La Reina del Sur (2011–2019): Season 3, Episode 5 - La Bienvenida - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY

Why would Teresa Mendoza
be interested in going to Colombia?

I see you again, Mom.

I'm already here,
and I will not leave you.

Not for a single moment.

That's why
we have to go to Bolivia.

Jonathan, Anton and Oleg
are waiting for me there.

Finding a former DEA informant,

of whom the only thing we know
is that his name was Black Rider,

is like looking for a needle
in a haystack, damn it.

And what is the plan?



Find the place
where this photo was taken.

I don't want
more fucking lies. Okay?

Tell me where the boy is!
Tell me where he is!

In the daycare, in the daycare!

Pick up.

Where's Ray?

FOUR YEARS AGO

Good thing
my boys caught you in time

to pay you a visit, motherfucker,
don't you think?

So you're saving evidence
despite the friendship you and I had?

-Fucking traitor.
-If I were a traitor,

those papers would already be
in the hands of your enemies, boss.

And you weren't going to use them
against me, right?

Huh?



Hand me the hot iron, man,
I'm going to make a hole in the...

The issue is with me.

-The issue is with me.
-Shh!

-Calm down.
-Leave her.

The issue is with me, kill me.
She has nothing to do with it.

Is it my fault that she has
such bad taste to date you?

Please, please...

You know what?

I'm not going to hurt her, man.

Just because I'm in a good mood.

And since I also promised Teresita
that I would not hurt you,

I'll forgive you this time.

But I'll give you 48 hours, you bastard.

I don't want to see you in this country
ever again.

Because if you two come back,

you and her...

will sign your own death sentence,
motherfucker.

Understood?

Go on.

You can take care of them.

It's over, it's over.

Travel with me?

I don't need help, Batman.
I have enough.

Just remember.

With age comes wisdom.

I can help you.

I know Epifanio Vargas
like the back of my hand.

-I can be of great help to you.
-The mess that I'm in,

-is really fucked up.
-Well, that's why.

You need people you can trust
who will risk their lives for you.

Do you really trust that bastard Landero?

Do you think that by helping me,

Epifanio will forgive you
and let you go back?

Of course.

If, as you say,
this mission is so important to him,

as soon as you tell him that I helped you,
he will forgive me. I know him.

Why do you want to return?

You have your friends and job here,

your enemies are far away.

Well, yeah, Colombia and the beach
is a great place.

Really cool, and the business, but...

you know it's not the same.

I miss Mexico.

I want to die in my land.

Our Mexico.

So? Have you already forgotten

that you were going to avenge
the death of your children?

Look, just be happy to know

that I will not betray you.

What does that mean?

We the living...

are the ones who matter.
The dead are only to be mourned.

And the only living one
I'm interested in

and that I'm concerned about,
is this woman. And I swear on her...

that I will not spoil the plan

and that I will not put your life at risk.
What do you think?

What about you, Sheila?

Are you willing to part ways
with Batman?

No, Teresa. No, no, no.

It's just that... I'm going, too.

No, I mean... uh...

I made an oath.

For better or worse.

With that man, until death.

What then, Teresa?

Shall we close the deal?

It's Paloma.

-Paloma?
-Teresa, help me.

What happened?

Some men entered the country house
looking for Sofía and...

and they killed my college classmate,

Trini, too, I think.
I don't know well.

We both got beaten

and they also tied us up.

Could you see who they were?

No, no.
I had never seen them, no.

They are not from here.
They spoke English.

Well,
are you and the child are okay?

I managed to escape...

They went for my kid in kindergarten
and killed the teacher...

but he hid and...

Ray! Ray, Love!

Thank God he is doing well.

I don't know what to do.
Fuck, I don't know what to do!

Staying is not an option, Paloma.

Paloma, this is Batman.

Go to the sea, to a port.

-To the sea?
-Yes.

We have people there
who can help us.

People we do business with.

Hide where you can.

In a warehouse,
in a library, wherever,

and wait for our call
with more information.

Okay.

But please don't take too long,
don't take too long.

DENVER, U.S.

When our man arrived,
the boy was no longer there.

He looked for him everywhere.

He called someone,
picked him, I don't know.

It would be
of an official nature.

Done.

