A NETFLIX SERIES
HER MOTHER'S KILLER, SEASON 2
You know I love you.
I don't want to lose you again.
-I'm going to help you. -How will you help me?
What will you do that others or the authorities
haven’t already tried, and that'll make a difference? Tell me.
-Are you going to do it? -Yes.
And I’m not going to let anything…
or anyone interfere.
Not even the chance of a life with me?
Thank you.
I love Pablo. I love him…
I really love him, I do.
But I won't change,
for him or anybody, until justice is done.
First, you need to figure out who we can win over as allies.
Who are the people who don't like Analía?
Madga is a smart woman,
well-prepared,
but she has a weakness.
She's defensive.
She feels like she's lived in a world
where men have always had privileges.
So you’ve got to win her over through her ego,
make her feel like she's someone to look up to.
-Hello. -Hello.
I want to inform you that Sofía Mejía
has decided not to work with us anymore for personal reasons.
And I want us to welcome Carolina Valencia
who will take care of all platforms and public relations.
Thank you, Pablo.
Well, to those who know me and to those who don’t,
I want to say that I’m happy to be here, but especially to work with you all.
-Welcome. -Carolina can help you
with securing the contributions, just like Sofía used to.
But it’s still your responsibility.
Okay, perfect.
-Okay. -Welcome.
Thanks.
Okay, so,
are we done with the announcements?
Okay, let's get to the point.
As you all know,
the first big debate is coming up.
Although we have little time to prepare,
I trust our team will rise to the occasion.
Give me a hand with the slides.
According to our most recent polls,
these are the topics of greatest interest to the voters.
Education, health, and economy. Hm?
I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I did some research and I have a few questions
that have become trending topics on social media.
Okay, what are they?
"Will the corrupt be punished?
Will young people have access to education and job opportunities?
Will there be a balance in tax reforms
that benefit those in need?"
Okay, good, thanks.
As you can see in the documents you have, um…
They're included in the agendas we've been working on.
This means we're in tune
with the needs of the people. Right?
Show us the slides from the Democratic Force party.
In reality, Rosales doesn't bring any new proposals.
It's more of the same.
So,
considering all the recent scandals they've had,
it's not worth voting for them.
Wait a minute. The thing is, we can’t build our proposal
on the failures of past parties,
and definitely not on the issues the opposition party is facing now.
That would put us on the same level as they are.
We need to stand out in how we debate.
Yes, I completely agree with you.
If you let me finish my thought,
I think you'll see where I'm going with this.
The idea is for people to feel that you know their problems
and connect with their needs.
And it all should be backed by a consistent approach. Got it?
So, it’s about telling people
that there isn’t just one answer. Okay?
Instead, they’ll choose the best option
from all the possibilities
to find a real solution
to the problems they’re facing right now.
I completely agree with you on that. Is that clear, Magda?
Yes, perfect.
As you can see, we have a lot of work to do.
Everyone knows what to do, so let’s get to work.
Thanks.
Hey.
I reacted too quickly. I didn't know where you were headed.
But I want to apologize…
Because you thought I’d give you a lowball offer?
Look, I know you doubt my methods and the decisions I make,
but don’t question my work again.
No, I need a little more time.
I need to prepare for this debate.
I don’t get why they made that decision out of the blue,
without asking me.
In everyday life, some things can wait, but in politics, nothing can.
No, I get that.
But I don't want to make a mistake under pressure.
Take it easy, that's what we're here for.
We'll make sure everything goes well.
We have…
PREGNANCY, MENTAL HEALTH, EDUCATION
…the topics that Mr. De la Torre will propose.
How did you get that info?
Asking the wrong question has been forever an art,
and you're a champion at it.
What really matters is that you’re going into that debate
armed with data that will give you an advantage.
Plus, it’ll give you the confidence you need.
What’s truly important goes beyond the topics.
It’s about pushing Mr. De la Torre to his limits.
Which isn’t easy because he doesn’t get easily provoked.
He always gives the politically correct answers.
Okay, so how do you expect me
to throw him off balance
if he plans to focus all his answers on political and social issues?
Honestly, I don’t understand how you became a presidential candidate.
