La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 35 - La amiga de Sofía - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

PREVIOUSLY...

- Hello.
- We have to talk.

I have something to tell you,
but it has to be in person.

Fine. Let's meet.

I'll see you at the house
where I lived with Güero.

"Help. I've been kidnapped.

Please help me.

Call my grandmother Cayetana.

Her number is +345450189.

Sofía.



My name is Sofía Aljarafe."

This priest is connected
to Epifanio Vargas,

and I know who killed him.

It's the same person coming for you.

I'm in a rush too.

In a rush to get that money, sir.

You're the only one
who can help me out with this.

See you at 9:00 on the dot.

The kid's alive.

I need two pieces of wood
about the length of Sofía's arm.

Why don't we call a doctor instead?

- Let a professional handle it.
- Do what I say!

Quickly.

Willy. Teresa?



I'm right here.

What happened? Where's Willy?

He's dead.

He was just killed.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

MÁLAGA, SPAIN

Rodrigo, we have to report her.

I believe that Mexican is responsible for
the death of Siso Pernas and his family.

She's threatened to kill me, too,
if I come after her.

That woman is much worse than I thought.

We can't prove that, and without
any bodies, there's no crime, Cayetana.

What we can do is add
everything you just said

to our argument for her losing
custody of her daughter.

The judge is about to make his ruling,
which I'm certain will be in your favor,

but there's one thing that worries me.

The judge was informed
of your granddaughters' escape.

What's that got to do with anything?

The judge's orders could be delayed,
which would complicate things.

Is there anything we can do?

Yes, convince one of your granddaughters

to testify against Teresa Mendoza.

Now that Paloma and Rocio
are around the Mexican

and are familiar with
her criminal activities,

they could speak out against her.

All right, Rodrigo. Leave that to me.

I'll take that, Charo.

Yes?

May I speak to Cayetana, please?

Yes, that's me. Who is this?

Are you Grandma Cayetana?

Sofía, is that you?

No, ma'am. I'm Renata.

Is your granddaughter
named Sofía Aljarafe?

Yes, but who are you?
Do you know my granddaughter?

Are you her friend?

She's my friend, and she needs your help.

She asked me to call and tell you
she's been kidnapped.

We have to help her.

Who gave you my phone number?

It was written on the paper
I found in the bottle

here at the reservoir.

A paper? A bottle? A reservoir?

Where are you calling from?

From my mother's phone.

Give the phone to her.

No, if she finds out
I'm calling you from her cell,

I'll get in trouble.

Ma'am, you have to come quick.
Where do you live?

In Málaga.

Where is that?

In Spain. In Europe.

Wow, you're so far away.

I live in Mexico.

All right, kid.

Explain everything
about the bottle and paper

because I'm not understanding you.

What does the message say?

Just a moment.

"Help. I've been kidnapped.

Please help me.

Call my grandmother Cayetana.

Her number is

+3495450189.

My name is Sofía Aljarafe."

Okay, are you really Sofía's friend?

Do you know her?

No, I don't. Well, yes and no.

She's my imaginary friend
and I have to help her

because she's been kidnapped.

This is a bad joke in very poor taste.

A message in a bottle?

You should get punished for lying.
Put your mother on the phone.

No! She doesn't know I found that bottle
with the message from Sofía.

This is a secret mission.

Renata, what are you doing?

Nothing, Mom.

Is that my phone? Who are you talking to?

Nobody. I'm just playing.

You know I don't like you taking my phone.

- Give it to me.
- Coming.

Are you there?

Yes, I am.

When will you save my friend Sofía?

I'm going to call the police right now
to report you.

Here you go.

Who were you talking to?

Sofía's grandmother.

Who's Sofía?

My friend who's in trouble.

A friend?

I've never met her,
but she's my friend, okay?

Renata, please stop making things up.

But, Mom, I'm telling the truth.

I had to call her grandma to tell her
she'd been kidnapped.

