La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 44 - La propuesta del amor - full transcript

Teresa gives Epifanio information and speaks with her team about what each of them plan to do going forward, once the mission had ended.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

...you sure it's undetectable?

It's impossible
for Zurdo's radars to trace it.

My safety is in your hands.

If Zurdo finds out
I've got that thing there

or that I tapped his phone,
I'm dead.

What's my daughter's diagnosis?

Sister, you're not sick.

You're pregnant.

Am I really pregnant?



Congratulations and rest up.

- Damn! Sweetie!
- We're going to have a baby!

You never answered me.
Will I see you again?

When your mother finds out
I'm your kidnapper,

she's going to want to put
a bullet in my head.

Finish packing.

We have to take you to Culiacan.

What's up, man?

Teresa just left my house.

She finally gave in.
I've got a date with her tomorrow.

Congrats, man!

- Are you in Mexico yet?
- Yes, sir.

There you have it.
Zurdo doesn't suspect a thing.

Zurdo is in our hands.



Tomorrow's the day.
Here's the hotel address.

You can send the military tomorrow
at one o'clock to capture Zurdo Villa,

if you return my daughter
at the same time.

CULIACAN, MEXICO

Twenty-four hours is not enough time
to plan Zurdo Villa's capture.

This isn't child's play...

Come on, you've been waiting
for this for so long.

If you're not ready,
then that's your problem.

You have your instructions.

I'll do my part, you do yours
and we never see each other again.

Teresa's right.

She's given us the keys
to Villa's kingdom.

Tomorrow, Mexico will know
that fucker is backing Mariano

and he'll have to drop out
of the running.

I can already picture myself
in Los Pinos, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Let's go over the mission.

You claim that you'll be in room 804
with Zurdo Villa at one o'clock.

Hey!

I'll arrive a little earlier
to make sure everything's ready.

Thank you.

All you need to know is
that five minutes after one o'clock,

I'll come up with an excuse
to leave the room.

At 1:05, no earlier, no later,

you can call in the heavy artillery
so they can arrest him.

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Once you arrest him,
you'll have exactly ten minutes

to return my daughter to me.

In order to pull this off,
we'll have to close all hotel entrances,

set up a perimeter
in the adjacent streets,

bring in snipers, and keep
an eye on Zurdo's security detail.

- He won't travel alone, Epifanio.
- Listen, pretty boy.

Zurdo Villa doesn't know
we're setting him up.

We're catching him off guard.

He thinks he's meeting me,
not the Mexican Navy.

How will you escape the raid?

That's my problem.
Know yours?

Returning my daughter to me.
Let's talk about Sofia.

Ten minutes after Zurdo's arrest,
not before or after,

I'll pick her up in person.

She is to wait for me at the location
I've mentioned there.

The area is big enough
for a helicopter to land.

You're coming by helicopter, sweetheart?

The authorities will get suspicious.

Everything is under control.

Just follow my instructions.

That all sounds very nice,

but if we don't destroy
Zurdo Villa's economic structure

it won't do us any good.

Having Mariano become president

would benefit him
because he'd be pardoned.

If we don't put an end
to the donations Mariano receives,

then this was all for nothing,
and it doesn't matter if we catch him.

Shut up, asshole! Shut up!
All you say is fucking nonsense.

The location of Zurdo's ranch,
El Parral, is also in there.

How about this Teresa Mendoza?

She did what the DEA
and the Mexican government couldn't.

She handed us the keys
to Zurdo Villa's palace.

Both missions must take place
at the same time.

While some are arresting Zurdo
at the hotel,

the others will raid his ranch.

I've included a map of the bunker
and the entry code.

If the missions are carried out
at the same time,

no one will tip off Zurdo
about what's happening at his ranch.

Once you make it to the bunker,

you'll have everything you need
to know about the Villa Cartel.

The keys to the kingdom.
Checkmate.

Get your guns! Get everything!

No wonder the Spaniards named you
the Queen of the South.

This is all well and good,
but I'll have to confirm it.

Could you tell this asshole
it's all been confirmed?

If I wanted to trick you,

I wouldn't have waited months to do it.

I did my part.

Now, I get my daughter back.

You'll have until 1:15
to return my daughter.

If you decide to do something else,

anything that strays
from the instructions I handed over,

this all goes up in smoke.

Mexico will know I'm back
and why I came back.

There's no need for threats,
sweetheart.

You'll get your daughter back
and that's the end of that.

In no time at all,
you and I will be having tequila.

