La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 41 - La doña en México - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Even from out here
I see a shit-load of dudes.

It's a whole army.

How'd the Italian get in there?

They're all standing around
looking at something.

That must be where they're keeping Teresa.

Francesco, are you crazy?

This thing is going to explode.

Don't move!

Kill her!



Kill them!

There's no genie from a magic lamp
to save you from this, asshole!

Don't shoot.
Zurdo, put your gun down, please.

If you swear on Allah,
I know you'll keep your word.

What do you mean you didn't know
Willy Rangel was killed?

Was it you?

- Me?
- Yeah.

No, of course not. I'm not crazy.

To be clear, it's one thing
to get rid of a corrupt priest.

A DEA agent is quite another.

Sir.

Erick Sheldon.

You haven't left the DEA, babe.

You're working on something secret
for my boss.



I want your word.

If something happens to me,
find Oleg and my people.

Help them rescue my daughter.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

In Tuscany, Italy

Where Teresa is hiding

Her daughter was kidnapped

To make her come back

To her beloved Mexico

Watch out, I'm coming back

During that rescue

New things came to light

A full house

In Teresa's claws

She will rampage for revenge

The Queen of the South has come back

What are you doing, kid?

Killing time!

The last time you killed time
you almost set the whole island on fire!

Don't do good things that look bad.

Lupo!

Good thing you're here.
You almost didn't make it.

I want to go home.

My Batarang's got a Batcave
to explore tonight.

What's with these bags?

Help me out with that.

Ow.

Thank you.

Wait.

Give me that.

What's that on your face?

Nothing.

Happy birthday.

Thank you!

I'm growing more every day.

Save me some cake, all right?

No.

Don't get too drunk.

You know how crazy Sofia gets
when she's wasted.

You didn't tell me it was your birthday,
you little runt.

That's messed up.

Aren't you going to say happy birthday?

I will soon, sweetie.

As soon as I come back.

- Bye, Batman.
- Bye.

Faster, faster.

- Let's go.
- OK.

How'd you know it was my birthday?

You were with her, weren't you?

I bought you two presents.

One is in the house.

And the other?

The other...

is what I'm going to tell you.

I was it Italy with your mother.

You know that's not a gift for me.

It makes me mad just talking about it
because I imagine you two together.

Sofia, please. Just a second.

Listen.

Your mother and I are friends

because she doesn't know
that I'm your kidnapper.

You don't know how much she's suffering

because she can't be with you
on your birthday.

She's risking her life

to get you back by her side.

OK.

Can you? I'll do it.

We need a hug.

I'm so happy to see you.
You're finally safe and sound.

You don't know how scared we were.

We need to celebrate.

- It's a miracle you're alive.
- Yes.

Where's Paloma?

She's not feeling well, but don't worry.
She'll be here later.

- The pregnancy?
- Yes.

- Tequila?
- Yes, please.

Today wasn't my day to die.

That look...

I've seen it before. What happened, Tesa?

Nothing. I'm just tired.

- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to me

- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to me

- Happy birthday Sofia
- Happy birthday Sofia

- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to me

Wait.

Make a wish
before you blow out the candles.

I wish that everything you said
about my mother is true.

Your wish has come true.

Everything I said is true.

Hold on a minute.

Another gift?

My flag-throwing uniform.

Yes.

What about my mom?

She doesn't know I bought it for you.

Just imagine this gift is from her.

She's thinking about you

and hoping you have a happy birthday.

Thank you, Lupo.

That present is missing something.

Tatan!

The flag you used to win
this year's flag-throwing championship.

There's only one condition.

You have to show me how you do it.

Fine.

Thank you, Lupo.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Teresa, what an adventure.

Not even the Count of Monte Cristo
when through so much.

I don't know that count,

but I can assure you that the best story

is your love story with the Italian.

Francesco's got everything
it takes to make Teresa swoon.

Am I right?

Don't exaggerate.

What do you mean? He saved your life.

What matters right now
is that we sealed the deal.

Zurdo bought it hook, line, and sinker.

He wants us to start now.

We have to continue with our plan.

I need to get my daughter back
as soon as possible.

Excuse me,

I'm going to check
one of the camera angles.

Be right back.

Tesa.

I was really touched when you thought
you had reached your end

and you asked me
to take care of your daughter.