This letter makes it is clear
that you are going on a mission

to Bolivia.

If you have any problem,

you demand that they call the ambassador.

He already knows about your visit,

he doesn't know
where you're going.

Okay, buddy.

Ready?

Come on in!

Mr. President,
I apologize for the interruption.

Come in, come in. What is it?

Uh...

Do you remember the bodies of the men
we were looking for?

-Of course.
-Those who attacked Mendoza.

-Of course.
-The bodies have not appeared.

What?
Did the police find them, or what?

No. I made a few calls
and they don't have them.

In fact, they were surprised

because they had no information
that anything had happened in the area.

What the hell?

-So, where are they then?
-Well, that's the issue.

-I will continue to investigate.
-Go.

-Look thoroughly!
-Yes, sir.

It's weird, isn't it?

Really weird.

Just as I assumed.

They went to look for the bodies
of my men.

Fortunately,
we had already cleaned up the area,

And have you finally been able to find out
who the man accompanying Teresa is?

The name Mireles gave us

belongs to a major
who passed away several years ago.

But I think we're not getting anywhere
with that.

We are already looking for someone
in Colombia to help us find them.

Maybe that's not necessary.

I know someone really powerful

who can put that information to good use.

-The fuck?
-Yes.

And who is this person?

It's crystal clear, Sheila.

The ones who went to visit Paloma
are the DEA scumbags.

But when they didn't find me,
they focused on her.

Yeah, but they never looked
for the girl before.

I know, because they had me there.
Now they really need her.

Yeah, and how did they find her
so quickly?

It's not even a week
since you escaped from prison.

I don't know, but they have a lead
and they're moving too fast.

You think they can track her here?

That's what I want to avoid.

Who's going to track me?

Those who went looking for you
to Malaga: the DEA.

They beat Paloma.

-What?
-They were after Ray.

-Wha... How is Ray, Mom?
-Are they well?

She's fine, they're all fine.
It's just that...

they managed to escape.
Sorry, excuse me.

I was looking for you.

We have a problem,

a big one.

Jonathan.

Indeed.

I see a second condor.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

This is the place in the photo.
I'm sure.

It's abandoned.

It could have been a travel agency

but there are also
several businesses as fronts.

I'll try to get in for a little bit.

Wait, wait, wait.

There are two men.

They are putting something
inside a backpack.

I don't know what it is.
It could be weapons or anything else.

Where are you?

-Tell me the name of the street.
-Can I have one? Thank you.

Ahuichote Street.

I'm notifying Anton
and we'll be on our way.

All right.

No, no, no. Wait.

You won't make it on time.
They are leaving.

I will follow them.

Be very careful, Jonathan.

Don't take too many risks.

Here we can only consult the records

of people who left the country
or the community.

That's just what I need.

Could you check it, please?
It is urgent.

Yes.

Let's see, let's see...

Well, as I was saying:
if the person didn't leave by ground,

-can't do anything.
-Thank you.

Could you enter the name? It's Sofía.

-Of course, let's see.
-Sofía.

Let's see, Sofía...

I totally forgot.

-Last name?
-Dantes.

-Dante?
-Dantes.

Dante...

What's her nationality?

She's Italian.

How long ago
did she arrive in the country?

How long ago did you travel?

No, I wouldn't know, okay?

That's why I came here.
Can you look it up? Just hit enter.

Let's see.

Yes, she traveled alone.

How long does it take?

Well, when do you want to know?

Look, let's tap it a little, let's see.

Hey, we got lucky. Let's see...

Wait.

Can you scroll down?

-Lower. Lower, lower.
-Lower, lower. I'm on it.

Wait, here!
Stop. Can you zoom in on the card?

We will try to see if we can.

Here...

I don't know much about this, you know?

Done, there is no record
of Sofía Dantes in our database.

-Are you sure?
-Confirmed.

What the fuck happened?
Let's see.

What happened to the information?

Listen, don't worry I only need to...

-Let's see, let's refresh the page.
-Well, refresh it then.

Nothing happened.

Let's see, here it goes.

There is no record
under the search name.

I swear on my mother that this
has not happened to me before, you know?

Where the fuck did the information go?

Where the fuck is Sofía's information?

Now, listen to me.

