk tank.

Bad ass.

The night ended. The time...

Hello, love. I'm on my way. Yes, I can make it.

I'll go by the hospital. I love you. See you soon.

-Everything okay? -Yeah.

I have to go pick up some medication for my son.

The medication is freaking expensive.

-You have a son? -Yeah.

-A 15-year-old brat. -But...

Are you married or divorced?

I'm happily divorced and happily married to the same woman.

What does that mean? I don't get it.

Yeah, me neither.

I told you, the Pumas never win at Morelia.

Either way I don't lose.

Remember the expert move...

betting on and against them.

It sucks betting against my Pumas...

I know, you've never seen such a good-looking Puma

with a Hugo Sánchez hairdo.

Víctor Ángel Buendia, nice to meet you.

Give me a hand, Marco.

I smell Bacardi.

Shush. Bacardi? I smell fresh lettuce.

These animals' intelligence is truly amazing.

Sometimes it seems like it knows what we're thinking.

What's up, Marco?

I was thinking about something I want to tell you.

Later, man. Half an hour until the drawing.

Let's go.

Mr. Marco.

-How are you? -Good. Your badge, please.

Perfect.

The inspector hasn't arrived?

No, not yet. Sign here, please.

-Here. -You opened the studio at 6:10.

No, at 6 o'clock, like always,

but the last boss let me go get coffee.

The machine doesn't work.

Mr. Marco,

excuse me for asking, but...

in our humble house,

we've played the Corazonada every Sunday

since I can remember.

And my dad has been badgering me to ask a boss like you

-if... -If what?

If there's a trick.

He's played the Corazonada his whole life and never won,

he doesn't know anyone who's played and won.

-Maurilio, I understand... -Marquito!

-Ms. Genoveva, what a surprise. -Yes, it is.

I don't love coming on Wednesdays,

but Lalito is having family problems.

So here I'll be some Wednesdays and Sundays.

-You're always welcome. Come in. -Thank you.

Would you sign in please, ma'am?

-Yes, of course. -Here.

Okay.

-Hello, Ms. Genoveva. -How are you?

Would you sign the weights?

Of course.

Luque, set up the numbers camera.

How are you, Marco? What'd you think of the food?

And the girls?

Come on, Luque. Hurry up!

-I need someone to zip me up. -Of course.

Get away from me. Can you help me, Luque?

Sure, Vivi.

Luque, camera B on Ms. Geno!

-I'm coming! -Thanks, all done.

Ms. Genoveva, in your place.

-Jairo! -Yeah?

Which diaphragm?

Use the automatic, dick.

Suck it, man.

-Get ready everybody! -Ms. Geno, please.

The camera's running.

We're live in five...

four...

three... two...

Marcos.

Yes.

Sandrita doesn't know anything about golf.

Marky Mark! Come in. Hey...

Do you eat everything? Cod, "romeritos", everything?

Yeah, everything.

But... in strict confidence.

Shoot. Scout's Honor. What's up?

CORAZONADA SECOND CHANCE PLUS

At 6:00, Maurilio opens up

then leaves for ten minutes to get coffee

because the machine's broken.

There's the log Maurilio keeps

on everyone who comes and goes.

The only people with access to the studio

are you and I during the week

and the film crew on drawing days.

So there's a way to film a drawing...

while Maurilio isn't here...

and add it to the live drawing.

Sorry. I didn't know you were here.

We're wrapping up the revision, we're about to leave.

I'm here if you need anything.

If this works...

-Bye! -Bye, Mr. Marco.

Happy New Year, merry Christmas, have fun.

Your presents will be here waiting for you.

Hurry, kids. Let's go.

What's going on, Marco?

What do you mean?

Something's up. I know you.

You're making your guilty face.

I care about you.

If you're going out with someone...

-What? No. -I would understand.

That's not it. It's something else.

Everything is fine.

You don't have to work harder to give us more.

What we need more of is you.

Hey, do you think I could spend the night

at home tonight?

So I can water the plants and stuff.

Sure.

-Bye. -See you later.

Marky Mark, I talked to them. The plan is on.

SIX DAYS BEFORE THE DRAWING

Hey boss, the inspector hasn't arrived.

-What should we do? -Well...

I'll have her sign it when she arrives.

-Yeah? -Sure.

Come on, Luquito, hurry up.

Where's the inspector?

Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

Some jerk blocked my door, and I could barely get out.

I was already talking to Inspector Genoveva.

-Good evening, guys. -Good evening.

These are the weights of the balls.

Okay, filming the drawing!

Going live in... six...

five... four...

three... two...

Welcome to Lottery 2236 of Corazonada Classic,

Corazonada Second Chance, and Corazonada Plus.

It's 8:01, December 25, 2011,

and tonight's prize money is worth 98 million pesos.

To certify the legality of this drawing,

we have Mr. José Eduardo Rodríguez Nuño,

an inspector from the Governance Office.

The winning numbers of the Corazonada Classic are:

17, 46, 40...

Hello?

Marquitos. How's everything going?

The winners of...

-Everything's in order. -Great.

I left some bubbly with Sandrita so you can toast on my behalf.

Thanks.

Everything's going smoothly. Enjoy your trip.

Was that Javier?

Yeah, I said we have it under control.

Well, let's keep it that way.

What, then?

Is everybody in, 100%?

Chava is in.

Viviana said okay.

We already knew Jairo and Luque were in.

So... all in.

Merry Christmas and remember:

those who seek luck, find it in the Corazonada.

Good night.

Roll the credits.

Cut!

Víctor! I wasn't expecting you here,

there's no Apuesta-Gol today.

No, I wasn't either. But...

I was around and decided to say hi...

And to give you your present.

Thank you so much.

Guys! Thank you, happy New Year.

May 2012 be full of blessings

and may God give us lots of work.

-Have a great Christmas. -Good night.

-What can we do about him? -Cross our fingers.

From Javier del Rivero,

Corazonada's director, Merry Christmas.

It's been a hard year,

but if we achieve the goal we've set,

next year will be much better

because what we're going to achieve

is only achieved...

by those who dare.

And... let's not forget, we're doing it for the people we love.

That's the most important thing.

Don't worry, Marco. Everything will be fine.

Get some rest, celebrate with your families.

The prize money for the first drawing of the year...

is 150 million pesos.

So Merry Christmas to all of us!

Merry Christmas.

Cheers. Thank you. Nice to meet you all.

Cheers.

Thank you.

It's almost time for grapes. Three, two, one.

Go, go, go!

Son.

-Are you coming? -Son.

Thanks.

-Everything okay? -Yeah.

Everything will be okay with your family, you'll see.

Especially since you're going to take them to see snow.

That's always magical.

I hope they turn out like yours.

You're so close.

Right. Yeah, I understand.

Yeah.

We named him Ángel...

that kid doesn't walk, he flies.

You must need balls to handle something like that.

Yes and no.

He isn't the first or last to not be able to walk.

What's really screwed up is trying to pay for it.

It's a damn fortune. That's what's screwed up.

If the hospital doesn't provide it,

how much does it cost?

On the black market, just one medication,

80 thousand, for sure.

Freaking people.

-Did I not do it? -No, slow down.

Mr. Marco. It's lovely to have you with us tonight,

but I have something important to ask you.

How do I win the Corazonada?

-Come on, Pepe, don't go there. -It's not a strange question.

No, but...

There is a way.

-Tell them, Víctor. -What?

What are you talking about?

I don't know anything.

If we film the drawing an hour before it's aired,

the host learns that number by heart,

we go buy tickets with the winning number,

and when it's aired live, we add that number

and that's what the host calls out, so...

Marco.

Sorry.

The chances of winning are very, very small.

They're 1 in 32,438,436, so...

No way, Hosay.

Has anyone ever not claimed the prize money?

Come on, man. How could anyone not claim it?

Has that happened? No...

Yeah, they say that in a town about two hours away,

there was a very poor man who won the Corazonada

big time, millions.

But he used the ticket to light a fire

to cook his last dinner.

He ate his dog.

Come on now!

We've all heard that legend.

Marquitos, are you busy?

No, Javier, I went out for a walk.

It's great you exercise.

Look, you're in charge of the drawing tomorrow.

Don't worry, it's in good hands. Have a good time.

Hey, thank you. I'll see you Tuesday then.

Bye.

-How are you? -Good.

-Is everyone here? -Yeah.

Awesome. Hey, look, they're a little nervous.

So I was thinking it would be good

if you and I took opposing sides up there.

To address some of their concerns.

You know, like good cop, bad cop.

Whiskey, anyone?

-We're working, not drinking. -They already brought it.

