La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 57 - El atentado - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

[Zurdo] That red dot is Teresa.

Hacking it wasn't easy,

but the best part
is that the device

gives us her exact location.

The important thing is
for Teresa to remain unaware

of the fact we know
where she is.

[Zurdo] That way I can
plan her capture.

[Oleg] What's going on, Tesa?

The idea was to destroy Epifanio



and rescue your daughter.

A lot has happened
these past few days, Oleg,

[Teresa] ever since they took Lupo
to Washington.

He learned about the operation
that concerned me.

[Lupo] The Americans no longer want
Epifanio as president.

The order now is to eliminate
him.

The next president of Mexico
will be Alejandro Alcala.

[Teresa] That's if we don't kill him
first.

She will do absolutely anything
to destroy us,

but she won't succeed
because we're family.

[Alejandro] You're not just my
brother-in-law.

You're the father of my nephew
and the man

who'll protect my sister
the rest of her life.

If I had to die for you,
I would.



It'd be an honor.

Who are you?
What am I doing here?

Where am I?

- Calm down.
- What'd you do to me?

- Calm down.
- Who are you?

[Teresa] I'm really sorry for putting you
in this position,

[Teresa] but this is a war

and in times of war sometimes
the innocent

pay for the sins of the guilty.

Hey!
Help!

[Ray] Teresa... Teresa!

Andrew?
It was you!

[Ray] We got company.
Somebody followed you.

[Danilo] Hey.

Hey!

Teresa doesn't know we're here.

I want to face her
just like last time.

[Lupo] It's Zurdo Villa.

How'd he find you?

I've no idea, but the war
has started.

[Teresa] Let's go.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

What do we do?

Let's go kick her ass.
Come on!

[Zurdo] Let's go, fuckers!

[Lencho] Give me a sec
and I'll help you.

Just wait.
I'll help.

Wouldn't you rather
wait in the truck?

If we're attacked,
you won't be able to run.

Teresa doesn't know we're here.

I wanted to see
her face-to-face,

just like last time.

[police siren]

STATE POLICE

[Lencho] There she is.

She's with the fucking Italian.

What do we do?

Let's follow them.
Let's go.

Hurry.

[Zurdo] Let's go.

Hell, yeah!
Come on.

Teresa, it worked.

They're following you.

Keep your distance.
She can't know we're after her.

I am, boss.

Bitch.

[Lupo] They're keeping their distance.

They probably think
we haven't seen them.

I don't know how the fuck
he found me.

[Lupo] He has people all over the city.

Someone could've seen us
going into the dry cleaners.

No, we've been discreet.

We snuck Danilo in
through the back door.

No one knows we were there.

That's why everyone on my team
is a foreigner.

None of them
have connections in Mexico.

I need to talk to Zurdo.

He'll put a bullet in your head

before you get the chance
to say hi.

I've done a lot worse
and I'm still alive.

Where do you think she's going?
Her new place or something?

No, her house is south.

Wherever she's going,
we're settling this score today.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd] Epifanio, Epifanio!

[Teresa] You're a dead man walking,
Epifanio.

The order has been given
to eliminate you.

And it's going to be
a public execution.

We need more people around here.

[Alejandro] If I had to die for you,
I would.

It'd be an honor for me.

[campaign jingle]

Thank you.
Thank you!

Long live the North!

They love me, Bebita!
They love me!

And I love you!

With you, the next president
of Mexico,

Epifanio Vargas!

[Epifanio] Thank you,
my fellow Mexicans.

I owe you.

You're my motivation.

You're my family!

And families are meant
to be loved,

cared for,

and protected.

I will keep my promises.

[Epifanio] That's why I'm here!
To honor my promises!

Thank you.
Thank you!

I dream of a just Mexico!

[gunshot]

[crowd screaming]

[Genoveva] Epifanio...
Epifanio!

Alejandro, do something!
Move!

[woman] There he is!
He shot the candidate!

[Alejandro] Why didn't they shoot him
in the head?

Go after that idiot,
after Batman!

I'm going to the hospital
with my sister.

[bodyguards] Make way!

Move!

[footsteps]

[crowd shouting]

Presidential candidate
Epifanio Vargas has been hurt.

I'm going with my husband.

