So you have no choice.
Either you negotiate with me, or you're going down.
You leave me no choice.
Who do we need to get rid of?
The presidential candidate Antonio de las Casas.
I'm starting to think you're cursed or something.
A private cemetery.
Everyone who knows you ends up dead.
He was going to call Teresa! So I shot him!
And when you're right behind him, you draw your weapon and...
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.
It's good that you're awake.
I need to talk to you.
Right now, Willy is negotiating 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 must think of something else.
- I accept. - What?
I won't tell anyone that Verónica was a cop.
With these credentials, you'll have access to the candidate.
I don't want you to make me look bad.
How are you? How do you feel?
Do you feel better?
I'm happy to see you.
My Abbé Faria.
What did you do, Paty?
I don't want any sermons.
I'm not going to give you any.
You're already paying a high price.
Tell me what you need.
A mirror.
A mirror?
Are you crazy?
I'm not going to give you one.
You'll have plenty of time for that once you're better, but not now.
A mirror, please.
All the bumps and bruises on your face will disappear within a month, okay?
That's not me.
I don't recognize myself.
I don't want to be here. Take me home.
You can't just leave like that. You still need medical attention.
The nurses recognize me.
The press will come soon.
I don't want anybody to see me like this.
But I can't get you out of here, it's too risky.
I've seen you do riskier things.
Get me out the back door.
I have something important to tell you.
It's about Verónica.
Verónica? Who's Verónica?
Take me home and I'll tell you.
Do you think Paty will keep her word?
I don't know.
I don't know. I...
She looked really bad.
She felt responsible for Verónica's death.
And I feel like a miserable dog for having proposed such a deal...
in Verónica's name.
We had no other choice. And it still doesn't guarantee anything.
Now we need to get ready in case Patricia decides
to tell Teresa the truth.
If that happens, Flores,
I would have to leave Spain.
My bosses told me that, if my situation gets more complicated,
I should leave the case in your hands.
Would you be able to leave all this behind?
No.
What should I do?
We should call Aljarafe and ask him to go check on Teresa and Patricia.
- He's our last piece in this game. - We couldn't be in worse hands.
Aljarafe, it's Flores.
Yes, look, we need to meet.
Well, I can't tell you over the phone.
Yes, my Batman. Very nice.
- Your reports are very good, boy. - Thank you, boss.
It's a miracle seeing you here again.
It's for the best.
We'll meet more often after the elections.
- Of course, boss. - Well...
- Take care. - Have a nice day.
Off you go.
Hello!
Did he tell you?
What are you talking about?
Oh, Batman... Life can be funny.
Let me tell you something.
You are talking to the son
of the next president of the Republic of Mexico.
Are you high on something?
Coke, crystal meth? What is it this time?
You'll hear from me very soon.
All in due time, okay?
I'm going to tell you something, Ramiro.
I have people taking care of you, watching you closely.
One false move and you won't live to tell the tale.
See you later, boy.
Oh, Batman.
Life is full of surprises.
Very soon.
Please go with the driver and get all the medication she needs.
Thanks.
Thanks, Mexican.
You're a star.
Get some rest.
Come lie here beside me.
We haven't been like this since we were in jail.
Come on, give me a cigarette.
I only have mine,
and you're in no condition to smoke.
Nothing I do could worsen the way I look.
All right.
I swear, I really thought we could do it, Mexican.
And we did it. We got pretty far.
I don't mean that.
What, then?
We've left so many dead people along the way.
Don't think about Lupe.
Teo will make sure that the police leave you alone.
There were lots of drugs in your car.
You have changed, Mexican.
Why do you say that?
Hello?
Hi, Teresa, it's me. What happened to Paty?
I nearly had a heart attack when I went to see you at the hospital
and you weren't there.
I brought her to Málaga with me. She asked me to.
Do you want me to come over?
I'd like to be there, in case I can help in any way.
No, I don't think that's necessary.
Besides, Paty's resting. She's fine.
All right.
Well, call me if you need me, okay?
Thanks, Teo.
Do you know that Teo is having sex with other women?
I'll leave you with the presidential candidate for the Republic,
Mr. Antonio de las Casas!
