La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 56 - La irá del Zurdo - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

What's up, Teresita?

What do you want to tell me
about Alejandro?

Alejandro Alcala works
for the DEA, just like Lupo.

In fact, Alejandro is my boss
on this mission.

I never would have thought

to be planning this execution.

With all the fuzz they'll never know
who shot him.

Come on.

I swear this girl drives
me crazy, Cipriano.



- We'll buy you many flowers...
- Oh, no.

- high heels...
- You must be crazy.

Meanwhile, my stomach
was turning at the thought

of my son laying on the floor
with his head cracked open.

The girl must pay for
the other granddaughter's crime.

An eye for an eye, so my boy's soul
can rest in peace.

Epifanio, what are you doing here?

You said you wanted
to rest with my sister.

Come in. We're talking about the campaign.

The person who killed my wife and children

is named Epifanio Vargas.

Why are you still working for him?

You have to keep your enemies close

so you know what they're up to.



Just like the saying,

"If you wait by the river long enough,

the bodies of your enemies will float by."

Careful.

Slowly.

Bend down.

Hold on.

Let me go first.

Careful, dumb ass.

Wait, you idiot.

Fuck.

Little more.

Ouch.

That's with this place?
Couldn't you do better?

It's just for the night.

Remember, the streets are hot
since news of your escape broke.

The military and the federal police
are searching even baby carriages.

It's all for show.

No one can touch me.

How are we doing with money?

Those military sons of bitches
took everything from the ranch.

They raided all our stashes.

They kicked our asses!

Are these all the people we have?

We've got like 20 more.

What's up, boss?

What's on your mind?

Just one thing.

Teresa.

That bitch betrayed me twice,

but she's going to pay three times over.

Bring the Jew so he can hack the GPS.

Come on.

Hello?

What's up?

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

Allow me to introduce you
to Cristian Nuñez.

I just hired him as an advisor
for the final phase of the campaign.

I'm at your service, sir.

Is he doing Danilo's job?

No. He'll be more focused on propaganda
and political strategy.

We're in the homestretch, Epifanio.

One more month.

The homestretch.

You've had the presidency in your pocket

since news broke of Zurdo and his escape.

We're reinforcing all your security.

The Presidential Guard
would like to have a meeting

with you about that this week.

Of course. Security is very important.

That's why the news I have is so great.

I'm leaving!

What do you mean?

I'm going on vacation
with Bebita for a week

to recharge and come back re-energized

for the homestretch.

You can't go right now.

- What?
- That's impossible.

You have two rallies.
You have meetings with business execs.

The president wants to see you.
You can't go.

In fact, I forbid you from leaving.

Oh, shit.

So now I have to answer to you?

Don't be childish.

I'm doing this for your own good
and for the good of the campaign.

We can't lose our momentum
with the voters now.

Yes, you're winning in many states,
but by razor-thin margins.

We can't let our guard down.

Forgive me for interrupting you,
gentlemen,

but the candidate is right.

He's winning and his opponents know that.

They're going to hit him back hard.

It would be good to recharge
and get out of the limelight.

Let's say a week?

We can think about the strategy again

and make the final push
toward the finish line.

What do you think, Alejandro?

What you're saying seems reasonable.

Are you sure?

Yes.

This has been a long campaign,
and you deserve a break.

Neither you nor Beba have had
time for a honeymoon.

Not even a few days off.

It's time to clock out and disconnect.

You deserve it, Epifanio.

Go rest and regain your strength.

Just promise me that when you get back,

you'll have all the strength it takes

to become the president that Mexico needs.

Alejandro Alcala works
for the DEA, just like Lupo.

In fact, Alejandro is my boss
in this mission.

You, Epifanio, are a dead man walking.

The order has been given to eliminate you.

It's going to be a public execution.

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

I just thought that you would
give me more shit about this.

It's a win-win situation.
There's no problem.

What about the rallies and the meetings?

Don't worry, sir.
We're already rescheduling everything.

What will the reporters say?

Won't they say I'm too old
and tired to be president?

I'll take care of that. Don't worry.

Give us a minute.

I'll be outside.

Care to explain what's going on with you?

You're trying to fool me.

What are you talking about?

There are things you have kept from me.

Really? Like what?

Like Teresa Mendoza.

