La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 58 - Tic tac, tic tac - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

[Epifanio] Thank you!

I dream of a just Mexico...

[screaming]

Do everything you can
to save him!

Back, back!

Let's go, let's go!

[man] Here's the signal.

[panting]

"BYE, ZURDO. SEE YOU NEVER!
TERESA."



We lost her.

We lost her forever.

I think what we need to do now
is get Alejandro Alcala.

He's the only loose end.

Everyone has a weakness, right?

And we know his.

What's going on?

I'm in big trouble.

I almost died.

What'd you do now?

Teresa told me she wouldn't
help me with Epifanio Vargas,

and I wiped my ass with that

and went to his rally
with a gun.

I didn't kill him,
but they're blaming me.



The only person who can help me
is Teresa Mendoza.

You wore a bulletproof vest.

[moan]

[Beba] What's going on?

I knew they wanted to kill me.

How?
Who?

Your brother, Bebita.

Alejandro wanted me dead.

He needed time to mourn me
and then replace me.

Washington knows perfectly well

that publicly executing Epifanio
is no longer an option.

Not even a fly will be able
to get near Epifanio

before the elections.

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

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

I swear to you on my dead family

that I meant
to shoot Epifanio Vargas

right in the damn head, but...

[people chanting]

[commentator] Here with you,
the next president of Mexico!

Epifanio Vargas!

[Batman]
I started getting closer,

blending in with the crowd
so Epifanio wouldn't catch me

and so Alejandro wouldn't see me
either since I was so close.

I started
listening to his speech.

He was talking pure shit.

Everything politicians
usually say.

All of you are my motivation!

[Batman] There was
one phrase, though,

- that made my blood boil.
- [Epifanio] You are my family!

And family is meant
to be loved!

To be cared for!

To be protected!

And you keep
your promises to them!

[Batman] Those words
were enough,

and I made up my mind
to shoot him

just like he had my family
shot and killed.

But...

[shot]

someone beat me to the punch.

As soon as I heard the shot,
I turned around to see

who had done me the favor,
but I only saw a shadow.

That's when all hell
broke loose.

Everyone started saying
I'd killed him,

so I ran out of there
any way I could.

It's a miracle
I didn't get killed.

It just wasn't my turn.

Now everyone's after me, though.

Are you sure you didn't see
who did it?

[Batman] No, I only saw a shadow.

Judging by where
the shot came from,

I'm sure it was no rookie.

A DEA sniper.

Batman, I asked you
to be patient,

but you didn't give a damn.

Now your face is everywhere.

Yeah, Teresa, I know.

I fucked up.

Try to understand, though.

I've been planning my revenge
for eight years.

Maybe God or fate or my angels
didn't want me to kill him.

Now the problem is that everyone
is looking for me.

They're saying on the news
they still don't know

if he's dead or alive.

He was going to wear
a bulletproof vest.

I hope he did.

[Batman] How do you know?

Because I know.

Mexican, I'm not
excusing Batman,

but you have to do something
before they arrest him.

He's innocent.

All right, Batman.

I'll help you out,

but that bullet with
Epifanio's name on it

isn't for Epifanio anymore.

It's for Alejandro Alcala.

We need to take care of him.

He's the real person
responsible for the attack.

He looked so uppity too.

Those are always the worst.

I'm going to convince Epifanio
of your innocence,

but you have to forget
about your revenge.

That's going to be tough.

[Teresa] Yeah, it will be.

But what do you prefer,

to eat dirt or eat shit?

MALAGA, SPAIN

What I wanted...

is now reality.

[creaking door]

[sigh]

Yaya, are you having
trouble sleeping?

Is that you, Yaya?

Charo?

[scream]

[struggling]

[scream]

Sweetie...

[wheezing]

[coughing]

There, there.

Ma'am, what's going on?

It's over.

[wheezing]

She almost killed her.

[Sofia] Yaya!

[crying]

Give me that bag, sweetie.

You shouldn't be
exerting yourself.

I'm pregnant, not sick!

I know, I know.

Here. Take Tozzi.
He's very nervous.

He hadn't got used to
the old house yet,

and he's already in a new one.

Poor thing.

Is everything clear, Rocio?

Yes.

Be very careful.

If you fail, we all go down.

We're depending on you.

Yes, I'll explain everything
to Faustino

just like you told me,

without the guards finding out.

I'm a little nervous,
but oh well.

Do you think
everything will work out?

It's that or nothing.

Go on.

I'll take care of the rest of
the move before Tesa is back.