It's included in the price.

It's free.

Bring it here.

What, with no mixer?

Have you talked to Viviana?

She's not answering.

If she doesn't come, it's off.

We were waiting... No.

Well, she's here.

Hello.

God dammit.

-Now what? -Who is she?

What the hell, Viviana?

This is my sister. I told her everything.

She's going to help me claim the money.

No one was allowed to tell anyone.

Much less involve a family member!

We don't share a last name because...

It's up to the others.

What? What, Luque?

All you do is weigh the balls.

I'm the idiot whose face is on the line.

Well, who's the idiot

who's going to press the red button on the camera?

Come on.

And who'll be on camera handing the check to your sister?

Enough, we're all in this together!

If one us gets screwed, we all do.

Her name is Liliana.

Liliana, your sister already got you up-to-date,

so... welcome.

If we're all already in this, let's do it.

We're all in it, but it's not the same for everyone, Vic.

Come on.

You didn't make that freaking face

when you tried to bribe us to not lose the account.

If there's a problem with the amounts,

to hell with the plan.

Hey, wait Víctor. Don't talk to Chava like that.

My sister had a great idea.

You need to hear this.

If I cash in the ticket, there's no link to Viviana.

I did some research,

and in Zacatecas they withhold fewer taxes on the prize.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

The only thing that has to be clear...

Chava, there's no problem.

No one can claim a freaking cent until Marco and I give the okay.

Whether it's claimed in Zacatecas

or Tejeringo, El Chico, or wherever.

Anything else, Marco?

It's a good idea for people who aren't related to us

to claim the prize.

So that's the first rule: Different last names.

Alright, let's go over it once more.

We're going to arrive one by one.

Viviana, you first at 5:05.

Act normal, like any other day.

Don't do anything strange.

There are four cameras filming every move we make.

They'll check those first if something goes wrong.

Jairo, you get there at 5:20.

Chava, 5:25.

Víctor, 5:30.

Me, at 5:35.

Then, Luque goes to the dressing room

for the air machine.

What about the security guy?

Maurilio goes for a coffee at 6:00.

We only have ten minutes to do everything.

Why not pay him off?

It's best for everyone if no one else gets involved.

Chava?

Jairo, you're going to hide the same model of camera

that we have at the office

in your backpack.

Be careful not to get searched.

The camera will take a close up

of each of the three drawings.

In post-production, Jairo,

you'll make an even bigger close up.

he editing suite is in the dressing room.

For the millionth time, that's not a dressing room.

That's not important right now, Viviana.

Control yourself.

Jairo will prepare the tape with the numbers

which he'll add to the live recording.

What happens if we're discovered?

Absolutely not, Luque! You're drunk, crazy.

No one do anything stupid like that.

If Maurilio or someone comes in, send them my way.

You have ten minutes for the whole thing.

You have the hardest part, Viviana.

You have to memorize all the numbers Jairo records,

then repeat them in perfect synchrony

with the balls coming out.

I got it.

The first one to leave will be Jairo. Go fast.

Get the material and prepare everything.

You only have five minutes.

We're going to have four winning tickets.

The Corazonada Classic grand prize,

which I'll buy,

the Corazonada Second Chance, which Víctor will buy,

and two Corazonada Plus tickets,

which Viviana and Jairo will buy.

We have to rush to the furthest kiosk.

Remember, nobody buys a single ticket more.

And we have to be back by 6:30 because that's when...

Ms. Geno arrives.

Or Mr. Lalo.

The only way this will work

is if it's Ms. Genoveva that day

because she always stays far away from the set...

watching the monitor from up close.

-If it's Mr. Lalo, it's off. -Yeah.

I don't know if the guy likes to stare at Vivianita's legs

or if he just really cares about his job,

but he always squats down and gets close to the balls.

So if that's the case, to hell with it all.

That's the only way we'd be discovered.

Don't even think about it, Luque.

I was just saying I once laid a guy out with a tripod.

In any case...

having statistically analyzed logic,

frequency, and days off,

we're betting on Ms. Geno coming tomorrow.

Why don't you call their office and ask?

It would be too suspicious.

We've never spoken for something like that.

It's going to come down to chance.

Call it what it is...

luck.

Does anybody want to call it off?

To wrap this up...

I want to say that if anyone isn't sure...

close your eyes...

and think, not what you would do,

but what you will do...

when you win the Corazonada.

