02x10 - Mejía seeks to be Rosales' vice-presidential formula

[bunniefuu]

A NETFLIX SERIES

HER MOTHER'S k*ller: SEASON 2

Hi, honey.

What's this?

What's wrong?

You have to move out of my place.

You helped Analía
humiliate Juan Mario with that video,

and you didn't tell me.

I just wanted to support him.

Support him?

You only support Analía's obsession
to bring down my dad.

You even kept something important from
me.

Now I'm wondering
what else you've been hiding.

But that wasn't my place.

Of course not.

Analía is always on top of everything.

But I'm fed up.

I've decided to cut off everything
that has to do with Analía.

And that includes you.

Honey, I get why you're upset,

but don't question my feelings for you.

Honey, I love you.

You're the most wonderful thing
in my life.

Can't tell.

Get out of my house right now.

All right.

Don't trust what your dad says.

-Ready?
-Yes.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

The world looks better from up here.

Doesn't it?

Injustice sickens me.

That's why I acted that way yesterday.

Will you forgive me?

I didn't think you were the kind of guy
who cared about these things.

I'm not.

But look what you've done to me.

Hm!

Shall we dance?

Oh, Benji, seriously,

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry that Sofía
broke up with you for helping me.

Don't worry about it.
I would never sell you out.

In fact, I thought it was a family issue

-and that you two would figure it out.
-And how are you?

I don't know.

I have mixed feelings.

On the one hand,
Sofía hurts, but I'm at peace.

-So which one is it, bro?
-Yes, which?

Do you want to be with her or not,
you know?

I love Sofía.

I really thought I could free her
from Mejía's influence, but…

let's be honest.

She loves being a victim
and it's very difficult like that.

Sure, but don't judge her so harshly.

Guillermo has manipulated her
since she was a child.

He fills her with insecurities.

That's why she depends on his approval.

No.

I deeply regret having used them.

It was wrong.

Come on,
don't be so hard on yourself, Froggy.

That was your only way to make sure

they knew their dad
was a rat and a k*ller.

Let her be hard on herself.

That's good.
Have you ever seen her regretful?

-Finally. Very good, Froggy.
-Aw…

Here's to it.

I've always known
that my daughter has a good heart.

That's your weakness
when it comes to Mejía.

Let it stay that way.
I never want to be anything like that guy.

-Never.
-Never.

I want the f*cking king of the universe
to tie me up.

Are you leaving?

Yes.

I got that…

trying to stop my dad's suicide attempt.

I was nine years old.

I did everything I could.

But I couldn't save him.

He was such a coward.

He feared the life he ran away from.

And he left us with a heavy burden.

You wouldn't hurt yourself, would you?

And will you let me die first?

I promise.

Have you forgiven him?

No.

Do you know…

what I've come to understand over time?

Sometimes,
suicide isn't an act of cowardice.

It's not about going against the family.

Sometimes…

suicide can be a heroic act.

And it's the greatest act of love
a father…

can show his child.

Yes, I know that everything
with Juan Mario is tough for you,

but blaming yourself won't help.

Mejía has managed to hurt him.

You know,
I'm sure he's manipulating Sofía too.

So…

are you going to the office?

No. Helena wants to have her mom over
for breakfast.

It's a surprise.
I'll call you when I'm done.

-I love you.
-Me too.

Thank you.

-What's up?
-Ani.

I'm sure that man isn't Mariano Ortega.

-What makes you say that?
-I compared both videos with Mariano's,

and it's a different person. Check it out.

That man is way shorter than Mariano.

And their profiles are slightly different.

Unbelievable.

They used a double to make everyone
believe that Mariano left the hotel alive.

But why would Rosales lie
about the place where he died?

It wouldn't be good for his campaign
for everyone to know how Mariano died.

Plus, it's obvious Mejía controls him.

Let's find out what's really going on.

I texted you all the info about the guys

who were with the apparent Mariano.

And here's the info
on Otoniel that I pulled

-from Detective Martínez's computer.
-Okay. Good.

Hey, thanks, okay?

I really mean it. I know your heart is…

So, if you need anything from me,
whatever it is, I'm here for you.

It proves once again that Mejía
is a m*rder*r and a corrupt man.

We have to save Sofía
and Juan Mario from that guy.

I'm not so sure
about Sofía and Juan Mario.

I don't know because, honestly,
I'm not sure they can trust me again.

But I can assure you about Mejía.
This time, we will take him down.

-Mommy!
-Pull over here, please.

Honey!

-How are you?
-Fine and you?

