La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 17 - Corre Sofía, corre - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

PREVIOUSLY...

What's wrong with you?

No, no, forgive me! Forgive me!

Good morning, Mrs. Cayetana.

You're a damned criminal
just like those piece of shit gypsies

that have taken over my home,
which you're surely behind.

Well, I can help you
with that problem.

This isn't your fight.

Either you fuck us or we fuck you.

It's best you vacate
the premises immediately.



For your own good.

What I need is for you to stop hunting me.

Not for me
but for my daughter, Sofia.

Your granddaughter.

Sofia!

Don't run!

What the hell are you talking about?
What is this?

A DNA test.
The results are undeniable.

My daughter, Sofia,
is your granddaughter, too.

She's your blood.

Sofia.

How's my favorite girl?

You didn't put turmeric in it,
did you?

Get me in touch with the Galician



now that I have the coordinates.

You got it.

Okay.

- Yes?
- I've got the coordinates.

It'll be tomorrow at 8 AM,
Spanish time.

It'll be inside the pineapples
like we agreed.

Fantastic, Zurdo.

I'll send my men
because I'm not in Galicia.

I had an emergency and had to leave.

Shit, it must be pretty serious

for you to skip a delivery.

Yes, it is.

I'll return to Galicia
once I've taken care of it.

You'll have your merchandise
tomorrow, Zurdo.

All right.

Fax that.

Cheers.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

MALAGA, SPAIN

DNA TEST REPORT

I have three granddaughters.

Yes, Charo?

Ma'am, the doctor is here.
Shall I send him up?

Uh...

no.

He'll think I'm half dead
if he sees me like this.

Let me...

get changed.

All your clothes are gone, ma'am.

That's right.

I have some clothes you gave me
last month for my sister.

Yes.

I'll bring them to you right away.

I can't believe it.

Everybody was there,
surrounding his body.

They put Juanito's coffin
in the middle of the bullring.

I can't imagine
my grandmother's reaction.

No, she'd been confined
to her room.

I had to sneak in through
the window like you showed me.

That's when I found out
about everything.

I had to do a whole performance
to avoid more bloodshed,

and then make a deal with the gypsies
so they'd leave of their own volition

without anyone else dying.

How's Charo?

Charo's very well.

It's your grandmother
who doesn't look good.

The poor thing must really be suffering,

and it's all my fault.

Nobody's to blame.

That's life for you.
End of story.

You two know what I think
of your grandmother,

but I think you should
come say goodbye to her.

- She doesn't want to see me.
- That doesn't matter.

Go say goodbye to her.

You don't know if you'll ever
get to see her again.

CONTROVERSIAL REVELATIONS
ABOUT EPIFANIO VARGAS

Lancaster's really going all out, huh?

Yes, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Are those today's papers?

Yes, Carlos cut them out.

They're the headlines,

and they're all pretty much
about what Lancaster said.

Is Epifanio here?

Hello?

What are you doing in Mexico City, Dad?

What do you want?

Calm down, I'm on my way.

Everything okay, sir?

Back to work.

Hi!

Aren't you going to have breakfast?

No, Mom.
I'm running late.

I only came to pick up
a notebook and to change.

That must've been a fun dinner
with your friend,

and long!

You didn't even have time
to come home to sleep.

We didn't even sleep.

The truth comes out!

I told you, honey.

Oh, Mom!

We were studying all night.

I have a final exam on Friday,
and it's gonna be really hard.

So, you're going to keep sleeping
someplace else

like you've been doing all week?

No, Jimena, this isn't a hotel,
it's your home,

and like it or not, you've got
a mother and grandmother.

Why don't you tell your friend
to come study here tonight?

No, they won't let her spend
the night away from home.

Must be for a reason.

At least bring her
so we can meet her,

or give me her parents' number
just in case.

Mom, what's up?

I'm not a kid and I'm not
in high school anymore.

I don't need you keeping tabs
on me, all right?

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm leaving before I'm late.

What that girl needed was a firm hand.

This is all your fault.

Don't start, Mom.

Let's talk about what
you're going to do about Dad.

Nothing.

I'm not going to indulge
his desire to get a divorce.

What's the point of all this?

You've been separated for years.

For all intents and purposes,
you're divorced.

Dad doesn't love you, Mom.

He hasn't for a long time.

Turn the page.

You don't understand a thing.

This has nothing to do with love
but with what I deserve

for giving that bastard
the best years of my life.

It's my payment for his mistakes.

Besides, I know him.

I know sooner or later he'll give in.

