La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 2, Episode 59 - Morder el anzuelo - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[Danilo] Alejandro, please help me! Alex!

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

What's the matter?
Why do you sound like that?

Alex, I'm scared! Help me!

Hey, Alex!

Teresa.

Let's negotiate my escape from Mexico.

Do you think I'll fall for this trap
because you have Danilo?

I'll deal with your relatives,

all of your loved ones one by one.



[Cayetana]
Triana, you're going to be a grandmother,

but I swear you'll never meet him.

If you don't want me to return
your boyfriend in pieces,

then we'll meet,

and don't bring any of your DEA friends.

Tick-tock tick-tock.

She pretends to be tough,
but she's... a good woman.

I'm not scared, but I do feel sorry
for leaving you alone.

Make up with Paloma and Rocio.
Put your pride aside.

You know life hasn't been easy for them

after they became orphans.

Mrs. Cayetana, it's been
a pleasure to be by your side.

- No!
- Charo!

- No, Charo!
- Charo!



I love you... Don't go!

- Charo, please don't die! Please, please!
- Please...

- Charo...
- Charo, please.

Please don't leave me.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

MALAGA, SPAIN

Are you sure about this?

You know me, Rodrigo.

You know that when I make
a decision, I see it through.

I do, but I'm your lawyer

and it's my duty to warn you
there's no turning back.

Thank you.

You're my lawyer and my friend.

Remember that there can't be
any inconsistencies

between your statement
and the coroner's report.

Understood.

Hello.

I'm Cayetana Aljarafe

and I'm here to turn myself in
for killing Juan Jose Montoya.

Follow me.

I can't believe what
you're telling me, Epifanio.

It's like I don't know him.
How could I not know?

I lived with him, I grew up with him!

You're telling me that he's a monster!

Bebita, I'm telling you what's
in the preliminary report.

It's still being investigated.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Let's just wait to see
what the authorities have to say.

Don't rule out Batman being the gunman.

I told you many times I didn't like
the way he looked at you.

Sweetie, if Batman is involved in this,

I'll make sure he rots in jail.

Let's talk to Alejandro.

There must be something
he still hasn't told you.

No, no!

- Please!
- Let the authorities handle it!

Damn it!

Alright, Bebita. Enough.

I'll do it for you, honey.

But only because
I don't like seeing you like this,

I don't like to see you cry.

I'm going to give your brother
one last chance.

I'm doing it for you.

Have you reached a decision?

Teresa just called.

- And?
- [telephone rings]

It's Epifanio.

Hello.

Hey, I'm here with your sister.

She wants us to talk
and settle our differences.

Alejandro, please...

If you believe Teresa more than you do me,
then I have nothing to say to you.

We don't have to do this
if you don't want to.

I didn't want to do it either.
I did it for Bebita.

See you around.

Alright, fine! Wait.

Wait.

Let's talk, but I don't want
hundreds of soldiers around me.

No?

You want me to make it easy
for you to finish the job.

See?

Why do you want to talk
if you don't trust me?

What's the point?

Listen, let's just drop it.

See you tomorrow at eight.

You and me, alone.

I can't.

I'm not on your fucking schedule, asshole!

We meet when I say so!

Eight! I leave for Mexico City at 10.

Alright, alright. Where?

Are you done doing what I asked?

Almost. Only a couple of things
left to do.

Make sure it gets done.

Okay. Here.

Thank you.

I'm not going to poison you.

You haven't done anything to me.

Alright.

You know, many years ago,
I knew a very beautiful woman.

Her name was Patricia O'Farrell,

but we all called her Teniente.

She fell madly in love with me.

It was very easy to care for her.

Well, maybe not care.
That doesn't encompass it.

I loved her.

I loved her with all my heart.
In my own way.

Know how she ended up?

Dead.

I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I still feel guilty about it.

If I'd loved her like she wanted me to,

Veronica Cortes wouldn't have crossed
paths with her.

Veronica Cortes was a DEA agent
who was trained to be like me

so she'd fall for her.

And yes, she was her downfall.