Fine. Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

-Fine. And you?
-Fine.

Where were you? Were you in that car?

Which car?

No, honey. I took a taxi.

-Did he leave you at the corner?
-No.

No, I went by the bakery,
the one that's behind here, you know?

Then I walked.

Oh, so you had breakfast?

We went to your house
to surprise you and have breakfast.

Sweetie. Why didn't you call me?

We did a bunch of times
but you didn't answer.

Oh, I'm sorry.

My ringer was off, I'm sorry.
But that sounds great.

Let's go, I'll go with you.

Let's go.

-Are you clear about what to do?
-I know what I'm getting into.

We must make them believe we're close,

that we have way more information
that we really have.

Otoniel and company
are definitely hired by Mejía.

-I'll talk about it on the show today.
-No pressure.

I don't feel that way.
I'm not only doing this for you,

I'm doing it for myself
and for all of Mejía's victims

who deserve justice.

Are you aware of what he's capable of?
What he'll do to you?

Yes.

Look, Analía,
every action has a consequence.

That's one of the first things
I learned in this job.

Am I scared? Yes, of course I am.

But it's my chance to make up

for all the terrible things
I supported without knowing.

Please be careful, okay?

-I mean it.
-Don't worry.

I'll ask the president
at the station for protection.

I'm with you on this.

Okay?

I never want to see you again,
you sewer rat.

You're a rat, a backstabber, Benjamín.

Just like Analía, you both are trash.

-Let's talk when you've calmed down.
-I won't calm down…

-Hey, let him go!
-…because you betrayed me.

You and Analía
messed with my freaking life.

I was a fool to trust both of you.

All you did was screw my life up.
You didn't even have the courage

to tell me the truth
all this f*cking time, you as*h*le.

Enough, Juan Mario, calm down and go.
This is no place for drama.

Let him be.

Listen, I'm really sorry,

but it was the only way for you all
to see what a douchebag your dad is.

I'm really sorry.

Okay.

Come on, Sánchez, pick a side.

This is truly unbelievable. It's horrible.

I don't get why they don't cut
Analía out of their lives.

How can't they see
that it's one problem after another?

Well, don't be so unfair.

After all, Juan Mario is complicated too.

I don't understand how you can defend her
when your marriage ended

-when Analía showed up.
-Magda, it's not like that.

Analía came back into Pablo's life

after we had separated.

Now, she's Pablo's girlfriend,

and she and Helena get along really well.

Helena, I'm sorry, but I won't lie.

I don't think Analía is a good person,

and I think
we should be careful around her.

Jaime's defeat in the debate
would have been much more obvious

if it hadn't been
for that terrifying sh**ting.

Jaime had little time to prepare.

Of course, that's not an excuse,
especially if it's the runoff.

Fortunately,

the one who came out of this the worst
was Pablo de la Torre's wife.

What we can't overlook is how unassertive

Jaime was with his responses.

So I called this meeting.

To determine the course of action
we'll take and how to protect him.

Yes, I'm sorry to interrupt, Pedro.

It's crucial that we take action.

To do that, we need to know
exactly how our candidate is behaving

on social media.

What's his approval rate?

You've got the data right in front of you,

and it shows
the situation is quite worrying.

Oh! No, what's this?

You're k*lling me!

Chocolate truffles?

I can't believe it.
Just in time for a sour moment.

Okay, this calls for a break.

And I'll teach you
how to enjoy such a delicacy,

because I can be a truffle lover.

You'll take your truffle.

You'll put it in your mouth.

Don't chew on it.

You'll savor it and savor it,

letting it dissolve in your mouths

until you experience each of its nuances.

Until it finally dissolves entirely.

Please thank the chef for me.

Yes.

The common thread in all the comments

is that he lacks maturity.
The public doubts that he can solve

all the problems facing the country.

So, what do you think I should do
to turn that opinion around?

First, get rid of your enemies.

Those who are spreading rumors
within the party.

Because right now,
you need our full support.

I don't follow.

I didn't even know
I had opponents in my ranks.

I thought this whole thing
ended with Ortega.

That's a problem, Jaime.

When we focus only on the immediate,
we forget to look beyond.

In this job, you have to view the world

and the people in it in three tenses.
Past, present, and future.

Then you'll know how to interpret
every situation and each person.

If you're here, it's because you know
who's trying to screw me over, right?

Yes.

But I'm not here to do you a favor,
but to look after my investment.

I can't afford to lose the election.

So go to the club where the board
is meeting with Pedro Álamo.