I know how much she means to you.

I'm honored.

I trust you completely.

What about the Italian?

There's no comparison.

I barely know him.

I didn't even know he was a soldier.

We can't forget
that's the reason you're alive now.

If you can call this anguish a life.

Tesa, you can be sure

that today your daughter
is thinking of you more than ever.

You know what?

Every year I would take her to the place

where she chose to be born, the sea.

I would sing her happy birthday in Italian

and then "Las Mañanitas".

She and I alone in the middle
of the Mediterranean,

the place where she also chose
to change my life.

And right now I don't know where she is.

I don't know if they're treating her well.

I don't know
if she's celebrating her birthday

or if she's thinking of me.

Tesa, stop torturing yourself.

The hardest part is over.

You're inside Zurdo's organization.

He completely trusts you
and won't suspect a thing.

You'll see,

soon you'll have your daughter back

and we'll go very far away.

Want to make a wish?

Wait.

Ow, my arm.

Oh, no.

Sorry.

- Sorry!
- I'm sorry!

- Sorry.
- No, please.

Got you.

Come here.

You'll feel more free like this.

Bravo!

Well done, champ.

- Lupo.
- Yes?

Are you in love with my mom?

I'd rather not answer.

Are you in love with her or not?

I don't know.

But...

when I'm with her,
I wish I could stop time

and spend more time by her side.

You're in love with her.

What do you know about love?

I'm a woman
and all women have feminine intuition.

That love is going to end

when she finds out you kidnapped me
and that you're lying to her.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Well? What now?

We've already invited
every authorized media outlet, sir.

Careful.

I don't want any of those reporters
that only sniff my behind like dogs.

I don't want to appear

in any of those two-bit gossip rags
with Bebita.

No, of course not, sir.

Each press member
has been exclusively authorized by us.

Any picture they want to publish
must have our authorization.

We have everything under control.

Alright.

Where's Alex?

Does he work alone now? Where is he?

I'll locate him right away, sir.
Don't worry.

- Hurry up.
- Excuse me.

Look who it is!

Excuse me.

Speak of the devil and she shall appear.

My beautiful Bebita.

How are you?

- Good, honey.
- Nervous, right?

- Are you nervous?
- What do you mean?

Sit here.

We're getting married tomorrow.

Tomorrow you'll be my wife.

You'll be Mrs. Vargas,

my love for the rest of our lives.

Yes, honey.

Leave a message after the tone.

Alejandro, it's me.

I know you don't like for me to leave you

these types of messages,
but where are you?

Epifanio keeps asking for you.

The wedding is tomorrow

and when I woke up you weren't home.

Would you please call me?

What do you do here? Let me guess.

You're the DJ.

No, not at all.

I don't work at El Submarino.

I mean, I do work here,
but not in this area.

I work in the back.

I handle the administrative part,
bills, invoices...

It's kind of boring.

I really like this club.

I could get used to coming here.

Oh yeah?

Well it gets much better later.

Yeah, it's cool.

Here you are. Enjoy.

Thanks.

- Excuse me?
- Enjoy.

How strange.

A Middle-Easterner working
at a club in Culiacan.

Does he work with you?

Cheers.

Cheers to the prettiest girl
to ever set foot in this place.

No, there are prettier girls in here.

Hi, Teresa.

Hi!

- How are you feeling? Better?
- Yeah, better.

Great.

Hi.

Hi!

- How are you?
- Good.

I'm going to get to work.

I might have some luck tonight

and meet a guy who's into facials.

- Have you seen Ray?
- Check him out.

He's busy with a very pretty customer.

He hasn't stopped talking to her
since she arrived.

Look, this certainly isn't my first rodeo.

I know a thing or two about men.

Between us girls,
I'll tell you what I see.

He wants her.

Ray can do whatever he wants.
He's not my boyfriend.

I can hook up
with the first idiot I meet too.

Maybe not while I'm pregnant.

Stop being ridiculous
and let's find out who she is.

Let's go.

Batman?

Hi, it's Sheila. I'm back.

Listen, when are we going
to finish what we started?

Ball's in your court.

I know my mother well.

When she finds out you kidnapped me,

she's going to slit your throat.

The day will come for explanations.

And what are you going to explain?

That you forgot to mention
that tiny detail

about you being the one who kidnapped me?

