Original subtitles

I'll make sure Patricia O'Farrell keeps her mouth shut.

If she wakes up, can you deal with her?

- Of course I can. - Use your gun.

I heard you talking to my mother, and I heard that...

I'm not your nephew, but...

your son.

Teresa, Paty's losing control.

It's been happening for some time, and you, too.

I mean, your control over her.

I don't like your tone of voice.

Sit down.

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Get off me!

You don't love me.

You've never loved me, and you'll never give me a chance.

Patricia O'Farrell found out about Operation Safo.

- Found out what? - Everything. She's currently being held.

In the end, I told you the truth and fell in love with you.

- Get off me! - Paty, please!

Don't trust anyone, investigate everyone.

All the people who are close to you.

You must deny everything she may possibly say about you, got it?

They had an accident.

One of them died, but we don't know who.

Something told me you were a traitor.

Teresa...

there's been an accident.

Paty?

We just found out that she's been in a car accident.

I knew it.

She's crazy. What happened?

- She was in the car with Lupe... - With Lupe?

Didn't they break up?

Teresa, one of the two died.

And the other one's in a critical condition.

They haven't said who,

but someone has to go to the morgue and identify the body.

Where's Pote?

Where's Pote? Pote?

- Teresa, I'll go with you. - Pote!

- We'll go with you, Teresa. - I'll go with you.

I'm Teresa Mendoza. I'm here to identify a body.

What are you doing here, Flores?

I heard about Patricia O'Farrell's accident,

and I want to gather information. Go ahead.

Lupita.

Cause of death; multiple injuries.

I still don't understand what a cop from the DEA is doing...

at a car accident investigation.

I'm interested in everything related to the Queen of the South and her gang,

as well as the Aurelio Carmona's cargo.

20 tons of cocaine hidden inside reels of industrial thread.

How does it feel to lose so much money?

What are you talking about?

Coming!

Popeye.

Ratas.

- Do you know how to count? - Of course, boss.

It was my damn fault, Verónica!

I can't continue with Operation Safo.

I need to return to Mexico as soon as possible.

I'm an agent, but I'm also a human being!

Human being my ass!

When you entered the agency,

you knew you had to push your private life aside.

We're about to bust them, Verónica,

and it all depends on you.

Is this half of it?

What do I have to do?

Well, what you do best.

But this time it's not just anybody.

Who do we need to get rid of?

The presidential candidate Antonio De las Casas.

He's coming to Culiacán tomorrow.

Let's make a deal, Teo.

I want money in exchange for my silence.

Don't worry, it won't be much.

I'll be happy with a few million.

Deal?

I don't believe you, Nino.

I know who you are and what you're capable of.

Why did you follow me?

There's nothing you can do, Teo.

Oleg knows I'm after you.

So you have no choice.

Either you negotiate with me, or you're going down.

It's your choice.

You leave me no choice.

So you don't know anything about the Aurelio Carmona or its cargo?

No.

Pote, please call the office and tell Ramos and Conejo

to arrange everything to send Lupita's body to Mexico,

and have them inform her family.

- Thanks. - Poor girl.

Another friend of yours is dead.

Like the Galician Fisterra, Eddie Álvarez,

Fátima and Mohammed Manssur...

You know what, Mexican?

I'm starting to think you're cursed or something.

A private cemetery.

Everyone who knows you, ends up dead.

Goodnight.

Hey, if you manage to talk to your friend when she comes out of her coma,

give her a message from me.

Tell her I know she was driving,

and that we found 10 grams of cocaine and several bottles of alcohol.

So, O'Farrell or not, she won't get away with this one,

and I'll personally make sure of that.

Please, close it.

What do you want, Teo?

I'm at the morgue.

Patricia O'Farrell had an accident and she's in a critical condition.

And Verónica died.

I don't know anything about that, just listen to me.

I'm fucked.

I need help from the DEA, Narcotics, anybody.

I just killed Nino.

You did what, you idiot?

He busted me after speaking to Flores.

He realized I'm the mole and I'm cooperating with you.

He was going to call Teresa! I had no choice but to shoot him!

Listen...

You have to help me.

You must get me out of this mess, no matter what!

This guy's an idiot!

- What the fuck happened now? - Teo Aljarafe!

- That idiot just killed Nino. - What do you mean he killed Nino?

He killed Juárez?

What the fuck is that asshole thinking?

This is Antonio De las Casas.

This here is the park. Got it?

All right.

These four in the back are his bodyguards, OK?

They're his ring of security, as the Government say.

And I'll always be right beside you,

keeping an eye out at all times, got it?

Don't worry about these guys, we'll take them out if necessary, OK?

Come on.

The most important thing now, is where you'll be,

which is in the back, behind everything.