Did anyone tell you
to delete this information?

What do you mean "delete"?
It has not been deleted.

I haven't touched anything, you know? I...

The only one who has access
to this computer is me.

Is there another database

where they can track
her departure from Europe?

Nothing is left.

Good, excellent.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-To you. Take care.
-I owe you one, man.

-Hugs.
-Hugs.

It is done.

Officially, Sofía has never left Spain.

No, no.

-Are you the bus driver?
-Wait a moment, yes.

Please, we need to get out.

-Follow that truck.
-You won't get me in trouble.

I'll pay you double, but please,
I can't lose him.

Just follow it, not too close.

Oleg, they got on a truck.

I will follow them in a cab.

Come on. Go, go, go!

The driver is coming.

Jonathan said that the truck came down
Santa Cruz Street

Where to?

Over there.

What will I do
if something happens to you?

Look... I won't be able to stand that.

I'll put up with anything else,
but not with you not being around anymore.

The plan is that Paloma and Ray
will arrive in Arauca

in three days and I'll bring them myself.

Thank you very much
for keeping my daughter with you.

I am truly relieved
knowing that you are here with her.

Please take good care of her, okay?

What? Come on, girl. You know that...

I swear by the man above

that I'll take care of her as my own.

No!

-This shit is falling off.
-Where is the red carpet for Sheila,

who is going around the world
like Willy Fog?

Come, get the stuff in.

Here you go.

Honey, take care of my things.
Especially my clothes.

If you like something, you can keep it.

So? What's up, Batman?

What didn't you like?
Poor service or what?

What happened to this dynamic duo?
Is it over?

No, no, no.
We'll still keep seeing each other.

I'll see you again soon, Robin.

Promise me you'll take good care
of yourself, Mom.

Promise me you will come back soon.

This time I am not able
to last so long without you.

I promise you.

But only...

because you know that since I have you,
I take care of myself a lot.

So you have to promise me the same.
You have to take care of yourself...

because there are bad people after you.

-Do you understand?
-I promise, Mom.

I love you.

And I love you.
We'll see each other very soon.

We'll see each other again.
Come on, bro.

This is your home, too.

I'll be waiting for you.

-Take good care of yourself.
-You, too. I love you.

I'll park over here.

Oleg, where are you?

The truck stopped.

I am in an abandoned building.

They got off the truck.

I am trying to locate the address.

What do you see there?
What are the men doing?

I can't see what they're doing exactly,

but I suspect it's no good.

I'm going to drop you here, sir.
I have to keep working.

Okay, go. Here you go.

-I'm stepping out of the cab.
-Wait, Jona...

Oh, well.

I don't want these two to be a hindrance.

Hey, you.

These two have a name, you know?
Cesar and Sheila.

So...

shame on you.

Don't stir the pot, buddy,

because I was the one
who got the transportation, you know?

Well, don't compromise the plans, okay?

Your boss Epifanio,
because he is your boss,

he told me
that I could recruit the people I wanted.

And they, Sheila and Batman,
are my people.

We do not need them.

The only one I don't need is you.

So? Are we going to the market?

What's wrong with you? Again?

-You're boring.
-You're boring.

-You're the boring one.
-No, you are.

Where are you going all alone?

Fucking bastards.

And why did you accept that?

I was against it,
but you know how she is.

She would not budge on that point.

She told me they were part of her team.

Yes, I know her.
She is stubborn.

But if you want, I can...

find a way to do it on the side.

No, no, no.

I don't want unnecessary problems
with her right now.

You have to take care of Batman.
That asshole...

you have to be careful with him.
He's no idiot.

Don't worry, nobody here will make a move
without me knowing about it.

I hope so.
Let me know about the progress.

Hello, Vevita.

Hey, love.

-Sandra, please.
-Sandrita, please.

What do you want?

How long are you going
to keep wearing long sleeves, huh?

I mean,

not that I want anyone to see
what you've done to yourself, but...

well, it can be covered up
in another way, right?

For example, with makeup.

This is neither the time nor the place
to be talking about this, please.

Yeah. Just remember the psychiatrist said
that we had to talk...

Enough, already! Enough.

Hey.

You have to acknowledge what you did.

If you acknowledge what you did,

it will be better.

