A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
HER MOTHER'S KILLER: SEASON 2
There's a situation that our party is deeply concerned about.
It's taboo,
not only in Colombia, but across Latin America,
and it has to do with mental health.
The numbers show that, in Colombia alone,
-depression-- -Please, Mr. De la Torre,
don't be a hypocrite.
If mental health really is one of the banners of your…
plan for government,
why are you subjecting your ex-wife
to the stress of a presidential campaign?
I also can't help wondering
why you'd take an alcoholic,
in this case Juan Mario Mejía,
to political gatherings where alcohol is ever present.
Not to mention that your consultant
and fiancée, Analía Guerrero,
has made it clear to everyone with her latest scandals
that she needs to urgently seek professional help
to treat her past trauma and get back some sense of reality.
That is why, Mr. De la Torre, I would suggest
-that you use every-- -Mr. Rosales.
This strategy is a trademark move of your campaign and your party.
You manipulate the information to turn it into personal attacks.
-Sure. -This is a debate.
-We're talking about one person. -People are here for the debate.
Not for two people's lives.
I have my political life and my personal life.
They're one and the same. Colombia needs that.
-Gentlemen… -One transparent person.
Let's go back… Thank you.
Gentlemen, let's go back to the initial question.
Mr. Rosales, may I remind you this debate has rules and timed turns?
Mr. De la Torre still has some seconds to use.
Thank you, Nelson. What I propose
is based on a comprehensive study
that forces us to face reality.
-Sorry to interrupt. -Oh my God.
-I want to know… -Rosales.
…where he gets his information, please.
You'll find out. The information I have…
Rosales looks rather unprepared to me.
I'm not surprised. Your methods are…
rather basic, I want to say.
I can picture you saying,
'Destroy Pablito's life.'
Even that requires some cunning.
Just a bit.
I'd like to discuss an important topic like depression.
It's the taboo I mentioned before.
You're enjoying this. You're savoring it.
I like that.
Enjoy your 15 minutes, because life is short.
I think you'll agree with me.
…has increased.
But the question is, has the number of people with depression increased
or have mental health assessments improved instead…?
Otoniel, remember, speak up.
You must interrupt the debate. Say it loudly. Ready?
I don't want to go back to jail.
-Watch out for me, okay? -Don't worry, and don't be paranoid.
There are many people watching over you. It will be fine.
I'm leaving. I'll lock the door so no one bothers you.
Once it's over, I'll come for you.
-Okay? -I'll be waiting.
…we can't normalize suffering
nor any emotional turmoil because of mental instability.
That is why, in my plan, I propose to carry out assessments…
I know this is being broadcast live.
I'm here so everyone can hear my truth.
Protect Rosales.
Okay, okay.
If you want us to hear you out,
we have to see you to make sure
you're not a threat to the candidates, the audience on set
and, especially, to the studio staff.
So we'll give you the floor only if you show yourself.
Here, can you see me? Now do your part
and let the people hear what I've come to say.
Yes. Go ahead.
My name is Otoniel Vargas.
I admit I went to jail because of what I did.
I beat and hurt my wife, Dora Serna,
who was my partner back then.
It's Analía's friend Dora's ex-husband. It must have to do with her.
Anything that goes wrong surely has to do with Analía.
I did my time,
but being declared innocent and doing my time
wasn't enough for my ex-wife.
This guy's a piece of shit.
They attacked me…
Froggy will come off very badly from this.
-Why aren't you in there already? -It's locked.
Look, someone is trying to get in here.
Tell them to back off or else.
Otoniel, can you see me? Listen.
If you truly want to start over,
come down and turn yourself in, please.
You clearly need help.
Nothing you have said justifies what you're doing.
I beat my wife out of desperation, don't you get it?
This is Analía's fault.
I did what I did because of that evil woman.
It was your wife. That bitch left me no choice!
You and I know what you're saying is not true.
Can't you see?
What good does it do for De la Torre to talk about mental health
when under his own roof, his own wife, his own consultant
is suffering in that regard?
Hey, Rosales,
please watch what you're saying.
Don't sink so low as to mess with people right now.
I'm only telling the truth.
Here's what Analía did to me, look!
Look! She and that brute Toto tortured me for a whole night.