The year is starting soon.

Everything is going to be okay.

Get some rest.

Tomorrow we're going to need all our energy,

all our concentration.

Tomorrow we're going to prove it can be done!

-Be quiet. -Now what?

Don't make noise. Luque, wait. Don't open it!

God dammit.

Thank you. There is fine.

I ordered Coke and ice for the whiskey.

Come on.

Anybody want some?

-Are you taking my car again? -No, I'm taking a cab.

I hope you're not going out partying again.

Ernestina, serve the food!

LOTTERY RESULTS

1 HOUR, 55 MINUTES UNTIL THE DRAWING

-Your ID, please, miss. -Where's Maurilio?

His truck got held back a little so I'm covering for him.

God, God.

-What's up? -Maurilio didn't come.

Another guard is here.

Calm down. Where are the others?

They're not here yet.

What do we do?

Don't worry.

What happened?

Jairo got here. Where's Luque?

-He's not here? -No.

I'll be right there. Call Luque. He should be there already.

I'll call him, wait.

Fucking Luque.

-Can I make a confession? -Come on.

No, yesterday we stayed up late drinking in the hotel,

and Luque got so messed up he cried.

-What? -Dammit, he's not picking up.

-God dammit. Alright, hurry up. -Turn around.

Nice day, isn't it?

Yeah.

If Luque doesn't get there in one minute, it's off.

If he's not here in one minute, it's off.

What? No, no, no.

Where were you, dammit? Give me that

Hurry up!

-It was his fault. -My fault, you old drunk?

Two, three, four, five...

Hurry up!

-Give me that. -No, wait.

God dammit! You dropped all of them!

-There we go. -Breathe.

-Luque... -There we go.

Give them to me.

Count them...

Thanks for covering.

-Everything okay? -Yeah, everything's great.

I'm going to grab a coffee, you want one?

Who will stay?

I'm allowed to go grab a coffee once everyone's here.

-Alright but you're paying. -Okay, whatever.

Lalo, 15. So both are late.

Either way...

-We have to stay calm. -"Calm".

Something's wrong. They're never both late.

Ms. Geno, I'm so glad to see you!

I'm so sorry.

Mr. Lalo's had a problem.

I tried so hard to get here fast.

How lucky you managed to make it.

What's wrong? What are you doing?

Come here.

-How was your Christmas? -It was quiet...

-What's wrong? -The machine is jammed.

What about you?

What are you planning?

I'm sure you're planning some good trips.

Since you worked all of December...

-Reboot it. -I tried, it's jammed.

Let's get to it then.

-Ms. Geno! -Yes?

-Would you sign the weights? -Of course.

What's happening? What's wrong?

-Thanks. -Thank you.

What's going on?

We have a technical problem, Vic.

I don't know what's happening.

What's going on, Chava?

Mr. Chava?

Why is there a ball in the tube?

What's going on?

I saw something weird on set.

There's a ball...

A ball, Ms. Geno?

Yes, a ball.

I think it's something else.

Ms. Genoveva, stop! Wait!

There we go.

Wait, stop!

Don't walk without your glasses, you'll trip.

There are cables, things, iron things.

How silly of me, not wearing my glasses.

It's okay, I'll take you to your spot,

we'll get started.

Yes, sir.

Good night.

Cut!

Just look at your faces. Don't wait for me. Go rest.

Absolutely not, Ms. Geno. We're...

-Go ahead. -No, I'll walk you.

The guys still have to put stuff away

and we have to go to the office and write reports.

You are so sweet. Always such a gentleman.

There's no reason to hurry.

It's all good. Do you have your things?

-Yes, sir. -I'll walk you.

Thank you. Goodbye, take care.

We appreciate you making an effort to arrive.

-Thank you, Ms. Genoveva. -Thank you.

Happy Epiphany. Take care, good night.

Happy Epiphany.

I imagine you're very happy because today is Sunday.

It's been a long day and...

we're going to go rest.

You feel like celebrating. But... let's be discreet.

There will be time for that.

Most importantly, no one does anything...

without my and Víctor's approval.

DRAWING 2518

You're coming back tomorrow.

I can't wait to see you.

Don't let them hear you.

THREE DAYS AFTER THE DRAWING

No, it's not marlin season yet,

but I'll swap with you.

My buddy is planning a snorkeling trip with the boys.

Four days...