Well, sonny.

Where are you going, Daddy?

Well, I'm going to work.

We presidents don't sleep, son!

Goodbye, Vevita.

Do all the boxes
contain the same merchandise?

Yes, they all contain the same thing.

-Open one to verify.
-Sure.

No, no, no.

Open this one.

That one?

Hurry up,
I have two planes to check!

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

Just don't forget
that you have to put them on the scale.

No, sir. I won't forget.

Is he gone?

Holy shit...

I need a tequila.

I need two!

Oleg.

-How was the trip?
-Good.

How is Sofía?

Huge! She grew up so much.

Hello, Anton.

Welcome.

Oleg!

My favorite Russian.

How are you?

How are you, my Russki?
How are you doing?

Hey, you look more fucked up

than when you were covered in bullets
in my house.

What about you?

Did you get pregnant or what?

Very funny. Get in the van.

Sheila and Batman wanted to join in

so I brought them along.
I believe they can help us.

Is something wrong?
Hey, where's Jonathan?

That is what I would like to know.

I need you to give me his location.

We haven't seen him since yesterday.

-Are you drinking?
-Boss.

The man had this on him.
It looks fancy.

Well, take the boxes out.
Put them in the warehouse.

It's liquor. Be careful, okay?

It is inventoried.

Was he carrying anything else?
Documents, papers?

This phone, but it's broken.

It's useless.

What about the girls?

We already delivered them.
They should be arriving at their new home.

Here's what you asked for, Boss.

Let's see what our guest has to tell us.

You take the truck.

Let's go.

Hi, good morning!

How are you doing, my friend?

This monkey is shivering.

Haven't you given him something
to stand the cold?

Take this out and hang him up.

That way he can stretch up
and warm up the skin.

What happened
after he got out the cab?

Did you hear from him again?

We called him, but he no longer answered.

Something must have happened
with the cell phone. We couldn't trace it.

I got it.

On the outskirts of the city,
not too far away.

An area with no roads
in the middle of nowhere.

Anton, you know what?
Stop wherever you can.

Stop here, stop here.

You know what?
It will be best if we split up.

Go and look for a place
where we can stay,

somewhere discreet,
low profile, but spacious.

We'll be looking for Jonathan.

Okay. Don't worry, Teresa,
we'll find something good.

Let's go.
Do your best, okay?

And tell Jonathan he disappointed me.

I was expecting him
to greet me with a marching band.

Come, love.

You can't breathe in here.
I'm already getting overwhelmed.

And you also have to wear a mask.

Where are we going to go, Sheila?

They didn't even give us a map,

-not even a fucking...
-What map?

They speak our language here.
Look. Excuse me.

-Yes?
-We are foreigners

and we are looking for
a place to rent, to stay.

Could you tell me
in which part of the city...?

From here, two blocks up,
there is a hotel on the right side.

Maybe there.

No, we don't want a hotel.
We want a place to rent.

Yes, apartment...
It's just that we are family.

Yes, they can tell you because...

Okay, okay, thank you,
very kind of you!

Where are the eyes
of the Spaniard I loved?

Oh, dear God!

I am deciding between here and Ecatepec,

which people say is also cool.

How long until the next stop?

This is the stop.

-We're really high up.
-How are we getting out?

Look at that building, how cool.

But look at the one
that's over there. Look.

Jonathan is still
in the same place.

I don't understand.

Why would they bring him here?
There is nothing.

Without water, without shelter
and in these conditions,

no one would survive for long.

Especially at night.

Well, there is a possibility
that he was brought in lifeless.

This is a good place
to dispose of a body.

Hey...
No, don't even say that as a joke.

Well, I'm just saying
there's the possibility.

There are other possibilities.

How much longer till we get there?

I would say 30 minutes, give or take.

Well, we must hurry.

You're making a mistake here.

I ask the questions here.

Listen, I ask and you answer.

No more and no less.
Who are you?

Why were you following my men?

I was not following anyone.

I told them last night.

-This is a misunderstanding.
-What about the gun?

Is that also a misunderstanding? Huh?

Apparently...

this country is very dangerous.

I was only...

You can tell this guy is not from here.

Where are you from?

Mexican boy, right?

