A NETFLIX SERIES

HER MOTHER'S k*ller, SEASON 2

Good morning.

Oh, sorry. Good morning.

Sorry if I'm overstepping,
but I couldn't get any sleep.

I was up all night thinking
about what happened with Alberto,

so I decided to have some coffee.

-Coffee, yes.
-Do you want some?

-No.
-Just a little, it's good.

Is there any cinnamon?

-Cinnamon or cardamom?
-Cinnamon. I like it in my coffee.

Cinnamon should be over there.
I think it's there, the cinnamon.

Is Clotilde still sleeping?

Doesn't she get up early?

Yes, she does, but the chores aren't, um…

Well, she's at the…

I prefer--

Good morning. I was helping her
find the cinnamon,

but it's-- because she likes coffee
with cinnamon.

She likes to add spices to coffee
to… the flavor.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-How did you sleep, Dulce? Well?

-Chill, I didn't ask you anything.
-Yeah…

Coffee?

Sure, okay. Thank you.

I couldn't find any cinnamon.

-Go shower, honey.
-Thought it was cardamom.

Okay, bye.

Do you know where the cinnamon is?
Is there any or not?

No. Is cardamom okay?

No, not cardamom. No.

Aren't you cold?

I can lend you some pajamas,
I have a ton of sets.

No, it's fine. I'm not used to pajamas.

I grew up in a hot climate,
so I'm always hot. It's terrible.

Don't worry. Um…

Do you think Clotilde will be up soon
to make us some eggs?

Castillo. What are you doing here?

Nobody's died, you know? Hmm?

Ifigenia, how are you?

I was told to bring Eric here.

He's working around here in this area.

-Hi.
-She's Ifigenia, the midwife.

Nice to meet you.

-Mr. Eric…?
-Eric Sánchez.

-A pleasure.
-How are you?

What brings you here?

Well, I work for an NGO.

We build hospitals and clinics

in remote locations in Central America
and, well, now we are here.

We'll assess if it's viable.

And I know you can help me
carry out a census among the locals.

It seems that Melgarejo
was found dead in Panama,

in the outskirts of Santa Fe.

That's the town I stayed in
when I was pregnant.

Let's see… Paulina may have sent him
to look for Scorpion.

She may be worried about
Guillermo's safety. That tracks.

Because she knows that mercenary
can take anyone's life

when you least expect it.

Well, it's better for us
if they keep thinking that guy is alive.

It will make them more paranoid.

How did Melgarejo die?

According to the forensic report,

the body had wounds
made by a sharp, pointed weapon

which caused his death.

After his passing, he was cremated.

Paulina's in jail, so Guillermo
needs someone to do his dirty work.

He's a k*ller, just like her.

I could bet all my fingers

that that guy is alive and this is a farce
so he can work in the shadows.

What I don't like is
the fact he's in that town,

because he may find out about my daughter.

We have one task,
and that is to look after Anita,

not to protect the neighbors.

That lady has to leave here now.

We told Ezequiel this was a game, my God.

If that hag gets the boy alone
and starts asking him questions,

he might talk.

I actually agree with Andrea
and Cloti too.

I'm sorry, but if I call you otherwise,
I'll screw up.

Look, I'm sorry,
I know I messed up.

I'm really sorry for bringing that woman
into this house.

It shouldn't have happened.

But you don't know
how lonely and vulnerable she must feel.

I felt sorry for her.

You're kind and you have a heart of gold,

but I don't think
she'll thank you for this.

Me neither.

I promise I'll get Irma out
of this house today.

I'll get her a car to take her
to her family,

or I'll check her into a hotel,

but if anything happens to Anita
because of me, I'd never forgive myself.

Yeah, but don't worry.

Once Irma leaves, it will be all right.

We have neutralized
that guy with the dirty conscience.

It will be fine.

Do me a favor and have the doorman
alert you when the Linares arrive.

-And you come tell us. Okay?
-Yes, sir.

Thank you.

You were right.

Those two fell for a little fake crying.