I want to lead a government
that is sensitive to the demands
- of the communities! - The good part's coming.
What do you mean?
When the candidate comes down and everyone wants to touch him
as if he were the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Oh, of course.
In half an hour, you'll see how difficult it is to get everyone off.
We have to use brute force, you know, shoves and blows.
Well, thank you.
I really appreciate you inviting me
and teaching me all of this, because I had no idea.
I can't wait for the candidate to come down, so we can...
That's why I want to be the President of Mexico!
We're going to win!
Because we're not afraid of the political competition!
We know what political competition is.
But what we reject is political incompetence!
Long live Sinaloa!
Long live Epifanio!
Long live Mexico!
Even I used to sleep with Teo, right after he married Eugenia.
And I knew other women who did, too.
Do you think he has changed since he has been with you?
Honestly, I haven't even thought about it.
And to be honest, I don't care.
I see.
You were part of a dream that we built in prison;
the Count of Monte Cristo's treasure and Abbé Faria.
A dream of ours.
I have treasure hidden out there.
It's treasure that many have searched for but haven't found,
because those who hid it are all dead.
It sounds like a movie, right?
The treasure I told you about is money, and a lot of it.
The kind that generates more and more.
And does it have an owner?
- That's a good question. - No, that is the question.
I've already crashed a boat full of someone else's treasure.
You have lived a lot.
That's what I like. That's why I chose you.
But I didn't ask to be in that dream, Paty.
It was your decision to include me in it, not mine.
That's true.
Sometimes life bites back at you by granting your wishes.
But I didn't wish for anything.
Like everything in my life, I didn't choose.
I was pushed into it.
Then destiny showed up and I had to face it.
What about me?
When did everything change between us?
I don't know.
I don't know when, Paty.
I don't know when you stayed behind and adrift.
At some point, you turned into a bitch.
Thank you, people of Sinaloa!
We're going to win!
I carry you all in my heart!
Congratulations, Antonio. A great speech.
You don't need to come back here until you become the President.
Thanks to you, my campaign manager.
Now what shall we do?
Take a walk around, so the people can talk to you.
Get close to the people.
But just for half an hour.
- I want to return to the capital tonight. - Sure, as you wish.
Long live Antonio de las Casas!
If I heard a gate closing, I would swear we were back in prison.
Why do you talk so much about prison?
Because it's the only place where we were totally happy.
But what about now?
After all these years?
I've tried to give you everything you need.
I took care of your interests,
I risked my life for the both of us,
I did my job, and I think I did pretty well.
Why is that not enough for you?
- I was your friend. - You are my friend.
I was.
You don't mind leaving me behind.
You can't say that, Paty.
I won't allow you to.
I forgot I was next to the Queen of the South.
Look, Patricia...
I want you to tell me what I owe you.
Do you know what I think you're thinking?
That you gave too much, in exchange for too little.
I think you regret having told me about the treasure,
your secret.
That's it, right?
I could never blame you for anything,
but I know our paths will never cross again.
You can't be sure of that. Nobody can.
Not even I know where I'm going.
It's better if you don't,
because you might end up there.
My Lupe wasn't Lupe,
she was Verónica Cortés,
a DEA agent.
Based on the original work of Arturo Pérez-Reverte "La Reina Del Sur"
I swear I didn't know anything until a few days ago,
when I had the suspicion she dumped me because she was with another man,
and I followed her everywhere.
I know you.
You are Willy, the undercover DEA agent.
You're a cop.
And I had suspicions about you and Teo.
You were right, because I'm guilty.
I coaxed you.
I have to pay for my wrongdoing,
and here I am.
Paty,
- don't tell me that the car... - Yes, I did it on purpose.
But the intention was to kill myself,
but I ended up killing her.
What's left of me now isn't life, Mexican.
I swear, if you weren't so badly injured, I would beat you so hard...
It was so easy for her to infiltrate us,
because she was just like you.
She was right to reproach me for what she did,
and you know that, Mexican.
I fell for you the very first day I saw you in jail.
Welcome to my humble abode, Mexican.
From this moment onwards, we're cellmates.
Dig Nino up.
Where are you going?