Don't worry.

Okay.
Thank you.

Ahmed, we need another room.

There aren't even enough
for us.

Figure it out.

Where will I get another room?

The office, the basement,
anywhere.

Are we expecting company?

How's the move coming along?

What's this guy doing here?

There's no time for explanations
right now.

We need to take in Batman.

Turn on the TV.

We need to hear the news.

I'm going to leave this shirt on

so they can see the hole
they made.

It's always good
to make an impression.

Who is Lupo?

Were you involved
in that girl's kidnapping?

Have you spoken
to Teresa Mendoza?

Listen...

Why did you say Alejandro
is involved with the DEA?

Why am I the last to find
out about everything?

Answer me.

Sweetie, breathe.

Breathe, please.

This isn't good for the baby.

I'll explain
the Lupo thing later.

- It's a long story.
- No, you'll explain now.

Answer me now.

I don't care how long
the fucking story is.

Bebita, your colleagues
are downstairs waiting for me.

They want to know
if I'm dead or alive.

No, this doesn't add up
and you need to tell me the truth.

Look... Alejandro approached me
in prison

because he said he wanted
to help me as a friend,

but that wasn't true.

The DEA ordered him
to get close to me

because they wanted
to make me president

because they thought
they could manipulate me.

But then they realized
no on can manipulate me.

That's when they decided
to kill me

and make your brother president.

You know what?

Help me put my jacket on,
please.

What is your involvement
with Teresa Mendoza?

You know what?

We'll finish this conversation
at home.

They're waiting
for me downstairs.

They want to know if the next
president is dead or alive.

That's more important
than you or me right now.

Okay?

[reporter] We've been informed
that a bulletproof vest

saved candidate
Epifanio Vargas' life.

We're waiting to hear
his first statements

after this attack.

I can't believe
this guy's still alive.

He was shot in the chest.

He was wearing
a bulletproof vest.

At least he listened to us.

Otherwise, he'd be dead.

[reporter] According to witnesses
and footage from the rally,

Candidate Vargas
was giving a speech

when this man, who's been
identified as Cesar Güemes

aka Batman, shot the candidate.

It was you, Batman?

That's why you
brought him, Teresa.

Damn it, Teresa.
What have you done?

They're going to find us
for hiding this fugitive.

No way.

If I'd shot him, it would've
been in the head, not the chest.

Fucking idiots.

Batman didn't shoot him.

It was a DEA sharpshooter.

We have to hide him here until
the truth comes out, though.

What if the federal police come?

I'm not worried about them.
I'm worried about the gringos.

The DEA wants everyone
to think he shot him.

Your presence at the rally
was a godsend for them.

If I'd known,
I never would've gone.

What a shitshow.

Now you're the most wanted man
in Mexico.

[journalists] Candidate!

Please come here.

How do you feel?

Hello, hello.

[reporter 1] How are you doing, sir?

First of all
and most importantly,

I want to thank
my beautiful wife.

She's been with me
this whole time.

She's my rock and my strength.

Thank you, sweetie.

Secondly, I want to thank
all the Mexicans

who have been praying for me.

All I want to say

is that threats and attacks
don't scare me.

If they think I'm going
to drop out of the race,

they're very mistaken.

If the Mexican people want me
to be their president,

I will see them through
to the end.

If the people need me,
I'm with Mexico.

They can get rid of me.

This motherfucker.

He's a master manipulator.

Let's keep marching
toward that victory.

[reporter] Sir, some are saying
Batman Güemes, a man on your staff,

is responsible for the attack.

What do you say?

Let's not jump the gun.

We'll allow the authorities
to do their job.

When they find the real culprit,

may the full force of the law
fall on them.

[muted] I believe in Mexico...

I believe in justice.

...everyone around me wants
the truth to come to light.

[reporter] Sir,
will you continue in the race?

That message was for me.

Yes, but we have a plan.

I won't even tell you

because it's the end
of the story.

[all reporters talking]

If we keep a low profile, he'll
probably let his guard down.

I know him.
He's very gullible.

In any case, we can always
go back to the original plan.

No, Alejandro.

Sheldon's orders
were very clear.

After this attack he could
go into respiratory arrest

or have a heart attack.

[animal sounds]

[horse neighing]

Pepe, Charo, get out.

Ma'am, I...

Pepe, I told you to get out!

Both of you.
This is between her and me.

All you gorgio's are the same.

You think you're so brave
with a gun.

Pepe, call the civil guard.