What about her?
What do you mean?

I thought we made a deal with her.

Every time I want to talk to her, I can't.

Then I bring her and her daughter up,

and you act dumb and change the subject.

What's going on with that?

You're right, Epifanio.

I haven't been completely
transparent about Teresa.

I have spoken to her.

There it is, you fucking traitor.

No, on the contrary.

You hired me to protect you
and that's what I'm doing.

Why do you want to listen
to Teresa Mendoza's calls?

All she does is threaten you

and you don't need that stress right now.

If Teresa Mendoza calls me,
I'm going to find out, idiot.

I know that!
But what do you want to hear?

That she wants to kill Epifanio Vargas

because he ruined her life?

That all she does is hate you every day?
What for?

Why do you want to know that?

Teresa is a manipulative woman
who will come up with anything

to get near us.

When Teresa spoke to me, she warned me

that she'd talk to the press
if she didn't find her daughter.

Why hasn't she called?

She's probably with her already.

How do you know?

Tell me.
Where's Batman? Where's Lupo?

You came up with that plan, didn't you?

- Yes!
- So?

You know her.

If she weren't with her daughter,
we would each have a bullet in our heads.

And what about Lupo? We paid him. He left!

Batman?

Who the hell knows what Batman is doing?

Anything else you want to know?

Teresa is a very manipulative woman

and a cold-blooded killer
who murdered your son.

Just remember that, Epifanio.

She'll do everything
in her power to destroy us.

If we haven't heard from her,
it's because she's planning.

She's trying to figure out
how to get rid of us.

I'll fill you in on a secret, though.

She won't be able to...
because we're family.

Come in.

Hi, sweetheart.

Batman.

What's up, Lupo?

What are you doing in my house
with Teresa Mendoza?

You know the answer.

I always asked you
and you denied it to my face.

Last I heard, they'd eliminated you.
Whose team are you on?

Batman, we can sit down for coffee
and talk about this some other day?

Let's cut to the chase. Yeah?

What was so important

that you had to tell
the Mexican in person?

Don't get cute. I don't have the time.

Not even for an old friend?

Oleg.

WASHINGTON DC, USA

Look at you.

Hey, hey.

- Hi, there.
- That's enough.

You said you had a high tolerance.

I'm seeing that.

- How are you?
- I'm fine.

- You are?
- I'm fine.

I'm just fine.

What a nice place. It's so cool.

- I come here a lot. I love the view.
- Uh-um.

- No.
- Yes.

No, I can't.
I can't drink anymore.

Yes, you can. Thank you.

- Last one.
- No, no.

Look at me.

We're going to have this last one.

Know why?

- Because of you.
- No.

Because we deserve it.

There you go.

Good job.

Okay.

You know what?

What?

Who cares? I don't.

In the end, it's better
to have no regrets.

What do you mean?

I'm drunk, not stupid.

I know you brought me here
to have sex with me.

If you want, we can have sex,
but only tonight.

Tonight I'm yours.

All yours.

Hold on.

- Are you sure?
- No.

I mean, I know I'll regret it tomorrow,
but tonight I don't care.

So kiss me.

Hey, hey.

Not here.

- Not here.
- Just a little kiss.

Ouch!

What a lovely couple.

Son of a bitch.

Seriously, though.

You enjoyed the kiss.

Shut up.

- You did.
- Fuck you.

- Yeah, you did like it.
- Be quiet, man!

What does your boyfriend have here?

- This. Something else?
- No.

That's when I called the doctor

because the Russian was about to croak.

But we gave it our all,

and I saved him for you, Teresa.

No wonder you were
so secretive the last time I was here.

You slammed the door in my face.
This is what you were hiding.

That doesn't matter anymore.

No, but Sheila isn't fooled so easily.

I'm sorry.

Oleg!

I'm so ha... Sorry, sorry.

I'm just so happy you're alive.

We have missed you a lot.

Thank you, Sheila.

I missed you all a lot too.

Tessa,

I know what you're thinking.

You did what you had to that day.

It wasn't easy.

I didn't want to leave you there.

You left because I asked you to.

I abandoned you... like a dying dog.

It's called survival.

You had no choice.

We have a lot to talk about.

Batman gave me some news,

but there are some things
I don't understand

and I think you're in danger...

like never before.