Really?
I don't know what Mariano sees in you,
because I don't see it.
That’s exactly what he didn’t see in you. And you got him out of the way.
Hold on.
Take it easy, okay?
Actually, Guillermo is a shrewd politician.
He can mix political answers
with personal ones
to take a jab at his opponent
at just the right moment.
The problem is that Guillermo is very skilled at this,
and thinks everyone can do it.
I know you'll make it.
You'll make it.
That's what we're here for, to show you how to get there.
Have a seat.
Hi.
-Hi. -How are you? Do you have two minutes?
Yes, sure.
I’ve been looking over the campaign,
and I think we need to focus on your image.
By highlighting the hardworking, capable woman you are.
Colombians should feel like the best choice
is the Pablo-Magda team.
Excuse me for saying it,
but the truth is I’ve always admired you.
I think very few women in this sexist country
have managed to reach such an important political position
like yours.
Yes. It hasn’t been easy.
Do you have a moment to chat?
I have a meeting right now,
but we can talk whenever you want.
Count on me for whatever you need. I love the idea.
I'll talk to your secretary and find a slot in your schedule.
-Yes, let's talk. -Wonderful.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Not very well, really.
Because of Sofía?
What can I say? I'm worried.
I'm worried because I feel like she's wasting her life.
She's not doing well, and now she wants to quit the campaign.
Strange, she didn't call me to ask.
I bet it's because she knew I'd ask her not to do it.
That's because she's not well. She hasn't gotten over her mother's death.
Plus, she feels guilty because she didn't believe her
at the moment when, in theory, she should have,
and I feel that she's afraid history will repeat itself with Mejía.
She needs to understand that the only one to blame is Mejía.
Honestly, I’m worried that guy is probably harassing her, stalking her,
and messing with her head.
Juan, we can’t let him keep bothering her, no matter what.
And just a reminder, sis,
our parents really messed us up.
So it's going to be tough.
Remember what happened to me.
I'm tired of your weakness.
That's why you'll stay locked in here
until you become a man,
master of your life,
and not the dumbass you are.
All you care about is that I stick to the plan you suggested,
which, by the way, I won't follow.
Why not?
I don’t want to be stuck between you two anymore.
Don’t you see we need to get rid of him?
Sadly, I have to let go of you too.
Why would you say that to me? I've always supported you,
I've always been by your side.
I don't know, at the end of the day, I don't think Analía
did too badly.
What do you mean?
She had a loving mom who made her feel like she was the center of her life,
something we didn’t experience.
Look, I know our mom was wonderful to us,
she adored us and everything you want. I’ll always cherish her, too.
But I don’t know if it was out of comfort, fear, or what,
but she couldn't protect herself, and she couldn’t protect us
from that beast, Mejía.
Juan, now we look out for each other, okay?
I have a couple of things to do here in Spain,
but I plan to go back to Colombia and support you with all this.
You're not alone.
Well said, girl.
-Okay, I'll see you soon. -Keep me posted.
Analía!
Tell me.
I wanted to thank you for supporting me
working here with you all.
-You don't have to thank me. -Of course I do.
You're being very generous.
I realize I treated you badly, but…
I also know it’s time to turn things around.
It's just a matter of doing things right. For Helena, for Pablo, for yourself.
Especially for yourself.
That's what I'm doing.
The thing is, I don’t want to cause any awkwardness
between you two, you know?
I mean, earlier in the meeting,
I noticed things felt a bit tense, like…
And that’s how it always was
when I was around, and I really don’t want to bother you.
No, we were simply working.
You have nothing to worry about.
Pablo and I know how to keep our personal lives separate from work.
So don’t worry, you can relax.
Oh, thank you. You’re lifting a huge weight off my shoulders.
Thank you so much.
All right, excuse me.
We need to have everything ready for debate day,
know exactly where the venues are, and figure out the best seating.
Mm-hm. Melgarejo already has the layout of the place.
Hi, how are you?
Fine, I miss you.
Me too.
If I wasn't in the middle of a meeting,
I’d tell you to meet up right now.
See? Now you’re not the only one thinking about work.