- Let them do their work.
- I'm going with him!

Is he alive?

You're not going to tell me
what to do.

Make sure you keep him alive!

Get back, get back!

[paramedic] Let's go!

[ambulance siren]

[Cristian] Hey!

Epifanio.

[gunshot]

[beeping]

Wait, hold on.
They stopped.

Let me see.

[Lencho] Damn.

She's in one of the warehouses
where we're hiding our money.

What?

She knew my secrets.

She's taking my money.

No, we'll get her.

Hold on.

[accelerating engine]

[door closes]

[ambulance siren]

Faster!

[Genoveva] Faster!

You wore a bulletproof vest.

Please tell me you're okay.

They didn't kill me,

but that hurt like
a motherfucker, Bebita.

I thought you...

Don't worry.

Only the good die young.

All right, man.
Stick to the plan.

What do you mean?
What's going on?

You think I use
bulletproof vests normally?

No, babe.
I never do.

- [Genoveva] I don't understand.
- I knew this would happen.

[Epifanio] I knew they wanted to kill me.

What? Who?

Your brother, Bebita.

[Epifanio] Alejandro wants me dead.

I was tipped off that
it would be soon.

I just didn't know how.

[Epifanio] What I did know was
with the campaign coming to an end,

Alejandro needed enough time
to mourn me and then replace me.

Who told you all this?

[Epifanio] I have my sources,
and I trust them.

That's why you went
to see him at the hotel.

- [Epifanio] Yes.
- Why didn't you tell me before?

Because I was
wrapping my head around it.

I couldn't believe that
Alejandro, your brother,

my brother-in-law, my friend,
could betray me like that.

Don't worry, though,
because I planned everything.

I had the paramedics ready,
I wore a bulletproof vest,

and I ordered them to not let
anyone else but you in here.

[Epifanio] I know it's hard to believe,
but it's true.

It's hard to believe

that my own brother
tried to have you killed.

It's like I don't know him.

I swear that if this is true,

Alejandro is as good
as dead to me.

That's not all you need to know.

[Genoveva] There's more?

Yes, but before I tell you,

I need to know
something about you.

Please tell me.

Tell me you had
nothing to do with this.

What?

I need to know
whether you're on my side.

That you're on my side today
now more than ever.

I am the only one who's
always been on your side.

I've believed in you
and supported you.

I love you and I'm expecting
your child.

How fucking dare you
ask me that?

I had to know.
I'm sorry.

I needed to know
that you were on my side.

This is a tragedy.

[Epifanio] I know, but we got lucky.

Right now
everyone is watching TV

and Mexico's prayers
are with me.

If we ever had doubts,

today I can safely tell you
that our son

will be born in Los Pinos.

[Epifanio] He'll be born in Los Pinos.

I love you.

- [Genoveva] I love you.
- I love you, Bebita.

[Lencho] Look.

They're inside.

Let's shoot her up
before she takes my money.

Let's go.

Come on!

[door opens]

[Zurdo] What is this?

[Zurdo struggling]

[sniffing]

What the hell is this?

[Teresa] Hey, Zurdo.
It's me.

[Lencho] Careful.

[Teresa] It's me.

We meet again.

[Teresa] How the fuck did you find me?

Tell me or it'll cost you
a shitload of money.

[Teresa] You have two options.

You can either wait

for that gasoline-soaked money
to dry and then go home.

[Teresa] Or we can see how long
it takes for... what?

150, 200 million dollars
to burn up.

[gasoline dripping]

Tell them to leave.

All right.
Go.

Hurry up.

Tell me how the fuck
you found me!

How'd your people
find my house?

How'd you know to find me
at the dry cleaners?

Heck, tell me how the fuck
you got away from the army?

Oh, sure!
I'll tell you everything!

Look at me!
You can't fool me again.

[Teresa] Tell me who's protecting you.

Who?
God!

And Malverde.

You're out.

Carry on with your life
and let me carry on with mine.

It's what's best
for the both of us.

[Zurdo] No, I owe you payback.

I let you into my home
and my life.

You betrayed me
and tried to kill me.

This is pointless, Teresa.

Shut up, you!
This doesn't concern you.

[Teresa] If I'd wanted to kill you,

I'd have done it
a long time ago.

Here's what happened
at the hotel.