Teresa already knows
the whole truth about me.

Francesco and Lupo are the same person.

He's the one who kidnapped my daughter.

That's why I was always
so suspicious of you.

You always turned up
at the perfect moment to help Tessa.

Always watching her

and passing along information about us.
Son of a...

This man kidnapped your daughter!

Because of him, Sofia is dead!
What's the matter with you?

No, wait!

Sofia is alive.

Oleg, Sofia is alive. She's safe.

She's very far from here.
No one can find her.

I saved her thanks to Lupo.

She's alive.

That's great news, Teresa.

I learned to love that kid.

If Epifanio or Alejandro Alcala find out

about what I just said, I swear on my life

I'll put a bullet where it hurts most.

Got it?

Never forget that.

You're not just my brother-in-law,

you're my nephew's father

and the man who'll care for my sister
the rest of her life.

Trust me, if I didn't believe in you,
if I didn't love you,

this would've been over a long time ago.

You're not easy to deal with.

Damn, Alex.

Epifanio, if I had to give
my life for you, I would.

It would be an honor.

All right.

Enjoy your vacation.
I'll take care of the campaign.

You know what?

Don't cancel anything.

- Why?
- I think you're right.

This isn't the time to retreat.

It's the time to step forward. Right?

So, let me sleep on it.

- Huh?
- Whatever you say.

- Thanks, Alex.
- You're welcome.

What would I do without you?

Let's go.

All set.

I have everything.

I went through his pictures
and he seems like a good guy.

He must not know what kind
of bastard he's with.

Hey, are you going or am I?

There are lots of cameras in the hotel,
and what I do best is go undercover.

- Meet you back here in an hour.
- Okay.

Take care of your boyfriend.

- I'll wait here, so we can leave.
- Okay.

A few final kisses?

Jimena.

I need to see you.

We've got to talk.

Without knowing, Manuela herself
told me Lupo was on my side.

That's why they captured him
and took him to Washington.

And the Mexican rescued him with
one of her action movie plans.

So, Oleg, as much as it hurts...

Lupo, Francesco, Michele,
or whatever his name is,

helped save Sofia.

All right.

I'll trust your instincts.

Although they failed you with this guy.

Where do we go from here, Tessa?

The big news is that Zurdo...

escaped from the hospital he was in.

That's the biggest threat to Teresa.

If Zurdo Villa escaped the military,

it's because Epifanio Vargas helped.

Of course.

All he wanted was for Zurdo to admit

he had been funneling money
to Mariano Bravo.

We have to stop Epifanio Vargas
from becoming president by all means.

and I know how to do it.

We've got a bomb.

You're never going to believe it.

Well, you can't set that bomb off.

You can't imagine how badly
I want revenge on that idiot.

But right now, our priority
is Alejandro Alcala.

Isn't Alejandro just one
of Epifanio's pawns?

That's what we thought, but no.

The errand boy turned out to be
a chess master,

and if we don't get rid of him,

my daughter and I
will always be in danger.

So Teresa is the red dot.

That's right, boss.

The GPS that's on her was made in Israel.

That's why I'm familiar with it.

It wasn't easy to hack,
but the best part of the device

is that it gives you an exact location.

So that's her hideout.

No, that's just where she is now.

We already located the house
where she's hiding.

We're just waiting for instructions.

What matters is that Teresa not find out

that we've located her.

This gives me more time
to plan her capture.

You've spent your entire life

trying to screw over Epifanio Vargas

and now that I'm putting him
on a silver platter,

you say you want Alejandro?

He has nothing to do with anything.

- What's wrong with you?
- What's going on, Tessa?

The objective was to take down Epifanio

and rescue your daughter.

- What did I miss?
- Everything.

So much has happened
these last few days, Oleg.

Every since they took Lupo to Washington.

That's where he found out
about the real operation.

The gringos don't want Epifanio
to be president anymore.

The order now is
to take him out of the game.

What?

The gringos decide Mexican elections?

The gringos are going
to take out Epifanio Vargas

in order to elevate Alejandro Alcala.

The next president of Mexico
is Alejandro Alcala...

unless we kill him first.

My goodness! This is like a spy movie.

- It's the perfect plan.
- Of course.

It's the perfect plan,
and we fell for it like idiots.