I’m calling because I’m a bit concerned about the topics I gave you.
Why is that?
I'd like to know what you're going to do with that information.
Remember, we have an agreement.
We’re going to take down Analía, but without laying a finger on Pablo.
I know what our agreement is.
But you have to understand
that sometimes there will be collateral damage for Pablo.
Nothing major that would stop him
from reaching the presidency or affect his candidacy.
But yes,
there will be things that will discredit Analía in front of him, right?
You understand.
Okay, it makes sense.
Besides, I think it’s a good time
because their relationship isn’t going well.
Did something specific happen?
No, nothing in particular.
I just think they have a lot of differences in the campaign,
and that could affect their relationship at some point.
Okay, even better.
The more isolated Analía gets, the better it is for us.
Hey, it was nice to hear from you.
Even if it’s just for work-related reasons.
If you finish up quickly, call me, and maybe we can try to meet.
If I don’t finish too late, I can’t think of anything better.
I send you a kiss.
"I can't think of anything better."
No?
Sir.
Come in.
He's tied up.
Untie him.
Otoniel is trustworthy.
Right, Otoniel?
-Yes, sir. -Untie him.
Look at what they did to me.
They almost killed me.
But I didn’t say a word, I acted like a man.
-A man. -Pau.
Sir, don’t let them do anything to me, and I’ll do whatever you say.
That's nice to hear.
You'll like what I'm going to ask you.
Hey, did they beat the shit out of you or is it the light?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
With what I'm about to ask you, you'll get back at Toto and Analía,
who was the one that really wanted you beat up.
What do we have to do?
It's easy. Listen closely.
In a moment, the first debate will begin
between the candidates who made it to the runoff
and are competing for the presidency of Colombia.
Pablo de la Torre and Jaime Rosales, who are already at the venue.
Pablo!
Miss, you represent the beauty
and strength of Colombian women.
I'm sure you'll be an excellent first lady.
The candidate from the Union and Renovation Party,
Pablo de la Torre, is arriving,
accompanied by his advisor and fiancée, the controversial Analía Guerrero.
Pablo! Pablo!…
-Thanks for the compliments. -Thanks for the support.
Pablo! Pablo!…
Thank you. Hi, how are you doing?
-Counselor. -Sir.
How are you, sir? Doing good?
Very well, sir.
Gentlemen, it's an honor to have you here.
We'll start in a few minutes.
I'm going to take one last look to make sure everything is ready
for the live broadcast.
-Perfect, thanks. -Go, take it easy. Thanks.
Are you ready to put up a fight, sir?
Let's hope to have a respectful debate.
That's what we're all hoping, Mr. De la Torre.
Wow.
I never imagined you were such a devoted admirer
of candidate Rosales.
Coming here in person for the debate is great.
Good morning, how are you?
How's everything? Well, I'm so glad…
Now, it's a good move.
It was a smart move to have you appointed as the campaign advisor.
Darling, how are you doing?
I could swear to you…
I had nothing to do with this appointment.
It's Mr. Rosales' decision.
Yes, sure.
I'm not going to keep playing your games.
But just so you know,
keep an eye out. What's coming is going to be good.
-Hm. -Really good.
Your optimism amazes me.
Well, my dear friend José would be so proud
of what you've become.
It’s truly a pleasure to see you again, Pablo.
I'm sorry I can't say the same, Guillermo.
Mr. Mejía is a crucial pillar in our party.
He's a man who doesn't impose anything.
But his ideas are very well received.
-Thanks, Jaime. -If I were you, Rosales,
I'd think twice before accepting advice from this gentleman.
You know, I could say the same to you.
Be careful with the advice you take.
Excuse me?
I'm talking about your advisor, Analía Guerrero,
who has some rather questionable methods.
All right. Well, I think my methods fall short of yours.
I still don’t think this is the right time or place to discuss this,
because we all know I’m the best at what I do.
Right?
Gentlemen, I invite you to head to the set.
The moderator is ready, and we’ll start in five minutes.
Good luck, gentlemen.
-Anyway. Good luck. -Excuse me.
Go ahead.
As you can see, the dynamic is pretty simple.