Every president needs a first lady.

- What if he's already got one?
- What?

Yeah.

I mean, if he's in a hurry
for you to sign the divorce papers,

it must be for a reason.

Maybe he's fucking some other broad

and wants to marry her
so she can be his first lady.

All right, now I'm leaving.

Are you going to confess?

No, Father, I don't confess

due to the nature of my clear,
squeaky-clean soul.

I don't know if you can say the same.

My child, I'm an ordinary man
with flaws.

I am a sinner, but unlike you,
I do admit it.

Are you staying for Mass?

No, I have to go.

But what I do need
are two favors from you.

The first
is that you give me your blessing.

It's always good
to have heavenly support,

don't you agree?

So, if you don't mind?

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The second thing, Father,

is that you stop putting ideas

in my ex-wife's head.

Stop filling her head with nonsense ideas

about being first lady
and living in Los Pinos

and all that shit,

or you'll suffer the same fate
as Christ.

Excuse me, I have to take this.

Hello?

- Sofia escaped.
- What do you mean she escaped?

Morgana's dead and Teresa's daughter fled.

How?
What do you mean she died?

She got away?

I went to the safe house
as soon as I landed here.

The street was packed

with people surrounding
Morgana's body.

How did Morgana die?
What happened to her?

Hit by a bus.

I guess in that moment of confusion,
the child saw her chance and ran.

What about Batman?

He was sleeping
when everything happened.

He couldn't explain what happened,

and now he's not
answering his phone.

My priority right now is to find the girl.

I found her, but she got away
on the subway.

- I don't know where she went.
- You have to find her.

You know what it'll mean
if she gets in touch with her mom.

Teresa doesn't know anything.

She would've called you.

Right now my priority
is resolving the situation

with the safehouse.
It's crawling with cops.

No, the priority is finding the girl.

I'm going to the office to get Alejandro.

The three of us will meet at
my house in a half hour, got it?

Understood.

All right then.

That son of a bitch.

Thank you.

May I help you?

You don't know me, sir,
but I'm from Los Mochis.

My whole family is from Sinaloa,
and my dad's always saying

you're just the kind of governor
we need,

a politician who really can
change the country.

- Thank you.
- No, thank you.

It's you and your family
that make the state what it is.

Thank you.

May I get you something else?

Not right now.

Hi.

Dad.

When did you arrive?

You should've told us you were coming

so we could've picked you up
at the airport.

What's wrong?

You sounded strange to me over the phone.

Is it true you're sleeping
with that son of a bitch

Epifanio Vargas?

I'm...

We're dating, and it's serious.

Did I tell you or did I tell you?

I saw it all over your face
that day you came back

from interviewing him in jail.

I even told your mother.

"Veva's in love with that... man!"

And then when I asked you,
you denied all of it.

Because it wasn't true
at that moment.

I was the only journalist
who got to interview him in jail.

It was a national exclusive.

An exclusive
you wouldn't shut up about for months!

And all because you bought that story
he fed you about being innocent!

You and your brother!

Epifanio is innocent.

You don't say!

Teresa Mendoza teamed up
with the DEA to put him in jail

without any evidence.

My brother's told you thousands of times
but you refuse to believe it.

They destroyed his reputation.

And you're trying to restore it
with my last name.

Great!

He wants to be president
while at the same time

dating the daughter of
the governor of Sinaloa.

Shoot, I wish I'd been
destroyed in that manner

when my political career
first began.

I have class later...

Wait!
I'm not finished!

Honey,

give me your hand.

You know you could have
the best man in this country

by your side if that's what you want.

Why did you have to choose
Epifanio Vargas?

That man...

isn't good enough for you,

and let's not mention the age difference.

Oh, please, Dad.
What are you going to say?

- He's old enough to be my father?
- He is!

So, who, according to you,
does measure up to me?

My ex-husband, who had
a renowned last name,

who was a friend of the family
but also a good-for-nothing?

You've always been hard to deal with.

You've always done
what you damn well pleased.

I just don't understand why you had to
drag your brother down with you.

Do you know what you've done?

You've turned him
into Epifanio Vargas' flunky!

Is that what you really think of me, Dad?

Do you think I'm stupid?

You don't know her, Teresa.
My grandmother's very tough.

She might throw us out
if she sees us walk in.

Did you tell her Juanito got me pregnant?

Of course not.

That's your decision, Paloma.

She doesn't need to know.
Don't be dumb.

Besides, you still haven't
decided if you're keeping it.

Wouldn't it be better to go
after all this is cleared up?