Excuse me, sir. You have a call.

Well, it's in dollars, but you can transfer it.

It'll be at 13 bucks a while, don't be cheap...

It's urgent. It's Fraud Prevention.

-Wait. Have Marcos take it. -He's off for a few days,

and following protocol, only you can authorize it.

I'll call you back, man. Bye.

Hello?

Good afternoon, sir.

I'm calling from the Zacatecas branch of Army Bank.

There's someone here who's come to claim the Corazonada prize.

I'm going to put the Lottery agent on.

Thanks. Hello?

Yes, sir, everything's fine.

We found out from the questionnaire we give

that the ticket was bought in Mexico City.

And protocol dictates we verify it.

For how much?

15 million from Corazonada Plus.

The person who's here to collect it

says she has a family emergency.

-Find Marco. -Yes, sir.

Italy doesn't just have pizza,

it's also got beautiful places to visit,

and... from there we're going to Switzerland.

Just don't tell Mom, it's a surprise.

-Mom is coming? -We'll ask her.

I'd like to go to Cancun again.

I want to go to Cuernavaca.

Dad, are there cows in Cuernavaca?

Hello?

I know we said we'd claim it Zacatecas,

but orders were freaking clear!

Nobody could claim anything without our permission.

Did you hear that? God dammit.

Don't be like that, Marco.

All the stress made Luque much sicker.

It was an emergency.

Plus, there's no link to the person who claimed it.

No, but...

I don't care about your emergency!

They're going to open an investigation

and freeze the prize!

Nobody cashes in until we say you do.

It's already been three days.

It'll be more suspicious if nobody claims it.

Suspicious is someone from the city

claiming it in Zacatecas again in less than a week.

-Who are they? -Víctor didn't tell you?

They're filling in for Jairo, Luque and Chava.

Miss, can you stand there? Diego wants to see your light.

-Yeah. -If you don't mind.

-Up here, please. -Sure, I'm coming.

What's going on?

They disappeared. Víctor gave them permission.

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Hello?

-Where were you today? -Marky Mounts! What's up?

I didn't tell you,

but a problem came up at home that I have to sort out.

Hang up, Víctor.

Why didn't you tell me production was sending new guys?

Luque got really sick.

-They had to take him... -Hang up.

to Houston to have surgery.

If I try to hunt them down, it might just get worse.

Why don't you come here tomorrow and...

we can talk it over at my house.

They're going to claim the prize and ruin everything!

We shouldn't talk about it on here.

You'd better come over tomorrow

and we can chat here at home.

Marcos, we have to file a legal report.

There are inconsistencies with this prize.

But I already reviewed it and didn't see any problems.

Another prize was claimed.

What?

I have to call the capital. It's just protocol.

Again, Mexico City IDs. I wasn't given more details.

I'M AT THE BANK

-What should we do? -"What should we do?"

Now you ask me,

after giving out access to the studio

and not mentioning it to me.

And those jerks go to Houston, and you don't blink an eye.

We agreed to follow the steps,

that no one would contact anybody,

the dates we can claim the prizes...

-We can't claim the prizes. -Viviana already did.

Yeah, and they're monitoring it.

In any case, no checks have been deposited.

I made it very clear that until they got green light,

they couldn't do anything, so we can relax.

And there's no link

to the person who's going to claim it.

One screw-up and it all goes to hell.

We have to find Chava, Jairo, and Luque.

If we don't claim the checks soon,

they're going to freeze them.

Maybe the best move would be to cash in the prize,

go into hiding, split it up, bury it, I don't know.

It's a coin toss, honestly.

We're not claiming the prizes.

It's not a request, it's an order!

Well damn.

Since when are you the boss?

You're in my house.

Don't forget I'm still...

your superior.

There are hierarchies. Are you kidding me?

Marco, wait! God damn...

You know what? We're all tense.

Look, to let things cool down,

I'm taking time off and going to Querétaro with my son.

Teletón Hospital can get us in for rehabilitation!

It's fantastic!

Querétaro, on the way to Zacatecas?

Think what you want.

Seriously?

Hello?

Hi. I know you're busy,

but I need to tell you something.

What's up?

The kids want you to come back home and honestly...

so do I.

I couldn't wish for anything better.

-Really? Should I wait up? -Yes, please.

See you soon.

Bye.

You're an idiot! You're crazy, Marco!

Do you know what will happen?