The questions and topics have already been sent by our experts,
-so we shouldn't have any issues. -Yes, excuse me, but we were supposed
to have sent some topics to discuss as candidates.
What happened? Did you get them or not consider them?
Yes, Mr. Rosales, we certainly received your questions,
but you must know that the station sends these topics to some consultants.
They choose, prepare,
and add a few questions that are important for the general public.
It has to be this way. It's important for people to assess
our ability to handle questions beyond the scope of our program.
Yes, exactly.
Is there any issue with that?
No, no.
Politics, like life, right?
You always have to be ready
for the unexpected.
Okay. Excuse me, I'm being told we're about to start. Excuse me.
Go ahead.
How is Sofi?
Your dad turned her life upside down again.
Be patient with him.
It's not easy dealing with this gem of a dad.
Yes, but if Sofía wants to move forward,
she can't stay tied to your dad's past.
Hm. Good luck with that, pal.
Wasn't Mejía supposed to have everything organized?
Why did we study?
Why did he have those questions on his phone?
"I've got all the answers!"
Don't worry, it's all under control.
All you have to do is the same thing you did with the party
when you convinced us that you were the perfect presidential candidate, right?
And remember, regardless of the question,
answer with the ideas you’re absolutely clear about.
I’m counting on you. I know you’ll do great. Let’s go.
-Good luck to you. -Thanks.
Aha. Good luck, sir.
I don’t know why, but your candidate has been nervous
ever since they talked about changing the topics.
Could it be that you received
our questions in advance?
Could be, right?
Your imagination is amazing.
It makes you see things that aren't there.
You could try writing stories.
Thank you.
I hope you’re not planning to pull
that circus act you love so much today.
Let the debate shine. Okay?
Honestly, that habit you’ve picked up
of playing the victim in front of the media…
I'm telling you, you're making your party look like a third-rate option.
Sweetheart, instead of lecturing everyone,
you should be grateful for the amazing dad you have.
That's nice.
I love how all they ever try to do
is make people think I have emotional problems, but oh well.
The only one acting strangely here,
whose mind is slipping, is you.
Because, you know, to have so much admiration
and respect for someone who’s eventually going back to jail.
I know that with time you’ll realize the mistake you’ve made
and you’ll apologize to me.
In time, people will just realize
who we all really are.
You, especially.
I'll leave you to continue your act. I have work to do.
Come here.
They are convinced that their only problem is this debate.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Sure.
Did Analía get involved in your marriage?
Honestly, Pablo always told me no.
Mm-hm.
At that moment, I was so caught up in everything
that I thought it was best to believe him.
The truth is that they've had a special connection since they were kids.
It's as if Pablo has always been obsessed with Analía.
Hm.
You dislike her, right?
No, we have serious differences in how we do things.
And I’m worried that Analía
might ruin Pablo’s chances of becoming president.
-Hm. I hope not. -Hm.
Yes, because Pablo is the man this country needs.
Welcome to the Big Debate.
The first to enter will be the candidate from the Democratic Force Party,
Mr. Jaime Rosales.
Thanks, Nelson.
Thank you all for coming.
Let's welcome the second candidate
from the Union and Renovation Party,
Mr. Pablo de la Torre.
Thank you, Nelson, for the invitation, and thank you all.
I see many young people here. Thank you very much.
A special greeting
to those who are currently connected to the broadcast
and on various platforms
and of course, a big round of applause
for the audience here with us live.
Before we begin, let’s quickly go over
how the format of this debate will work.
Each candidate will draw a question at random,
and both will have one minute and thirty seconds to respond.
-The first to respond… -Hey, Otoniel, I need you to stay calm.
You know what we need to do in there, so just relax, man.
If those people aren't stupid and realize it isn't…
Those people won't notice anything.
Just relax, relax. When we're in there, I'll take care of everything.
Here, put on these gloves and think about the money you're going to make.
-It's worth running the risk, right? -Yes.
-All good. -Relax.
-Here, come on. -Let's go.
Mr. De la Torre,
this segment will cover…
PRESS, MEDIA EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT
…education and opportunities for young people.
