02x21 - Paulina becomes the laughing stock of the country after her liberation

[bunniefuu]

A NETFLIX SERIES

HER MOTHER'S k*ller, SEASON 2

Their ballot rigging was well done.
There's no way to prove

it was a fraud. The numbers
fall within the margins of error.

Yeah, I'm very concerned about Rosales,
what he'll do to the country.

You know who'll be the ruler, right?

Guillermo.

That man breaks everything he touches.

What about Analía?

How's she doing?

I haven't seen her in a week.

And I've got a feeling
she doesn't want to see me.

It must be so frustrating for her
to see Mejía in power.

She must be powerless
not knowing what to do.

Today,

I'm proudly wearing the colors
of the flag that I've always dreamed of,

which I commit to honor

every single second
of this administration, starting today.

During our campaign,

I told you
that we were not making promises…

that our work
would reflect our actions,

of our working towards unity,

towards reconciliation
with the opposition,

all of us working for a better future
for everyone in Colombia.

My mentor,

my friend,

Vice President Guillermo León Mejía,

has inspired all of us.

He has urged us to believe

that second chances

are indeed possible!

You're totally right.
This man's going to be Mejía's puppet.

Jaime really looks up to you.

This is why I have decided to support him…

and to do my best, so his ideas

will become reality.

Today is my first day

as the president of this beautiful nation.

I would like to begin my term

by fulfilling my word.

That's why I'm taking the liberty
to dismiss our protocol,

because I'm sure
that change starts this very day,

here and now!

Ladies and gentlemen,

it is my pleasure…

to introduce…

the Administrative Manager
of this government,

Ms. Analía Guerrero.

My father is a scumbag,

but I know we'll screw him over with this.

You should see the place. It's awesome.

With so many places around here,
how will you get everyone to go to yours?

Don't worry, my dear perpetuator,
I'll handle that.

Let's suppose

that people are going to show up

and it's going to be packed.

How will you get the info if your dad is
as much of a sly fox as you say?

Let me explain how a ministry is run.

In those places,

the doorman has more power
than the minister.

Or at least he's a bigger boss.
What's good about our place?

It is for everyone.

There's the doorman, the secretary,
the people who really work

in those places. What's good about them?

That those pricks who believe
they're the big shots

and completely ignore
the people who actually work,

spill the beans bigtime
and blab information

that we need, with working people
around, since they're invisible to them.

That's where you use your ability
to capitalize on your social skills,

to get that information,
which we are going to leak

through the bugs
that my dear brother-in-law

will have planted by then.

We'll basically handle more info

than the US Military Intelligence itself.

Now, if you're scared, I understand.

I find it funny that you weren't scared
when you got into my house.

Jesus, what a guy.

We're at the Presidential House,

still waiting for President Jaime Rosales,

who, in a few minutes, will share

the list of those
who will make up his cabinet.

As you can see,
the Presidential House is surrounded

by many followers of President Rosales.

There have been rumors

about those who will join

President Rosales
and the vice president in the government.

Several names have been brought up
in the media,

even some that are close to Mr. Mejía,

but not necessarily belonging

to the ones we know
are close to the president.

We'll have the final list
in a few moments,

and we'll know if this duo
walking into the Presidential House today

has more consensus than differences.

-Which gate is the president using?
-The North Gate, sir.

Let them know
I'll go through the Main Gate.

Sir, if you'll allow me,
it'd be best if you…

I apologize, sir.

Attention, everyone. Our vice president
will go in through the Main Gate.

Again, Main Gate.

It's all ready

-for the press conference.
-Thank you.

The president will first go to his office,

and when the full cabinet
and the vice president are present,

he will make his entrance.

I don't understand.

I should go through the Main Gate
just like Guillermo.

He's getting all the attention.

Mr. President,
let Mejía get in with confidence,

so everyone can see him
radiating congeniality.

That will work in our favor.

Don't forget you're the highest authority
in the country, the president.

No one will outshine you.

Unless you let them, of course.
And that's not happening.

You just do what we discussed.

