02x09 - Otoniel dies in the middle of the debate between Pablo and Rosales

[bunniefuu]

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

HER MOTHER'S k*ller: SEASON 2

There's a situation that our party
is deeply concerned about.

It's taboo,

not only in Colombia,
but across Latin America,

and it has to do with mental health.

The numbers show that, in Colombia alone,

-depression--
-Please, Mr. De la Torre,

don't be a hypocrite.

If mental health really is
one of the banners of your…

plan for government,

why are you subjecting your ex-wife

to the stress of a presidential campaign?

I also can't help wondering

why you'd take an alcoholic,

in this case Juan Mario Mejía,

to political gatherings
where alcohol is ever present.

Not to mention that your consultant

and fiancée, Analía Guerrero,

has made it clear to everyone
with her latest scandals

that she needs to urgently seek
professional help

to treat her past trauma
and get back some sense of reality.

That is why, Mr. De la Torre,
I would suggest

-that you use every--
-Mr. Rosales.

This strategy is a trademark move
of your campaign and your party.

You manipulate the information
to turn it into personal attacks.

-Sure.
-This is a debate.

-We're talking about one person.
-People are here for the debate.

Not for two people's lives.

I have my political life
and my personal life.

They're one and the same.
Colombia needs that.

-Gentlemen…
-One transparent person.

Let's go back… Thank you.

Gentlemen, let's go back
to the initial question.

Mr. Rosales, may I remind you
this debate has rules and timed turns?

Mr. De la Torre
still has some seconds to use.

Thank you, Nelson. What I propose

is based on a comprehensive study

that forces us to face reality.

-Sorry to interrupt.
-Oh my God.

-I want to know…
-Rosales.

…where he gets his information, please.

You'll find out. The information I have…

Rosales looks rather unprepared to me.

I'm not surprised.
Your methods are…

rather basic, I want to say.

I can picture you saying,

'Destroy Pablito's life.'

Even that requires some cunning.

Just a bit.

I'd like to discuss
an important topic like depression.

It's the taboo I mentioned before.

You're enjoying this. You're savoring it.

I like that.

Enjoy your 15 minutes,
because life is short.

I think you'll agree with me.

…has increased.

But the question is, has the number
of people with depression increased

or have mental health assessments
improved instead…?

Otoniel, remember, speak up.

You must interrupt the debate.
Say it loudly. Ready?

I don't want to go back to jail.

-Watch out for me, okay?
-Don't worry, and don't be paranoid.

There are many people watching over you.
It will be fine.

I'm leaving. I'll lock the door
so no one bothers you.

Once it's over, I'll come for you.

-Okay?
-I'll be waiting.

…we can't normalize suffering

nor any emotional turmoil
because of mental instability.

That is why, in my plan, I propose
to carry out assessments…

I know
this is being broadcast live.

I'm here so everyone can hear my truth.

Protect Rosales.

Okay, okay.

If you want us to hear you out,

we have to see you to make sure

you're not a threat to the candidates,
the audience on set

and, especially, to the studio staff.

So we'll give you the floor
only if you show yourself.

Here, can you see me?
Now do your part

and let the people hear
what I've come to say.

Yes. Go ahead.

My name is Otoniel Vargas.

I admit I went to jail
because of what I did.

I beat and hurt my wife, Dora Serna,

who was my partner back then.

It's Analía's friend Dora's ex-husband.
It must have to do with her.

Anything that goes wrong
surely has to do with Analía.

I did my time,

but being declared innocent
and doing my time

wasn't enough for my ex-wife.

This guy's a piece of sh*t.

They attacked me…

Froggy will come off very badly from this.

-Why aren't you in there already?
-It's locked.

Look, someone is trying to get in here.

Tell them to back off or else.

Otoniel, can you see me? Listen.

If you truly want to start over,

come down and turn yourself in, please.

You clearly need help.

Nothing you have said
justifies what you're doing.

I beat my wife out of desperation,
don't you get it?

This is Analía's fault.

I did what I did
because of that evil woman.

It was your wife.
That b*tch left me no choice!

You and I know what you're saying
is not true.