You'll never see me again.

As soon as my daughter is with me,
I'll go somewhere

where neither you
nor the DEA can find me.

I wouldn't want to be needed again.

Relax, ma'am.

By this time tomorrow you'll be free,
and none of this will have ever happened.

I don't want any tricks or traps.

This isn't a warning.
It's a fucking threat.

I'm not a killer like you.

Let's say it doesn't come
as easy to me as it does to you,

but I do make exceptions.

You sure turned out
to be suspicious, sweetheart.

I swear on my honor as a Boy Scout

that everything will turn out just fine.

And you know what else?

I'm going to miss you.

Well, I won't miss you, sir.

Oh!

Since we'll never see each other
ever again,

I wanted to congratulate you
for the baby on the way.

I hope you don't suffer
as much as I have.

Oh, no! You don't have children.

But I'm sure you have a special someone.

Cherish that person.

Congratulations, Mr. President.

Fuck yeah, man!

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

CULIACAN, MEXICO

Oh, the sadness is starting
to get to me.

I have to leave just
as I was growing fond of tequila

- and the South American.
- You really are dumb, Sheila.

How many times do I have to tell you
that Mexico isn't in South America?

You know what I mean, right? Then?

Wow! You get so intense
when you get into teacher mode.

That was my profession, Sheila.

Oh, all right.

I'm very nervous.

You don't want to leave either,
am I right?

I knew this day would come, but...

I didn't want to think about it.

I don't know what to say to Teresa.

I'm not at all interested
in returning to Malaga.

That and you have the hots
for Teresa's nephew

and you still hope you'll get
to sleep with him.

Who? Ray? You're dead wrong.
I'm not interested in him.

Listen, this is my profession.
I can smell, sense, and see desire.

I've hooked up with better guys, okay?

Besides,
he's too busy toying with women.

He's crazy about the girl
who comes by Submarino,

but then he goes
and turns poor Paloma's ear on.

You're right.

Men are shameless.

If I told you what I've been through...

At least Batman
and Ahmed are going for you.

Ahmed?

Ahmed is ancient history.
He's like a brother to me.

And Batman, well,

I started fucking him to find out
what he knew about Teresa,

about whom he said nothing.

But as time went by...

I ended up taking a liking
to our romp sessions.

What's the matter?

I really wanted to meet Sofia.

I hate having to leave Teresa.

I've always loved her like a daughter.

You know, Sheila...

there's no one waiting for me anywhere.

Teresa and Sofia are my only family.

You know what, Marcela?

Why don't the two of us go away together?

What do you say? Like Thelma and Louise.

With the money Teresa has given us,
we could go to the moon if we wanted.

And you... could have any man you want.

And I could go to school.

Yes, I could read all the books
you're always telling me about.

No, I'm in no mood
to be thinking of men, Sheila.

Me neither.

Why don't you and I get together?

What are you talking about?
I don't like women.

Me neither.

But at our age,
we should all become dykes

to fuck with all those assholes.

You're right about that.

Sheila, Sheila.

I'm really going to miss your wit...

and how relaxed you are.

And I'm going to miss
your literature classes,

Professor Conejo.

Have you talked to the Colombian?

No.

You want to go with him, don't you?

I don't know, Paloma.
There's a lot going on in my head.

You're in love. That's what's going on.

Your heart wants you to go with him,
but your brain doesn't allow it.

How do you know?

I've already been through it, Rocio.

You said it was crazy for me
to leave with Juan.

Don't compare me to you.
This is different.

Juan was an abusive, spoiled brat.

On the other hand, there's Faustino.

- I don't know...
- Faustino is a drug dealer.

He's very handsome,
romantic and whatever else,

but he's a drug trafficker.

Have you considered
what your life will be like with him?

Do you want to go through
what Teresa is going through?

If you leave with him,

you're in for a rough awakening.

Why is everything so damn hard?

You tell me.

I'm a mess because
of my situation with Ray.

Have you thought
about what to do about him?

No. I don't know.

He's a great guy,
but he won't make up his mind.

Put yourself in his position.

It must be very difficult to raise
a child that isn't yours.

I think that's
why he hasn't made up his mind.

Excuse me.
Teresa is expecting us.

Yes, we already packed our bags.

- What are you going to do?
- Me?

I haven't packed my bag yet.

There's not much to pack anyway
so it's okay.

That's not what I mean.

Don't play dumb because you're really not.

Rocio.

I'd like to know of your plans
and if they include Paloma.

It's none of your business.