They wanted me to say Mr. Mejía ordered me to beat Dorita.
Cut the transmission right now. This can have serious consequences.
It's not up to me. Only the channel's CEO can give that order.
You are free to withdraw your candidate
if you believe his life is threatened.
But you can't expect the channel to cut the transmission
to protect the reputation of your boss' wife.
I think this circus is messing with your mind
and you'll end up getting your boss in serious trouble.
Stop making mistakes.
Your advice clearly hasn't been any good so far.
Tell the truth, Otoniel.
If you regret what you did, that is.
Tell us who is paying you to put on this show.
Nobody is paying me.
I'm not like you!
You're making me do this!
Look!
-Do you have eyes on the target? -Affirmative.
In position, awaiting orders.
Please, Otoniel, calm down.
Don't do anything crazy. Don't put your life on the line.
How can you defend her after everything she's done to you?
She doesn't deserve forgiveness!
Otoniel, calm down, breathe.
Put that thing down and listen to me.
She gets no forgiveness!
You disgust me.
You set this up, I just know it.
-How are you? -That son of a bitch.
It was him. He did this whole thing.
Guillermo!
Guillermo.
Come here, you son of a bitch.
Let me go. Let go!
-Pablo. Pablo. -You bastard.
You just won't stop destroying people's lives, huh?
But we'll unmask you and make you pay for everything you're doing.
Is that how you'd rule the country? With threats?
I doubt it.
Think about this one thing.
Sometimes, the right choices have the wrong results.
I really am sorry about what's happening to you.
But all actions have consequences. You messed with the wrong person.
You know why?
It's a tiny detail.
Every little thing you hate about me
is embedded in the genes
of the woman you sleep with, and you know it.
Let me go!
Bye now.
Okay, okay.
Oh, Rosales, Rosales, Rosales.
He can't even follow instructions.
No, he's useless.
We could lose the presidency.
We will win one way or another.
What do we do?
We'll change our presidential ticket.
Nuh-uh.
I don't see how we can screw him over.
We'll have to take him out.
Really?
We can't go planting the idea that everywhere I go,
I leave death in my wake.
But it's the only way to replace a vice president candidate
leading up to a runoff voting.
Unless…
he suffers from a permanent disability.
Exactly.
Something people will lament.
Leave it to me. You know I like a challenge.
Yes, I know. I can see it.
I'll tell you something.
With me as vice president,
Pablo's life will change radically.
It's one thing to shatter a Rosales to pieces,
and a very different one to face me.
Oh…
Let's celebrate.
We can't.
Come on.
Carolina will be here soon.
Okay.
In that case,
I'll leave so you can welcome her in peace.
Are you sure Analía will quit?
Mm-hmm.
Don't worry though.
I'm sure she'll find the best way to announce it
without affecting the campaign.
Well, if you think that's what's best for our party,
you have my support.
-I'm sorry, but I disagree. -Thanks.
I warned you about Analía hurting us, and now she's done it.
After all that's happened, she'll be your spokesperson?
Well, what do you suggest?
That we as a party make an official announcement.
If we do that,
it'd be like admitting to Guillermo and Rosales' false accusations.
That wouldn't affect just her, but us and our campaign as well.
And me as a candidate.
I won't play into Guillermo's hands.
Otoniel Vargas was killed by the same people who hired him,
and I don't think they want loose ends.
Do you want to die as well?
You don't believe me.
You said it yourself.
Okay, let's suppose
that you have the best of luck on your side
and they leave you be.
Dorita, this lady, will sue you.
You'll be thrown in jail. And I'll make sure you rot in there.
Come on! Talk!
What the hell?
You want to rot in jail? Because I'd love to see you die behind bars.
I'm no snitch and I won't say anything about a dead man.
Not a snitch, just stupid, to fool around like this.
That's what she is.
There's no way out of this.
I'm not here to ask. I'm here to lay out your options, that's all.
Tell me. What do you want from me?
This is Sebastián Casas and he has solid connections in the police.
He can help us.
So I'll present your choices
for you to get out of this as clean as possible,
and you will tell me absolutely everything.
Everything you did with Otoniel.
And then we'll see if we have a deal.
Got it?
If Otoniel didn't fire his gun, he was just bait.
That's right. There was another man who shot a gun.