Especially Dulce.

She was moved by what I told her,

and I don't know,
I think she was abused herself.

Wait, so that Alfonso guy beats her then?

To be honest, I'm not sure,
but it wasn't very clear.

She said it wasn't him,
but I really don't know.

What I do know is that it was a good idea
for me to be in that house,

because I'll find out everything.

Those two wannabes will understand
they can't mess with you or me.

That's why you can't get yourself
kicked out.

Mm-hmm.

Cry, lie, do whatever it takes,

-but don't let them take you to a hotel.
-Okay.

Make the most of your gift for drama,
because you're a natural, hmm?

Stop it.

All I want to know is where
they come from, why they're here,

and soon, because my back hurts.

I miss my mattress and my pillow.

-I want to come home.
-Oh, yeah?

Is that why?

Remember you painted me as a cuckold
in front of them.

So you better focus, watch and hear
every little thing that happens in there.

Mm-hmm.

That guy is going to pay
for sh**ting down my tennis court project.

Was my profile photo misleading?

No, not at all.

Irma?

Irma!

Irma? What's going on?

There's a… bug I'm trying to shoo away
because it scared me and…

What? What is it?

Why do you always want to know
what I'm doing?

Is there any problem with the help

since you're always following me around,
asking me questions?

Don't be nosy.

I was looking for you. Where were you?

No, it's just--

She was in the small spare room

making silly faces and hand gestures
to somebody.

Silly fa…?

I was just… There was a bug I was chasing.

Anyway, never mind.

Look, I know she is like family to you,
she looks after the children,

but she's being rude to me.

She's insolent at every turn.

Cloti, the children are waiting for you
to go to the park.

Can you see to that, please?

Hope they don't catch a bug out there.

Listen, I need to talk to you.

Sure.

I understand your situation, I do,
but I need you to understand mine too.

I just moved into this house

and I need to settle down in every space,

in all of them, with my children.

So I need you to leave.

I have to leave?

We won't leave you high and dry, though.

Look, I was thinking of picking
a nice hotel

where you can be comfortable and at ease,

or, we can get you a car
so you can go to your family,

as you prefer.

That woman was signaling to her husband
from here. I saw her.

She is up to something, Toto.

Look, she was trying to log in,
but she couldn't,

because I set up a password.
Security k*lled the cop.

Listen, I know I told you
we should get rid of her immediately,

but now I think about it,

what if we let her stay
for a couple more days?

So we can figure out
what the Puentes are up to.

That will be tough,
trying to persuade Andrea.

She's a tough, grumpy cookie.

And she's right,
we have skeletons in our closet.

What do we do then?

I don't know. We should let that woman
stay, say, two more days,

so we can keep an eye on her
and find out what her plan is.

What a great idea.

Oh, that's what you said, right?

Well, that's the idea.

-Thanks.
-Okay? Like that.

How many children do you have?

It's hot, isn't it?

Here, so you can cool down.

Thank you.

Well? What are you doing here?

Oh. I work for an NGO.

We want to build
some small medical clinics

here in this rural area and, well,
maybe even a hospital.

That's the plan.

That's amazing!

Doctors rarely ever come to these parts.

That's unbelievable.

But I was told that La Esperanza
was a pretty privileged place.

Privileged? Why?

Yeah, because you are protected by…

What did they tell you?

That you're protected by the government
and get help.

-Oh! And you bought that?
-No.

That's all lies.
Those people don't care about us.

They took this guy for a fool.

He was told the government protects us.

See?

You mustn't believe the outsiders.

You never know if they're con men
trying to take advantage of you.

No, come on. We're not.

What we want is to bring you access
to health services.

-Uh-huh.
-That's all.

I was ordered to bring
Javier Melgarejo's body

to the crematory.

I'll need a sample of his ashes
to run a spectroscopy

and confirm it's him.

I've identified many corpses, even
in worse conditions than that criminal's,

and I've never been wrong!

So I don't understand your mistrust.

What was the hurry
to cremate Melgarejo's body?