Don't even think she'll thank you
for taking care of me.

You're right.

I don't deserve her forgiveness.

Don't get your hopes up.

You know she's got a Spanish boyfriend.

Pedro is a great guy.

You've never told me why I was kidnapped.

What are they making my mom do
in exchange for my freedom?

You're better off not knowing.

Is it the mafia she used to be in?

Who's the boss?
The guy who came last time, the candidate?

Or someone who wants to hurt my mom?

Why won't you answer me?

Who planned my kidnapping?

Don't insist on asking.

The only thing I can tell you
is that you'll soon be with your mother.

You know I don't want to be with her.

Well, start getting used to the idea.

You're going back to your mother
and you'll have to forgive her.

Forgive her? After she killed my father?
Are you serious?

Sofia, I already told you.

Everything has an explanation.

I know her reasons,
but it's not my place to tell you.

- Understand?
- OK.

I have a surprise for you too,

but I need to get the drone
so you can see my present from the sky.

Let's go.

A surprise from the sky?

From the sky.

WASHINGTON DC, USA

This is so embarrassing.

Come on. Smile, girl.

Hi!

What's up?

- How about the music? Good, huh?
- Yes.

Ray, introduce us to your friend.

Sure.

Jimena, this is Rocio
and that's her sister Paloma.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Girls, this is Jimena.

Nice to meet you.

So what's up?

How do you know each other?

She's the girl I told you about.

She helped me get the information
on you re-enrolling in college.

Oh, right.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

What brings you to Culiacan to study?

Well, love.

Oh!

Well, not love.

The thing is my grandfather is sleeping

with who used to be my favorite professor.

They're even getting married,
so you can imagine all the drama

and how much my classmates teased me.

I got sick of it and decided
to finish the semester here.

But it's good that your grandfather
is starting over.

So long as he's a real man
who keeps his word

and not a lying, cheating bastard
like so many others.

Right, Ray?

Are you OK, Tesa?

I think you should go home
and get some rest soon.

I wish.

I can't sleep. I can't close my eyes.

I can't stop thinking of my daughter.

I think another tequila would help.

You know me.

- To Sofia.
- To her.

Has Ray told you that Paloma,
my sister, are dating?

Shut up. I never said that.

No, hold on.

I don't know what she's talking about.
We're not together.

Paloma, you told me you kissed.

Shut up. You're so annoying.

They're not officially dating,
but they are involved.

They're not getting married
like your grandfather and your teacher.

Hey!

Calm down.

I can't believe it.

No fucking way.
What the hell is Grandmother doing here?

I gave her the address.

Teresa is going to kill me.

What?

Let's go.

I had to see it to believe it.

My granddaughters came to Mexico
to become whores.

Fucking unbelievable.

Welcome to El Submarino.

Welcome to my homeland, Cayetana.

I've seen her somewhere before.

Who? The lady who just arrived?

No, her. The good-looking one.

Her face looks familiar.

I don't know who you're talking about.
Cheers.

To what do we owe the honor?

Don't tell me you like tequila.

If you do,
I've got the best tequila in Mexico.

I didn't cross an ocean

just to have a drink with you
in this dump.

Then say what you came to say and quickly
because I've got a short fuse today.

What are you doing here?

Charo, you lied to me.
You gave her the address?

Is this why you brought
my granddaughters here?

To turn them into whores?

So in addition to trafficking drugs,
you also traffic women.

Watch your mouth.

- We're not whores.
- It's not what it looks like.

Quiet, both of you!

We'll talk later.

Is this where you plan
to raise your daughter?

Is this the shitty life
you plan on giving Sofia?

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

You can shout and talk
however the fuck you want at your house,

but this is my property and my country,

so show some respect
before I drag you out by the hair.

No one's kicking me out of this rathole

without you and me
talking about Sofia first.

- Sofia is none of your business.
- Of course she is.

Sofia is my business
because she's my granddaughter.

- Oh, so now she's your granddaughter?
- Yes, now she is.

You came to Spain to do the DNA test.

You wanted me to show you mercy
and forgive you

for killing my son, her father!

- Grandmother, please.
- Shut up!

- Ma'am, calm down.
- Shut up!

Enough!

You dug your own grave
with that DNA test, murderer!

What the hell are you talking about?

Don't come here to start shit!

Much less to threaten Teresa!