Yes, call them and tell them
to pick up a body.

This fucking bitch
isn't leaving here alive.

Ma'am, she's not worth it.
Don't do anything crazy.

Crazy was letting her into
my home and not killing her.

And it would be crazy to let her
leave alive again.

Pepe, call the police.

Charo, go with Sofia.

Sofia is dead.

No, Sofia is alive.

[Triana] May the crows
feast on your eyes,

the eagles your heart,
and the snakes your entrails!

[crying]

You wanted to take
what was most sacred to me,

the only person
I want to live for.

But when the police arrive,

I'm going to tell them that
on our security cameras

I saw a gypsy thief
and murderer

who wanted to kill
my little girl.

Then, in self-defense...

I blew her head off.

You'll go to cemetery
knowing the hard truth

that I won't be going to jail.

You don't get it!

I came to get my revenge.

You can do whatever you want,

but I swear that if you kill me,

another of my people will
come rip the girl's eyes out.

Shut up!

That girl is the chance
that life has given me

to fix my mistakes.

I'd give my life
and my blood for her.

Plus, she's not responsible
for anything.

[Triana] She's an Aljarafe!

She has to pay for what
her sisters did to my boy.

I feel it here every day
in my stomach,

and I can't erase his face
from my memory.

His face on the floor,
covered in blood.

Do you think I care?

I also lost a son.

Someone also killed him.
I know how it feels.

His murderer had her motives

because he conned her,
he fooled her, and sold her out,

all while knowing she loved him.

My son was a bad man
and I refused to see it.

I looked the other way
because I couldn't accept

that I was mistaken,
that I'd raised him wrong.

I loved him with all my heart
and always gave him everything.

So he grew up thinking
he deserved it all.

He grew up, and his greed
knew no bounds.

That eventually cost him
his life.

You understand.

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Your son, your dog of a son,

who never worked
a day in his life,

who only came here to see if he
could bag one of my nieces...

He didn't
need anything from you!

He was very talented

and was going to be
a great bullfighter!

Your son didn't have the balls
that it takes

to stand before a bull.

He was a coward
and a wife beater

who did nothing
but hit and rape Paloma.

[Triana] That slut deserved it!

It was your fault!

You failed raising your son
and granddaughters!

Shut your disgusting mouth
before I fill it with lead.

Careful, gorgio.
Nothing's been written yet.

You might be the one
who leaves here in a body bag.

Right now I'm seeing a very
dark shadow next to you.

It's Death coming to take you
to hell if you kill me.

I'm not afraid of dying,

and as far as hell...

I've known what that is
for many years now.

[horses neighing]

[panting]

[horses neighing]

[animal sounds]

[muffled scream]

[struggling]

[Triana] Fucking girl!

You bitch!

[screaming]

[Sofia] Charo, no!

Piece of shit gypsy!

Charo...

[panting]

Please, don't hurt me...

Triana, you're going to be
a grandmother,

but you'll never meet him.

[horses neighing]

[horses neighing]

[panting]

Charo.

Charo, Charo!

Pepe, help me.

Help me.

[struggling]

Careful.

Charo, how are you?

I'm cold, ma'am.

How about you, Pepe?

I'll call an ambulance.

Hurry, call them.

[groaning]

Charo.

Charo, please hang on.

- Hang on.
- Talk to me!

Don't fall asleep.

This is the first time
you ask me to speak

instead of telling me
to shut up.

[sobbing]

Your grandmother acts tough,
but she's a good woman.

I die with the peace
of having heard you

defend your granddaughter.

You're not going to die today.

Hang on.

Pepe is almost here
with the ambulance.

I'm not afraid, but I do feel
bad about leaving you alone.

Don't scold me for that.

Don't be ridiculous, Charo, please.

Make up with Paloma and Rocio.

I promise.

[Charo] Set your pride aside.
It's useless.

Life hasn't been easy for them
since they were orphaned.

Sofia...

find your sisters.

They're very good girls...

just like you.

I would've loved
to get to know you better,

but that's life.

It can end in an instant.

Be strong and take care
of your grandmother.

She's very stubborn
and grumpy...

but she's a good woman
and she loves you.

Mrs. Cayetana...

Yes?

It's been a pleasure to be
by your side all these years.

Thank you for everything.

No!

Charo, no!
Don't go.

Don't leave me.
I love you, I love you.

Don't die, Charo, please.

Charo...

Please, please,
don't leave me alone...

[sobbing]

Can you feel how hard
my heart beats

every time you visit?