Can't you see?

What good does it do for De la Torre
to talk about mental health

when under his own roof,
his own wife, his own consultant

is suffering in that regard?

Hey, Rosales,

please watch what you're saying.

Don't sink so low
as to mess with people right now.

I'm only telling the truth.

Here's what Analía did to me, look!

Look! She and that brute Toto
tortured me for a whole night.

They wanted me to say Mr. Mejía
ordered me to beat Dorita.

Cut the transmission right now.
This can have serious consequences.

It's not up to me. Only the channel's
CEO can give that order.

You are free to withdraw your candidate

if you believe his life is threatened.

But you can't expect the channel
to cut the transmission

to protect the reputation
of your boss' wife.

I think this circus
is messing with your mind

and you'll end up getting your boss
in serious trouble.

Stop making mistakes.

Your advice
clearly hasn't been any good so far.

Tell the truth, Otoniel.

If you regret what you did, that is.

Tell us who is paying you
to put on this show.

Nobody is paying me.

I'm not like you!

You're making me do this!

Look!

-Do you have eyes on the target?
-Affirmative.

In position, awaiting orders.

Please, Otoniel, calm down.

Don't do anything crazy.
Don't put your life on the line.

How can you defend her
after everything she's done to you?

She doesn't deserve forgiveness!

Otoniel, calm down, breathe.

Put that thing down and listen to me.

She gets no forgiveness!

You disgust me.

You set this up, I just know it.

-How are you?
-That son of a b*tch.

It was him. He did this whole thing.

Guillermo!

Guillermo.

Come here, you son of a b*tch.

Let me go. Let go!

-Pablo. Pablo.
-You b*stard.

You just won't stop
destroying people's lives, huh?

But we'll unmask you and make you pay
for everything you're doing.

Is that how you'd rule the country?
With threats?

I doubt it.

Think about this one thing.

Sometimes, the right choices
have the wrong results.

I really am sorry
about what's happening to you.

But all actions have consequences.
You messed with the wrong person.

You know why?

It's a tiny detail.

Every little thing you hate about me

is embedded in the genes

of the woman you sleep with,
and you know it.

Let me go!

Bye now.

Okay, okay.

Oh, Rosales, Rosales, Rosales.

He can't even follow instructions.

No, he's useless.

We could lose the presidency.

We will win one way or another.

What do we do?

We'll change our presidential ticket.

Nuh-uh.

I don't see how we can screw him over.

We'll have to take him out.

Really?

We can't go planting the idea
that everywhere I go,

I leave death in my wake.

But it's the only way to replace
a vice president candidate

leading up to a runoff voting.

Unless…

he suffers from a permanent disability.

Exactly.

Something people will lament.

Leave it to me.
You know I like a challenge.

Yes, I know. I can see it.

I'll tell you something.

With me as vice president,

Pablo's life will change radically.

It's one thing to shatter a Rosales
to pieces,

and a very different one to face me.

Oh…

Let's celebrate.

We can't.

Come on.

Carolina will be here soon.

Okay.

In that case,

I'll leave so you can welcome her
in peace.

Are you sure Analía will quit?

Mm-hmm.

Don't worry though.

I'm sure she'll find the best way
to announce it

without affecting the campaign.

Well, if you think that's what's best
for our party,

you have my support.

-I'm sorry, but I disagree.
-Thanks.

I warned you about Analía hurting us,
and now she's done it.

After all that's happened,
she'll be your spokesperson?

Well, what do you suggest?

That we as a party
make an official announcement.

If we do that,

it'd be like admitting to Guillermo
and Rosales' false accusations.

That wouldn't affect just her,
but us and our campaign as well.

And me as a candidate.

I won't play into Guillermo's hands.

Otoniel Vargas was k*lled
by the same people who hired him,

and I don't think they want loose ends.

Do you want to die as well?

You don't believe me.

You said it yourself.

Okay, let's suppose

that you have the best of luck
on your side

and they leave you be.

Dorita, this lady, will sue you.

You'll be thrown in jail.
And I'll make sure you rot in there.

Come on! Talk!

What the hell?