We can't leave things like this.

We have to do something.

I never thought I'd say this,

but our best move right now
is to support Epifanio.

Hell no!

We have to kill that son of a bitch.

The only blood that will help
my family rest in peace

is Epifanio Vargas'!

I don't give a rat's ass
what the gringos say!

You guys don't understand anything!

You gave birth to a daughter, right?

You saw her grow up.

You've got her hiding somewhere,
but she's alive!

What do I have?

I've been swallowing my rage
all these years!

Singing then "Happy Birthday"
at the cemetery

and living with their memory!

Crying in the room every night

where that son of a bitch Ratas
shot them down like dogs!

Batman, we understand you.

You don't understand shit!

If you did, you wouldn't be treating
Epifanio Vargas

like an innocent lamb.

If the gringos want to kill him,
I'll do it for free!

I'll pull the trigger!

Batman, please calm down.

I swear I understand you.

When I saw that plane blow up,

I thought the plan had failed

and that my daughter was dead.

In two seconds, my life was over.

Yeah, but she turned out to be alive!

And you could breathe again.

What do I have?

Who's going to bring back my family?

We're not justifying Epifanio,

but if we want to get rid of the problem,

we have to kill Alejandro Alcala.

Listen to me, Batman.

This is the only way to be
a step ahead of the gringos.

The evidence you showed
me can be used at any time.

If you've been waiting all these years
to get back at Epifanio,

you can wait a little more.

Look... all I'm asking for is patience.

And for you to trust me.

I swear on my life

that we'll make Epifanio pay
for everything he's done to us.

I swear.

MALAGA, SPAIN

Wow, Yaya.
You look so pretty.

It fits like a glove, Mrs. Cayetana.

I don't know. I feel strange.

I look...

too red.

What are you saying?

You've always liked wearing
bright, stylish clothing.

Yes, but that was before.
What will I wear this dress for now?

You're only saying that because
you never leave the house.

She's right about that.

There's nothing worth seeing out there.

All you need is a new hairdo.

What are you talking about?

I promise that with this new hairdo

you'll find a new boyfriend.

Charo, this girl is a little devil.

I'm a Yaya now. A boyfriend?

You're going to look 20 with this hairdo

and men are going to line up
and drool over you.

Oh, Sofia. You say the darnedest things.

Who put these curtains here?

You'll see.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Mrs. Charo, Mr. Pepe...

I have the honor of presenting to you

the wonderful, amazing, fantastic...

This girl. This girl.

Mrs. Cayetana Aljarafe!

Bravo!

Grandma.

Give us a turn.

I'm going to fall.

- Do you like it?
- Close your mouth!

- This girl.
- You look so pretty.

Damn it.

Lencho!

Lencho.

I have your water now.

Here. What's up?

Teresa is home.

You know what to do.

Got it.

I had to see it to believe it!

Oleg!

Careful.

Don't do what the bullet couldn't.

Careful, Conejo.

You're right. I'm such a dummy.

Sit down.

You don't know how much
we have cried over you

and how much we missed you.

Yeah. We've missed you so much.

Welcome, Oleg.

- It's a miracle.
- Thank you.

Welcome back to life, pal.

Thank you... pal!

You must be very tired.

The last few hours have been very intense.

You rescued me in Washington,

you confronted Epifanio,

and now Oleg.

Yeah.

Only Zurdo Villa is missing.

Oleg is right.

He must be planning a major attack.

Have you heard from Jonathan or Ray?

Yeah, they're on their way back.

Well... it's time for me to go.

Hey.

How can you leave?

You can't go anywhere.

They'll catch you.

Everyone is looking for you.

Stay at least for tonight.

They're the ones who told Alejandro Alcala

to approach you in prison.

Know what the order was?
For him to be your lifesaver.

They told him to infiltrate
your inner circle,

become your friend,

and even introduce you to his sister.

Teresa is a very manipulative woman

and a cold-blooded killer
who murdered your son.

She'll do everything
in her power to destroy us.

I'll fill you in on a secret, though.

She won't be able to,
because we're family.

Those guys are the ones

who trained Alejandro Alcala
to weasel his way into your life,

and now he's even your brother-in-law.

You're not just my brother-in-law.