Paloma's right.
That's between her and me.

You slept with her
knowing she was pregnant.

- What is it? Are you scared now?
- No, that's not it.

So you talked her into keeping the baby...

No, no one talked me
into doing anything!

I don't know what you're talking about.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

Really, Ray?

Do I look like an idiot to you?

Are you falling for the girl
who comes to visit you?

Jimena's just a friend.

Do you fuck all of your friends?

- What are you playing at, Ray?
- Rocio, that's enough.

I think he's just like Juan.

All talk, no walk.

You sure love getting involved
with spoiled brats.

I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.

Then just be quiet.

Teresa is expecting us.

Got it.

Tomorrow I will take the child
to the location the mother requested.

- Teresa will arrive via helicopter.
- Right.

Wear a ski mask
so Teresa doesn't recognize you.

I know how to do my job.
Isn't that why you pay me?

Has Teresa mentioned the drop off?

Not yet. We're meeting tonight.

What will Francesco Belmondo do
to vanish from her life?

That's my problem.

As soon as you hand over the girl,
you disappear forever.

I understand.

This is your second to last payment.

You'll receive the final one
when you reach Italy.

The child will be here soon. I'm leaving.

I don't trust that asshole.

He's falling for Teresa.

Yes, I think so too.

But he's also a mercenary
who loves money.

He'll do his job.

And if he doesn't?

I'll hire someone to wipe him off the map.

Oh!

People mistake being cool
with being fucking stupid.

Anyone who meets me,
regardless of who they are,

thinks I'm very cool.
And it's true, isn't it?

That doesn't mean
you can fucking fool me, does it?

No, boss. Please forgive me.
I swear I never meant to...

Lencho.

What?

- You didn't want to.
- No.

But the thing is that you told the cops

where we kept one of our trucks,
which was worse.

You blabbed because you're stupid.

If traitors don't get second chances,
then idiots don't either.

No.

What, man?

Do you know what my great granddad,

General Villa, would do to traitors?

He'd give them a chance
to see their kids and wife

before he executed them.

Really?

He gave them that chance.

That's a nice hat, goddamn it.

Come on, man.

Guys!

My granddad would do
what I was just telling you about.

But I...

- will send them your regards.
- No!

Boss, please don't!
Please forgive me!

Don't be sad. Calm down.
Shut up or it'll be worse!

Don't be sad
because your family won't lack anything.

Your kids don't deserve to have
a fucking rat for a father!

- They don't deserve it!
- No, boss!

Let me explain, boss. Please?

I swear I only did it
because my kid is sick.

Virgin of Guadalupe,

please don't let anything happen to me.

Thank you, boss!

Thank you for sparing me, boss.

That fucker pissed himself.
He's so fucking scared.

This fucker...

Boss, I did it because I had to.

I swear it won't happen again, sir.

Now!

Sorry.
He was your best friend, huh?

Teresa can't know about this.

I want her to continue to trust me.

She needs to see
how everyone bows down to me.

Go on.

Oh, fuck.

Tomorrow's mission will be difficult
and dangerous,

- but if all goes well...
- Of course it will, sweetheart.

If all goes well,

tomorrow at this time
I'll be with my daughter

on a flight to... a faraway place.

Have you all decided
what you're going to do?

What matters is
that you'll get your daughter back.

The rest of us will have to figure it out.

Okay, but Conejo,
I can't abandon all of you.

Plus, we can't leave any loose ends.

Have you spoken to your grandmother?

Yes, she knows
she's going back to Spain.

She questioned us,
but we didn't tell her anything.

Perfect.

Her flight departs two hours
after Sofia and I leave.

I planned it like that
becauseI don't want Cayetana

to do anything to mess up my plan.

So those of you who want
to return to Spain

will have to fly with her.

Isn't there another flight?

Spending ten hours
with her isn't all that easy, is it?

Well,

have you made up your minds?

Do you know
what you're going to do?

Well, I...

With the money you've given me,

I can return to Morocco
and live without any worries

for the rest of my life.

There's nothing tying me to Mexico...

or Spain.

Ahmed, you will find
a wonderful woman.

You're a good man
and you deserve the life you want.

Thank you for helping me,
my dear friend.

Don't look at me, Mexican.
I'm always a mess.

My heart says one thing
and my brain says another.

It's up to you.

All I ask is that you do it quickly.

You have 24 hours, okay?

- Okay.
- You know what I want.

You're the one who has to decide.

If you join Sofia and me,

you'll spend the rest
of your life in hiding.