They clearly knew the place to stand where they couldn't be seen.
What's more, they hacked the CCTV inside the building.
But we were able to locate some cameras that cover the exterior
and record independently.
This is our only clue so far.
But he didn't go in alone. Have you ID'd the other man?
Not yet. He was very careful not to show his face.
We haven't found fingerprints.
-Were they trying to kill me? -No. I don't think so.
-If they wanted to, they would have. -Exactly.
So there must have been another goal, but we don't know what it was.
Analía drove that man to his limit.
You're absolutely right. That woman is sick.
What I don't understand is why Pablo is with her.
Why expose himself and my daughter to that psychopath?
Hello.
Check the news. Analía is giving a statement.
What is it?
Why are you here? Were you summoned by the office?
No.
I'm here with a person who has information and proof
that Mr. Vargas was working for a powerful group
whose only goal is that De la Torre isn't elected president.
Who is this person? Can you tell us?
You've been entangled in many scandals lately.
Could that affect your fiancé Pablo De la Torre's campaign?
How do you feel about that?
The last thing I want is to hurt Pablo's campaign.
That is why I'm officially and publicly announcing that I'm stepping down
as his political strategist.
Can you see?
He's done for.
Many people were expecting you to quit.
This is an important announcement, and I have two questions.
Do you feel responsible for the death of Otoniel Vargas?
And if he was working for powerful people,
how do you explain that he risked his life like that?
I have a clear conscience.
And I will not let anyone use me to taint Pablo's good name.
To answer your question, yes.
I do believe Mr. Vargas was set up
and he probably didn't know he would lose his life.
Why do you think so? Do you have proof to back what you're saying now?
Mr. Vargas did not fire the gun he pointed at me.
The technical analysis and ballistics
showed that the weapon that was fired was not his.
The prosecutor's office is looking into this tirelessly,
so they'll probably get to the bottom of this soon.
Who fired the gun?
Will the office make a statement later?
We'll communicate our findings in due time.
I will not answer any more questions now.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Calm down, Guillermo.
What does that mean?
It wasn't his idea, and someone else sent that guy to kill Analía?
And that useless bastard couldn't do it.
What are you talking about? You knew they'd kill her?
Please, how can you think that?
Is everything okay, ma'am?
Last night I saw a new side of Guillermo and it stunned me.
He wasn't himself.
So full of rage.
Well, what can I say?
We all have bad days, right?
This wasn't just a bad day.
I saw that face many times when I was a little girl.
Enough of this shit!
Leave me alone already. I'm sick of your whining and nagging!
Well, I'm sick of you.
Sick of waiting for you to get your act together.
Shut your mouth and leave me alone.
And get the hell out of here before I beat you to a pulp.
Stop fighting.
Mom, stop nagging Dad.
Go to your room, Carolina. This…
This is between grown-ups.
I won't go anywhere until you stop fighting.
You see? That's on you!
Fucking hell!
Analía is pushing Guillermo to his limit.
His rage is blinding him, and he'll start making lots of mistakes.
The problem here is IQ.
That man should have let Dopey fire the gun.
He wouldn't have done it.
And if I hadn't, he would have been talking to police now.
What do you think will happen?
The office will look the other way and not look into it?
All right. Let's get past this and start making decisions.
What are we going to do about Analía? She's becoming a problem.
She's asking about Mariano's death.
I told you.
It's a serious issue of brainpower.
Now she only has to figure out you were the proestatuare.
A prostitute. It means 'prostitute.'
Leave us a moment, please.
May that be the last time you ever call me that.
-Is that a threat? -The last time.
For a guy like him?
If you want to kill me, go ahead.
-I'm here. -Oh, come on.
Oh, all right. Then focus on what matters.
We must attend Mariano's wake to check whether Analía
wants to get information from his widow.
Okay? Is that what you're wearing?
-I'm not in mourning. -Come on.
I promise Elvira I wouldn't say a word.
But if we prove Mariano was killed,
I have to report it.
She more than anyone will want justice
so that his husband's death doesn't go unpunished.
I'm sure of that.
She's planning something big, completely unrelated to vengeance.
-She wants something else. -Mm-hmm.
You know Guillermo is furious and resentful. That much is clear.
We took what he was after, the presidency.