You plan on going to trial?

Paloma, you ran away from home
with your boyfriend

as Captain Flores watched.

Do you understand?

In this sexist society,
nobody's going to believe that

that fool was raping you.

Teresa's right.

Look, the police have a warrant
out for your arrest.

The truth is we don't know
when you can return to Spain.

And if Grandmother calls the police
and turns us in?

No, I don't think she will.

Besides, like I said,

she's not doing well.

She already lost a son,
and now she's losing you two.

I'm a mother.

Listen to me.

Go say goodbye to her.

If you're going to attack me again
because of the baseless accusations

leveled at Mr. Vargas, then...

Then nothing.

You studied political science
and graduated number one

in your class.

You speak four languages,

and you're a smart, handsome,
educated man.

It breaks my heart
that you're that piece of work's toady.

I'm going to make that piece of work
the next president of Mexico.

That should be you.

Son, why can't you meet
a nice girl, get married,

give her two kids
and launch your political career

little by little?

Why are you wasting your time?

I was already a senator at your age.

You and I aren't the same, Dad.

That much is very clear.

I was never the tattling do-boy
for a corrupt fool.

Alejandro.

Alejandro, where the fuck are you,
Goddamn it?

Mr. Alcala went out, sir.

Where'd he go?
Find him, Goddamn it! Now!

A call would've been enough
and just as useless.

You didn't have to come
all the way here.

I wanted to hear it directly.

Don't you dare answer that call

when we're discussing
my children's future!

And you?

Why did you allow that jerk
to get involved with your sister?

You're trying to blame me
for Veva's choices

and vice versa.

We're adults and we make
our own decisions.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to take this.

Why won't you stop calling?
Who died?

This better be good because
I'm in a meeting with my father.

Meet me at my house in 15 minutes.

What happened, Epifanio?

We're in deep shit is what happened.

And if we don't get out of it,
we're all fucked, asshole.

I'll leave immediately.

I would've cleared my schedule
if you'd told me you were coming.

Something unexpected came up.

Was that Epifanio?
What happened?

Thank you very much.
I expected nothing less.

You'll be paid handsomely
as always.

It's all set.

Captain Lopez will secure
the house,

deal with Morgana's death certificate,
and get Batman out of jail.

Plus, if that girl turns up anywhere...

Whoa, whoa!

What do you mean "if" that girl turns up?

That girl will turn up.
She must turn up!

Morgana, the house, Batman
and all the rest...

I don't give a fuck about that!

How did she get away, Lupo?

I always said it.

Morgana wasn't the right person
for the job.

I don't know exactly what happened,

but she's just as smart as her mother.

Smart enough to kill Morgana?

Not directly.

Morgana left the door
to the house open as she fled

She crossed the street without looking
and that's why she was hit.

Fled from what?

Sofia frightened her.

You're telling me a nine-year-old girl

scared Morgana?

Morgana was superstitious
and Sofia knew it.

She used it against her to get revenge

because she was mistreating her.

A mini Wonder Woman.

She's got that Mendoza blood.

Quit kissing that broad's feet, Lupo!

Make sure you find that girl
before she calls her mother.

This city is so big that, for Sofia,
it might as well be on another planet.

She has no contacts and
doesn't know who to trust.

You appear to know her well.

Why don't you tell us where she might be?

I've got lots of information
on Zurdo Villa.

How'd you get it?

From people who owe me.

Some work in embassies, others
in transnational corporations.

Traffickers that negotiate
with Mexican cartels.

I listened to everything
they said and read everything

they handed me.

It isn't good news, is it?

No.

Zurdo Villa is a powerful man, Tesa,

and very dangerous.

Well, we already knew that, Oleg.

That's why Epifanio called me.

This operation will be
much more difficult than I thought.

Well, I'm willing to do anything
for my daughter.

The first thing we have to do
is go to Mexico posthaste.

- Do you have the information I requested?
- Yes.

You can find your friends in Melilla

at this little eatery.

And this is Conejo's address.

I don't believe that girl
contacted her mother.

How can you be sure?

Because if she had, she'd know
it was Lupo who kidnapped her.

She would've called him
to threaten him,

and she'd be on her way here
to execute him.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Teresa's not like the rest.

Maybe she knows and her silence
is part of her strategy.

Then let's find out.
Call her.

Come on, Lupo.

Don't just stand there
looking dumbstruck!

Call her.

I want to know if she's heard
from the kid.

MALAGA, SPAIN

You murdered your husband
and mother-in-law?

Yes.

By putting sodium hypochlorite
in their wine.