You know what? I'm taking you
to a psychologist on Monday.

- No.
- Get over here.

No, Mom.
She talks too much and she's boring.

- Too bad.
- Listen to me!

What if the girl told the truth,

and Sofía called her to tell her
she'd been kidnapped?

Yes, I believe the kidnapping part,

but the call is absurd.

I believe the Mexican wanted
to make me feel responsible

for the child's kidnapping.

Let's all calm down.

Maybe Sofía is trying to contact you.

Could be.

Poor child, I shudder to think
what those animals are doing to her.

Charo, be quiet!

Rodrigo, my entire fortune is yours

if my granddaughter is with me
as soon as possible.

Like I said, the judge will grant you
custody of Sofía any moment now.

We'll notify Mexican
law enforcement immediately

so they can find and save her
so you can bring her to Spain.

I'm late.

I have something to do at the courts.

Think about what I said

about one of your granddaughters
testifying against Teresa Mendoza.

That would help us greatly.

Don't worry, I will.

- Goodbye, Charo.
- I'll walk you out.

Willy was my teacher...

the man who gave me advice.

I loved that bastard.

When I tried to quit my DEA training...

he wouldn't let me.

Did you know he lost his son
during a confrontation?

Yes.

He told me one of the victims
during the operation

was his son.

Willy was sure that the bullet
that killed his son

came from a gun he himself fired.

The guilt was rotting away
at him from the inside.

Willy always made me feel...

like I was the son he'd lost.

He was very proud of you.

He told me.

He told me to trust Jonathan
like I'd trust him.

You don't know how sorry I am.

And I regret even more

for not trusting him sooner.

Him and you.

From the bottom of my heart.

Tell me how everything went down.

Willy and I entered the house together,

went to the pool, drank tequila,

and he started telling me something

about a murdered priest in Mexico

and about how that priest
had ties to Epifanio Vargas' family.

Just as he was going to tell me
who it was...

...he was shot in the head.

It all happened so fast.

Are there cameras here?

No, I haven't lived here for years.

Hold on, though.

It took me only 15 or 20 minutes
to get back here.

How could that person
have arrived before me

when I was running after her

and still have had time
to remove Willy's body

and put him there,
along with the pictures?

The message is very clear.

Anyone close to you is in danger.

At that moment, right after I'd fallen,
you passed by me,

but you didn't realize I'd fallen.

I heard you, but you didn't hear me.

It was very cold.

You're safe now.

The good thing is
you didn't break anything.

You'll be fine in a few weeks,

but this will help anyway.

It doesn't hurt as much anymore.

Because of the medicine I gave you.

What are you doing?

Immobilizing your arm
so you'll heal more quickly.

Now...

I'll wrap it.

Thanks for saving me.

I thought I was going to die.

Bad girls never die.

The police can't find Willy's body here.

That would put you right on their radar.

I'll get him out of here.

I still can't believe it.

I swear I'll find whoever killed him.

Do you have any idea who it could've been?

No.

I'll look into Willy's final hours.

Once I find out what he learned,

I'll know who killed him and why.

Hold on, you said it yourself.

You're in those pictures.

You have to be careful. You're a target.

Leave. I'll handle things here.

Go.

We'll find the murderer. I promise.

Together.

Thank you.

This will mend any broken bone.

Thank you, Batman. I'm very hungry.

I'll help you eat.

If you're going to speak
in Italian, I'm out.

- Call me, Lupo.
- Batman, wait.

Hey, hey.

Tell Epifanio the girl turned up...

and that I'll send the video later.

- Okay.
- Where are you going?

To see Sheila, Teresa's friend.

To see if I get her to talk.

Maybe she'll fill me in
on Zurdo's and Teresa's romance.

Tell me everything you find out
about Teresa.

Okay.

What did you say to Batman?

I told him to buy some medicine.

Now eat.

You need to regain your strength.