I spared your life after
what you did to the Russian.

You're the idiot who jumped
on that helicopter.

It was your life or mine.

[laughing]

Seems like you're the idiot now.

You're about to fall.

- You really think so?
- Yes, I do.

I don't know if you remember
that I have the addresses

of all the warehouses where
you're keeping your money.

[Teresa] I make one phone call
and in less than an hour,

your money disappears.

Why'd you do this to me?
What was the price?

You know perfectly well
what the price was.

Her name is Sofia

and I swear that I never
wanted to hurt you.

I even grew fond of you,

but my daughter is more
important than anything.

Wouldn't you do the same
for Renata?

I became a rat for my daughter.

I had to tell
the feds everything.

I told them I was financing
Mariano Bravo's campaign,

but I didn't betray you.

Quite the contrary.

You don't get it, Nazario.

You don't know
who you messed with.

[Lupo] You're the one who doesn't know.

You want a war?
You'll get one.

Fucking Italian.

The day I met you,
I wanted to kill you,

but I didn't do it
because I was a fool.

You heard Teresa.
What'll it be?

You know what pissed me off the most,
more than your betrayal?

That you made me think
you loved me.

You seduced me.
You did a great job.

She's probably done
the same to you, dumbass!

She's all talk.

We're cut from the same cloth.

We both manipulated
and took advantage of each other.

That's life.

I've lost almost everything
and it's all your fault.

I lost my life, you asshole!

And watch it!

I could make your life
a whole lot worse.

You can't.

Wanna bet?

You're heartless.

[Teresa] Yes, you're right.

I am.

No!

[Zurdo] No.

No!

You fucking bitch!

[Zurdo] You're going to die!

No...

Put it out!
Fuck!

[screaming]

[Zurdo] Fucking idiots!

[man] Get him out.

[doctor] Your ribs and your sternum
are intact.

There was no internal damage.

You're in pain
because of the impact.

No, doctor.
I'm made of steel.

Politics have thickened my skin.

I'm like an elephant now.

There are reporters outside.

They want an update
on your condition.

Take this off.

I'll go give them
the good news soon.

[Epifanio] You'll see.

[doctor] You can go home.
Good luck in the elections.

All right.

I hope you vote for me
this time.

- I will.
- All right.

Thank you, Doctor.

[doctor] Ma'am.

It does hurt.

It's a miracle you're alive.

That was no miracle.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Epifanio, I can't believe this.
You're invincible.

You've no idea how happy I was
when I heard you were okay,

especially because you wore
the vest I told you to wear.

You're so stubborn,
but this is a miracle.

Miracle my ass!

This was prevented.

I knew they'd try
to kill me today.

How did you know...

That's enough, Alejandro!

Don't play stupid.

Bebita knows everything.

[Epifanio] She knows you're involved
in this attempt on my life.

You know something else?

I had to risk my life
to prove it to her.

This again.

[Alejandro] Beba, why don't you tell him?

Tell him how many times I've
told you that I respect him,

that I'm fond of him.

No, you're the one
who has to explain.

You're the one who
has to defend yourself.

You need to convince him
that you didn't do anything.

You didn't, right?

[Alejandro] Oh, please!

[Epifanio] Stop playing dumb!

Admit it.
You were going to kill me.

Admit it and I won't
throw you in prison.

I swear.

What prison?
What are you talking about?

Who's getting in your head?

You see?
He's not denying it.

He's not defending himself.

You just outed yourself.

Of course I'm not
defending myself.

I haven't done anything.

You love to point fingers,
don't you?

Why don't you
check out the news?

[Alejandro] There's your man.

[motorcycle roaring]

[dialing]

Hello.

Hey, I need to see you.

No, I can't explain right now.

I'll see you... near my house.

Around the road
where you turn around.

How long?

All right.
See you there.

I'm on a motorcycle.

[beep]

[clears throat]

[news broadcast] All we know is that
the person responsible

could've been this man.

What the fuck?

Batman?

Of course, he shot you!
He's guilty!

Our people are after him

and the police are
hunting him down.

And believe me, as soon as
we catch him, he'll confess.

Is there any reason
Batman would want you dead?

No, Bebita.

This fool's just confusing us!

I'm not!
You just saw him on the news.