And he'll do anything to show the country just how powerful he is.
He must be cooking up something else, something I haven't figured out.
Guillermo always has an agenda, no matter what he does.
-Mm-hmm. -Like Santiago's case.
The statements, his disappearance, Mariano's death. It's all connected.
Mm-hmm.
I haven't worked out what it is in order to stop him, it's…
Hey. Listen to me.
Analía, be careful.
You have no idea how I felt when I saw that guy pointing a gun at you.
You know it's true. Don't be jumping the gun, okay?
You're more important than any campaign, now and forever.
So, what are you planning to do?
To pluck up the courage again and leave him at the altar?
Remember you're not alone anymore. It's the two of you now.
Pablo is there. It's a drag, but you must think of your partner.
I'll do anything.
I'm sure my relationship with Pablo will have consequences too.
-Analía, look at me. -Hmm?
Tread very carefully. I mean it.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
These people have no love for you.
I'm not here to make friends.
Julián, when I return,
I will likely need to have a moment alone with Miss Peña, please.
Elvira.
I didn't make it to the ceremony,
but I'm here to say you can count on me for anything you need.
You're not welcome here. Mariano never cared for you.
You think you can show up anywhere because you're a politician,
but there's no room for you among us.
We both know that my husband's death hides something very dark.
And if I haven't said anything, it's just to keep his name clean.
-Thank you. -I'm sorry.
Thank you. Yes. Thank you.
It must be extremely hard to come to terms with your husband's vices.
And if you haven't said anything and kept quiet so far,
it's not because of him.
It's because you'd hate to be called out before your absurd and pathetic peers.
Elvira.
What happened?
Elvirita is dead.
She just doesn't know it yet.
Are you sure Rosales picked the perfect body double?
Yes, I oversaw the whole thing.
Don't worry about that now.
Let's focus on your vice presidency, okay?
Have you arranged the lunch meeting with the board?
Yes. Álamo will summon a meeting at the club, without Rosales knowing,
since you'll discuss
how we'll regroup and reorganize
after the embarrassing disgrace our candidate put us through.
You're amazing.
I'll make sure to mess with Rosales' mind tomorrow.
Do you realize?
What?
You and I are invincible.
I've always known that.
How are you, candidate?
How will you deal with and face your future wife's mental illness?
Was it the party members who demanded her dismissal or was it you?
You seem to be one of those people who do their job
without any regards to ethics.
Every question you ask
aims to confirm something without any grounds in reality.
Nobody asked Analía Guerrero to quit. In fact,
it was she who decided to step down so no one would manipulate her.
Now, a better question would be
whether all that's happening to Analía Guerrero,
right after Mejía comes out of jail, is mere coincidence.
Or is it linked to him?
I'd like us to take this chance to make peace.
We know exactly the kind of person you are.
I don't think this is the right moment to argue.
Rosario was as much our family as she was yours.
And we mourn her, too.
But this truce you suggest is just lip service.
Because all you are capable of is oozing poison.
It will be so nice when these motherfuckers
who see themselves as high-born and act superior get what they deserve.
Starting with this guy's mother.
It's time to put your friend Carolina to good use.
Get her to work with Pablo and stain that daddy's boy
by tainting his campaign with dirty money.
No, I'm not using Carolina.
Excuse me?
You're changing your mind?
Don't tell me you want to protect her.
-Are you jealous? -Oh…
Jealous of that dimwit hag?
No.
I'm just curious.
I want to use her for something bigger.
Trust me.
-Surprise. -You're drunk.
No, I'm not just drunk,
I'm also a fucking mess because of you.
What do I have to do with anything? Explain.
And to think I wanted to follow in your steps
and make you proud with my progress.
But you're just as rotten as Guillermo.
No, no. What's wrong with you? I said no.
How can you--? Hey, give me that. Fuck.
What's wrong, you ask?
I'm sick and tired of being the laughingstock.
Because of 'Don't you know who I am?'
It's your fault.
It's your fault, because you didn't have the guts to tell me the truth.
I didn't think it was necessary back then. Please, don't…
Shut up.
Stop lying. Aren't you tired of hurting me?
Aren't you supposed to be a brave, tough woman?
I only see a coward,
a phony,
who didn't dare tell me the truth when she had the chance.