You want to rot in jail? Because I'd love
to see you die behind bars.

I'm no snitch and I won't say anything
about a dead man.

Not a snitch, just stupid,
to fool around like this.

That's what she is.

There's no way out of this.

I'm not here to ask. I'm here
to lay out your options, that's all.

Tell me. What do you want from me?

This is Sebastián Casas and he has solid
connections in the police.

He can help us.

So I'll present your choices

for you to get out of this
as clean as possible,

and you will tell me
absolutely everything.

Everything you did with Otoniel.

And then we'll see if we have a deal.

Got it?

If Otoniel didn't fire his g*n,
he was just bait.

That's right. There was another man
who shot a g*n.

They clearly knew the place
to stand where they couldn't be seen.

What's more, they hacked the CCTV
inside the building.

But we were able to locate some cameras
that cover the exterior

and record independently.

This is our only clue so far.

But he didn't go in alone.
Have you ID'd the other man?

Not yet. He was very careful
not to show his face.

We haven't found fingerprints.

-Were they trying to k*ll me?
-No. I don't think so.

-If they wanted to, they would have.
-Exactly.

So there must have been another goal,
but we don't know what it was.

Analía drove that man
to his limit.

You're absolutely right.
That woman is sick.

What I don't understand
is why Pablo is with her.

Why expose himself and my daughter
to that psychopath?

Hello.

Check the news.
Analía is giving a statement.

What is it?

Why are you here?
Were you summoned by the office?

No.

I'm here with a person
who has information and proof

that Mr. Vargas
was working for a powerful group

whose only goal is that De la Torre
isn't elected president.

Who is this person?
Can you tell us?

You've been entangled
in many scandals lately.

Could that affect your fiancé
Pablo De la Torre's campaign?

How do you feel about that?

The last thing I want
is to hurt Pablo's campaign.

That is why I'm officially and publicly
announcing that I'm stepping down

as his political strategist.

Can you see?

He's done for.

Many people
were expecting you to quit.

This is an important announcement,
and I have two questions.

Do you feel responsible for the death
of Otoniel Vargas?

And if he was working for powerful people,

how do you explain
that he risked his life like that?

I have a clear conscience.

And I will not let anyone use me
to taint Pablo's good name.

To answer your question, yes.

I do believe Mr. Vargas was set up

and he probably didn't know
he would lose his life.

Why do you think so? Do you have proof
to back what you're saying now?

Mr. Vargas did not fire the g*n
he pointed at me.

The technical analysis and ballistics

showed that the weapon that was fired
was not his.

The prosecutor's office
is looking into this tirelessly,

so they'll probably
get to the bottom of this soon.

Who fired the g*n?

Will the office make a statement later?

We'll communicate our findings
in due time.

I will not answer any more questions now.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Calm down, Guillermo.

What does that mean?

It wasn't his idea, and someone else
sent that guy to k*ll Analía?

And that useless b*stard
couldn't do it.

What are you talking about?
You knew they'd k*ll her?

Please, how can you think that?

Is everything okay, ma'am?

Last night I saw a new side of Guillermo
and it stunned me.

He wasn't himself.

So full of rage.

Well, what can I say?

We all have bad days, right?

This wasn't just a bad day.

I saw that face many times
when I was a little girl.

Enough of this sh*t!

Leave me alone already.
I'm sick of your whining and nagging!

Well, I'm sick of you.

Sick of waiting for you
to get your act together.

Shut your mouth
and leave me alone.

And get the hell out of here
before I beat you to a pulp.

Stop fighting.

Mom, stop nagging Dad.

Go to your room, Carolina. This…

This is between grown-ups.

I won't go anywhere
until you stop fighting.

You see? That's on you!

f*cking hell!

Analía is pushing Guillermo to his limit.

His rage is blinding him, and he'll start
making lots of mistakes.

The problem here is IQ.

That man should have let Dopey
fire the g*n.

He wouldn't have done it.

And if I hadn't, he would have been
talking to police now.

What do you think will happen?

The office will look the other way
and not look into it?

All right. Let's get past this
and start making decisions.

What are we going to do about Analía?
She's becoming a problem.

