La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 3, Episode 35 - Que gane el mejor - full transcript

A NETFLIX SERIES

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

This isn't just another casino.

All kinds of deals are signed here.

I'm listening to the mic.

AUDIO RECEPTION SYSTEM

They'll change all locks
and place an extra guard.

That's another way to go back.

What are you doing here?

I'm not a beginner.

Tomorrow at 10:00. Be on time.



There are several loose ends
in that story.

Lorenzo doesn't usually invite
new people so soon.

What did you do to earn his trust?

Seventy-five percent of the population
supports your government.

I want more allies
if I'm to be re-elected.

And you're going to help me.

This is the key to the office.

Promise me to abort the mission
at the first sign of danger.

What kind of person would be
a DEA agent's ideal informant?

It could be a politician
or someone from the military.

A banker could work, too.

It could be anyone.

How am I doing?

Once I've got something to say,
I will say it, eh?



Stop asking, okay?

Okay.

What is it?

Here? Right now?

No, no. He can't come here.

No way. Tell him I'm going to him.
Yeah, okay.

Guys, I need to go out for a moment.

Keep working. I'll be right back.

MATOS WENT OUT TO MEET WITH SOMEONE

He's leaving.

-Let's go before we lose him.
-Yeah.

What should I do? Tell Faustino?

You'll be in charge of Sofía's safety.

What does it say?

That we should take care of Sofía
while they go after the painter.

But that man already left.

My sis needs to place
that microphone and we need to be there.

Good morning.

Seems like he's waiting for someone.

-How are you? Sorry for the delay.
-That's mostly him.

Don't worry about it.

What do you think?

Play along and step
in front of the camera.

Back to them.

A picture, right?

That's right.

Did this arrive today?

Today, yes.

Mr. Ruben hasn't seen this.

What's that?

Can I move now?

Wait. He's taking out something.

That's the thing you need to show.

Pretty, right?

It is pretty.

Was it found in the same place?

-That's right.
-Okay.

Perfect.

Hello?

Yes, Sir, okay.

There you are.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-How is it?
-Can you see me?

I see you clearly.

NO MICROPHONE SIGNAL

-Nothing.
-Are you sure?

Either she didn't place it
or she forgot to turn it on.

Understood. Tell me
if you get anything, okay?

-Of course. You can count on that.
-See you then.

What happened?

She hasn't placed the mic yet.

Why? She had enough time.

I don't know. In any case,
she's probably fine

or she would have screamed.

What about you, man?

Tell me, how are you feeling
about all this?

It's way more than I expected,
to be honest.

That's normal

One gets used to this, to war.

I hope I never get used to it.

Look.

Once this is over,
I'd like to be like that with Sofía.

-Get to know the world.
-What?

Are you serious?

Is your dream to be a smelly backpacker
who never takes a shower?

-This man!
-Who says they don't?

I lived in the streets. It's the same,
but better because you travel.

This man's going to make me cry.

All that sounds nice, son,
but hear me out.

Sofía didn't live
like a princess all her life, true,

but listen,

she always had food and a comfortable bed.

Are these your words or Teresa's?

No, no, dude. I'm on your side.

This piece of advice comes from Faustino.
If you plan to get serious with Sofía,

you'll need more
than a backpack and determination.

Is that what you've done?

Me?

Who else? Who am I talking to?

Is this all you did
during all the time I was gone?

I was looking for a better angle and...

And maybe you're not
as good as you thought.

Eh?

The goal is to catch the attention
of the best poker players

and pretend you're a pro.

I'll teach you how to do that.

I think it's a good plan.

I know from experience that men
are competitive. It's in their nature.

They'll come out
once a good player appears.

Memory is important, but you need
to use it in a different way.

What one could do is to remember

the cards that leave the pile,
as well as my own,

to compile all the information you can
and estimate one's chances.

Come play so we can get it.

What would you do with this hand?

I'd pass.

Well, these two are hearts.
It there are two more over here...

That's it, right?

Yeah. I'd play the hand with hearts.

But to get a perfect game,

and thus being able to bet "sky high"
like you guys say,

you'd need the next card
to be of equal value.

Each suit contains 13 cards,
and four have been played,

so there are only nine cards left
in the suit I'm going for.