You are not a policeman.
There are no foreign police officers here.

Who sent you, buddy?

Someone who wants to pass over me?

-Who sent you? Speak up, damn it!
-I already told you.

I have nothing to do with you, dude.

I was just lost.

That's all.

Isn't it better to answer my questions?

Do you want to talk to them?

Talk to them, then.

Let me know when he sings, damn it.

Wait!

Hold on! Wait, you bastard.

-Get me out of here.
-You're done speaking with me!

You have something to say,
you're going to say it with them.

You're so fucking impatient.

Get me out of here, you bastard!

Get me out!

How far are we now?

According to this,
we should be seeing it already.

I don't know,
but this fucking altitude is killing me.

You know what?

-We should split up to see if...
-Shh! Come here!

Check this out.

That must be it.

They must have him there.

There are four playing
and one watching.

And another one further away.

There must be more inside the house.

And they must be all armed.

And what do we have
to defend ourselves? Nothing.

Well,
I have ammunition for a single shot.

And I have this.

Honestly, it's not much.

Well, it's better than nothing.

What we need now is a plan.

Let me tell you
what we're going to do.

Okay?

I will pay you.

Let's forget about your boss.

Whatever you want.
I have a lot of money.

-Excuse me!
-What are you doing here?

-You shouldn't be here.
-No, I know. Calm down.

I had an accident, you see.

You don't look like you have money.

Really?

-But a friend of mine does.
-I don't believe you.

Can't you see, you bastard?
Fucking annoying.

I don't know which way to go.
I think I hurt my ankle.

Please...

-Do you believe him?
-No.

Are you alone?

Yes, of course.
Could you help me, please?

Ready.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Mr. Alcala. Sorry for the delay.

I have to get used to the traffic
in this city.

Yes, don't worry. On the contrary.

Thank you very much
for coming to this... meeting.

And I'm going to ask you a favor.

For you, I am still Antonio.

Good.

Well.

For a journalist
returning to the country,

meeting with the head of the opposition

is an opportunity
that cannot be missed.

But...

I'm a little intrigued.
Tell me what all the mystery is about.

In fact, this meeting...

is unprofessional

and I require full confidentiality.

It's about... my daughter.

Genoveva.

She really appreciated you
in college, remember?

Yes, of course.
I also appreciate her.

-I only see her on television.
-Yes, I understand.

Well, that's why I called you.

She needs you.

Ma'am.

I have orders from Mr. President

that he cannot be interrupted
for anything in the world.

Why, who is he with or what?

The press team.

As I understand it,
something important and delicate came up.

Like that, like that...

That's the spot.

Slowly.

You're so pathetic, Epifanio.

A decadent...

dirty old man who is messing around
with a little girl

-who looks like his granddaughter.
-Stop it, Vevita.

How do you come up
with this crazy stuff?

Everyone knows it!

I'm sick and tired
of not being able to see my dad.

I'm sick and tired of not being able
to get out of these four fucking walls.

I'm sick and tired of you,
son of a bitch!

Well, I'm sick and tired of you...

...and your spectacles.

Look at you.

Besides, if you want to leave,
be my guest.

Take your freedom.

We'll take care of Guicho for you.

I am not leaving...

without my son.

Guicho stays here with me.

He's not going to leave with you.
Look at the state you're in.

You didn't ask for my advice,
but I'll give it to you anyways.

Don't drink so much.

That's not right.

You used to be so elegant.

You've even grown old.

Sir.

-Is it ready?
-Everything is ready.

-Go look for help.
-Yes, sir.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE

She, Teresa,
trusts her emotions more than her head.

I'll tell you something.

We have to give her freedom.

If we don't do it,
she'll become a ticking time bomb.

An interview with Vevita?

Ignacio Duarte, sir.

A popularity walkabout wouldn't hurt.

Well, I hope your popularity walkabout

doesn't turn into a splash of cold water.

If you and Teresa don't find out quickly

who the Black Rider is,

the gringos are going to screw Epifanio.

If Epifanio gets screwed,
we're all screwed, including you and me.

Especially you and your plans.

There he is!
Get down, get down!

Forgive me,
but believe me,

I had nothing to do with that.

I had never seen those guys before
in my life.

I do not owe anyone.