Remember what we agreed on,

and you'll see what I'm saying is true.

Vice President Mejía,
we pin our hopes on you

and President Rosales.

Now that you're in power,
don't forget about us,

the female heads of families.
There's a lot of us.

Hey buddy, let her through.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

-What's your name?
-Edelmira.

Edelmira, I could never ever
forget about you

because I have a personal commitment
to every woman in this country.

That's right. Do you see that?

He'll be looking out for Colombian women.

Hmm. Some vice president you have.

Oh, let me hear.

And we'll make sure
all women have access

to the programs we will offer…

Well said.

Way to go, Vice President Mejía!

Okay, calm down.

Calm down. We must understand
there are ignorant people

in life who support people like him,
a scumbag.

Yes, lots of ignorant people.
Lots of them.

-Nice to meet you.
-Don't be a sore loser.

Drop the smug act.

Of course, Mejía is a lot better
than the cheater Pablo de la Torre.

Yes. This is why you say
we're stupid. People like you--

Why don't you go pick up your dogs' sh*t?

-And talk trash with them.
-This is my neighborhood too.

It's mine too, and I won't leave.

Okay, ma'am.

Don't you use dismissive gestures with me.

Calm down, it's all cool.
You can speak your mind,

but in the warmth of your home,
so beat it, come on.

Wait a minute.

Don't do that. Don't.

Don't get all angry at her.

Beat it.

-You beat it.
-Make me.

Losers!

Come on, bring it.

Don't touch me.

Don't you touch me.

I don't know why
I'm hanging here with lowlifes.

-That's what you are.
-Shut up.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Hi, Patricia, how are you?

Very well, thank you.
Mr. Vice President, can you give us a hint

on who is going to be in the cabinet?

Patricia, that's an announcement
for the president to make.

I am but a little piece
of this excellent team

that's working for this country.

Or you won't tell me
what's the scoop?

Or you really don't have the list?

Patricia, the president and I,

we've been working together since day one.

And of course, I am aware
of what he's announcing today.

-You'll see. Thank you.
-Thanks.

Thank you, good day. Thanks.

A still tongue makes a head wise.

I don't know, Jaime. I'd suggest
you think twice about what you're doing.

Honestly, with all due respect,

Analía's proposal isn't solid enough.

My job is to empower the president
to make him the one in charge.

More importantly,
to make that clear to government officials

and to the public.

I am sure that,
with you by my side

as the chief of staff and Analía

as head of the Executive
Administrative Department,

Mejía will not mess with us.

While some celebrate
their accession to power,

the Union and Renovation Party
are wondering

what's going on with their leader,
Pablo de la Torre.

Maybe Mr. Guillermo León Mejía

was right about what he said,
and we were blind to that.

After President Rosales' appointment
of Analía Guerrero,

his ex-fiancée and long-time right hand

as head of the Executive Administrative
Department, we're wondering

if Pablo de la Torre's career
after these elections

has been so weakened, he is almost
out of his party's leadership.

Your boyfriend made my dad
give a bad impression.

Baby, listen to me, please.

Baby, wait up! Guillermo has nothing to do

with this reporter's views. Wait a minute.

I know what they're saying
about your dad is hurtful.

Unfortunately, he made a lot of mistakes

listening to Analía.

She's the only one responsible
for Pablo's failure.

-Hi.
-Adriana told me the contracts

for your consultant team are ready.

You know what? Tell Adriana…

to call that off.

Some people on the payroll
cannot keep working with us.

We're short on time.
Who will you kick out?

Benji and Juan Mario.
They'll keep supporting Analía.

You know Analía's on the opposing side.
They can't keep working with us.

Give me a hand with the interviews.
Get them done quickly

to replace them both.

-Give me some recommendations.
-Of course. No problem.

Thank you.

And the Ministry of Culture
will be run by a woman

who needs no introduction,

given her work

throughout these years speaks for itself.

Secretary.…

María Claudia Prieto.

As I've been saying
ever since the beginning of our campaign,

this will be an honest administration.