How much is the prize?

That one's worth 100 million.

What are you doing?

What? Are you going to claim it?

Really? You go and claim this ticket...

and you're gone, as if you were dead.

Or you face it and you fix it.

"When life gives you lemons..."

Sorry. I heard yelling and thought you were calling me.

Viviana, get as far away from here as you can, now!

Víctor said things are about to get ugly.

Good afternoon. Welcome.

We're going to read the statement.

Please, save your questions for the end.

The mess we're in.

And whose head will roll first? Mine!

We're going to lose our jobs if you don't fix this, Marcos!

Marco.

-What? -My name is Marco, god dammit.

Is it that hard to learn a name!

Excuse me?

Give me 24 hours, I'll fix it.

Has Víctor been found?

Via a questionnaire which protocol dictates we give,

we detected inconsistencies that unfortunately indicate

state employees took part in this...

curious event in which the drawing was recorded

a couple hours before it was aired.

We can also observe variations

in the host's hand movements

between the recorded drawing and the live event.

The Mexican Lottery has been scammed

for an unprecedented 150 million pesos.

The suspects,

who are officials of the institution,

are being investigated.

Here we can see the moments prior to the drawing

in which the suspects leave the premises

to buy the tickets.

Here's the ticket.

But thanks to the timely involvement

of bank and local Lottery authorities,

we discovered the prizes were being claimed

in the city of Zacatecas,

a state where less taxes are withheld,

It was the second consecutive prize claimed in the city.

The official tried to run from justice.

But when he lost control of his car...

Wait.

he was apprehended.

Calm down, calm down.

Run, run!

This person, Viviana N...

Don't make a move, blondie.

...was apprehended thanks to the collaboration

and intelligence

of the Mexican Lottery and Fraud Prevention.

Blondie is right, Chief.

Where did you get this?

Both her and her partner, Liliana López,

were arrested while trying to flee to Cuba.

Thanks to the cooperation of protected witnesses,

three more people who were involved were detained.

We'll give you the details later.

They were detected claiming the prize in a border city.

They were on their way to cross the border,

with one of them in poor health.

They were detected claiming the prize in a border city.

Another suspect is Mr. Marco Mario Montes Espinoza,

Corazonada's former assistant director's father.

He was apprehended

when he tried to claim the largest prize

through Ernestina Flóres Gómez,

his housekeeper,

who, luckily,

has been absolved of this deplorable event.

Let me go!

All of the prizes were claimed by relatives of civil servants

and people involved in producing the drawing.

They failed me.

But even worse, they failed you.

They failed Mexico...

they failed every Mexican.

Now, are there are any questions?

How much did they collect?

So far, 80 million have been claimed,

but the accounts of all those involved have been frozen.

Thanks to that, these white-collar criminals

didn't even have time to celebrate.

15 million were claimed legally

in the Corazonada Second Chance drawing

in Tlajutal.

Tell your dad it's my job to prevent any tricks,

but if I figure one out, I'll let you know.

-Good luck. -Thanks.

Remember, nobody buys a single ticket more.

-Give me another one. -Okay.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Where is Mr. Marco Mario Montes?

Unfortunately the mastermind is still at large.

But we're working with the attorney general

to collect information

and find him.

Let's not fool ourselves...

How many winning tickets do you have left?

Does this make us square?

We're square, Marco.

Now vanish. I can't cover for you anymore.

But the attorney general is doing an excellent job,

so we're sure to quickly find this criminal.

Thanks for attending, we'll keep you updated on...

THREE YEARS LATER

TREASURE GAMES

METAL DETECTORS CATALOGUE

MARCOS MARIO MONTES WAS THE LAST SUSPECT TO BE ARRESTED

HE WAS FOUND THREE YEARS AFTER THE CORAZONADA SCAM

WITH THE HELP OF AN ANONYMOUS WITNESS

EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE SCAM IS CURRENTLY FREE

SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RECORDS IN MEXICO,

THE CORAZONADA SCAM WAS DEEMED A MISDEMEANOR

IF YOU DON'T CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE VIEW

Can I say something to the camera?

Sure.

In case any authorities watches this...

you ought to investigate thoroughly

everyone who's won the Corazonada

and other drawings.

My dad says they weren't the first...

or the last.

As long as Mexicans believe in "luck"...

there will always be somebody who'll do anything to win.

Thanks.