That's where the first formula lies.

Thirteen minus the four I have,
equals nine.

Then I estimate my chances.

I'll remove my opponents' cards
from the 52

that make up the deck.
That'd be...

-Eight.
-Right.

Then I'll subtract the previous number,
which was...

Nine.

Right. Now I'll divide it by nine.

That'd be 52 minus 17, divided by nine.

That'd be... 3,88.

Exactly!

That means that for every win,
I'll lose 3,88 times.

Thus, my probability is...

25,7%.

The chance of the next card
belonging to the hearts suit

is 25,7%.

I could bet high on that.

Check this.

Impressive, boy.

Impressive, although I didn't get
any of what you said.

Me neither, but...

let's set up this act in the casino.

You're wasting your time, man.

No one lives there. They left.

When did they leave? Where did they go?

I don't know, and I don't know
you either. Who are you?

Eh... a friend of Luciano, from work.
We haven't seen him.

We called because we're worried.

I don't know about him.
I just saw his wife and kids,

and his poor mother-in-law, who's too sick
to be moved that much.

Do you know if they'll be back?

I don't think so.
They took everything.

They didn't say
where they were going.

Ungrateful people,
they didn't say goodbye.

Have you heard anything about Luciano?

No, man. I'm telling you
they didn't even say goodbye.

Okay... thanks, anyway.

You're welcome. See you.

-What are you doing here?
-Hi! You scared me.

Classes are over
and that's not your classroom.

-What do you need?
-I...

I love colonial buildings
and old figurines.

I'm sorry if I wandered where I shouldn't.

Do you make this over here, too?

Yeah. It's really simple,
but it sells well.

They bring me good memories.

Take one.

It's on the house.

Thank you so much.

Well... see you.

Now I understand
why you didn't know where to go.

Sheila, are you okay?

Yeah. I would have liked

to rehearse a bit more, but...

Relax. Everything will go fine.

What about you? Are you okay?

-Everything's fine.
-We're in your hands, okay?

Well...

I'm sorry for pressuring you.

One of the advantages of having no cameras
is that it'll be harder to catch us.

Assuming we manage
to pick our table,

which tables would you pick?

The ones at the sides.

Never the ones in the middle.

I want you more Mexican than ever.
Keep that accent in check.

Mm-hmm.

Lorenzo.

Welcome, good evening!

Thank you, my dear Lorenzo.

You really liked the casino, right?

We liked it so much
we brought some company.

That's my son, Bruno.

Hello.

He really wanted to come.
I hope you don't mind.

No, no. And to be honest,
it's uncommon for us

to have a kid his age around.

And when they come,

the last thing they want is
to be with their moms.

No, I don't want that, but my mother
talked so much about this place

that I wanted to check
if she was exaggerating.

I can see she wasn't. It's really cool.

What's with the Spanish accent?

You don't know much about my past,
but my first marriage

was with a Spaniard.

He was born and raised in Spain.

He spent all of his childhood back there.

We're now trying to get back
some of that lost time, right?

Yeah.

So cute. I'm really glad.

I also brought my assistant, Lupita.
You already know her, right?

She's always with me,
and she wanted to see this place, too.

It's a pleasure, Mr. Mortati.

My pleasure.

I assume you will play today?

Not only that. I intend
to empty everyone's pockets tonight.

This way, then.

Let's go.

Go on.

Good evening.
Welcome and thanks for coming.

Danilo Márquez, press secretary.

I've been assigned by the president
to welcome you all. Good evening.

Nice to meet you.
This is my wife, Cecilia de Cárdenas.

Welcome, ma'am. Pleased to meet you.

Have you been
to the National Palace before?

No, this is my first time here.
I'm dying to see it.

If you need anything,
I'm at your service, ma'am.

I've been here before.
I had dinner with the previous president.

All I hope is that you have
a new chef, now.

Don't get your hopes too high.

Our chef has been here
for the last three terms.

Go ahead, please.

The president is waiting.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

-Huguito.
-Lorenzo.

-How's it going?
-Good. What about you?

I want you to meet
Elena Bocanegra, Felipe.

-A pleasure.
-Huguito here...

is one of the best players in Buenos Aires

and he's got
many common interests with you.