Put your running mate in his place

for calling a meeting behind your back

to discuss your poor performance.

The meeting is now.

A hypocrite. A backstabber.

And I thought we were a team.

Calm down, please. This is a public space.

I'm not calming down.

What this scumbag did was serious.
What do you expect me to do?

Stay quiet while this snake
tries to walk all over me?

Aren't you overreacting?
Everything I've done has been to help you.

Do you really think
I'd do something to hurt you?

Don't try so hard.

Save your lies
and that innocent look for your wife.

She listens to you.

Hey, don't mess with my wife.

I won't let you disrespect her.

Those are the attitudes that worry us.

Your insolence, your lack of wisdom
in handling situations.

You know what? I'm done.
That's what's ruining you.

I'm not lifting a finger
to defend your candidacy

because you don't deserve my effort.

Your effort?

If your idea of effort is to conspire
and turn everyone against me, save it.

And know this, Álamo,

when I'm president,
I'm going to take you down.

Don't dare threaten me.

Pedro!

Finally,
Rosales did something right.

I worked out the timing perfectly.

Beautiful.

They're going to beg me
to be the vice-presidential candidate.

It's time to use Fernando.

It's time to cash in
on the favors I've given.

I'm worried about Carolina, Sebas.

I had breakfast with her and my daughter,

and her attitude was, I guess, weird.

Like she was hiding something.

What did you notice that seems off?

I know her.

Her attitude is very strange.

-That's why I need you…
-To do you a favor, I guess.

-Yes.
-Right.

I need you to keep an eye on her, okay?

Be cautious,
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I need to know she's okay
and to protect Helena.

-I'll get on it.
-All right.

-Another one?
-Yes.

You were thirsty.

Okay, thanks.

I can't forgive Rosales
for insulting my husband like that.

Oh, Paulina.

Lucía, darling, how are you?

I wanted to come along.

I'm shocked at what happened at the club.

We were talking about that.
It's outrageous.

A situation that shouldn't be…
But we can't dwell on that.

Right now,
what matters is Pedrito's recovery.

Wait a moment,
it's possible he might not recover.

The doctor told me
he had a serious spike in blood pressure

and suffered a stroke.

It's all thanks to Rosales and his lies.

A true tragedy,
not only for Pedrito's health,

but also for his entire political project.
He dedicated his life to this.

A blow like this
could cost the party the presidency.

Well, if it happens, it's on him.
He deserves nothing less.

I completely understand
where your anger is coming from.

In my personal opinion,

what's important
right now is to be prudent

and not discuss the situation with anyone,

at least until we have
a definitive medical report.

Yes, I absolutely agree.

Plus, Pedro is a very private person,

and he would definitely prefer
to keep this under wraps,

at least until
this unfortunate situation is clarified.

Do you agree, Lucía?

Of course,
our top priority is Pedro's health.

The last thing we want
is a bunch of journalists speculating.

Lucía.

Okay.

Be strong.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hello?

Is everything ready?

Yes, just let me know when.

Get the news out now, just as I told you.

No problem.

Breaking news.

According to reports, Mr. Pedro Álamo,

the vice-presidential candidate
for the Democratic Force Party,

suffered a stroke.

It appears to be quite serious and may
result in irreversible consequences.

While the party and family members
have not released an official statement,

reliable sources have confirmed

that the stroke occurred
after Dr. Álamo had a heated argument

with presidential candidate Jaime Rosales.

Mejía is getting rid of everything

that blocks his path to power.

Is that why he eliminated
Mariano Ortega?

Does he want to be vice president?

That can only happen
if the party's board chooses him.

Of course, Mejía must've already
bought them all off.

He's shown us that he always does
whatever he wants with everyone.

He must have it all figured out.
In fact, I'm sure he has a plan

to get rid of Rosales
if he becomes vice president.

He's wasting his time there,

all the polls show
the rich kid as the winner.

Of course, if he doesn't derail
Pablo's campaign first.

Find out his strategy,
we can't let our guard down.

The media are already reporting
on Álamo's health status.

Camilo is going to have
to make a statement soon.

Line them up
so that I come out looking like the hero.

All right. But you need to really shine

so they can see for themselves
that you're the best choice.

Hi. Am I interrupting?

Not at all.

The lady is leaving.

Yes, I'm heading out.

Okay, get some rest,

you have a lot to do tomorrow.

Relax, I'll make sure
Guillermo sleeps tight.

Oh, that's nice. Thanks.

Okay, have fun.

I missed you.

Hm?

Me too…

I called, but you didn't answer.