[clicks tongue]

There are loves that kill.

Isn't that right, Michele?

Listen, some DEA agents are great,

they're very well trained
at going undercover.

Some are so good that they know
how to get into your heart.

Did Agent Veronica love your friend?

She was madly in love with her.

It's fucked up to fall
for the wrong person.

[Teresa] Do you love Alejandro?

Yes, with every fiber of my being.

I pity you.

You should love yourself more.

Yes, you should love yourself
more than what you love him.

Because I'm certain
that if we gave him the choice

between his ambition and you,

I'm sure you'd lose.

He loves me. I'm sure he loves me.

He's shown me he does in many ways.

I can tell you're a good man
with a kind heart,

but you fell in love with a monster.

So...

You say that because you don't know him.

He's no monster.

Deep down inside he's good and caring.

He's shown me he is.

[Teresa] I believe you. I swear I do.

Listen, those fucking agents are too good.

They're very good at what they do.

They whisper in your ear
and say sweet nothings,

they make you fall in love
and once they've got you,

they stab you in the back
and cut you to pieces.

Are you going to kill me?

I'm really sorry you find
yourself in this situation.

I give you my word
that you'll leave here alive.

But it is going to hurt.

Finding out who Alejandro
really is will hurt a lot.

In fact, you can ask him. Lupo knows.

You were peers, right?

Your name is Lupo?

My name is Michele...

but to the DEA, I'm Lupo.

[Alejandro] We have no margin for error.

Teresa has to take that guy down ASAP.

If there are any mistakes,
if anything goes wrong,

it's on you, Lupo.

Keep me informed.

Who's Lupo? And who's Teresa?

What is it?

It's all starting to click now, huh?

Alejandro mentioned his name sometimes,

but he would always say
it was some private affair

he couldn't talk about.

Right. He fooled you.

The same thing happened to me.

So it's true? Alejandro is a DEA agent?

An undercover agent.
That's why you didn't know.

Alejandro and I were partners

in the kidnapping of Teresa's daughter.

What?

Is that true?

Lupo, help him see the truth.
Tell him about his cousin.

[Lupo]
Your cousin wasn't killed by the police.

Alejandro gave the order.

Your cousin was using a picture
of you two to blackmail him.

[Danilo sobbing]

That's why I'd rather
not meet with Epifanio.

I want to hear what Teresa has to say.

In fact, you can send
a special unit to catch her.

Don't hurt her, though.
Don't touch a hair on her head.

I'll do that myself!

I don't give a fuck about anything else!

I don't care about Epifanio,
Batman, or Jonathan!

You can deal with them!

Do what you want with those motherfuckers!

But you leave Teresa alone!

Taking Epifanio out
of the game is crucial.

Everything else, absolutely
everything else is secondary.

No, no! That's your priority.

Danilo is my priority and they have him.

Why not do both at the same time?

Because we can't!

Do you think I'm some idiot
who hadn't considered that option?

We're meeting at the same time.

Epifanio is your responsibility.

That's nonnegotiable.

I'll handle Teresa and Lupo.

I'm going to lead the attack.

Alright, fine.

What about Danilo?
What's going to happen to him?

Danilo can be collateral damage...

Collateral damage?
What do you mean, you idiot?

- Calm down!
- What do you mean?

Alejandro, calm down! Think.

Think things through.

Calm down.

Sorry, sorry.

[grunts]

Come on.

I want to show you something.

How did I say Epifanio was going to die?

Was it a heart attack
or respiratory arrest?

What are you talking about?

Alejandro, don't worry.

He's going to die far away
from you and several days later.

What kind of poison is it?

It's 100% effective.

Alejandro, this meeting is
our last chance.

Polonium is very effective.

In fact, our Russian comrades
use it a lot.

This one came from Moscow.
It's impossible to trace.

It doesn't smell, it has no flavor.

He'll die of natural causes.

Take it.

I'll do it,

but Danilo has to survive
your attack on Teresa and Lupo.

- I can't make any promises.
- It's either that or nothing.