Before wrapping up,
I'd like to share with all of you

the responsibilities
that our vice president,

Mr. Guillermo León Mejía,
will have in my administration.

First,

to coordinate every topic related
to the submerged cultural heritage

of the San José galleon.

Second,

to support the president regarding honesty

and gender equality.

Third…

You can see Guillermo's anger on his face.

I guess what Analía just did
stripped him of the power he wanted.

That would directly harm our community.

That man doesn't care
about our interests, of course.

But just like your baby sister,
who you so zealously defend,

she's dead set
on the end justifying the means.

So she can destroy the community.
Or she can destroy the world.

I hope Analía
is being cautious about that man.

He needs to stop doing as he pleases.

He will preside over
both the Colombian Oceans Commission

and the Colombian Space Commission.

The rest of the ministries and departments
will be directly supervised by me.

Thank you all so much for being here.

Oh, oh.

Wasn't it enough to harm your boyfriend?
Now you're sending this dumbbell

to dig his own grave?

Didn't you tell the reporter

that you knew everything in
the president's announcements?

So who's the dumbbell here?

I want Paulina back.

Now.

-I don't give a f*ck about what you want.
-We'll see about that.

I understand now
why Paulina won't face me.

Mejía's now an empty vessel.
He has no power.

That will make it hard for him
to honor the agreement.

I feel like they made that move
to screw him over.

Will he just walk away?

He's a sly fox.

We'll see. The only option I have

is to go see the vice president
and test the waters.

I'd get so mad
if I found out I barked up the wrong tree.

Well, come on.

What's up?

Hurry up. Help me here.

Come on.

Move it.

Hey!

Play games again and it'll be on you.

Hurry.

Get inside.

We need to check our schedule.
We have several meetings.

Cancel all that. I'm not seeing anyone.

Excuse me, sir, there is a man
who asked to see you.

He's positive
you'll make time to see him.

His name is Gerardo Bernal.

Okay.

Tell him I'll see him here.

While he's here, no one comes in.

Am I clear?

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

-Can you take care of it?
-Yes, sir. Thank you.

Welcome to our high-level
espionage center.

Gringos will have nothing on us.
Just wait and see.

It's so good.

And I think it's a good idea
because people having drinks

-tend to get chattier than usual.
-Come see upstairs. It's so cool.

Everyone's going to love this.

A bar for you,
and you being here all the time…

I know I'm an alcoholic
and that is a big risk, but…

I need to take it.

I don't want you to relapse again.

Do you remember what you told me once?

You need to stop blaming me
for all the wrong decisions you make, huh?

You're totally wasted, as I just said,

because you're unable
to face reality, Juan Mario.

Smell that?

It smells like… like something new.

Like someone is in their sober mind

and about to face their demons
and dark side.

Because that's the only way
to crawl out of that hole.

Look, I will…

prove to you

that you're not the only one
who keeps his promises.

-Oh, that must be my dear Patricia.
-Okay.

I believe in you.

-Hi, Juan.
-Hi, Patricia.

-How are you?
-How are you? Come in.

I think we did well.

If you say so. Let's use Analía.

-You're a godsend.
-Oh.

You did so well.

Welcome to the team.

Thank you so much. But I only followed
Juan Mario's instructions.

I didn't tell her it was your idea,

but she knows we're a team anyway.

Yes, of course.

I came here for this
because I've got to run. I'm a bit busy.

Juan, I'm so sorry they kicked you out
of the consultant team.

I honestly think that was a big mistake.

They're missing out on a very funny
and creative guy.

Keep going,
and I'll propose and give you six kids.

-Lock the door on your way out.
-Sure.

What's with Pablo?

My cousin called me and said
he didn't want anyone

near him or his team
if they were supporting you.

And we know how that story goes.
Better sooner than later.

Okay.

-I have heartburn.
-Are you okay?

Mm-hm.

Babe, go in.
I'll take two minutes, okay?

Aleja, really?

Are you really smoking?

What's up?

I'm scared shitless.

I am scared.

On one hand, I'm…

very… excited that we're here,
able to adopt our kid.