Really?

I didn't see that.

Oh, yes.

Well, I was busy here.

-Hm.
-What's wrong?

You wouldn't believe the scene Juan Mario
caused at the party headquarters.

He made Analía look like a fool.

Was he drunk?

Yes.

I don't think there's anything worse

than seeing your child
fall into addiction.

Or into depravity.

That must be tough.

But you know,

he did expose Analía,

gave Benjamín
what he deserved for being a snitch,

and it's clear
that everyone hates that woman,

even Magda.

-Magda?
-Mm-hm.

I regret that this
is how everyone has to find out

the kind of people Analía
and that assistant really are.

Anyway. Um…

Would you like a drink?

Some wine, thank you.

Sure.

I was so confused.
I know what you think about Mejía,

but what Analía did isn't right, either.

No, it's not.
You're absolutely right, honey.

She made a big mistake.

She let her anger take over
and ended up causing a lot of harm.

You should've seen Juan Mario.
You'd get it. I swear, he was bad.

Mm-hm.

Honey, can you imagine
how Analía felt when she was a kid?

What she went through and suffered.

The pain she went through.

Things from which she's still healing.

In spite of that, she's a good person.

Right?

Magda doesn't think so.
She said Analía is a bad person

and is not to be trusted.

For her mistake?

How many mistakes does it take
for a person to be bad?

How many?

Honey, do you know what matters?

What matters is what you think and feel.

Not what people say. People will talk.

You're right.
You know how much I love Analía.

She's been there for me
and she's my friend.

Yes. She's shown me who she is.

What's happening with Álamo
proves that Mejía had Mariano k*lled

to control Rosales.

I really don't know if Rosales is involved
or if they're just using him.

Thanks.

I don't think Guillermo
plans to become president.

He'd have to either k*ll Rosales
or incapacitate him permanently.

He already played that card
with poor Álamo.

-That would be a mistake.
-I don't know what's stopping him.

Mejía has k*lled left and right
with no consequences.

But it's not a smart move.
He's in the public eye again.

I think he's…

going to help Rosales win the presidency

so he can become the power
behind the throne.

But that won't happen because we'll win.

If he lets us.

What do you mean?

-Are you second-guessing us?
-No, not at all.

We also can't ignore his reach.

Look at what he's done
since he got out of prison.

I have to speak with Rosales.

What are you saying?
You know that guy is not innocent.

He's in cahoots with Guillermo.

Yes, that's possible.

But if things are as I think,
he's next on the list to be k*lled.

What does that have to do with you?
You don't need to do anything over there.

We're conducting a thorough investigation
to clarify some questions

that are still up in the air.

Did Analía Guerrero
push this man to the brink,

causing him a nervous breakdown,
as he claimed?

I hit my wife out of desperation,
don't you see?

It's Analía's fault.

I acted out of the wickedness
of that woman,

your woman,
that b*tch who left me with no way out.

Or was he tricked
with the promise of getting rich

by smearing Mrs. Guerrero

and thus candidate Pablo de la Torre?

You're involved in this, right?

Of course. I want him to know
I'm right on his heels,

just waiting for him to slip up.

-Hm.
-He won't replace Álamo.

What this guy is doing
is unbelievable and absurd.

What's unbelievable and absurd
is that after everything he's done,

which is criminal,
the country has forgotten already.

Through tricks and lies,
he's managed to restore his image.

So what we need to do

is show people who Mejía really is.

Remind them of his true colors.

Reliable sources have given me a video

that we will present exclusively for you.

As you can see in the footage,

Mr. Vargas didn't arrive
at the debate alone.

It is believed
that his companion and accomplice

was the one who fired the shot
that prompted the guards to respond,

resulting in Mr. Vargas's death.

Were Mr. Vargas and his accomplice
working for a powerful group?

Did the supposed accomplice

know about Mr. Varga's fatal end?

Your boy was wrong again.

You can't see anything in that image.

They can't recognize him.

How long do you think
before Analía gets to him?

That won't happen.

Just relax, the moment Melgarejo

puts you or me in danger,

I'll k*ll him myself.

You know me.

You trust him more than you should.

Should I remind you that my right hand,
the engineer, betrayed me?

Paulina, I'm not going to let anyone

get in the way
of my path to the presidency.

Fine. Let's eliminate Analía,

she's the only one
standing in the way of that.

That's what she thinks.

That message is for me.

So, I'm going to reach out
to her friend Mónica

and see if she still wants
to get in my way.

Anyway, nothing's going to come
of your daughter's scene.