Stop, Lorenzo, you're exaggerating.

But about those interests,
I'm always willing to listen.

That's what we always say. Right, dear?

-Mm-hmm.
-Great!

Good luck, have fun.

-Great.
-Let me know how it goes.

-Pleased to meet you, Hugo.
-The pleasure is mine.

What do you do?

We own a shipping company.

It's one of the largest in Argentina.
It's my family's business.

-That's good.
-What about you?

-Didn't Lorenzo tell you?
-No, nothing.

He seems to enjoy suspense.

No, we are into investments.
That's our thing.

We're now trying to branch out.
We'd like to come to Argentina

if we find a good option.

That sounds good.

Here's a good option,
we could start playing, if you want.

So be it.

Good luck.

You won't play?

Against Elena? Never.

Whenever I beat her,
I have to sleep on the couch.

I'll be watching.

Welcome, Mr. Deputy.

Thank you for accepting my invitation.

Thank you, Mr. President, but I won't deny
that your invitation surprised me.

The two of us have
more similarities than differences.

Besides...

we wanted to meet you as a couple.

Everyone is talking about you two.

Who says so?

The media. All the media.

Cecilia and I have tried
to stay away from the spotlight,

so I don't know
which media you're talking about.

Well, the media.

We're public people, after all.

As politicians,
the people are interested in us.

My condolences.

Diego and I regret your father's death.

Thank you so much.

These have been difficult times.

Yes, that's right.

Difficult days for both of us.

Antonio's death...

was a hard blow.

We haven't been able
to fully recover and I think...

that we won't.

Excuse me.

Ah...

Deputy, ma'am, dinner's ready.

Let's go to the dining room, then.

-Thank you.
-Please.

I confess that I love
being here. All the details...

I know how you feel, ma'am,
but please make an effort.

Breathe.

I try, I really do, but sometimes...

it's too much.

There's no other way. Stay calm.

Why don't you stay?

To have a friendly face close.

It'd help me.

-Vevita?
-Yes?

Is everything fine?

Yes, of course. I was asking Danilo
to stay for dinner.

Oh, but Danilo
has some things to attend to.

I'd think there's nothing more important
than keeping the president company.

We have no issue with it.

In fact, I think it'd be a good idea.

Of course, of course.

Where there's room for one,
there's room for six.

Come on.

Thank you very much.

-Please, go ahead.
-Go ahead.

I hear you clearly.
The signal's good.

This will drive you crazy.

This was
after he went into the room

What about this marvel, eh?

What do you think? I can't believe it.

It's unbelievable.
I had never seen anything like it.

Imagine how much we could get.

But we haven't finished getting it, eh?

What the fuck are they talking about?

Yeah, but...

Where's the client from?
Not from around here, I'd say.

There's no client.
He's a German archaeologist.

If he can confirm its authenticity,
finding a buyer won't be difficult.

Do you get it? I haven't met him yet.

You're the only one with that picture.

How will logistics work this time?

The meeting point will be
Santo Domingo church.

Tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.

Give him the fragment I sent you.

He'll retrieve them, take them to camp,

and then I'll take care of them.

They'll probably stay
for a few days. I'm not sure.

I've got to go.

Call me if anything happens, eh?

Okay. Thank you, see you.

Well done, Sofía.

We may be close
to finding the Red Rider.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

With your permission.

I'm sorry, but I'm taking your money.

Relax, relax. Cheers.

Difficult, right?
The Mexican plays well.

Enough to have Huguito worried, no?

Thanks.

Listen...

Did Lorenzo tell you why she's here?

I never ask
unless I'm asked for my opinion.

Sure, like the exemplary judge
that you are.

Of course.

Seems like there were complications
with her business in Mexico.

-So?
-So she's looking

for alternate routes for her merchandise
here in the south.

She also wants to take advantage
of the situation of banks and companies

willing to join her
to reinvest their profits.

I hope she doesn't need
a judge's services.

At least not in the beginning.

No, relax. She seems to be a shark.

She'll eat me first, then you,
and then whoever crosses her path.

Who says?

Those were Lorenzo's words.

She doesn't look like someone
who is in this kind of business.

I didn't know there was
a specific face for this kind of business.

There is. You'll understand one day.