She's asking about Mariano's death.

I told you.

It's a serious issue of brainpower.

Now she only has to figure out
you were the proestatuare.

A prost*tute. It means 'prost*tute.'

Leave us a moment, please.

May that be the last time
you ever call me that.

-Is that a threat?
-The last time.

For a guy like him?

If you want to k*ll me, go ahead.

-I'm here.
-Oh, come on.

Oh, all right. Then focus on what matters.

We must attend Mariano's wake
to check whether Analía

wants to get information from his widow.

Okay? Is that what you're wearing?

-I'm not in mourning.
-Come on.

I promise Elvira I wouldn't say a word.

But if we prove Mariano was k*lled,

I have to report it.

She more than anyone will want justice

so that his husband's death
doesn't go unpunished.

I'm sure of that.

She's planning something big,
completely unrelated to vengeance.

-She wants something else.
-Mm-hmm.

You know Guillermo is furious
and resentful. That much is clear.

We took what he was after, the presidency.

And he'll do anything to show the country
just how powerful he is.

He must be cooking up something else,
something I haven't figured out.

Guillermo always has an agenda,
no matter what he does.

-Mm-hmm.
-Like Santiago's case.

The statements, his disappearance,
Mariano's death. It's all connected.

Mm-hmm.

I haven't worked out what it is
in order to stop him, it's…

Hey. Listen to me.

Analía, be careful.

You have no idea how I felt
when I saw that guy pointing a g*n at you.

You know it's true.
Don't be jumping the g*n, okay?

You're more important than any campaign,
now and forever.

So, what are you planning to do?

To pluck up the courage again
and leave him at the altar?

Remember you're not alone anymore.
It's the two of you now.

Pablo is there. It's a drag,
but you must think of your partner.

I'll do anything.

I'm sure my relationship with Pablo
will have consequences too.

-Analía, look at me.
-Hmm?

Tread very carefully. I mean it.

Are you sure
this is a good idea?

These people have no love for you.

I'm not here to make friends.

Julián, when I return,

I will likely need to have a moment alone
with Miss Peña, please.

Elvira.

I didn't make it to the ceremony,

but I'm here to say you can count on me
for anything you need.

You're not welcome here.
Mariano never cared for you.

You think you can show up anywhere
because you're a politician,

but there's no room for you among us.

We both know that my husband's death
hides something very dark.

And if I haven't said anything,
it's just to keep his name clean.

-Thank you.
-I'm sorry.

Thank you. Yes. Thank you.

It must be extremely hard to come to terms
with your husband's vices.

And if you haven't said anything
and kept quiet so far,

it's not because of him.

It's because you'd hate to be called out
before your absurd and pathetic peers.

Elvira.

What happened?

Elvirita is dead.

She just doesn't know it yet.

Are you sure Rosales picked
the perfect body double?

Yes, I oversaw the whole thing.

Don't worry about that now.

Let's focus on your vice presidency, okay?

Have you arranged the lunch meeting
with the board?

Yes. Álamo will summon a meeting
at the club, without Rosales knowing,

since you'll discuss

how we'll regroup and reorganize

after the embarrassing disgrace
our candidate put us through.

You're amazing.

I'll make sure to mess
with Rosales' mind tomorrow.

Do you realize?

What?

You and I are invincible.

I've always known that.

How are you, candidate?

How will you deal with and face
your future wife's mental illness?

Was it the party members who demanded
her dismissal or was it you?

You seem to be one of those people
who do their job

without any regards to ethics.

Every question you ask

aims to confirm something
without any grounds in reality.

Nobody asked Analía Guerrero
to quit. In fact,

it was she who decided to step down
so no one would manipulate her.

Now, a better question would be

whether all that's happening
to Analía Guerrero,

right after Mejía comes out of jail,
is mere coincidence.

Or is it linked to him?

I'd like us to take
this chance to make peace.

We know exactly
the kind of person you are.

I don't think this is the right moment
to argue.

Rosario was as much our family
as she was yours.

And we mourn her, too.

But this truce you suggest
is just lip service.

Because all you are capable of
is oozing poison.