Unless you're suggesting
I had Batman shoot you.

[Genoveva] Epifanio, please think
this through.

Do you really think
Alejandro is behind this?

Please think this through.

Bebita, this fucker

is willing to sell you
and your father out.

He'd hire Batman to kill me.

He's the Devil incarnate.
Don't you get it?

You're insane.
What did they do to you?

- Are you or are you not DEA?
- [Alejandro] What?

Are you a DEA agent or not?

The DEA?
What are you talking about?

Stop. You're making
a fool of yourself.

So the fucking gringos
don't want you to be president?

They don't want me dead
so you can replace me.

You're my brother-in-law,
my campaign manager,

[Epifanio] and the uncle
of my unborn child, motherfucker!

You fucking Judas!

You're dreaming up conspiracies
where there are none.

Batman shot you.

He's had it in for you
for a long time.

[Alejandro] You told me so yourself.

That's irrelevant.

What are you talking about?

He's distracting you.

He just wants
to come between us.

Batman would never hurt me.

Are you sure about that?

- [Epifanio] Yes.
- You've made a lot of enemies.

Yes, like the thorn
in my fucking side right now.

Right?

This is Teresa Mendoza's doing,
isn't it?

- What are you talking about?
- [Alejandro] Of course.

[Genoveva] What does she have to do
with this?

She's the one
messing with your head.

Who else would want
to screw you?

[Alejandro] Who else would want to destroy
all our work, our campaign?

So everything I was told
about her was true?

[Alejandro] This is unbelievable.

- Was it true or not?
- Tell her!

Tell her everything we had
with her, all our plans?

[Alejandro] Why don't you tell her?

Wait.
Tell me the truth.

What's going on?

He's trying to distract you.

The wise take advantage
of turmoil.

Tell her all the deals
we've made with the woman

who threw you in prison.

Tell her about her daughter
Sofia's kidnapping.

What kidnapping?

You kidnapped her daughter?

[Genoveva] Is that why she's in Mexico?

Answer me!

Bebita, that woman told me
about the attempt.

That's all she did!

Lupo saw you!

He saw you with that asshole
boss of yours!

He heard him ordering you
to kill me!

Isn't that so?

I can't believe this.

I grew up with him.

You have nothing to do
with the DEA, do you?

What do you think
he was doing in the US?

They recruited him there
like La Malinche!

You're fucking insane, man.
You've gone too far.

Who's Lupo?

Right.
Tell her.

Who is he?

[Epifanio] We'll talk about that later.

That has nothing to do
with this.

[Alejandro] Very reliable sources
of yours, Epifanio.

You'd believe a contract killer
and a wanted criminal

who threw you in prison.

You know what?
I quit.

- [Epifanio] You do that.
- [Alejandro] Have a nice life.

- [Genoveva] Alejan...
- [opens door]

- Excuse me.
- General.

[Epifanio] Come in, general.

Thank you.
Am I interrupting?

No, sir.

On the contrary,
what can I help you with?

The president has tasked me
with your security.

- Mr. Epifanio Vargas...
- Shut up, fucker!

Didn't you quit?

The state will be responsible
for the candidate's security

from now on.

That's the order.

One thing, what do you know
about the fucker who shot me?

[general] The federal police
are after him.

He'll soon be caught.

The people of Mexico expect
the authorities to respond

and that's what
we're going to do.

As it should be.

I need a favor.

When you catch that fucker,
you question him thoroughly.

[Epifanio] I'm sure he has an accomplice,

and that person...
must be very close to me.

Excuse me.

- Of course.
- [Epifanio] Go ahead, general.

I'm done here.
Excuse me.

Thanks for everything, asshole.

[train horn]

[Teresa] Are you sure you know
how to do this?

[Lupo] I've done it hundreds of times.

A bullet is bigger
and a lot more painful.

Trust me.

- [Teresa] This'll hurt.
- [in Italian] You ready?

[in Spanish] Go ahead.

Fucking shit!

[Lupo] Here we go.

- [Teresa] Is it out?
- [Lupo] Yeah.

[Teresa] Let me see.

[Teresa] Oh.

Zurdo should be on his way.

Yeah.
Let's find out if I was right.

[both] Let's go.

Let's see.