All the corpses from the jungle
are sent here,

and though many have been
in advanced decay stages and even IDed,

they haven't been cremated.

A bit suspicious, isn't it?

It's not up to me which bodies
are sent to the crematory.

Besides, I can't give you the ashes
because… well, I don't have them.

So, if you have no further questions,

I need to get back to work.

Thanks for your time.

What is it?
Why are you calling?

-They're looking for you.
-Who?

His name is Sebastián Casas.

I hope you weren't as scared
as you are now when you talked to him.

Because if he suspects anything,
we'll be in trouble.

No, not at all.

I'm just calling
so you can leave La Esperanza.

You don't want that guy showing up there
and uncovering the lie.

If he comes back,
find out where he's staying,

and I'll take care of the rest.

-That son of a b*tch owes me one.
-Okay.

-You look beautiful.
-Thank you.

I highly doubt that,
in the history of this country,

we've ever had
such a beautiful first lady.

And I highly doubt that,
in the history of this country,

we've ever had such a handsome,
clever and charismatic president as you.

Well, we're the perfect couple.

Everyone uses the botulinum toxin.

Women and men.

Since everyone believes it's harmless,
nobody will think you poisoned her.

Okay, this is what you'll do.

You'll give her small doses
in all of her three meals, every day.

Then you'll…

What?

Carolina was wrong to mess with you.

Hmm…

And her death will be slow, painful.

And she'll leave this world

suffering from what
she put her daughter through.

I think that's a nice way to go.

Honey.

I can't take my eyes off you.

I'm a lucky man.

Huh?

What?

Smile again.

Your smile is perfect.

And those tiny wrinkles you're getting
around your eyes

light up your face in a way I love.

Oh, to be honest, I…

I don't like them much.

Are they too obvious?

No, I mean, I can see them,
but it's normal, right?

Oh, no. That's terrible.

I don't want to be a wrinkled old lady.

No, that won't happen to you. No.

Never. You're gorgeous.

There are many products
to prevent that nowadays.

If you'd like to, you could get that fixed

in under two minutes
with the botulinum toxin.

How do you know so much about this?

I've always had women in my life.

But you look beautiful. You really do.

Still,

if you wish to have some touch-ups done,
I will totally support you.

-Really?
-Yes.

If you want,

we can have any surgeon you choose
to perform the treatment.

He can come here to the Presidential House
to keep things discreet.

So you're comfortable.

Okay.

I have to leave.

It's not that bad.
The hotel you picked has a spa.

I can ask Alfonso
to pay for a few sessions

so you can relax, all right?

Yes, thank you.

-Huh? What's up?
-But you don't have to.

Did your man ask you to come back or what?

No, it's not that.

Not in a million years.
No, Dulce is right.

I'm invading your privacy.

You need space and privacy as a family,
so I'd better go.

No, no, that's ridiculous.
You're staying. Your bag is staying.

No more talking, it's decided.

Look, the thing is, Dulce told me that…

I mean, you can stay for a couple of days,

but I will have to ask you
to please be a bit more…

Just don't show so much skin, okay?
In the morning.

I mean, don't walk around in a…
What is it? "Baby roll"?

-Baby doll.
-Baby doll, exactly.

Wear pajamas please. You can ask Dulce,
she has beautiful nightgowns.

-Borrow one from her.
-I'm so embarrassed.

It's because of the kids,
it's a matter of, um… decency.

And I don't want the kids to see that.

I'm sorry, Dulce. You should have told me.
Was that it? Is that why you--?

No, look, it's fine.

Since Alfonso has changed his mind,
then… you're welcome in this house.

-Make yourself at home. Again.
-Yes.

-You sure?
-Sure.

-Is it really okay?
-Yes.

Oh, that's a relief.

I was really worried,
I didn't know what I was going to do.

Alone again, at a moment like this…
Thank you!

I'll make some coffee.
Would you like some?

-No, thanks.
-What a relief.

Go ahead, help yourself.

What's this?

-Why is she back?
-We have a plan.