It will be so nice
when these m*therf*ckers

who see themselves as high-born
and act superior get what they deserve.

Starting with this guy's mother.

It's time to put your friend Carolina
to good use.

Get her to work with Pablo
and stain that daddy's boy

by tainting his campaign with dirty money.

No, I'm not using Carolina.

Excuse me?

You're changing your mind?

Don't tell me you want to protect her.

-Are you jealous?
-Oh…

Jealous of that dimwit hag?

No.

I'm just curious.

I want to use her for something bigger.

Trust me.

-Surprise.
-You're drunk.

No, I'm not just drunk,

I'm also a f*cking mess because of you.

What do I have to do with anything?
Explain.

And to think
I wanted to follow in your steps

and make you proud with my progress.

But you're just as rotten as Guillermo.

No, no. What's wrong with you? I said no.

How can you--? Hey, give me that. f*ck.

What's wrong, you ask?

I'm sick and tired
of being the laughingstock.

Because of 'Don't you know who I am?'

It's your fault.

It's your fault, because you didn't have
the guts to tell me the truth.

I didn't think it was necessary back then.
Please, don't…

Shut up.

Stop lying.
Aren't you tired of hurting me?

Aren't you supposed to be
a brave, tough woman?

I only see a coward,

a phony,

who didn't dare tell me the truth
when she had the chance.

Instead, you let Mejía tell me,

to really f*ck me up.

And he did it.

He did it, thanks to you.

-You're a piece of sh*t.
-Yes, I am. I'm a piece of sh*t.

-So?
-Don't touch me!

So what? Does that justify
this attitude of yours?

Huh? Letting your life go to hell
because of that jerk

who wants to see you defeated like this?

Okay, stop. Stop talking.
Stop pretending you care about me.

No, ma'am.

You don't give a f*ck about me.

Especially now that I can't help you
screw that son of a b*tch.

That's not true.

You're very important to me, Juan.

You, me, all of this…

Who believes that?

Nobody does.

So, from now on,

you're dead to me.

I can't believe
I looked up to you so much.

Hey, wait. Don't go like this.

-Where--? Calm down.
-No.

No. Don't make me

-behave like him.
-Like who?

-Like your father.
-No, that jerk isn't my father.

He is not my father
and you are nothing like him.

Because you're a good person.

Please, don't leave. Don't go, please.

Don't touch me!

Okay. All I ask is that you find it in you
to forgive me.

You're my brother and I…

I love you, I respect you. I admire you.

-And my father--
-I know

where Mariano Ortega was staying
on the day he died.

I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?

No, not at all.

Such good timing.
In fact, you arrived right on time

so you two can keep making up bullshit
to screw up my life.

I'm not part of this anymore. And you…

you're no longer my sister.

What got into him?

I did.

It's amazing how life wants me to pay

for the pain I caused
all the people I've used.

You know the craziest part?
Ever since I reunited with my siblings,

I've only managed to hurt them.

My life poses a threat, Fabiola.
A threat to you, to me.

To everybody.

But whatever. We must keep going, right?

That is confidential information.

We must protect our guests' privacy.

All right, it's up to you
if you want to cooperate with us

and tell us the truth, but if you won't,

expect to be served with a subpoena
for you to make a statement.

And we will return with a search warrant
to inspect the hotel in depth.

I don't think you'd want that, would you?

Do as you wish. I have nothing to hide.

To be honest, we know you offer
sexual services on the premises.

Hmm?

If that gets leaked,
they might shut down the hotel.

Your hotel's reputation
could go down the shitter.

So, will you help us?

I need you to find the recordings

from Mariano Ortega's last visit.

Here's the dates and timestamps.

Right away, sir.

Hold on. That's Mariano.

Could you pause, please?

Can you zoom in?

He arrived on his own.

Keep playing the video, please.

There. Pause, please.

That's the woman we're looking for.

But her face is not clear. Look.

Are there recordings from other angles?

So we can get a better view of her.

-Let me check.
-Okay.

There's this. Look.

What do you know
about the woman who was with Mariano?

Was she a frequent guest here?