[Zurdo] Damn it.

She's at another
of our warehouses.

Then hurry up before she
burns up more of my money!

Hurry!

[Sheila] Hey, where'd you get
that motorcycle?

I stole it.

[laughing]

And what are you wearing?

What's the matter?
Why all the secrecy?

What's the surprise?

You haven't seen the news?

You think I have time
to watch the news?

We had to move again.

Zurdo Villa knows about
Teresa's whereabouts.

What's the matter?

I'm in big trouble, Sheila.

I almost died and in that mess,

the only person
I could think of was you.

- Because...
- [Sheila] I knew it.

The same is happening to me.

I think about you every day.

Batman, things between us
will work.

[Sheila] Of course they will.

Yeah, I want this too,
but not right now.

What's that supposed to mean?

[Batman] The whole country's after me.

This mess is about you?
All those blockades?

You've no idea how hard it was
for me to get this far.

- What'd you do?
- [Batman] Nothing.

- [Sheila] Nothing?
- Well...

...turns out...
Teresa said she wouldn't help me

with Epifanio Vargas,
and I didn't care.

I went to his rally with a gun.

[Sheila] You didn't!

You killed the candidate
in front of everyone?

Yes... well, no.

[Sheila] Yes or no?

I didn't kill him,
but I'm being blamed.

The only person who can help me
is Teresa Mendoza.

[Batman] Can you help me with her?

You're getting me in trouble.

- [Batman] No.
- Yes, you are.

Hey.

You need to help me, Sheila.
For us.

- [Batman] Huh?
- Quiet.

Thank you.

- [Lencho] Careful.
- Help me out, fuckers!

[doors close]

[Zurdo] Hold on.

She's going to get rid
of my money.

Go inside.
I'll help him.

I want her dead.

I want her fucking dead.

Hurry up before she lights
this fucking warehouse up.

I want her dead!

Go.

- [door opens]
- [Lencho] Let's go.

[gunshots]

[footsteps]

[man shouts]

[gunshots]

[man] Clear!

[Zurdo] Find her!

[Lencho] Easy, easy.

Nobody leaves here.

[Lencho] Boss!

Over here!

[grunting]

[Lencho] Look.

Here's the signal.

"Bye, Zurdo.
See you never!"

We lost her.

We've lost her forever.

[Teresa] You see?
That's how he found me.

They've been following me.

You left him blind.

You cut my foot open.

It'll hurt me forever
and it will remind me of this.

Okay, now we need
to concentrate on what matters.

Alejandro Alcala.

He's the only loose end left.

He'll be the hardest
to get rid of.

Yes, but they all
have weaknesses.

We know his.

I just want to end this
and disappear.

Disappear is a strong word.

Uh-huh.

Yes, I know, but it's necessary,
Michele.

I have no other choice.

Is this about you
or everyone else?

All I want in life
is to see my daughter.

[engine starts]

[reporters] Sir!

Mr. Alcala, good morning.

[reporter] Good morning.
How's the candidate?

Any news?

When will we see him?

Stay calm, everyone.

All I can say is that the
candidate is okay

and that he will soon be here
to answer all your questions.

Thank you very much.

[speaking in unison]

[Alejandro] Tell me you have Batman.

We're looking for him.

You're looking for him?
How the fuck did he get away?

What the fuck is going on?

Cristian, you need to find him

[Alejandro] and he has to testify
on video or whatever

that he shot Epifanio.

You can blow his brains out
after that!

Understood?

What happened upstairs?

Epifanio doesn't believe
Batman could've done this.

He accused me of the attack
in front of my sister

and accused me of being
a DEA agent.

Why the fuck is everything
going to shit?

Why the fuck is this
happening to me?

Did you see all the people
the president sent

to protect Epifanio?

[Cristian] Alejandro, calm down.

Washington knows
that killing Epifanio in public

isn't viable.

It's not viable?

What the fuck are you
talking about?

A fly couldn't get
close to him now.

[Cristian] Exactly.

Very few people will be able
to get close to him.

That's why I need you
to handle it personally.

MALAGA, SPAIN

[ambient sounds]

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

[Teresa] All right, Batman.

The bullet with Epifanio's name
on it is not for him anymore.

It's for Alejandro Alcala.

Charo?