So, these ones are here,

and we'll wait for him to get down from his princess' pedestal...

and mix with the crowd.

That's when you'll come in,

because the whole entourage will go here and here,

and you'll go right behind.

And once the guy is here,

he'll start walking around with all these guys behind him,

and you'll grab anything, this rag maybe,

and you'll walk around rooting "De las Casas",

and you'll sneak in, like a rat, in between the guards.

You'll keep shouting "De las Casas!"

Play the fool, so nobody recognizes you.

And when you're right behind him, you draw your weapon and...

Blow his brains out.

Got it?

It's very clear.

But you haven't told me what to do so as not to be killed by this guy,

this guy, this guy, or this one here.

Cheers.

MARBELLA, SPAIN

You know what? I'm going home.

I'll take a taxi and be there in 10 minutes.

All right. Be careful.

I have to finish packing and...

tomorrow morning I leave for Mexico.

I'll see you there soon.

Thank you.

It appears that, in my life, I've gotten used to...

saying goodbye to my family.

I don't know if I ever told you, Verónica...

You were part of my family.

And I'm also sad because...

we'll no longer work in the same department.

- Are you leaving? - No.

No, you're the one who is leaving, Willy.

The boss is coming to speak to you in a few minutes.

Washington agreed, and you're being sent to Spain.

So pack your bags,

because you're going to Europe as a DEA agent.

Teresa Mendoza's days of freedom are numbered.

There's a car waiting to take you to the airport.

Have a safe flight, boss.

And also, I'm sure...

you were going to be the best female detective...

in the entire agency.

SERIES BASED ON THE ORIGINAL WORK OF ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE

I had to shoot.

He followed me. The bastard was following me for days.

I had no other choice.

He turned up right after you left.

Where did you get the gun?

Teresa gave it to me. It's not registered.

The serial number has been erased.

What a great gift from the Queen of the South.

I didn't want to kill him.

Aljarafe, what's done is done.

- It's Teresa. - Answer.

I can't, I'm too nervous. I can't answer it, I can't talk to her.

Calm down.

This may come in handy for the alibi we need to think up.

Where are you supposed to be now?

- At home. - Go on, answer.

Hello, my love.

Sorry for not answering before,

I fell asleep in the kids' room.

Yes, I was really tired. Are you still at the office?

Something very serious has happened, Teo.

An accident.

Paty is in a critical condition at the hospital.

And Lupe died.

What?

What are you saying? Poor thing. And how is Paty?

She's seriously hurt,

but the doctor said she should survive.

Don't go anywhere, OK? I'll come get you right now.

Thanks for coming down, Teo. I'm at the Costa del Sol Hospital.

See you here soon.

Aljarafe, you can tell you're a lawyer.

You must be really careful in case Paty wakes up.

You must prevent Teresa from talking to her before I do so myself. Got it?

Does Paty know I'm your spy?

I don't know yet, that's why I have to interrogate her.

Oh God, she knows.

Calm down. Even if she does know, I'll offer her a deal she can't refuse.

Now it's time to leave, Teresa is expecting you.

Flores.

Nino told me Oleg asked him to follow me.

If he finds out he was killed, he'll point the finger at me.

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

You take care of Teresa, and we'll deal with this.

Here, Martín.

Okay.

Let's start over.

When the candidate gets to the park,

it will be packed with all kinds of people.

Half of the city will be there to support the candidate,

and some members of the political party too.

So therefore this guy, this guy, this guy, and this guy won't shoot you, ok?

Because then they would have to shoot the civil population.

Got it? Good.

Also, I will always be here next to the candidate,

watching your back in case anything happens,

which it won't.

However, it's very important-- Now pay close attention to this.

You need to have someone somewhere, in some corner,

waiting for you with a bike,

because it's really important that you get out of there immediately,

get home, lock up, and swallow the key.

OK?

I don't think it's as easy as you say it is.

Don't tell me you're chickening out.

Are you afraid of dying?

We were born to die, man.

Or are you giving up?

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm a hit man.

I have an expiration date, like a yogurt.

The barcode is on my back, man.

That's more like it, my friend.

Look, man, I have a mother and a wife...

expecting me to provide for them.

And if I die, who will provide for them? You?

You,

with the job you're going to do, coming up from behind, as agreed,

and getting rid of this dingbat.

And if something does happen to you, which it won't,

I swear I'll take the rest of the money to your wife.

Do you swear?

On my life.

Are you in?

Right. Come on.

Just tell me the time, because this De las Casas bastard...

will be national history tomorrow.

Cheers.

I like the way you think.

Teresa, I'm here.

It's a miracle that she's alive.

My God, poor Paty.

The car was destroyed and the two were sent flying.

How did it happen?

We don't know much yet.