I can tell you're a fascist
from a mile away!

Shut up! No one asked you, dog face!

Fuck you...

Please, please!

Calm down!

Get over here, if you dare!

Don't start with me!

Sheila, Sheila!

Let me go.

If you want to leave here alive,

hurry up and tell me what you have to say

and then fuck off.

- Don't make me...
- What?

Throw your whores on me to kill me?

Take this, Charo.

Bring it on.

Grandmother, stop.

I haven't forgotten
the warm welcome you gave me.

Didn't you sic one of your bulls on me?

Well, I can do the same.

We're a pack and you won't have
the same luck as me.

I believe you.
You'd kill me like you killed my son, Teo.

- What the hell are you talking about?
- Shut up!

Lower your voice. You're making a scene.

Teresa, please don't hurt her.
She's sick in the head.

Show some respect for your grandmother!

Whatever it is you have to say,
say it someplace else.

Tesa take her to the back office.

Follow me.

Give me that.

That Mexican is about to find out
who Cayetana Aljarafe is.

Let's loosen up!

Ahmed, beers for everyone on the house!

Come on!

Ma'am, order whatever you'd like.

No, hold on. Ill do it.

Wait, slowly.

I'll do it.

I don't know how it looks from the sky,

- but it's what I have for you.
- Gently.

Careful.

Be careful.

Move it gently.

What's that?

- Look.
- What is that?

In Spanish it means,
"Nothing here but Sofia."

No!

It looks great.

You're right.

Now you're in my heart.

Sofia: 1, Lupo: 0.

I'll get the drone.
You get the remote control.

I like being able to use my arm again.

You're getting good.

Come on.

- Should I turn it on?
- No.

No, I don't understand.

I don't know what this paper says.

You understand it perfectly.

You can't take my daughter from me.

Yes, I can,
and I'm not the one who says so.

A judge does.

Your daughter Sofia is under my custody.

I'm my granddaughter's legal guardian.

You have ten days
to appeal the judge's sentence

before a high court.

I wouldn't if I were you, though.

No one's going to give a child
to a drug dealer

who's also wanted
by Spanish authorities for murder.

I may be all of that,
but before any of it,

I'm Sofia's mother.

No one can take her from me.

Read.

I can.

You'll have to give her to me.

What part of "my daughter was kidnapped"
don't you understand?

I have no idea where she is.

She'll turn up soon enough
and I'll take care of her.

I won't allow my granddaughter to grow up

among whores, drug dealers, and murderers.

You don't care about my daughter.

You just want revenge.

Think whatever you want.

I couldn't care less.

Look at what I think
of your little court order.

Remember how I once told you
I wouldn't touch you

or return your slap?

If you keep testing me,
you'll see what I'm made of

and you'll regret it.

You think ripping up
a paper cancels a judge's orders?

I have several certificates already

and one of them is going
to the Spanish embassy in Mexico

so the police will look for
and find my granddaughter Sofia.

Look, Cayetana,

if you go to that embassy

and you fuck up my plans
to rescue my daughter in any way,

I swear I'll make you suffer

like a pig in a slaughterhouse.

Understand?

I put nothing past you,

but my lawyer in Spain knows
that if anything happens to me,

the entire weight of Spanish law
will fall on your head.

And worst off all,
Sofia will be sent to a foster home

and you'll never see her again.

I don't give a shit what your justice says

or some judge I don't even know.

I live for my daughter.

If you take her from me,
I won't have a reason to live,

but I will have a ton of reasons to kill.

So the chick who owns this bar
is your boss.

Who?

- Am I speaking Chinese or something?
- No, not at all.

Sorry, I was still thinking about the mess
that happened with that lady.

What were you saying?

Nobody makes a fool out of me.

Nobody's making a fool out of you.

Hey, don't go. Calm down.

This girl shows up and says
her sister is your girlfriend,

and you get all nervous and deny it.

Then I ask you for your boss's name
and you say you don't know.

She's not my boss!

Oh, please.

When you figure it out, call me.

We barely had time
to drop our bags off at the hotel.

Mrs. Cayetana didn't want to waste
a single second.

You don't know how sleepy I am.

Don't change the subject, Charo.

You tricked me.

You said you were sending my school stuff
just to get the address here.

I always pay
for what your grandmother does.