But… on the other hand…

…I'm scared this m*therf*cker,

who not only
hates me personally, Laura,

but is a f*cking h*m*,

can bend the law in the blink
of an eye and shut down the whole process.

It's not only our process

but the whole community's process, Laura.

Because of me.

-It's not on you.
-It is.

He won't shut down anything.
Nothing will be ruined.

Look, he can buy off some people,
but he won't buy off a whole institution.

You don't know him.

I do.

I know the type of human being he is.

Do you know who I do know very well?

Lucila.

Lucila wants to help us.
She wants to support us.

Everything will be okay.

We will not let anyone mess with us

and with our happiness.

Okay? Yes?

Shall we?

Let's go.

-Hi.
-Morning.

Okay, Tati. I think that's very good.

Awesome.

-Go get some copies done. Thank you.
-Okay.

-Is that her?
-Yes.

What is this happiness?

Luci!

Oh, dear Lau!

So happy to see you.

Same here.

So excited.

You're glowing, as always.

Please, I was about to tell you that.
You're glowing.

This is Alejandra Mejía, my wife.

Nice to meet you.

-How are you?
-Good.

You're Guillermo Mejía's daughter, right?

Unfortunately, I am.

Is there a problem with that?

No, not at all.

We're not here to judge
the applicant's relatives.

What we do here is to make sure
every single condition is met

for the well-being of our kids. Okay?

Let's step into my office.

So happy.

Babe, I met Luci

-at a campsite in France.
-Really?

-And we lost touch…
-This way, please.

…years ago until we found each other

again on social media.

Actually,
Joan texted me not long ago.

Remember him?

No way, really?

They are trying to organize

a reunion with all of us.

I can't believe
you're still in touch with them.

Well, we text back and forth now and then.

They actually asked me to invite you.

-Of course. I'm in. Let's go.
-Sure.

To remember the good old days.

Of course. Oui, oui.

Okay, girls. Tell me. Hmm…

How many years have you been together?

When and why
did you choose to become mothers?

And why did you choose adoption

instead of in vitro fertilization? Hmm?

You're still the same.

You're still the same old inquisitor.

Well, I'm a psychologist and a lawyer.

You know how this goes.
It's who I am.

Okay, don't worry.

Look, we have every intention
of baring our hearts and souls.

Luci, the biggest thing for us
is to become moms.

Okay.

-Okay, should I start?
-Yes.

I'll open up
so you can understand why we're here.

Uhm… Okay, Laura and I met many years ago.

We have a steady relationship.

And… we'd like to fulfill
our dream of becoming mothers.

To have a family.

Okay, fine.

I'm all ears.

Mr. Vice President,
Mr. Gerardo Bernal is outside.

Let him in, Ingrid. And you know…

Yes, sir.

-You may go in.
-Thank you.

Mr. Vice President.

Let's see. I took the liberty
to come here in person because…

I find that Paulina
going AWOL is very odd.

I do not.

She was tired.
She went to the beach on holiday.

Don't you think it's odd
that her phone is off?

Not at all.

She's worn out.

You know how it is.

Bad news always…

spreads fast, right?

Mr. Vice President,
please drop the act.

And tell me the truth. I need to know
what is going on with her.

Two things.

Take it down a notch.

And second,

if I say she's away,
then she's away.

She'll reach out.

If Paulina doesn't show up…
Listen to me very carefully.

If she doesn't show up by tomorrow,
I'll meet up with my partners

to make some decisions
about our agreement.

Or how will we get paid
for what you owe us?

And the time you made us waste.
Are we clear?

You listen to me carefully.

If we can discuss the subject
right now, I'm all ears.

Otherwise…

Okay, Mr. Vice President.

My deal was with Paulina.

She was the one who convinced me
to talk to my partners

into endorsing you.
And she's the one who has to answer me.

You're not understanding.

I'm telling you she's away.

There's no way around it.

I won't waste your time anymore.
I hope Paulina calls me tomorrow.

I'm so happy to have you here with me.

Let's take it slow, okay?