I'm very sorry about Willy.
I know he was your godfather.

After my uncle's death,
Willy was always there for me.

All the time.

He gave me my first computer...

and it's thanks to him
that I'm here with you, safe and sound.

Teresa, I'll help you find
the motherfucker who killed him.

Don't worry. We'll find him together.

Yes.

I need to let my mom know.

Listen to me.

I feel terrible
because I should've trusted Willy more.

In the end, he was killed for helping me.

He didn't deserve to die like that.

We need to find who did it

and we need to figure out
what he was trying to tell me.

Jonathan's on the case, too.

Teresa, you can count on us
for anything you need.

Ray, we're here for you.

- It could've been any one of us.
- Of course!

Don't worry, Ray.

You shouldn't have gone alone.
That's why Antón's here.

I know I was stupid,
but I thought Willy was bragging

so he could come work with us.

We're going to double
your security detail.

I know you're upset
because of what happened to Willy,

but we need to focus.

Your meeting with Zurdo is very important.

You're planning a trip
and I need to prepare for everything.

What's left to do?

Everything needs to be perfect
for us to set Zurdo up.

You need to meet with your people
to finalize details,

I need to meet with Abdelkader
to tell him about our visit...

It all has to work.

Zurdo has to believe partnering up with me

is the best deal he's ever done.

Tessa, do you feel ready?

Of course not!

I never do!

Your intuition has always saved you.

I'll reach out to our contacts in Europe

so they'll welcome us.

But Tessa...

we have to end this as soon as possible

so you can reunite with your daughter.

You're very vulnerable right now
and you have to be very careful.

If something were to happen to you now,

all this would be pointless.

You're going to pay for Willy's death.

You discovered something huge.

And I promise I'll find out
what it was, Willy.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Are you ready? We leave tonight, right?

Damn right.

Hey! How are you?

Good.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?

No reason. Everything's ready.

The jet landed and is waiting for us.

Today, you and I leave for Europe.

I can't wait to meet your African friend,

the Italians and everyone
who'll make us money.

Nazario!

How's the most beautiful girl
in the world doing?

I'm well, handsome!

How are you, cutie?

Oh, you know...

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

This is Renata.

She's my daughter.

Your daughter?

She's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

I didn't know you had a daughter.

Say hi to my friend.

Nice to meet you. My name is Renata.

I'm Teresa. Nice to meet you.

Mom!

You have no idea how much
I've wanted to hold you, sweetie.

Teresa... are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

I just...

I'm sorry, but I imagined
I was with my daughter.

My daughter is about your age.

Oh, yeah? She's nine?

Sofía is about to turn 10,
but she looks like she's 12.

Wow, I have a friend named Sofía, too.

Don't... She's very imaginative.

She comes up with a different
imaginary friend each week.

As long as they're not dead. Come on.

Come on, Teresa.

I mean, she...

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

In two months, the debates begin

between the candidates
for president of Mexico.

Your vote will decide

who will run our country
for the next six years.

This has been Entre Lineas

and before we close,
I'd like to share with you

one last piece of news.

Today is my last day on Entre Lineas.

I have mixed feelings about this

because all of you, our viewers,

and the amazing production staff

that's been with me
over the last few years

have been pivotal
for the growth of my career.

I've always said
the truth will set us free,

and I remain true to my convictions.

Everyone knows I'm engaged
to presidential candidate Epifanio Vargas,

and I should be honest...

Vevita.

I'm here because she won't tell you this,
so I will.

Mom, are you okay?

What the hell do you think?
That slut took what was mine,

and your fool of a father

has the audacity to rub it in my face.

I hit the jackpot.

She and I are getting married.

I brought her flowers.

Put them back there or you won't see them.

What is it, Mom?

What are you doing?

That ginger cop who came looking for us,
what was his name?

Willy?

Yes, that's him. He said he could help.

I'm sure I put his card
around here somewhere.

Yes, here it is.