Regardless,
you shouldn't have given her the address.

What could I do, Rocio?

I'm there day and night putting up
with your grandmother's antics.

I've had it with being nice
and understanding.

Who tries to understand me?

What's done is done. Don't worry.

Don't get mad at us.

I am mad, damn it.

I'm human too.

I wanted to see you so badly,

and you haven't even given me a hug.

Come here.

What does Grandmother say
about my pregnancy?

What's she going to say?
It can't be mentioned.

She turns into a demon.

I'm not surprised.

You two don't stop upsetting her.

So to top things off, you take her side.

Come on, Charo. Throw us a bone.

Care to tell me
why you're dressed that way?

You look like two street walkers.

We can't tell you
because you tell Grandmother everything.

But if you're worried
about this being a brothel

or us two being whores, we're not.

Why are you dressed like that?

Ahmed, serve me a tequila, please.

And the cheese stands alone. Poor Ray.

He's so cute too.

Right.

Lately, every time Ray comes around
you get a little starry-eyed.

Starry-eyed?

Starry-eyed and cross-eyed.

You like that kid, don't you?

Like as in like like... yes.

I like him.

He's already chasing
two other bunnies, though.

Another would be too much.

Oleg, I'm worried about Teresa.

She's been up there way too long.

Tesa can defend herself.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I've heard terrible things
about that woman in Malaga.

They've been in there for a while.

I'll take care of it.

All of this is happening to me
because of you.

You sent your dogs
to hunt me down in Italy.

You were determined to find me
and if you hadn't,

I'd be happily celebrating
my daughter's birthday right now,

instead of living this hell
for which you're to blame!

Oh, Teresa.

Your hell now resembles mine.

How does it feel
to have a child taken away?

Now you know what I've suffered

since you killed my son, Teo.

Yes, but your son, Teo was a dog.

A piece of shit person and a criminal.

I won't tell you again.

You have two granddaughters,

but you don't care about them.

You're fixated on my daughter

because you want to get back at me.

What do you know
if I care about them or not?

Do you think I enjoy seeing
how you've brainwashed them

to get back at me?

Do you think I enjoy seeing
how you've turned them

into whores like you?

I'm not afraid of you, Mexican.

You can't kill a person twice.

You already killed me ten years ago.

Tesa.

She's not worth it.

Ma'am, you're pushing your luck.

Leave before it runs out.

You've been warned, Mexican.

As soon as my granddaughter, Sofia,
turns up, she's mine.

I don't want her to spend her life

running from the law like you.

Don't pay attention to her, Tesa.

She brought a court order.

She wants to take my daughter from me.

Charo, it's time to go.

Already? But you just got here.

All right, my loves.

Our time was short,
but I'm happy I got to see you.

Grandmother, can we talk for a minute?

About?

Your new family here?

About why you had to hide
in a third-world country?

About why you work at a brothel?

This isn't a brothel

and we're not what you're insinuating.

It's not what it looks like.

The emperor's wife
must not only play the part,

she must also look the part.

And what I see here are two whores!

Mrs. Cayetana,
don't talk about the girls like that.

The girls? Look at their tits!

Say goodbye.

Unless you want to stay here to work too.

No! Holy Mary!

Mother of God. Let's go.

All sentences can be appealed.

Tesa,

we're closer than ever
to getting Sofia back.

She wants to go to the embassy
to turn in that order

so the authorities will know.

Do you know what will happen
if she does that?

All of Mexico will know I'm here

and then my deal with Epifanio is fucked.

Zurdo will find out I'm using him as bait
to get my daughter back.

Everything will be fucked.

Calm down.

We just have to think.

I've never felt closer to losing a war.

I feel like I'll never see
my daughter again.

What are you saying?

Maybe that fucking hag is right.

Maybe she doesn't just want revenge.

Maybe she really wants
a better life for my daughter.

In the end,
I'm not giving her a good life.

She doesn't deserve this.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

[singing in Italian]

The happiness!

I know you've been thinking of me
a lot today, but don't worry

I've had a very good birthday

and I promise that for my next birthday
we'll go back to the sea.

Good morning.

Please take us to the airport,

but wait for the bellman
to bring our bags first.

From now on, I'm calling the shots.

Son of a bitch!

Stop the car or I'll kill you!

Help me! Pull hard!

Motherfucker!