I told you once
and I'll tell you again.

You don't have to do this.

You say the same thing
every time I come.

You made a promise
and you're going to keep it.

What do you mean?

I'd marry you tomorrow
if necessary.

But then what?

We honeymoon
in the prison library?

The yard?

We're going to get married soon

and far away from this prison.

You have an important
visit tomorrow.

I have a message
from Oleg for you.

The Russian is alive?

He's a fighter, isn't he?

I can't tell you everything now, but...

But at what time
do you go out to the yard?

8 a.m., why?

Okay, at that time then.

No, no, no.

Explain yourself
or draw a picture,

but don't leave me hanging.

[guard] Visiting hours are over!

Find out who David Kaplan is.
Tomorrow at 8 a.m. in the yard.

I love you, babe.

Love you too, baby.

[guard] Come on.

Love you.

[door alarm]

[gate closing]

Come in, young man.

- Thank you.
- Come in.

It's so great you're here.

Jimena has been
waiting for you for days.

[Virginia] Mom, don't be annoying.

Ray probably has his reasons.

Yes, I've had a lot of work,

but that's exactly why I came,

to explain to Jimena
what's going on.

- [Jimena] Ray.
- Great.

What a nice surprise.

Mom, let's go check
if the grass is still green.

No, it's not right
to leave them alone.

We're a decent family.

Stop it, Mom.

This is the 21st century.
Don't exaggerate.

So?
Where have you been?

Let's go upstairs.

My grandma's
been driving me nuts.

Jimena...

I only came to tell you
that this is over.

What are you talking about?

Your grandfather had my uncle,
Güero Davila, killed.

My grandfather isn't
the greatest guy, but he...

He's your family
and that's the problem.

That motherfucker
had my uncle killed.

He shot his plane down.

How the fuck am I supposed
to have a family with you?

I would never have a child
with the last name Vargas.

Ray, stop.

Really, I don't care.

It's over.

- No.
- Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

- Jimena!
- Don't go.

Don't feel bad.

None of this is your fault.

The only one to blame is
that bastard Epifanio Vargas.

Doesn't he get tired of
screwing over his own family?

[groans]

Damn.

We haven't finished talking.

Yeah, but let's call a truce.

Can't you see I'm still
in a lot of pain?

Why don't you take a shower?

That'll cool you off a bit.

I'll catch up with you later.

Epifanio, you have to answer
all of my questions, got it?

Yes, yes, just calm down.

This isn't good for the baby.

[cellphone ringing]

It's the President.

Go on.

I'll catch up with you soon.

Sure.

What is it, Teresita?

Did you like my speech?

Yes, that's why I'm calling.

Batman is here with me and I can
guarantee you he didn't do it,

but you already knew that
because I warned you.

Or did you wear
that bulletproof vest

because you have a sixth sense?

No, sweetie, you saved my life.

[Teresa] You bet I did.

I have an offer so we can
negotiate Batman's freedom

and get your brother-in-law
out of the way.

Otherwise, he'll kill you.

I can assure you he won't miss
a second time.

That's impossible.

Epifanio can't even
look at me right now.

Why don't you call your sister?

Tell her you're sorry.
I mean, she's your sister.

She wants to see me even less.

She hasn't even called me.

Who are you calling?

[beeps]

Sheldon.

Wait, wait.

Don't rush.

Let me think
of how to resolve this.

It's not so simple.

We have 24 hours
to figure this out.

[Alejandro] I know.

Leave me alone then.
Let me think

without any pressure
and without being rushed, please.

[in English] Fine.

Why the long face?
What's wrong?

I wanted to talk to you.

I don't know where to start,

but I've been confused
this whole time.

Just say what you have to say.

Don't beat around the bush.

Look, I know I messed up.

I should've been honest with you
from the start,

but I kept giving you
the runaround

because I didn't want
to lose you.

Paloma, I'm really sorry
for being with you and Jimena

at the same time.

Please forgive me.

You don't have to apologize.

It was also my fault.

I shouldn't have
hooked up with you

knowing that you were
with Jimena.

I didn't know what I wanted,
but now it's clear.

I want to be with you.

I just broke up with Jimena.
For real this time.

Why did you do that?

It's complicate, but in short,

I found out Jimena's grandfather
is Epifanio Vargas,

the man who had my uncle killed.

- So?
- What do you mean so?

What her grandfather did
isn't Jimena's fault.

Please, Paloma, I can't be
part of that family.

That relationship wouldn't have
gone anywhere.