It's not Alejandro Alcala who's asking

but the next president of Mexico.

Alright.

Alright.

I'll set everything up
so that he makes it out alive.

David Kaplan.

"HE WHO DOESN'T EXPECT TO WIN
IS ALREADY DEFEATED."

Is that a Russian name?

No, and I don't know
anyone who goes by it.

What about your girlfriend?
Did she say anything else?

Nothing.

Just that.

- Just an exact time and a name.
- Mmm-hmm.

David Kaplan.

However you want to say it.

David Kaplan...

[Faustino] That's what I'm saying.

Are you talking about David Kaplan?

Do you know who he is?

Kaplan is a hero to all Mexican inmates.

You're kidding.

He participated in an escape
on August of 1971.

The inmates were watching a movie

when all of a sudden a helicopter landed

on the basketball court.

Some were reading newspapers,
they waved them,

the helicopter landed
and picked them up in ten seconds.

The police didn't fire a shot.

The reason why isn't known.
Maybe they were involved in his escape.

In any case, the helicopter was yellow,

just like the one the DA owned.

They said that's why
they didn't fire at it.

No fucking way. They were in on it.

If they were in on it or if they
had been bribed, we'll never know.

Of course...

They were never heard from again.

They were really good.

- It was an outrageous escape.
- Only in the movies.

If only we could do that.

I delivered the message
just like you asked,

but the guards didn't make it easy for me.

I hope Anton and Sanchez Godoy
understand the message.

[Conejo]
Your picture is everywhere, Batman.

Damn, champ! You're famous!

[Oleg] Batman, have you met Rocio?

I think we met when we opened Submarino.

[Batman] Yes.

Oleg, Batman can take the couch.

We don't have enough beds.

It's best if we all go to bed.

Tomorrow is an important day
and we have to be prepared.

[panting]

[panting continues]

[bolero music from afar]

Lencho!

- [Lencho] Coming!
- [grunts]

What is it, boss?

What was the place
where we went looking for Teresa?

A dry cleaner's.

Is it hers? Did she buy it?

I have no idea.

We have to get inside.

Get the men ready.

We have to search that place at once.

Sure.

- Quickly!
- Hey!

Guys! Come on, guys!

- [men's voices]
- [guns clicking]

I'll be back in two hours.

The candidate will be resting all day.

We're out.

[cellphone rings]
[Alejandro] Here you are.

- Got it?
- Teresa just sent the address.

- Okay.
- I'll send it to you.

You'll also have my location in real time.

Yes.

Today we finish our mission,
Mr. President.

I hope you understand
who you're talking to.

I trust you'll uphold our deal.

Of course.

Teresa and her people are basically dead.

Danilo will come out of this
unscathed and alive.

The mission will be carried out
with surgical precision.

I'll also have aerial backup
so nothing goes wrong.

Good luck.

Likewise. Keep me informed.

Of course.

[taps on car]

Is everything ready?

Have everyone get in position.

Okay. Good luck.

Well?

Why do you look like a puppy
that just got scolded?

You said it. I ended up with nothing.

I broke up with Jimena because
she's Epifanio's granddaughter

and last night Paloma broke up with me.

That's what happens
when you're a two-timer.

You have a lot to learn.

My friend would've referred
to you as a fucking rookie.

[indistinct man on radio]

[male radio announcer]

[grunts]

Honey, there's the car I got for you.

Thanks, babe.

I need you to talk
and listen to Alejandro.

Please don't jump to conclusions.

- You'll listen to him right?
- Yes, yes.

Don't worry.

Go home and I'll handle the rest.

Don't worry.

I've gotten out of worse. You'll see.

Thank you, sweetheart.

[helicopter rotor]

[alarm blares]

They're trying to escape!

- Call the warden!
- Don't shoot!

- Don't shoot!
- We're so screwed, dude!

[men shouting]

[alarm blaring]

- [case closes]
- [beep]

What do you need? Are you okay?

I just want to go home.

[Lupo] Soon.

Just follow our instructions.

Hey! Alejandro's here.