Sir, I'll have
to take your money once again.

-I'm sorry. Don't lose hope.
-Cheers.

Never. Let's do it again?

-Another round, please.
-Okay, another one.

That, Diego, is the reason
we supported that...

education reform that you presented.

May I speak frankly, Mr. President?

Of course. And you may call me Epifanio.

I don't understand your sudden interest.

You had never even
mentioned the topic before.

That's strange.

I've always been interested
in kids having sexual education.

Right, dear?

Always, yes.

-Good education, of course.
-Yeah.

See? Not the one
they get at school nowadays.

I completely agree on that.

You can't even ask kids
whether they're a man or a woman

because you're attacking their freedoms.

That's an aberration. Completely.

I've always said so.

Maybe you should
hold that opinion publicly.

This country needs to hear clear messages.

I will do so...

at the right time.

But I will.

I don't mean to be nosy,
but could I see the palace after dinner?

But of course.

-Vevita?
-Yes.

Maybe my wife could show you
the palace's gardens.

Of course, gladly!

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

-Yeah.
-Cheers, then.

-Didn't you like the food?
-It's delicious.

Delicious. I loved it.

Vevita cooked.

Please clean your plates.

I think it went fine.

First, we need to follow Matos.

I'm sure that man will take us
directly to the archaeologist.

Then he'll lead us
to the Red Rider, or not?

It'd be better if, Anton,
you and I took care of this.

What will we do?

You'll stay here.

It's important for you to attend classes
to avoid raising suspicion,

and to try to acquire more information.

Okay, I'll do that.

You should continue protecting her.

I shouldn't need to emphasize
that you should not take risks.

You've done enough.

I know.

I know that you know.

But will you do it?

Will you take care of yourself?

I will.

Okay,
but once you locate the camp

and capture the Red Rider,
what should we do? What's next?

That's
where the difficult part begins.

Once we have Ruben under custody,

we need to force him to give us the key.

A key like the one Karen had.

That one.

Next.

Not bad, but...

What can I say?

Jack poker. I can't believe it.

-Another one?
-Sure.

-Yeah?
-Yes.

Thanks.

No!

How could this be happening?

I'm sorry. I'm lucky today.

I don't think so, no.

-Come here...
-How's it going today?

-Cheers...
-Yeah. Where's my car?

Another glass, please.

-How could this happen?
-I'm sorry.

Hell yeah!

I'm sorry. Forgive me
for taking all your money, gentlemen.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

At least tell me
that you're losing with dignity, Huguito.

No. I lost my dignity two hands ago.

Let me introduce you
to the cause of my misery.

Pleased to meet you. Elena Bocanegra.

Samuel Gravier.

If Hugo allows it,
I'll be your next opponent.

If that's fine with you, I don't mind.

I trust Samuel.

Very well.

Good luck, eh? You're gonna need it.

-Elena, it was a pleasure.
-The same.

Let me warn you
that I taught Hugo how to play.

An awful job.

He was never a good pupil.

Oh.

I'm in awe of the kind
of important decisions taken here.

It must be exciting,
being witness to what happens here.

Yeah, yes. Very exciting.

What do you enjoy
about being the First Lady?

Everything, I imagine.
Just look at where you live.

That's precisely it,
the place where I live.

I admit that,
when your husband was elected,

I thought you'd be
like the other first ladies.

Excuse me, what?

The ones who meddle in everything.

They're obsessed with stealing
the spotlight from their husbands,

but not you.

I was pleasantly surprised to see you
take a more discreet approach

as time passed.

Hmm...

Well, you know.

You like that, right?

Of course. As Diego says,
it sets a good example.

Particularly these days.

We should stay in the shadows

supporting our husbands
so they can be leaders.

Okay.

Would you like to see another section?

Of course, gladly!

-Ah!
-I'll go with you.

Everything's so imposing!

I assume these pictures

will stay between us, not in the media.

Of course. They're just for remembrance.

Excuse me.

Let me see how they look.

Ah, I used to have
a camera just like this.

It may be more difficult than we thought.

Particularly with the issue
of re-election.

When? Can't you see
that he got me by the balls?

-I couldn't do it.
-There's time lift.

I definitely don't like
the way I look here.