If the police had anything on Melgarejo,
they would've already gone after him.

Make sure Fernando doesn't turn on us,

and arrange for them to ask me
to step in for Álamo.

Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.

Really? Okay.

And don't overlook Melgarejo, your boy.

Keep an eye on him. Remember,
some dogs forget who their master is

at a certain point in their lives.

Are you sure you saw
that bozo Otoniel with that guy?

Dude, I swear I saw him.

I was walking when I saw him yesterday.

What's up, Otoniel? Why the long face?

Otoniel!

-Can I help you with anything?
-Long time no see.

-I don't know this guy.
-Hey, what's wrong?

Come with me.

-Where are you taking him?
-Come, Otoniel.

Hey, man, relax.

Don't worry, I'm leaving.

Come on.

Hey, relax.

When I saw the reporter's show,
I thought it might be him.

Were you able to see the guy's face?

Yes, he threatened me
and told me to beat it.

Hold off for a bit.
I don't want any tension

between Guillermo and me,

especially now that we're on the verge

-of securing the vice presidency.
-It won't be necessary.

I can assure you that the police
has absolutely nothing against me.

They can't find me with those videos.

I know.

But Guillermo feels uneasy.

You know him.

And if he's right about anything,

we need to be more careful with Analía.

I've never been this close
to being discovered.

So, just to be safe,
I'll ask you to do what I say.

How's the most wanted journalist
in the country doing?

Move over.

How disappointing
that Analía thinks I'm so naive.

Is that why you're kidnapping me?

Have you always been this dramatic?

I didn't remember that.

I can't believe
I got involved with someone so…

Involved with someone who what? Say it.

With someone like you.

It was a mistake, Mónica.
I also made a mistake.

I thought you were a good, decent girl,

but you're nothing but a cheap,

cowardly wh*re.

Look at you.

You're scared…

to death.

But don't worry,
I won't lay a finger on you.

Unlike you, I'm friendly to my friends.

I came here just to give you some advice
for old times' sake,

when you were eager to sleep with me.

I didn't know what a lowlife you were.

Well, now you know what I'm capable of,
so you can understand

which side you should be on.

Guillermo,
I'm always going to stand by the truth.

-No, darling.
-Always.

Let me tell you something.

The truth is dictated by those in power.

That's why I'm telling you

to drop that investigation…

-No.
-…and stand on this side of the court.

It would be really sad

for the world to lose a talented, young…

journalist.

I'm giving you this one chance.

I'm magnanimous.

That was him.

-Okay.
-That guy is not from the hood.

But we've made some progress.
This portrait will help find him.

Analía, I'll give you a copy,
but in the meantime,

I'll take it to the prosecutor's office
to see if this guy has any prior records.

-Good.
-If that's the case, we'll know who he is.

-I'll release it on the next show.
-Are you sure?

I don't want to expose you.

After today, I guess I'm a little worried.

Well, I won't lie to you.

It did scare me.

I felt intimidated and…

I thought
the worst would happen.

But I don't think he'll hurt me.

I wouldn't trust him.
That rat could do anything.

Yes, I agree.
Honestly, it's not very clear

if Mejía kidnapped you to intimidate you

or to give us a warning
that he's being serious.

Well, he hasn't changed.

He's still the same.

He still thinks he has a lot of power,
that he can bend everyone to his will

with bribes and threats.

Analía, things can't just end like this.

Look, this isn't
about Mejía's ego right now.

We can't forget that he has a lot
of people around him who believe in him.

So we can't afford to make a misstep

because it would impact Pablo
and us as well.

You're a champ.

Don't try too hard.

Take it easy.

We have to be patient.

I'm sure you'll get over this bump

and very, very soon,

you'll be that active
and essential man for our party again.

Don't worry about Lucía and your son.

I'm keeping an eye on them.

I'll take care of them while you recover.

Rest up, dear friend.

Get some rest.

I need to talk to Rosales
without Paulina and Mejía finding out.

How can I help you?

Study him.

Study his movements, his routine,
the places he goes to.

Find a place where I can talk to him
without us being seen together.

Do you think that's a good idea?

I ask that because I feel
you'd be running a huge risk.

Look, Rosales is a coward. We know that,

but he loves power, and that can be
a dangerous combination.

Plus, why would he be willing to help you?

He won't have a choice.
I'll pressure him about Mariano's death.

Does he really want it to come to light

that he lied about where Ortega died?

I don't know, I don't trust that guy.

We'll have to play those cards.
He's our only way out.

So let me know when you get that info.