Are you going to kill him?

Well, that depends on what he plans to do.

What's up, bro? How are you?

Come in.

Come on in.

[Teresa]
I didn't think you'd fall for our trap.

I really thought
you'd choose rescuing Danilo

over meeting with Epifanio.

I see you joined forces
with the enemy, Epifanio.

You see, lately I don't know
who my enemies are anymore.

[Alejandro] What did Teresa offer you?

To save me from you.

Did you forget everything she did to you?

No, but Teresita here
has never tried to shoot me.

Alejandro, I don't know what's going on,

but can you please get me out of here?

Calm down.

He has nothing to do with this.
Let him go.

That's right.

He's not involved. He's just an employee.

He should go so he doesn't hear...

No, no. You're wrong, Epifanio.

He was the bait. If it weren't for him...

Shut up, Teresa!

He has nothing to do with this!
Let him go!

First of all, he means nothing to you.

He's a good guy...

and it's obvious
that you love your boyfriend.

Say what?

What's this, bro? She called you a fag.

Aren't you going to defend yourself?

- Hey, there's no need for insults.
- No?

They're a couple
and they love each other, period.

This is the 21st century.

The 21st century. What about you?

Are you a top, a power bottom,
or do you like a bit of it all?

That's not your
campaign manager's only secret.

Fuck you!

Alejandro!

[grunting]

Hey!

Hey, hey!

That's enough!

Frisk him.

[voices on radio]

[Christian in English]
This is Zurdo Villa.

He's a drug lord.

What the hell! Why are they here?

Did you check everywhere?

Yeah, we checked everywhere.

Teresa Mendoza and Danilo
Marquez, they're not here.

And they're not among the dead.

They set us up.

They set us up. Give me the radio.

Bring me the chopper fast.

I repeat, bring me the chopper now!

- [in Spanish] What's up, babe?
- [sighs] I love you!

[laugh]

I told you we wouldn't marry
while you were in prison.

Where would you like to go
on our honeymoon, babe?

[Cayetana]
On that night, while at the estate

my granddaughter Rocio received
a call from her sister.

That bastard was mistreating her.

He had raped her
and my granddaughter was desperate.

Pepe...

Pepe is my driver
and he had the day off that day,

so I took the car
and drove myself to the house.

Did Rocio go with you?

Yes, but I thought it better
for her to wait in the car,

so I went up by myself.

When that man saw me, he went crazy.

He insulted me and we argued.

[commissioner] What did you argue about?

What did Juan Jose Montoya say to you?

He... was upset because
I'd kicked him off my property

days earlier.

My granddaughter tried
to defend me and he saw red.

He tried to rip her clothes off
and he mistreated her.

He said... he was going
to rape her in front of me

so I could see what kind of man he was...

and he called the women
in my family sluts.

He behaved like an animal
and I... I lost it, sir.

I picked something up off the floor.

I don't know what
because it was very dark.

And I hit him over the head
with all my might.

He... started to bleed and he stumbled.

He came at us and fell.

My granddaughter Paloma took off running.

I tried to catch up to her, but couldn't.

I couldn't find Rocio either.
She wasn't in the car.

They disappeared together.

What did you do next?

Well, I drove through the city.

I hoped I'd find them
but didn't have much luck.

I haven't seen them since, sir.

You're the man!

You're more than that.

I'm going give you half my fortune.
[laughs]

I'll take it.

With what's coming,
I'll need all the help I can get.

How much time do we have?

Less than an hour.

After that, no one will be able
to escape the army's wrath.

How's my girl Teresa?

If things go well,
we'll all be with her soon.

- See you at the house.
- You got it.

[laughs] Come on, babe.

[commissioner] There's a child who claims
the assailant was a young woman

who was dressed in black.

[Cayetana]
Sir, I told you everything was very dark.

You could hardly see anything.

And I...

have been mourning the death of my son
for the last ten years.

Sir, believe me when I tell you

that I'm the one
who killed Juan Jose Montoya.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

[Lupo] Take it.

Now drink it.