It's like bleach but stronger.

That poison never fails.

And you say it so easily,
like it's the most normal thing.

Marcela, you're off your rocker.

I was never more sane
than that day I killed them.

Fermin, my husband
was a son of a bitch,

and that was his biggest flaw:
his mother.

- And you don't regret it?
- No, I told you.

I'd do it again if I had to.

I paid my debt
to society at the prison

in El Puerto de Santa Maria...

You told me that story,
and I didn't believe it.

That's why I looked online.

Darling.

Don't go.

Look, Marcela.

I don't want to live pissed off
that two cops are at the door all day

and thinking that at any moment,
Galicians can show up

to castrate me.

I'm really sorry,
but that's your problem, not mine.

Goodbye.

Fermin.

Fermin.

She's not answering.

See?
That worries me.

No news is good news.

I'm certain that girl hasn't
contacted her mother,

so would you rather keep
coming up with scenarios,

or should we concentrate
on what matters,

- which is finding the girl?
- How will you find her?

How do you find a needle
in a haystack?

This is a city of 24 million.

We're not searching
the whole city for her.

We're going to seal the perimeter
and capitalize on the advantages we have.

What advantages are those
if we can't find the girl?

Lupo, you said the girl gave you
the slip on the subway.

- That's right.
- At which station?

This one.
Salto del Agua.

Salto del Agua.
Great.

There are two trains there.
Green and pink.

Which was she on?

The green,

headed toward Garibaldi.

Picture this.

Sofia's scared and on the run,

in Mexico City,
which she doesn't know,

and riding the subway,
which she's not familiar with.

That just proves to me
that she didn't change trains,

she didn't change lines.

There are only three stations

between Salta del Agua and Garibaldi.

And she's running from you
as quickly as possible.

She got off at the next station.

Hot damn!

Alex is right.

Let's not waste any more time.

She's in this region.

We have to tell Batman
to deploy all our men

to seal the perimeter.

Sofia is here,
and we're going to find her.

Sorry.

I told you.

The sardines went to table 7,
the anchovies to 5.

You're so dumb.

You're calling me dumb?

Yep, and if
we weren't working,

you'd be wearing those sardines
as a hat.

[speaks in Arabic]

Don't you talk to me in Arabic.

I said you'll never change, Sheila.

Excuse me, have you got any tequila?

Mexican!

The same South American as ever.

My God!

It's great to see you!

These are the prescriptions.

The doctor also left instructions
for you to get tests done at the hospital.

We must rule out
any heart-related issues.

It's dangerous.

If yesterday was a mild heart attack,
it could happen again.

Grandmother?

What are you two doing here?

You're in cahoots with
the Mexican to kill me, aren't you?

Don't get excited, Mrs. Cayetana.

It's okay, Charo.

If I haven't had a heart attack yet,

that means my heart's fine.

We're not here to fight.

We just wanted to see
how you're doing.

Right.

A little late for that.

A little late to worry
about your grandmother.

I want nothing to do with either of you.

And you, you're to blame
for everything

for running off
with that gypsy bastard.

I'm so sorry, Grandmother.
I know I messed up,

but I hate seeing you like this.

Paloma, let's get out of here.
You heard her.

- She doesn't want to see us again.
- Please don't turn your back on me.

Please help us.

My girls.

How did we get to this point?

Charo, please believe me.

I didn't kill Juanito.
It was an accident.

I know, and I believe you, Rocio.

You're very good girls.

Ma'am.

Who called the police?

Nobody did.

What do we do?

Hide.
That's what fugitives do.

It's like a horror movie.

It's worse than that, Sheila.

What are you going to do?

Rescue her however I can.

But tell me about you two.

I'm happy to see you, and I see
your business is doing well.

You have more customers
than we did at Yamila!

No way.

Don't get the wrong idea.
This place isn't ours.

- No?
- Quite the opposite.

We're being exploited like slaves here.

The economic crisis hit us hard.

I keep telling Sheila
we should leave this shit

and go to Morocco,
but she's scared.

Here we go again with Morocco.

No, it's not that I'm scared,

it's that women are treated
like garbage there.

Not by everyone!
We're not all the same, Sheila!

Doesn't seem
like it's been nine years.

You still fight like before.

Look, there's the owner.

Some idiot that makes
our lives impossible.

Well,

would you two be interested

in working with me in Mexico?

Mexico?

When?

Well, we'd have to sign
a contract,

and I'd cover all expenses.

I'd go anywhere with you
if it meant better pay.