No, I'd never seen her before.

Mr. Ortega used to bring
lady friends over.

But we had nothing to do with that.

Negative. She doesn't appear again.

But I found this.

According to the timestamp,
this was at 3:00 AM.

Are you really drinking again?
I can't believe this.

-Juan Mario, no. Not here.
-No. Don't treat me like a child.

Have some respect.

You know what's unbelievable?
That people keep treating me like a jerk

and that everyone has always
walked all over me.

What do you mean? Who walked over you?

Your sister, Analía,

set me up and hired a prost*tute
to record us on video

and expose me as a jackass
on social media.

What?

You're saying that video
was Analía setting you up?

No, not just Analía.
Can you believe she has an accomplice,

a moron, who looks the part, but isn't
really. I mean your boyfriend.

He made the video go viral
so everybody could see me

like the moron I am.

Are you sure about this?

Of course. Your dad gave me the proof.

That's probably the only thing
I will ever thank him for.

You can't trust anyone in life.
Everyone is a piece of sh*t.

Look, I don't know
if my dad is innocent or not.

But this confirms that Analía
may have influenced us

to make us hate him.

Hold on, make no mistake about it.

He's definitely earned all of the hatred
we have for him.

I should say the same to you.

Analía has walked all over us
just to destroy that man.

You almost took your life.
Can't you remember?

Yesterday, a man lost his life
because of her, and today…

I don't even know if Benji
really loves me or not.

What now? Are we going to keep helping
her, believing every word she says?

Look.

You may not want to keep justifying
that guy and all his f*ck-ups.

But that's your problem. If you don't want
to see it, that's on you.

It's fine. But he k*lled my mother,

who's your mother too.

Analía is a piece of sh*t and whatever.

But as far as I know, she's no m*rder*r.

To be a m*rder*r,
you don't have to pull the trigger.

There are many ways to k*ll.
Look at you, for instance.

-What's up?
-Hey. Did you learn anything?

I need you to hack into the company
that handles security

for the Democratic Force party.

I want to know who was assigned to Ortega
on the day he died.

What are you looking for exactly?

I don't know. I'm not sure yet, but…

There's something odd about the video
of Mariano leaving the hotel.

I could try to access
the hotel's computer system.

Yes, okay. Do it.

And please hack into the account of…
Martínez's account.

-Find out what he has on Otoniel.
-Okay.

-Listen…
-Yes?

Have you talked to Sofía?

Not since this morning.

Is something wrong?

Juan Mario found out I set him up
for the video with the prost*tute.

So… Yeah.

I guess Sofía also knows by now.

Look, this is the video
that the hotel manager

showed to your daughter.

See? That's one less problem.

Hmm. Not too fast.

Analía is always hot on our trail.

I honestly don't understand why you insist
on keeping her alive. Hmm?

We're spending money, effort, energy
that should go into Rosales

so he gets elected president

-and you get--
-To rule this country as it should be.

As for Analía,

I gave her life.

I'll decide when I take it back.

Is that clear?

Yes or no?

Sorry to interrupt. Your daughter
Sofía is waiting for you in the lounge.

Hmm.

You have no idea how happy I am
to have you here.

Come.

Sit.

What a surprise, huh.

Um…

I'm here because it's only fair
to acknowledge when you're right.

Analía has hurt us too.

You've realized. I'm glad.

I hope your brothers see the truth too.

That won't happen
if you keep doing things your way.

You know how much you hurt Juan Mario
by telling him that.

You didn't have to give him a blow
like that. Seriously.

I only told him the truth.
Isn't it what you always ask of me?

Yes, but that truth made him fall apart.

He's drinking again.

And I…

I'm not okay. Honestly.

Do you really not see
that everything you do affects us?

I am really sorry.

That was never my intention.

I just want to win back
my children's affection.

And I want you to realize
just who Analía Guerrero truly is.

That's all.

If you truly want to get close to us,
I'm willing to help.

But I have my conditions.

Like your brother says,
you can count on me.

You have the emotional intelligence

that I honestly lack most times.

I promise I'll do anything you say.
I will listen to you.

Can I get a hug?