You're also my nephew's father

and the man who'll care for my sister
the rest of her life.

When and where
are they going to assassinate me?

It'll be very soon.

The elections are just around the corner.

Alejandro is probably working
on that right now.

If I had to give my life for you, I would.

It'd be an honor for me.

I still can't believe you're alive.

And I still can't believe
you're with the Italian.

Right.

Well, look...

I don't think anything I say
will change your mind.

And the truth is, I don't have
much to say anyway.

I blew it big time.

Boris Pasternak, a writer from my country,

said he didn't like people
who had never failed

because life had never shown
them its true beauty.

For better or worse,

I believe him.

I believe him.

He saved my daughter
when he had no reason to.

He did it because he cares.

I only hope he'll keep helping us...

because now we have to deal
with Zurdo Villa.

Yes...

We still have many battles
to fight, many new fronts.

But not all are fought the same way.

The war against Zurdo Villa
has to be tactical.

We need to cut off his resources.

I don't understand.

You learned more about his financial
operations than anyone.

You know where his money is.

Cut off his funds.

That operation needs to be quick
and by surprise.

We need to catch him with his pants down.

Exactly.

We need to take every precaution, though.

Zurdo is like an injured animal right now,

and those are the most dangerous.

How are you feeling, boss?

Much better.

I've got a score
to settle with Teresa today.

Our men have been watching

her house since last night,
like you asked.

Just say the word, and they'll move in.

No, none of that.

I want to look her in the eye.

We have a lot to talk about.

Let's go, Lencho.

Take this.

Come.

There you go.

- Thank you.
- Careful there.

Got it.

Good morning, sweetie.

You're probably still sleeping.

Just wanted to say hi and tell you

it's going to be a long day
and I won't make it back to Washington.

I'll call you later to explain.

I don't know if your job makes me laugh,
or feel sorry for you.

So many secrets, so many calls
where you have to whisper.

Can we have breakfast in peace
for a change?

Sure.

How's the baby?

How else?

How else would he be? He's perfect.

He's going to have his mother's beauty

and his father's intelligence.

Well?

Let's go to the rally.

It won't lead itself.

Aren't you going to have breakfast first?

No, we're running late.

We'll get breakfast on the road.

Okay.

Don't leave yet. Wait.

What do you want now, Bebita?

I thought we agreed
that I was going with you.

I don't think that's a good idea.

There are a lot of people, a lot of chaos.

- We can't...
- I invited her.

Did you think she got all dressed up

to serve you breakfast?

Come on, Bebita. Let's go, sweetie.

MR. BUBBLE
ON SALE

She's over here.

There she is.

Did anyone follow you?

No, we were careful.

Did you do it?

It was a very long night, but yes.

Everything worked out
as planned in Washington.

That's right.

I'd never flown so low
to avoid the radars.

I think Ray's mission
was a lot harder, though.

Come. I'll show you where he is.

There you have him.

Wake up. Are you okay?

Where am I?

Who are you people?

- What am I doing here! Where am I!
- Calm down.

What did you do to me? Who are you people?

My name is Teresa. He's a friend.

If this is a kidnapping or extortion,
I don't have any money.

My family's poor
and what I make is barely...

Hey! Hush.

Look, I feel truly bad
for putting you in this position,

but this is a war

and sometimes in war,

the innocent pay
for the crimes of the guilty.

Which is what we have here.

Which way?

Hold on.

Look, look.

If this thing is right, it's over there.

What is that?

It says "Señor Bubble".

What the hell is that?

What are you talking about?

I don't know you or you.

I don't know what you're talking about!
Why am I here? Help!

Teresa, Teresa!

Andrew?

It was you.

We have company. Someone followed you.

Hey!

Hey!

I'll help you, boss.

No!

Wait up, boss!

Wait. Boss, why don't you stay in the car?

If they shoot at us,
you won't be able to run.

No.

Teresa doesn't know we're here.

I want to see her face-to-face
like the last time.

- Check this out.
- Let me see.

Zoom in.

It's Zurdo Villa.

How did he find you?

I have no idea,
but the war has just started.

Let's go.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

Keep your distance.
She can't find out we're behind her.

I am, boss.

No!

You fucking bitch!

You're going to die!

You're my family!

I'm keeping my promises to you!

For a just Mexico with...