First you kick him out
and now you're calling him?

Of course I am!

Let's see if he really wants to help us.

Willy, it's Carmen.

You stopped by to ask about my ex-husband,

and I'm finally ready to talk.

When would you like to meet?

Mrs. Carmen, nice to meet you.
I'm Jonathan Pérez.

Who?

Willy and I work for the DEA.

Put me through to Willy.

He can't come to the phone.

He's dead.

Say cheese!

Wonderful!

- Great job!
- Thank you so much, sir.

You have my vote.

I want your vote and your family's votes.

Have all of your relatives vote.

- Your vote is more powerful than a bullet.
- So be it.

- May I take your picture?
- Of course.

Veva, that was amazing!
We're trending on social media!

We're number one nationwide.

We'll always be number one nationwide.

I'd like to offer suggestions
as to who could replace me.

Excuse me, but I'm going to steal
my bride away for sec.

- Go ahead.
- We can discuss my suggestions later.

- Thank you.
- Call me.

- Vevita, I want to talk to you.
- Yes.

Have a seat, please. Sit down, babe.

Yes?

I didn't want to say it
because you haven't okayed it yet,

but there's no need
to keep thinking about it.

Think about what?

Our wedding.

But you just...

Let's get married next week.

What do you mean next week?

Listen, I know good, pretty girls like you
want to oversee every detail.

You want the white dress,
the tablecloths, the flowers

and all that, but if you'll let me,
I'll throw you a party...

The elections are coming up.

If you don't say yes now,
then when will you do it?

A week isn't much time...

It's still a week. Period.

What?

Don't you love me?

Don't we love each other?

I love you.

- I love you, too.
- Enough of that.

- Let's get married.
- Let's get married.

Ever since I separated from her mother,

her psychologist says
she started coming up

with imaginary friends.

She's always with her bodyguards

and she's homeschooled.

Being so isolated is messing
with her head.

You're exaggerating.

All children are very imaginative.

My daughter... is very creative.

She loved it when I read her stories,

and that obviously
stimulates her imagination.

Anyway.

We leave tonight.

Get me the coordinates
so I can get them to the pilot.

We're going to stop in Morocco,
Africa first.

I'll call you later
to give you the coordinates.

You'll meet the man in charge there:
Abdelkader Chaib,

the man who tipped me off about Siso.

From there, we'll go to Southern Italy.

After that, we'll close a few deals

and we'll come back
to coordinate the shipments.

- Sánchez Godoy is coming with us.
- Great.

He's your most trusted supplier.

Teresa...

you said you were hiding
your daughter in Europe, didn't you?

Yes, but I don't want to talk about her.

Now hold on.

If we're going to be there,
you could go visit her.

That way, I'd get to meet her.

You've met my daughter.

Okay?

Daddy!

- Is Teresa your girlfriend?
- From your lips to God's ears.

She's not my girlfriend yet,
but I'm working on it.

I'm working on it.

You know the story
of Little Red Riding Hood?

Of course I do. I love it.

My daughter Sofía loves it, too.

In Italian it's called

Cappuccetto Rosso.

- Wow, that sounds so cool!
- Yes.

Do you like to draw?

- Yes.
- I'll bring my paint.

My mom lied to me.

My last name isn't Dantés.

Mom always said
I was her most beautiful possession,

but that was just another lie.

She's the one who had me kidnapped.

You're very talented.

Thank you.

Do you like dressing up?

Yes.

I dress up as a princess
and I play with my friends.

The princess is very sad,

but my friend Chucho, a prince,

comes to rescue me.

Why is the princess sad?

Because the king keeps her locked
in a tower.

She's very sad.

Like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Mom doesn't want to see me.

She prefers Lupo.

They were together yesterday.

Give it blue eyes.
Wolves have blues eyes, right?

Yes, and princes do, too.

Blue eyes are very pretty, Teresa.

Mom, I don't love you anymore.