I need to heal.

Yeah, I know.

I've made many mistakes with you, but…

Sofi, I want you to know
that I do love you.

I love you, too.

That's why…

I need to trust in you again.

Uh-uh.

I'm so sad for the lovebirds,

but we're in a hurry.

Thank you for what you did for me.

It wasn't thoughtful of me.

I'm sorry.

I understand, don't worry.
You saved my life. That's a big deal.

Right? Hmm?

So? Is Paulina the prost*tute
who was there the night Mariano died?

We're still not sure.

The woman in the footage
is always facing away.

We can't know if it's her.

It's obviously her. Why else would
she have such a full closet?

To start up a Halloween costume shop?

We have confirmed
that Mariano was with that woman indeed.

I'll increase its exposure,
remove some shadows,

and see if we can find
something to help us identify her.

Let's see.

Zoom in.

Look.

What's that?
Is that a scar on her lower neck?

We got her! She's the prost*tute!

Don't count your chickens just yet.

We need to confirm first
Paulina has the same scar on her neck.

If it turns out to be true,
you could report her.

No. Before that,
I need to know what Mejía has

to involve Rosales in Mariano's death.

What we have
won't compromise Guillermo at all.

You're right.

And to file a report right now
would be insane.

We'd only be
getting Rosales suspended.

And it would make
Mejía assume the presidency, right?

We'd make things easier for him.

I would love it
if you could use that same intensity

of your flirting in your work.

Go intense on that instead, dude.

-Mr. Vice President.
-Sir.

I can't let you in without checking in.

Take your hand off me.

Please, respect the protocol.

Gentlemen.

At ease.

At ease, General.

You're going to make Analía tell you
where she has Paulina, to release her.

Come on, Mejía.

That's not happening.

Okay.

Okay.

Then Ortega's death will be on you.

I'll put out the video
of the fake Mariano leaving the hotel.

And the police will easily notice
that was a lookalike.

I could only be accused

of lying about the place where he died.

I would tell them that I did that
to save Mariano's reputation.

Do you think I'm naive, Rosales?

Hey, here's something
to make you remember.

I need you to get Mariano
off my back as soon as possible.

I can't stand that old man.

Hey!

Let the chief of staff in.

This one is free of charge.

A bank is a place

where you can borrow an umbrella
when it's nice outside.

And you're asked to give it back
once it starts raining.

Tell this b*stard

what you'll tell the cops
if I order you to do so.

If I have to give my statement,

I'll say I witnessed
the fight you and Elvira had.

You're the scum of humanity and a traitor.

After everything Mariano did for you…

Because you got to be a candidate
thanks to him.

Shame on you. There's no evidence
for what you're saying.

You're insulting me!

Mariano was like a father to me.

Stop pretending, please!

I will file to exhume
Mariano's body

and I will prove he was m*rder*d.

And I will not allow

you or Guillermo
to take over the administration.

You heard me.

Jaime, what's going on?

If this gets out,
not even God will save you.

If I have to get into details,

I'll say that she…
accused you of Mariano's death.

A word of advice,
Mr. President, don't risk it.

Because, aside from the scandal
this would cause,

you would be investigated,

and I'd make sure to destroy you,
and I would have no choice

but to replace you as president.

I like power,

being behind that power,
Mr. President.

But if you'd like to play rough,
I'll play rough.

And guess who's going to lose?

Now, if you want us to make peace,

you'll correct the f*cking assignments
you gave me,

the ones you shouted from the rooftops,
you'll do as I say,

and you can easily keep playing president.

Otherwise, you'll be responsible
for Elvira Ortega's death, too.

You have until tomorrow to let Paulina go

and kick that b*tch Analía
out of the government.

No way. This is actually crazy.

-Huh?
-Huh?

Well, this is so last season.
It's disgusting.

Look what I brought for you.

-What's that?
-Don't you know?

That level of bad taste
is very well known, isn't it?

Get a load of Lefty.
He's wearing it. It suits him just fine.

Get off me.

What do you want?

Nothing.