Only that they were driving fast,

they lost control, and fell off a cliff, I don't know.

Paty is in trouble, Teo.

They found cocaine and alcohol in her blood and in the car,

and Paty was driving.

Flores told me that when she wakes up, she'll be charged with homicide.

Well, don't worry, OK?

I'll take care of everything.

Paty.

Can you hear me?

You're going to be fine.

You're going to recover, do you hear me?

The poor thing must be hurting from head to toe.

She'll come out of this.

No, Teo.

Paty has wanted to die for a long time.

Come here.

You must be really careful in case Paty wakes up.

You must prevent Teresa from talking to her before I do so myself. Got it?

The gray hour.

Ma'am.

How much of this was my fault, Pote?

No, ma'am...

You're not to blame.

That's life.

Life happens fast and hard, and takes us by surprise.

The truth is that...

Paty's life would have ended badly with or without you.

But there are silences that I can't deny I heard very clearly.

Oleg told me that.

I'm beginning to understand the meaning.

I never should have left Paty alone.

Ma'am, why don't you get some rest?

It's almost dawn, and you need to rest.

I want to be alone, Pote.

As you wish, ma'am.

You know what? I'm tired of this stupid game.

Do you want to take coke? Take all you want, OK?

I'll get it for you, so you can take it until you die. That what you want?

I've let a lot of things slide, Patricia. I'm done.

Everyone around here is sick of you. You make me sick.

Paty, stop!

Stop, we're going to crash! Please let me drive!

I had to do my duty, and pretend to fall in love with you.

Good afternoon.

Let's see how the patient is.

I think we can take off the oxygen mask.

Carefully.

Breathe slowly.

Take your time.

If you want to recover, you need to rest, OK?

If you need anything, ring the bell and call me.

That's all.

Relax, relax...

It's good that you're awake.

I need to talk to you.

Chief, Nino's wife is on the phone...

Lady Juárez, how strange that you're calling.

No, I haven't heard from him.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear something.

I know you can't speak, but you can hear me, right?

I came to stop you from making a mistake that could be costly.

Verónica...

That's what I wanted to tell you.

She is dead.

You were driving the car,

and that means you're guilty of murder.

They found cocaine in your car.

Your body was full of alcohol, you were high.

I don't think a single judge is willing to help you.

Do you understand?

You and I are going to make a deal, Patricia.

Why are you here so early, Aljarafe?

Why do you think?

I'm worried. I didn't sleep a wink.

If the Russian finds out Nino was shot,

he'll point the finger at me, and I'll be a dead man.

First things first. Regarding Nino, all has been solved.

It's like nothing happened; you didn't shoot him and he wasn't shot.

Is that clear?

And you accuse me of being a criminal.

You do much worse things to get what you want.

You don't know how lucky you are that we need you to testify against Teresa.

Because personally, I like to see killers like you behind bars.

Or dead, right?

What if Paty wakes up and talks?

Last night she woke up for a few seconds.

If she gets out of this alive, she'll talk to Teresa and then I'm doomed.

Well, let's hope that doesn't happen.

Right now, Willy is offering her a deal.

- Her silence in exchange for her freedom. - No, listen to me.

Paty won't accept. I know her well.

She won't betray Teresa. We need to think of something else.

Your only option is to remain silent,

no one can know that Verónica was a spy,

unless you want to spend the rest of your life in prison.

I'm waiting for your reply.

- I accept. - What?

I won't tell anyone that Verónica was a cop.

Nino didn't sleep at home last night, and I can't find him anywhere.

Wait.

Wait a moment.

...cocaine discovered so far...

That's Nino.

The former head of the DEA, Saturnino Juárez,

died last night of a heart attack while with a prostitute...

at this motel in Marbella.

Are you watching the news?

Nino died last night of a heart attack.

Good.

I'm sure that...

Verónica would have wanted you to have this.

I don't know if I should tell you this,

but she almost left everything because of you,

because she fell in love with you.

And that was the mistake that killed her.

At least your silence...

will make sure Verónica's sacrifice wasn't in vain.

Got it?

I can count on you, right?

I'm also hurt by Verónica's death,

believe it or not.

Hey, Pa.

I'm preparing something that may be worth a gold star on my forehead.

- You? - Seriously.

And the whole 'Pa' thing, keep it to yourself, OK?

Okay,

but this time you will be proud of me.

You may even feel like calling me son.

I hope it's true, because you're a liar.

No, believe me.

Seriously, Pa.

Look,

with these credentials, you'll have access to the candidate.

I don't want you to make me look bad.

Don't do anything ridiculous.

Do you think Paty will stick to her word?

I don't know.

Antonio! Antonio!

My Lupe wasn't Lupe.

She was Verónica Cortés,

a DEA agent.