I have to warn Oleg, these last few weeks have been crazy.
Flores was at my house.
Now I understand how he had so much information.
But they won't know anything from now on.
Lupe is dead, and I don't plan on returning to Transer Naga.
But it's not because of you, I'm not suspicious of you.
You don't trust me.
You and the Russian.
But I swear, Mexican,
I would never say anything that could possibly harm you.
Tell me you believe me.
Of course I believe you, Paty.
Before you go, I want to ask you something.
Yes.
Imagine it's your birthday...
and we're in jail,
just like a few years ago.
We're drunk...
and you hug me.
- Be careful. - Sorry.
I love you, Mexican.
And I love you too, my Abbé Faria.
I love you a lot.
You can't imagine how peaceful I feel hearing that, my Count of Monte Cristo.
Get some rest.
But don't wake me up, I want to sleep.
Okay.
Stop!
I saw Aljarafe leaving the DEA department.
He was getting inside information from my contact when I saw him leaving.
I've been following Teo Aljarafe, and I found out that...
he's having an affair.
Make sure he doesn't notice he's being followed.
When did he notice?
So long, old friend.
Put it back as it was.
Who do we need to get rid of?
The presidential candidate Antonio de las Casas.
Antonio! Antonio!
Don't worry about all these guys, we'll take them out if it's necessary.
We'll wait for him to get down from his princess' pedestal
and mix with the crowd.
That's when you'll come in.
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.
Call an ambulance!
Call a doctor!
Are you okay, buddy?
- Yes. - Good.
Call an ambulance!
Paty.
What have you done, Patricia?
Patricia.
Why did you do it?
You know what?
I'm also very tired...
and sometimes I feel like going to sleep, just like you...
but I can't just give up.
You know what?
You didn't even give me time to tell you that I'm pregnant.
You also left me alone.
Epifanio! Epifanio!
- Did you hear? - What?
- Do you know? - What?
It's horrible!
I do not know how far we'll get with such violence here in Mexico.
What are you talking about? What happened?
It's all over the TV channels.
He got hurt, and no one knows if he's dead or alive.
Who? What are you talking about?
- Turn the TV on. - Look.
The attack took place a few minutes ago in Culiacán, Sinaloa state,
when Mr. Antonio de las Casas greeted his followers.
All we know is that the man you can see in these images
shot him at close range in the head.
The killer was shot by one of the candidate's bodyguards.
This can't be, it's...
That's Ramiro! My God! What's he doing there?
You see, Epifanio?
Our boy is a hero.
Leave me alone, the President is calling me.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. President.
No, Mr. President.
I was with the candidate, de las Casas,
half an hour before this tragedy happened.
Yes, Mr. President.
Absolutely.
Of course, tomorrow morning I'll be in your office.
Mr. President, count on me for whatever you need.
Ramiro, it's me.
Where are you now?
They just confirmed.
She's dead.
O'Farrell committed suicide.
She slit her wrists.
This is national news.
I'm worried about what she might have told Teresa.
A person who is about to commit suicide...
is not afraid of anything, not even the truth.
Do you think she told her everything?
I don't just think it, I'm sure that Teresa Mendoza
already knows I'm in Spain.
Teresa.
I came right after speaking to Pote.
Honey, look at you, get up, please.
Honey, this is terrible, but...
drinking won't do you any good.
Believe me, it will.
If I'm still standing after so much bad news,
tequila won't do anything to me.
Nothing.
This is horrible, it's a tragedy.
We all loved Paty.
Why did it come to this?
Did she say anything before she died?
Did she confess something? Why did she do it?
Because Paty...
was tired of being who she was.
She couldn't take it anymore, and...
I don't know, the pressure was too much and she just couldn't take it.
Yes, but...
I don't know, did she... Did she mention anything about Lupe?
About the accident? She must have told you something.
What Paty told me...
is our business.
Honey, I'm not talking to you as Teo,
but as your lawyer,
and I'm thinking about what I'll say to the police.
Did Paty tell you anything that I should know about?
No, nothing.
She just...
wanted to sleep,
and she told me...
not to wake her up.
I believe that's why,
because she wanted to die in peace...
if one really can kill oneself in peace.