That will never change.

I want to spend whatever time
I have left with a family.

You're the closest thing
I have to that.

I've made up my mind.
I'm coming with you.

All right.

What about you?

We don't have many options.

We can't return to Spain.

And well,

I have to talk to Faustino.
I'll decide what to do then.

Right, but please be very careful.

Sanchez Godoy can't know
about what I'm going to do to Zurdo.

Relax, I won't tell the Colombian.

What about you, Paloma?

I have no idea, Teresa.

The baby complicates everything.

I'm really scared.

There's no need to be. Calm down.

You're not alone. You have me.

If you have nowhere to go,
you can come with me.

I thought you'd talked...

Things should be calmer now
in the United States,

so I think I can reunite with my mother.

I understand.
Send Margaret my regards.

But do something for me, Ray.

Before you leave,
talk everything over with Paloma.

All that's left is for me
to tell you all that...

I'll always owe you my life.

Thank you for everything, my friends.

I love you with all my heart.

An official press conference, Danilo.

We'll start at around 1:30
after the president speaks.

I want everyone there.

Friends, enemies,

renowned journalists.
The more the better.

Right, but could you tell me
a little more?

The press will ask for more
before opting to show up.

Tell them Epifanio Vargas is going
to give important information.

That's all they need to know.

Don't tell them the president will host
a press conference

because not even he knows he is.

I don't understand, babe.
You totally lost me.

Your job isn't to understand,

but to get things done.
That's what I pay you to do.

I fucking hate it
when you talk to me like that.

You're right, though.
That's why you pay me.

I'll get it done. Bye.

General, pleasure to see you.

How are you, Alejandro?

- Very well.
- How's your father?

He's well. Thank you for asking.

Why this secret meeting?

Tell me, are you interested
in becoming a brigadier general?

No?

Better yet, would you like to be

the next Secretary of Defense
of the Republic of Mexico?

I'd say that my country comes first

and that so long
as I can fulfill my duty to it...

Drop the act, General.
We're not at a rally.

I'm serious here.

I want to hand over to you
the grand prize.

Mexico's most-wanted man will be
in room 804 at one o'clock tomorrow.

Zurdo Villa.

Do you finally realize
I'm serious about this,

General Rodriguez Quiroga?

My room is here.

Your room will be right here.

We'll be on the hotel's top floor.

Above us, the rooftop,
where a helicopter will be waiting

to help you escape the raid.

Ten minutes later
you'll be picking up your daughter.

Will Jonathan be piloting the helicopter?

- Yes, just like you asked.
- Okay.

He won't have any ID on him,
nor the helicopter any markings.

- He'll have a gun for you.
- Great.

Shall we go over the plan?

Yes. Let's see.

At 1:05 I'll come up with an excuse
to leave the room

and I'll leave Zurdo there.

Then I'll run to the stairs that are...

- Is this it? Yes.
- Yes.

That will take me to the rooftop

where Jonathan will be waiting
for me in the helicopter.

He can't start the engine,
so as not to alert Zurdo.

Is Epifanio clear on everything?

He'd better be.

I handed him and his trained monkey
that's always with him

the same blueprints,
so I hope he is.

Let's see.

Sofia will be here and I'm going
to land in this field.

It'll take me about two minutes
to get her on the helicopter.

And as soon as you do,
you'll head straight to the airport.

I still can't believe it.

I'm going to get to see
and hold my daughter again.

I'll miss that wonderful occasion.

I know.

Thanks for everything, Oleg.

You've sacrificed everything for me.

You sacrificed your retirement,
your family.

You escaped Russia,
and you did it all for me,

to help rescue Sofia.

I'll never forget it.

I'm going to really miss you, man.

Our friendship is worth
more than a thousand loves, Teresa.

I know.

And I'll never forget it.

You're the only man who knows
where I'm headed.

Do you know what you'll do?

Like I said, I'll go to the desert...
in northern Australia.

I want to be surrounded
by kangaroos and koalas.

I want to go to the end of the world.

What about the Italian?

Francesco just got in to Culiacan today.

He's going to raise kangaroos with you?

It's either that or we say goodbye.

He has a life in Italy

and I can't go back there.

Regardless of what you decide,

you can count on me unconditionally.

The two-pronged attack
against Zurdo Villa is key.

On the one hand,
a regiment must arrest him at the hotel.

But also, and this is very important,

the detachment that secures
El Parral Ranch

will also have to secure
the information in his bunker.