I'm not...

photogenic.

What do you think about them?

Does the camera favor me?

I think you look great.

I think we'll approach him
from a different angle.

Life is full of surprises.

You were right about the chef.
He hasn't improved.

I tried to warn you, Sir.

Why don't you call me by my first name?

I thought you liked to follow protocol.

Only with people I don't trust.

No, no, Teresa.

This isn't working.

Getting everyone's attention
didn't help in any way.

Pablo...

maybe he isn't here today.

What if he's not here tomorrow either?

For how long will this go on?

You know I don't have much time.

But we've made a lot of progress.

No. We need to come up with something.

Another plan or anything.

Hey, you're not listening.

Elena.

You've earned a lot of money.
We need to exchange the chips.

Is something wrong?

Nothing. You know what? Let's leave now.

Elena.

You can't leave. I need you.

Me? Why?

Because...

there's someone who wants to meet you.

He'd like to strengthen ties or something.

You know how it is.
It's impossible for you to avoid notice.

I'll stay if you want.

I don't mean to be rude, but...

I think it'd be better if you stay
and she comes alone.

But don't worry.

She's in good hands.

That's fine with me.

I'll see you later.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

Go ahead.

Relax.

What did Mortati mean
by "strengthen ties"?

He probably found a good candidate

for Teresa to get
into that supposed business, no?

Someone important enough
to be that mysterious?

Do you think we've found the Rider?

I'd say we shouldn't get
our hopes high so soon.

I know what's happening.

Why were you taken out?

Ask your boss.

He probably doesn't like me.

Hmm.

When does fun end in the casino?

It's almost over.

How did Elena do? Did she win?

Yeah, she did great.

Hmm.

She probably caught
the three lads' attention, right?

The three lads?

Samuel, Hugo, Gregorio.

I showed them to you the other day.
Gregorio is the one with the cigar.

-If you remember?
-I remember.

-But why all that mystery?
-They're just like that.

Mortati loves them, so they do
whatever they want in the hotel.

It's just like that.

Is there anything
I should be worried about?

They're not exactly
what you'd call saints,

but Elena is the one
who should be worried, not you.

Just look at you. A man like this,

by himself in a hotel's bar,
late at night.

I wouldn't let you.

Do you think I'm in danger?

I think you're already in danger, yes.

May I have a sip of your drink?

Why don't I order one for you?

You could tell me more dangerous stuff
about your boss' friends.

If Elena saw you right now...

We are in an open relationship.

Don't you see how happy we are?

Too bad. My taxi is here.

I need you to give me back my hand.

If you don't mind.

Thank you very much.

I'm leaving desiring...

that drink.

I hope Elena goes on winning
and for her night to end well.

Winning?

The three lads must have her
playing poker.

That's what they invited her for.

Almost, almost.

Look who's waiting for you.

Gentlemen, let's welcome her.

Of course. This way, dear.

You've already met Hugo and Samuel.

I'd like to introduce you to Gregorio.

Gregorio is a federal judge,

and die-hard poker player.

Welcome.

Thank you. Please to meet you.

Excuse me, but I don't understand
what I'm doing here.

Well... only true professionals
play down here.

I'll translate that.

The only ones who play down here...

are those whom my three pedantic friends

consider worthy rivals.

You're welcome here. You've been chosen.

I mean, do you want to play again?

Yes. To play and to defeat you.
This is a rematch.

Allow me to warn you
that the bets out there are nothing.

We bet big-time here.

Ah, don't worry about the money.

She's not shy about spending it, right?

Yes, Lorenzo told us about the coat.

-Yeah?
-Yes. I think it's great.

The thing before was just a warm-up.

Let's do this, guys, shall we?

Are you ready?

-Yes.
-Good.

Let's see
how long does your luck last.

Shall we begin, Elena?

-Of course.
-Good.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

How likely is it?

This is a matter of intelligence,
not strength,

What is it?

Don't tell me my three friends
managed to intimidate you.

Forget about business
and let's play, okay?

This is probably
what Matos received yesterday.

Now type "C:/"

I don't know what's happening.
It's taking too long to download.

It's halfway through.

EXIT

DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE

What the fuck are you doing?
On the ground! Quickly!

Move!