I'm so lost.

What plan is this?

We have a plan.

-Come on in, please. Excuse me.
-What's this?

Excuse me.

Why are they here?

I can't find the cinnamon.
I like my coffee with cinnamon

and I can't find it. What happened?

-Did something break?
-No, just a plumbing thing.

Nothing serious though.

I don't know who the bigger gossip is,
you or your housekeeper.

-What?
-Go on.

Let's go find the cinnamon. This way.

Oh, you smell amazing. I love you.

I love you so much.

It's okay.

I want time to stop.

I want time to stop. Yes.

Anita's grown, hasn't she?

Yes, she has.

But we aren't here just for her.

We're here about the neighbor
you brought into the house.

I've never kept secrets from my daughter.

It was me who let--

I know you love my daughter, Dorita.

But bringing a stranger in here?

What's wrong with you?

Your duty has been clear from the start.

You should lie low
to protect Ana and Ezequiel, that's it.

That's all.

We're all in danger.
What were you thinking?

Not just Ana.

We can't afford any risks right now,
can we?

Is there anything
you're not telling us?

The prosecutor
got a tip yesterday.

They told him Melgarejo
was k*lled in Panama, but I don't buy it.

I believe he's alive and still digging.

And if he is,
he'll find Ana sooner or later.

Look.

We just can't run risks anymore.

We must be more vigilant than ever, okay?

Andrea and Ana are leaving with us today.

I understand and respect your decision,
and I admit we made a mistake,

but I can't agree with this.

If Melgarejo finds out about Anita,
he'll tell Mejía.

And Mejía won't waste any time
to use Anita to mess with you, Froggy.

I think she should stay here.

I know you'd die for her.

But they're leaving with us
like Pablo said,

and you'll leave here this weekend.

Understood?

They're looking for you
and I don't want them to ruin you.

Whatever you think is best, Froggy.

Sebastián is in Panama right now.

He's verifying
if the tip about Melgarejo is true.

-Dr. Londoño.
-Mr. President.

Thank you for coming to the House.

You'll understand we don't want to expose
my wife to harmful comments,

so we wholeheartedly thank you
for your discretion.

Mr. President, it's an honor to be
chosen by the First Lady

to treat her personally.

With all due respect,
you are a beautiful woman.

Your skin looks very healthy.

Thank you. It's just that the president--

I totally agree with you on that, Doctor.

The First Lady is gorgeous,
stunning, always.

But if she's happy getting a few touch-ups
here and there, I mean,

I won't be the one to judge her, right?

On the contrary,
I'll do all I can to please her.

No, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to criticize
the First Lady's decision.

It's all right.

Once again, thank you so much
for bringing all your equipment here.

-May we have a moment?
-Yes, sir.

-I'll go get ready. Excuse me.
-Thank you.

-Do you trust this doctor?
-Completely, my love.

Okay, check that the vial is sealed, yes?

That it's the right product.

And if we must buy the whole batch,
we'll buy it.

You're overreacting.

It's just… I want everything to be safe.

You're the most important person to me,
the one who loves me sincerely.

So promise me you'll listen to me.

-Anything you say.
-Okay?

Now I must go to work.
The country is expecting me.

Mr. President, excuse me.
You must see this.

What you see in this video
happened two nights ago at my apartment.

My dad was trying to make me jump.

He wanted me to take my own life.

I assume you've found the origin
of the transmission, right?

-The engineers are working on it, sir.
-They're on it?

So they haven't found it yet?

How much longer will it take them?
How many days, how many months?

Huh? We've got all the time
in the world, right?

My dad wanted to get back at me
for bringing his lover to justice,

the k*ller Paulina Peña.

I want to tell the Iratus group

that I don't blame them.

Because I'm sure they didn't know
they were putting me in danger

by revealing I contacted them.

How were they to imagine
that the president's own daughter

was out to betray her dad?

The very same man she had helped

to sell the image of a selfless politician
who fights for his country and his family.

I don't believe a word about that guy.