Bull.
Colombia ranks seventh in teenage pregnancy in Latin America.
How do you plan to address this issue, candidate De la Torre?
This question hits close to home for me
because I have a teenage daughter who constantly makes me think
about the adolescents in our country.
-Our plan… -Pablo is amazing.
He loves your daughter like his own.
And that’s after you declared that he wasn't the father.
I remember that interview well.
You told me that the girl isn’t Mr. De la Torre’s daughter.
I don't want to justify my infidelity.
But…
I made this mistake because of Pablo's abuse.
And then… I got married.
I was really scared to tell him because I didn't know how he would react.
He didn’t care what the country thought.
He just wanted to continue being Helena's dad
and look out for her well-being.
I’ll never forgive myself for all the pain I caused Pablo.
And I also don't know how to thank him for all the love he has for my daughter,
and how good he was to me despite everything.
I'm convinced that if we give them the right tools,
women will be able to make decisions
and create a better future.
Thank you, De la Torre. Mr. Rosales, it’s your turn.
Thanks.
You’ve overlooked something fundamental, sir.
And that’s the importance of a solid family structure.
Maybe that’s because you don’t have one, sir.
Mr. Rosales, that comment isn’t relevant…
Mr. De la Torre, I remind you that it’s Mr. Rosales’s turn, please.
Thank you.
And of course it’s relevant, sir.
Nothing is more important than the strength of the home.
Mom and Dad raising their kids together,
educating them,
Instilling the best values.
Values our young people will need
to make important decisions in their lives.
And one of the most responsible ideas
to prevent unwanted pregnancies
is the 100% effective method.
Abstinence.
Please,
I urge the audience to remain calm.
Sir, you still have a few seconds
if you'd like to elaborate on your idea.
Of course I do, thank you.
Studies have shown
that 80% of adolescents worldwide
who abstain from having sexual relations before marriage
have entered better universities.
Sir, I’m sorry, but I’d like to exercise my right to respond.
Please.
Mr. Rosales, where do you get those figures?
What is your source?
What are the implications? Which studies?
They don’t relate to our reality. Please tell us about that.
Sure…
At the moment, I can’t recall the source of this information,
but I can assure you that these are very important studies.
Look, the National Statistical Department…
They're from the best universities worldwide.
Sorry, but those sound like foreign studies, Mr. Rosales,
which are very far from our context.
-Look… -Rosales is slipping up.
They show…
I honestly thought he… or they…
had our data, our topics,
but to be frank, given Rosales' slip-up, I doubt it.
Besides…
Mejía would never have allowed a figure to be made up.
-We were at the station. -We'll search you.
Of course, sir.
-What are you doing here? -We brought equipment.
It's a restricted area. You can't be here.
-Oh! Which way should we go? -Follow me, I'll show you.
Our public policies
must be inclusive,
for everyone.
Good, Pablo.
Good one, man!
Awesome!
Pablo, Pablo!
Pablo for president! Pablo for president!…
With this, we conclude the first part of the Big Debate.
We'll be right back.
Are you settled in?
Okay, I'll let you know when to bring in Dopey.
Hey, Mejía.
Leave Sofía alone, stop screwing up her damn life!
I have no idea what you're saying.
Come here.
How about we take this chance, and you let me show you
how sorry I am for treating you so badly?
Because I know I did.
Quit the act. You don’t even believe that yourself.
You're not capable of feeling anything good for anyone.
All you have to offer the world is shit.
You sound just like Analía.
By the way, you're completely wrong about her.
And that's your best attempt at an apology?
You're always blaming someone else.
That's just like you, Mejía. But you know what?
The hatred and contempt I have for you,
you earned every bit of it.
Analía has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Unbelievable.
She was the one who ruined your life.
She subjected you to public humiliation.
-But I'm the bad guy. -What will you come up with now?
I'm not making anything up, I'm telling the truth.
She hired that whore, got you drunk and recorded that video.
And then asked…
Benji to upload it on social media.
Now, I won't ask you to believe me.
If you trust her so much, ask her.
I doubt she'll tell you the truth.
But I can actually prove that what I'm saying is true.