To see if you'd k*lled Mariano.

And you did.

So let's do this, we'll dress you in that,

we'll take some photos
and send them to your darling.

So he'll see how much fun you're having.

I will k*ll you, b*tch.

Unbelievable, huh?

She's got many diplomas,
she's a lawyer, she knows the law.

But her vocabulary falls short.
She needs a new dictionary.

To improve it.

Things in life get done
through intelligence, not force,

because yours
is a bit of a primitive style, it's basic.

It doesn't suit your pretty face so well.

You want to see me
dressed as a prost*tute?

You're going to have to sh**t me first.

Okay, suit yourself.

We'll dress you up
and take the photos anyway though.

And we'll send them to Mejía, but now…

Those pictures will be everywhere.
Papers, magazines,

social media, TV news.

Mejía will freak out.

Do whatever you want.

Nothing will ever stop Guillermo.

Lay a finger on me,
you'll see what happens.

Why do you say that? Because
of your little money-laundering friends?

Are you playing detective again?

Did you believe the bullshit
Cristina Ruiz fed you?

Would you look at that?

Cristina was telling the truth.
Thanks for confirming.

Deal with her.

Are you dressing on your own,
or do you need a hand, baby?

Mejía's pinned me down
about Mariano.

And Fernando, the backstabbing scumbag,
is on his side too.

What is he asking
to keep him from reporting it?

He's desperate for Paulina.

He demanded I release her,
and fire you.

Okay.

I'll call you back, okay?

Thank you.

What's up, Froggy? All good?

All is fair in love and w*r.

Are you going to beat her up or what?

I'd love to, but we won't.

No.

She's a good weapon.
We just need to know how to use her.

I can't wrap my head around it.

I can't understand
how a mother could let her daughter

be near a r*pist, a pervert, Magda.

You can't help that. She is her mother.

You could only take away
Carolina's parental rights,

and I don't think you'd do that.

If I must, I'll do it.
But I will not expose her.

I'm sorry to let you down, Pablo,
but you and I know

that a mom hardly ever
gets her child taken away.

And, being honest, we both know
what's happening to you goes beyond that.

I must rearrange my life.

Tell me.

I'm alone, Magda.

I'm alone. And it's hard to accept it.

I'm alone because we don't have a team.

I know you're here, but there's no team.

Benji and Juan Mario
have always been loyal to Analía.

Sebastián betrayed me.

And the last person
that I thought would betray me,

Analía,

put the final nail in the coffin.

Have you talked to her?

What for?

She made up her mind.

I know it's not comforting,
but I won't desert you.

Thank you.

For your constant support.

When the past is gone
and the future is unknown,

our only option is to hope
for the future to be better.

Where is that quote from?

Nino Bravo, Pimpinela.

-Borges?
-No.

Cheers.

To the future.

To the future.

In the documents Cristina gave me,

you can see those companies
are created to defraud the state.

They get paid and vanish.

However, I found out
that Santiago Castiblanco

was the owner of several companies
and Paulina's partner. Look.

Well… Mejía has the gift

of finding people
who'll take the fall for him.

Tell me about it.

I had to pay for his crimes in Ecuador,
and he never showed up.

He's obsessed
with people doing stuff for him.

There it is.

There it is.

Hence, Mejía's anxiety
to find Paulina. He can't.

He can't find her and is going insane.

What are you saying?

Let's see.
We're making Mejía's life harder

by holding Paulina c*ptive.

She must be the point of contact
in that corruption network.

As she can't be found,
guess who they'll turn to.

Then you'll have his pawn locked up.

We'll negotiate
to keep Rosales as the President.

First, I need to find evidence
that not only is he a m*rder*r,

but also that he has
a whole organized mafia network.

Why don't we…

just cut off Rosales's head
once and for all?

Just saying.

Who do you think you're playing with?

With a coward like you.

And do you think that picture suffices?

I am well aware that my evidence

would only harm Paulina and Rosales.

But I have her.

So, if you mean to save her,
you'll to have to meet me.

I'll send you the time and place,
so we can chat.