I'm sure many of you
can imagine what the truth is.

The truth is that Guillermo León Mejía…

is a monster who's capable
of manipulating you…

…until he destroys you.

Being the daughter of Guillermo León Mejía
is a curse

because he is vile and vicious.

What a miserable man. What kind
of father would do that to his daughter?

Guillermo León Mejía not only k*lled
Analía Guerrero's mother…

he also k*lled my mom.

He provoked a stroke in Pedro Álamo

so he'd have to drop out of the race
for the vice-presidency

and Mejía stepped in.

And he is the real culprit
behind President Rosales' assassination,

along with his accomplice, Paulina Peña.

I'm aware I have no proof for my claims
at this moment,

because the criminals that work for him
took care of his dirty deeds.

But I swear…

that neither my siblings nor I

will rest until we free this country

from that k*ller.

We will use this platform
to tell you everything.

All we ask of you
is to listen to what we say.

It's up to you to believe us or not.

Did you make sure
the signal can't be traced?

Yes, this place is shielded.

Every time they tried, the server
gave them options in three continents.

Hey, you're a badass
and that rat must be seething.

Well done.

Now we wait
for Guillermo's reaction to this.

That's no mystery.

He'll surely play the victim, as usual.

-Did you check social media?
-Yes.

Actually, Sofi is trending.

The number of "likes" keeps going up.

I noticed the comments against Mejía
are quite harsh.

I know this wasn't easy for you.

You're brave.

Well done.

You did great. It's okay.

How dare Sofía say
I wanted her to end her life?

I don't understand how… I don't get it.

How can she accuse me
of something so terrible

when she knows how I suffered
after my dad's suicide?

And Juan Mario's attempted suicide too.

I know exactly how you're feeling.

When I was little,

my dad would threaten to k*ll himself
all the time.

And when he finally did it,

he took my childhood with him.

You and I had fathers
who wounded us very deeply.

But you know what?

Today…

I thank God for having you in my life.

Because it's thanks to you
that I've overcome many insecurities

and many fears.

I'm tired of having to defend myself
from my own children.

Of exposing my life
before the country's eyes.

For the first time, I'm at a loss.

I feel so much pain that…

I just want to give up my position and…

and publicly ask the prosecutor
to carry out an investigation

into all of Sofía's claims against me.

My love, don't say that.

It would be like admitting guilt.

Guillermo, it will be all right, okay?

I'm here with you,
and I'm willing to do anything for you.

Thank you for interviewing me.

To be honest, I didn't have a choice.

It was a direct order
from the channel's director.

Before we begin,
I'd like to know something.

Why me?

Because you're earnest.

Thank you.

I must warn you, I will be very diligent
with my questions.

I know.

That's why I chose you,

because I know
you wouldn't let any lies slide.

I know very well
that if my fellow Colombians

see that I'm talking to you,

then they'll realize I'm being
perfectly clear and honest.

Very well.

I've always had such a toxic relationship
with my dad.

I would go from loving him to hating him.

And he made me feel as if…

it was all because of my self-doubt.

That I was weak.

I'm obviously no psychiatrist,

but I know the damage
someone like Mejía can cause,

especially when he discovers
people's vulnerable points.

There was a time when I thought

that I could be strong

and endure his attacks.

But it was the biggest lie
I've told myself.

The truth is I'm scared to death.

Honey, don't say that. You're very strong.

And this is a testament to that.
You acknowledge it,

you recognize the trauma.

That's the first step
for us to work on it, hmm?

It's not that, it's…

I'm disgusted with myself.

I was a shitty person to my mom,
to Alejandra, to Analía,

even to Juan Mario.

Sofía, stop. Look at me.

Look at me.

Love, you have to stop.

There's no point in blaming yourself
for something that's in the past.

You guys did your best
with what you went through.

That's no easy feat. You're all brave.

Take your siblings, for instance.

They got out of the hole
Mejía put them in.

They got rid of their trauma.

Love, you can do it too. You're strong,
you must believe in yourself.