For a friend with your guts,

I'd go to infinity and beyond
with you.

Who do we have to kill, Mexican?

- Get back to work.
- Back to work?

Get us three beers.
We're celebrating.

Oh, I almost forgot.
The beer here tastes like piss.

We're leaving.

We quit.

No!

Poor guy.

By the way, how are Soraya and Lalo?

Well...

They moved to Australia
three years ago.

Last time I spoke to them,

Lalo was about to get a tongue
transplant, the poor guy.

I didn't know you could transplant
someone else's tongue.

It'd give me the creeps
if my boyfriend kissed me

with a tongue without knowing
where it's been!

Gross!

I'm really happy for Lalo.
That's great.

Lalo's fine, but when
are we going to Mexico?

Soon, but first,
I have to help a friend.

She's under police protection
because enemies of mine

want to hurt her.

- Enemies?
- Yeah.

I'll fill you in later,
but I've got a plan to rescue her,

and I'll need your help.

We're right here.

Captain Flores.

Where is she?

Right there.

We meet again, Mrs. Cayetana.

Yes, Captain Flores,

and by the looks of it, you seem
to have suffered a mishap.

Let me guess.

You've come to inform me
that the Mexican got away from you again.

Teresa Mendoza is still in Spain,

and she's planning on fleeing
with your granddaughters.

Have you heard from them?

I haven't seen them or spoken to them.

Charo, have you heard
from those criminals?

Paloma and Rocio
stopped being my granddaughters

when they betrayed
their father's memory.

You're wasting your time,
Captain.

They're never setting foot
in this house again.

Ma'am, your granddaughters
are in serious trouble.

They're fugitives and in the company
of your son's murderer.

Like I said, Captain,
you're wasting your time.

My granddaughters
would never contact me.

They know me too well, and they know
they're not welcome here.

You won't mind
if we have a look around, right?

Do you have something to hide
that you won't let me search your house?

Captain Flores,
you always surprise me.

I've been asking you for 10 years
to catch that Mexican

so my son could get justice,
and now you're telling me

my granddaughters
have teamed with her to...

You think I'd house
those criminals in my home?

Captain.

With cops like you,

it's no wonder Teresa Mendoza
keeps getting away from you.

Here's some advice.

Go on vacation.

I promise you'll be
a new man afterward.

Good day, Captain Flores.

Charo, walk him out.

Mr. Flores.

Let's go.

Hey.

Hey.

How's it going?

Fine. You?

Fine, thanks.
Did they order pizza here?

Why else would I be here?

Fermin, I knew you'd come back.

Who are you?

Santa Claus, can't you tell?

- Here's the pizza you ordered, ma'am.
- I didn't order any pizza.

You didn't?

You heard the lady.
Now get out of here.

Here.
Here you go.

This is the address,
and the order is more than clear.

Puerto Santa Maria pizza
with Mexican chili peppers.

Oh, yes!
I love chili peppers.

I'm so stupid. After getting into
a fight with my husband,

I'd forgotten I'd ordered pizza.

- Thank you.
- For you.

Let me check it first.

It's a regular pizza.

Hey, it's getting cold
and I won't want it after that.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Thank you, Grandmother.

I thought
you were going to sell us out.

I never want
to see either of you again.

Grandmother, I know
you'll start to understand

on the day you swallow your pride.

Understand?

What's there to understand?

That you're now friends
with your father's murderer?

I shall never forgive you.

It's all your fault.

- Your hate drove us to this.
- Shut your mouth.

You put all that shit
in your sister's head.

You two got yourselves into this mess.

They're gone, Mrs. Cayetana.

This is the last time I'll help you.

From now on,
you're on your own...

and I...

am dead.

Charo.

"Conejo, I'm in Malaga.

I have a way to get you
out of the house.

Read this carefully
so you know the plan."

A car?

I knew Teresa wouldn't
leave me in the lurch.

A daughter.

Yes, Teo,

you have a daughter.

The Mexican not only
took your life

but robbed you of the chance
to see her grow up.

She is an Aljarafe.

Her name is Sofia Aljarafe

and like it or not,

she is my granddaughter.

I don't want to die
and let that murderer raise her.

Get ready, Teresa,
this is only the beginning.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

CLINICAL LABORATORY

An eye for an eye. She took my son,
so I will take her daughter.

What's going to happen
when she finds out

that the dude that's totally into her

is the same dude
that kidnapped her daughter?

What about Manuela?

I've got free rein
to check the whole house.

Mr. Pernas, the Mexican is here.

Passports, please.

Sofia!