Whenever you're ready.
I’ve told Pablo that I’m worried about Guillermo
and what he’s capable of doing
to prevent him from becoming president.
It's understandable that you're worried. As long as that monster is out there,
-our children are in danger. -Hm.
You need to calm down
-and regain control. -No!
Don't throw a tantrum, acting like a child.
Didn’t I tell you I needed more time? I look like an idiot over there.
Because that’s what you are, you idiot. What do you want more time for?
Huh? To screw up some more?
Huh?
From now on, you'll do exactly what I tell you.
You won't skip a fucking comma.
This guy won't let himself be messed with. If I bring up--
Enough! Enough!
Make sure nobody comes in.
No one will remember the first part of this debate,
and you'll come out just fine.
Just… do… what I say.
You’re absolutely right about how to approach the topics.
You're the best.
Congratulations.
You're doing great. If you keep it up, this debate is ours.
-Thank you. -Congratulations to you too.
I must admit your strategy is working.
Thanks.
I'm amazed by your ability to find the enemy's weak points
to take them down. Congratulations.
There are no enemies here, honestly. What we have are opponents.
Right? It’s a fair fight.
-Did you see the numbers? Look. -Yes.
Look.
Ah.
Are you sure we'll get out of this alive?
Relax, man.
Otoniel, everything is calculated.
Relax.
Do you think Mejía is going to let himself get caught?
He knows that if we fall, he falls too.
Tell me now if you can't do it then.
Let's do it.
I'll do what Mr. Mejía told me to, and may the Virgin protect me. Let's go.
Are you advocating for Mejía?
You're so stupid.
Hm. Strong words coming from someone
who's leaving evidence of everything she does around here.
I know you helped Santiago escape.
Prove it.
You can't prove what you're saying.
Are you sure?
Who's stupid now? That's the question.
It's a great question.
I know you tried to involve me in Herrera's death.
Ah…
You see? You saw how I’m right on your heels?
Santiago is dead, right? Well, I think he is, I don't know.
The thing is, I haven't been able to figure out if he died because of you
or because of the illness.
And you'll be left with that doubt.
Because you'll never know what happened to that puppet.
Hm. So you had him silenced.
I see.
I'm going to get to the bottom of Santiago and Mariano Ortega's death.
Well, as far as I know,
Mariano Ortega died of a heart attack at home.
Among other reasons.
Whose idea was it
to hire a prostitute to kill him? Oh.
Nice. Yours or Guillermo's?
-Guillermo, or you. -Oh, my.
You see?
Now we're talking.
Don't underestimate me.
No. Take it easy.
You're the only one underestimating here.
-Am I? -And I want you to be clear
that nothing you do against Guillermo is going to work.
Keep playing detective like you've been doing.
Your work with Otoniel Vargas was pretty mediocre.
No way! Guillermo, what are you going to do with him?
I handed the truth to you on a silver platter.
Didn't I?
Curiosity can be dangerous
-if you don't control it. -Hm.
And I would never spoil the surprise for Guillermo.
But he'll find out soon.
Otoniel won't show up.
Mejía has got him. Increase her security.
We won't be caught off guard again.
Froggy, don’t worry, I have that old lady kept in a safe place.
Relax, I'll take care of it.
One second.
Froggy, listen to me.
Don't give Mejía any power, please.
He can't take away the peace and happiness
you have with Pablo right now.
It's much more complicated than that.
Don't you think I know that?
But please don't leave Pablo right now. He needs you so much.
Don't abandon him to his fate.
Look, that's the last thing I want. It's the truth.
But I must do it. If I stay by his side, he'll lose the presidency.
Hey, let's talk later, okay?
Colombia is one of the countries in Latin America
that has invested the most in the healthcare sector.
-But ironically… -I think it's good here.
…half of the population does not have access to these healthcare systems.
We need a healthcare system that efficiently covers everyone.
That’s why…
We can see everything.
At least it’ll be hard for him to catch us here, right?
Of course.
Everything is calculated. Stay calm.
Now we just wait for the boss's orders.
Healthcare in Colombia requires a comprehensive system.
We, unlike my opponent…