Besides, you're not alone. I'm here.

Addressing this topic publicly
is rather complicated for me.

I'm only doing it
because I want justice to be dealt.

My husband is very hurt and sad right now.

So much so
that he won't talk to the press.

Imagine what it must be like for a dad

to feel that his own children
hate him and vilify him,

like his own are doing now.

What could be Sofía Mejía's reasons
to slander the president like she did?

Every Colombian knows
about Analía's very public hatred

towards her father.

She blames him
for having a miserable childhood.

But that actually
isn't my husband's fault,

but Analía's mother's fault,

who never informed him
of the girl's existence.

I understand her pain. Her wound is valid.

But I don't understand
what she's done with that.

Instead of seeking help

or accepting Guillermo's offer
to be a real father to her,

she's kept fueling her hatred.

And right now, she's using her siblings'
weakness to her advantage.

So, according to you,

Sofía Mejía is being manipulated
by Ms. Guerrero?

Of course.

What will the president do?

Because his daughter's accusations
against him are quite serious.

Right now, Guillermo is willing to talk
to the prosecutor's office

if they request his testimony.

He will obviously not retaliate
against his daughter.

Don't you think the president's stance
is open to many interpretations?

Or that Sofía Mejía may be telling
the truth or that--?

Or that Sofía is unwell.

Bringing that up is painful to me.

I care deeply for Sofía.

But we must accept that…

Sofía is emotionally unstable.

She suffers from anxiety attacks
and eating disorders.

And all of that contributed
to her wanting to take her own life.

In the video you saw of my husband,

he's trying to dissuade Sofía
from committing suicide.

He's trying to get her to understand
just how priceless her life is,

how important she is to all of us.

Now, this isn't the first time Analía
has hatched a plot like this

along with her siblings.

I don't know if you remember
that huge scandal involving Juan Mario,

when Analía sent him a prost*tute
to make him look bad

before the press and the media.

That led to Juan Mario's
attempted suicide.

It's amazing how blind she is.

Back then, Analía used
Juan Mario's alcoholism against him

and now she's using Sofía's disease.

Hey, cousin.

Carolina isn't blind.
She's just thick in the head.

Who would defend a demon like that?

Well, he trained her well.

Hmm?

She made his kids look like sick people.

And easily manipulated,
among other things.

She completely destroyed
every good thing Sofía had done.

I agree with you.

Besides, no one is going to dare question
an interview by Ignacio de la Vega.

Opinions are divided.

There's those who believe Sofía
and those who believe Mejía.

But I'm also seeing there are many people
who say the First Lady is an upright woman

and that she is brave
for facing the country.

You have to be an idiot
to believe a crazy hag like her.

Yeah, but don't underestimate her.
She's come a long way, hasn't she?

All she cares about right now

is getting on Mejía's good side,

to make up for the damage she's done.

What do you think?

Could she believe he didn't realize
she poisoned him?

Yes. It's much easier to be in denial
and convince herself that she loves him.

Right?

Guillermo is many things,

selfish above all,

but the truth is
he has feelings for Paulina.

If Carolina doesn't get away from Mejía,
she's done for.

They love Carolina,
she's trending on social media

and the response is positive.

They are taking everything she said
as true facts.

Are you having second thoughts?

Will you not get rid of Carolina or what?

No, no second thoughts,
but I must seize this opportunity too.

Where are you going with this?

The more they love her,
the harder her death will be,

and the whole country will show me support
for such a terrible loss.

Ingrid, cancel all my meetings.
I'm not feeling well.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for everything
you've done for me.

I know that…

this thing with Paulina
is very hard for you.

And I don't want you to…

keep anything from me.

I just want you to consider that,
despite all the bad,

this might be good.

You would have never left Paulina

and she causes a lot of trouble
for your administration.

She's a stain.

Paulina's arrogance led to your separation

from her without you having
to do anything.

I'm really sorry it had to end like that.

She is the only person I was close to
when I was a teenager.

But I can't just forgive her…

for trying to take your life.