That's crucial.

It also needs to happen
at that particular time

so Zurdo Villa can't react.

Are you sure Zurdo is at this hotel?

This is the kind of mission
that could end a career.

Or it could catapult it.

Trust me.

By this time tomorrow,
you will be a hero.

The general who captured
Mexico's most-wanted criminal.

One more thing.

After your men capture him
and you inform the president,

tell him Zurdo's first words

were that he was financing
Mariano Bravo's campaign.

- I can't say something...
- Do you still not trust me, General?

Do it.

When you have everything held
in Zurdo Villa's bunker,

you'll be able to prove
everything I'm telling you.

There's no time to waste now.

Do what I ask and tomorrow Mr. Vargas

will be able to announce during
an official press conference

that you'll be
his next Secretary of Defense.

Deal?

Deal.

It's always a pleasure to see you,
Mr. Secretary of Defense.

I used to come here often.

I loved sitting here
and watching the waves.

Back then, I had no idea

I'd spend half of my life in Europe.

Why did you ask
I come see you so urgently?

I wanted to see you.

What is it?

This isn't like our other meetings.

I'm getting my daughter back tomorrow.

Really?

That's wonderful! Aren't you happy?

I won't be until I have her
with me and I'm holding her.

I'm sure everything will work out.

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

As soon as I get my daughter back,

the two of us will disappear

and I don't intend to go to Europe.

Sooner or later
this was going to happen.

Yes, and I wanted to ask
if you wanted to disappear with us.

I understand your silence.

It's like you're mourning, isn't it?

No, no.

We're both adults and we knew
this would end like this.

Teresa, it's not...

Look, you don't have to justify yourself,
much less to me.

I knew it, you knew it. It's fine.

What happened between us happened
and it's over now.

It will always be there.

We can't keep trying to justify it,
though.

If we do, we'll tarnish it.

So... is this goodbye?

Yes.

Even though I hate goodbyes

because I've had
to say goodbye to so many.

In fact,

when I die, I want...

a huge party with mariachis.

I want everyone to be happy.

So yes, this is the end.
Why don't we toast to that?

Cheers!

To the end, to you.

To Teresa Mendoza,
the bravest woman I've ever met.

What do you mean
you're leaving with Teresa

and don't know when you'll be back?

Are you leaving to the Bermuda Triangle
or something?

Tell me what's going on.

My little vampire, you're very nervous.

Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking.

What are you talking about?

You trying to dump me?

No, no. No way.

That's not it.

Oh, all right. I feel better now.

So what's all this about the trip?

What's going on?
Is it because of Teresa's kid?

I can't tell you
what I don't know, Faustino.

All right, my little vampire.
I won't ask again.

But since you're leaving,

and I don't know
when you're coming back,

it's time.

- My little vampire...
- Faustino, get up.

I know what I'm about to ask
must be very obvious to you

because you've seen it in movies,

but here goes.

Will you marry me?

Are you crazy?

It's beautiful.

That means yes, doesn't it?

I can't.

What? No.

No, no.

That wasn't... the answer
I was expecting.

If you want to, you can.

Here's what we'll do.

I'll ask again.

Do you want to marry me, babe?
Yes or no?

Sorry.

I saw the door was open

and I thought it'd be
a good time to talk.

There's nothing to say, Ray.

I get that you want to return
to the States to be with your mom.

She must be missing you a lot,
and she'll be thrilled to see you.

I miss my mother too. And my father.

But as you can see,
I have no one and no place to go.

No, no.

That's not true.

You and Rocio have one another.

You're very lucky to have
a sister like her.

She worries about you

and protects you from idiots like me.

Yes, but Rocio has
her own happiness to worry about.

I can't be a burden to her
for the rest of her life.

The same applies to you, Ray.

Don't worry. I'll figure it out.

Don't say that.
You have to think of your baby.

You're right.

Have you talked to Jimena?

About what?

You going to the States.

Yes.

No, not really.

Yes or no? What's going on?

Paloma...

I...

What are you doing?

I'm not interested in Jimena.

I just want to be with you.

On time as usual, Kira.

What would you like me to do
with the money we stole from Teresa, sir?

It'll go to the campaign.

First, the mission.

I'm all ears.

Today is our most important day...

and I don't trust Lupo.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

When we looked into Teresa,

- there was a Spaniard.
- Yeah?

The guy that turned up dead.
That got her pregnant.

What was his name?

Teo... Teo Aljarafe
or something like that.

Sofia Aljarafe.