It's your fault I feel terrible.

It's your fault I fell and broke my arm.

I prefer Lupo.

He saved my life.

You, however, killed my father.

Granny, what big ears you've got!

All the better to hear you with.

Oh!

Granny, what big blue eyes you've got!

Well, all the better to see you with.

Oh.

Granny, what a large mouth you've got!

Well, that's because...

it's all the better to eat you with!

You're the Big Bad Wolf! Help!

What's wrong, Sofía?

Renata, please help!
The Big Bad Wolf is holding me hostage.

Don't worry, Sofía.
I'll save you from him!

Help me! Come get me quickly!

I'll help you! Don't worry.

Hey, what's all the commotion?
Enough, Renata.

- Stop it.
- Dad, I had to save my friend Sofía.

She was kidnapped by the Wolf.

Stop making things up.
You're scaring Teresa.

When she gets started,
there's no stopping her.

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.

I'm going to go.

I want to get ready for tonight.

I'm very happy to have met you.

Me, too.

It was great to play with you.

It was.

I hope one day I can tell you the story

of Little Red Riding Hood but in Italian.

- Okay.
- I'll walk you out.

No, it's fine. Thank you.

- Come on.
- It's fine, really.

I want you to stop making things up.

- Dad...
- There's no need for you to make stuff up.

Francesco.

Hey, Teresa. How are you?

Good. How's your business going?

Fine.

Your tone tells me something's wrong.

Did something happen?

No. An old friend died.

I've come face to face
with death many times,

but I never get used to it.

I'm very sorry.

Tell me, is there anything
I can do to help?

There is.

I'd really like to see you.
I could use a hug.

I'd like to see you, too...

but I won't be going to Mexico
any time this week.

I'm going to Italy.

Would you like to see me tomorrow?

Does that make you happy?

Can you clear a space

in your very busy schedule, Mr. Belmondo?

Of course I can, Teresa.

Always.

Tomorrow, you said?

Yes. I can make a stop in Rome.

Perfect.

Rome and I will be expecting you.

Are you traveling alone?

No, I'm travelling with Zurdo Villa.

I see things with him
are progressing very well.

Yes, they are.

Winning his trust is
my main priority right now.

I met his daughter.

She's about Sofía's age.

I can't stop thinking about her...

I miss her so much.

I also hurt when I don't see
my children for a long time.

Right.

Why don't we make the most of this trip
and you introduce me to your children?

Don't you think it's the perfect plan?

I can meet your family while I'm in Rome.

Yes, I think it's great,
but it won't be possible

because they returned south
with their mother.

Oh, but I'm meeting
some contacts in Palermo.

Why don't we meet there instead?

I'll do everything I can
to clear my schedule

and so I can see you all there.

It'll be great.

Sorry, but I have to get to a meeting.

I hope Zurdo Villa doesn't use this trip

to negotiate another kind
of deal with you.

Look, Zurdo has behaved
like a gentleman around me.

And for your information,
I don't let just anyone touch me.

Only those I like.

I'll call tomorrow
once I'm in Palermo, okay?

Have a safe trip, Teresa.

Likewise.

Kira.

Sir.

Clean job?

The mission was carried out
without a hitch, sir.

Willy.

Age turned him into an idiot.

Yes, it's a shame.

We had to get him out of our way
or our mission would've been ruined.

Kira, never forget that one soldier alone

cannot win a war,

but if he or she is captured by the enemy,

they can destroy their battalion.

You're right.

Sir, I must say that
it's an honor and a pleasure

to work with one of our best agents.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

You can't tell anyone we met.

If you do, any one of us
could be in mortal danger.

I need you to delay
your return a few hours.

There's some information

I need to keep from coming to light.

If you're found out, you're dead.

Are we clear?

My cousin was killed, Alejandro!

He's dead! I don't know what happened!

The police came by
and said he resisted arrest...

He's lying in the street like a dog.