Imagine if we had
a child together,

a child with
that murderer's blood.

You and I, though...

You and I nothing.

If bloodlines are
so important to you,

then we don't have
a future either.

No, I love you.

Ray, I'm expecting a baby
that isn't yours.

You don't care now,
but it'll always weigh on you.

I'm really sorry, but right now
I have to think of myself

and my baby, which is
more important than you.

Paloma, wait.

Is there a chance,
no matter how small,

that we'll ever be together
some day?

No.

[bells ringing]

[seagull sounds]

That woman broke into my house
to kill my granddaughter

and then she tried
to stab me to death.

That's when... Charo...
my Charito, my friend,

got in the way and...

Detective, it's been
a very long night

and Mrs. Aljarafe needs to rest.

If you consider it necessary,

I can take my client
to the station later

so she can continue
with her statement.

Ma'am, remember that
you can't leave Spain

until the investigation is over.

This case is directly related
to the deceased's son's murder.

Remember, there's an open case
on your granddaughters

as the suspected murderers
of the deceased's son.

Detective, my granddaughters
didn't kill that boy.

Your granddaughters are missing

and they were coincidentally
at the scene of the crime

the day of the murder.

If they're innocent,
they just have to testify

and everything will be fine
with them.

My granddaughters are innocent.

If you need a culprit,
I'll give you one.

Please.

My client has given
her statement

regarding the case
you mentioned...

Is it true, Yaya?

If my sisters
didn't kill that guy, who did?

Me.

Rodrigo, come back to the house
when you can.

I have to talk to you
about something important.

I'll be back in a few hours.

Try to rest, Cayetana.

This has been really difficult.

I left Cristina in charge
of the house.

If there's anything
I can do for you, ma'am,

I'm at your service.

Thanks, Pepe, but I'll take care
of my grandmother.

Don't worry.

Excuse me.

Grandma, forgive me.
This is all my fault.

If I hadn't come here,
Charo would still be alive

and none of this
would've happened.

No, darling, don't say that.

It's not your fault.

Please forgive me.

I'm going to call my mother
so she can come.

I don't want to cause you
any more problems.

Darling,

if you go, I'll die.

I'll just die.

I'm sorry.

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[cellphone ringing]

[cellphone ringing]

[Danilo] Alejandro, it's me.

[sigh] Sweetheart...

You don't know what
I'd give to be with you.

To kiss you and give you
a big hug.

To spend the night
making love to you and...

I'm so sick of all this shit.

[sobbing] Alex, please help me!

Alex!

What's wrong?
Why do you sound like that?

I've been brought back
to Mexico.

What do you mean?

Who brought you back to Mexico?

I was drugged and lied to.

I don't know who these people
are or what they want from me,

but please help me, Alex!

[Alejandro] Who are you with?

Alex, I'm so scared!
Help me!

Hi, Alex.

Teresa.

You underestimated me.

Don't forget that Jonathan
and Lupo are on my side.

It's up to you whether
or not to continue the lie

or to come save your boyfriend.

What else do you want?

You've wrecked the campaign,

you made Batman shoot Epifanio.

You're as good as dead.

You'll shut your mouth
and listen carefully

if you know what's good for you.

You and I are going to negotiate

my escape from Mexico
so I can be left in peace.

You think I'm going
to fall for your trap

just because you have Danilo?

First I'm going to take care
of your family,

of all your loved ones.

One by one.

And after I've made it
rain fire on you,

as you're barely breathing,

I promise that that's when
I'll take care of you, bitch!

Blah, blah, blah.

You really don't know
when to quit, do you?

Alejandro, please, help me!

I don't know
who these people are

or what your connection
to them is, but please help me!

Calm down, Danilo.
I'll take care of it.

Please, help me!

Help me!

Help me.

Don't tempt me or force me
into doing something.

I'd hate to hurt this kid.

You touch one hair
on his head...

I'm not someone you want
to trifle with,

and yet you got me.

You took advantage of me
and hit me where it hurts.

After what you pulled with Lupo,

you made me look
like a real idiot.

But guess what.

Now you and I share
the same Achilles Heel.

I don't know when,
and I don't know how,

but I swear I'll destroy you.

There it is.
That's what I want.

That ire is what I need.

That was what kept me going
for months.

Now you and I are ready
to negotiate.

Unless you want your boyfriend

returned to you
one piece at a time,

let's meet.

Oh, but you can't bring
any of your DEA friends.

And don't even think
about pulling any stunts

like you gringos are so fond of.