Instead, you let Mejía tell me,
to really fuck me up.
And he did it.
He did it, thanks to you.
-You're a piece of shit. -Yes, I am. I'm a piece of shit.
-So? -Don't touch me!
So what? Does that justify this attitude of yours?
Huh? Letting your life go to hell because of that jerk
who wants to see you defeated like this?
Okay, stop. Stop talking. Stop pretending you care about me.
No, ma'am.
You don't give a fuck about me.
Especially now that I can't help you screw that son of a bitch.
That's not true.
You're very important to me, Juan.
You, me, all of this…
Who believes that?
Nobody does.
So, from now on,
you're dead to me.
I can't believe I looked up to you so much.
Hey, wait. Don't go like this.
-Where--? Calm down. -No.
No. Don't make me
-behave like him. -Like who?
-Like your father. -No, that jerk isn't my father.
He is not my father and you are nothing like him.
Because you're a good person.
Please, don't leave. Don't go, please.
Don't touch me!
Okay. All I ask is that you find it in you to forgive me.
You're my brother and I…
I love you, I respect you. I admire you.
-And my father-- -I know
where Mariano Ortega was staying on the day he died.
I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?
No, not at all.
Such good timing. In fact, you arrived right on time
so you two can keep making up bullshit to screw up my life.
I'm not part of this anymore. And you…
you're no longer my sister.
What got into him?
I did.
It's amazing how life wants me to pay
for the pain I caused all the people I've used.
You know the craziest part? Ever since I reunited with my siblings,
I've only managed to hurt them.
My life poses a threat, Fabiola. A threat to you, to me.
To everybody.
But whatever. We must keep going, right?
That is confidential information.
We must protect our guests' privacy.
All right, it's up to you if you want to cooperate with us
and tell us the truth, but if you won't,
expect to be served with a subpoena for you to make a statement.
And we will return with a search warrant to inspect the hotel in depth.
I don't think you'd want that, would you?
Do as you wish. I have nothing to hide.
To be honest, we know you offer sexual services on the premises.
Hmm?
If that gets leaked, they might shut down the hotel.
Your hotel's reputation could go down the shitter.
So, will you help us?
I need you to find the recordings
from Mariano Ortega's last visit.
Here's the dates and timestamps.
Right away, sir.
Hold on. That's Mariano.
Could you pause, please?
Can you zoom in?
He arrived on his own.
Keep playing the video, please.
There. Pause, please.
That's the woman we're looking for.
But her face is not clear. Look.
Are there recordings from other angles?
So we can get a better view of her.
-Let me check. -Okay.
There's this. Look.
What do you know about the woman who was with Mariano?
Was she a frequent guest here?
No, I'd never seen her before.
Mr. Ortega used to bring lady friends over.
But we had nothing to do with that.
Negative. She doesn't appear again.
But I found this.
According to the timestamp, this was at 3:00 AM.
Are you really drinking again? I can't believe this.
-Juan Mario, no. Not here. -No. Don't treat me like a child.
Have some respect.
You know what's unbelievable? That people keep treating me like a jerk
and that everyone has always walked all over me.
What do you mean? Who walked over you?
Your sister, Analía,
set me up and hired a prostitute to record us on video
and expose me as a jackass on social media.
What?
You're saying that video was Analía setting you up?
No, not just Analía. Can you believe she has an accomplice,
a moron, who looks the part, but isn't really. I mean your boyfriend.
He made the video go viral so everybody could see me
like the moron I am.
Are you sure about this?
Of course. Your dad gave me the proof.
That's probably the only thing I will ever thank him for.
You can't trust anyone in life. Everyone is a piece of shit.
Look, I don't know if my dad is innocent or not.
But this confirms that Analía may have influenced us
to make us hate him.
Hold on, make no mistake about it.
He's definitely earned all of the hatred we have for him.
I should say the same to you.
Analía has walked all over us just to destroy that man.
You almost took your life. Can't you remember?
Yesterday, a man lost his life because of her, and today…
I don't even know if Benji really loves me or not.
What now? Are we going to keep helping her, believing every word she says?
Look.
You may not want to keep justifying that guy and all his fuck-ups.
But that's your problem. If you don't want to see it, that's on you.
It's fine. But he killed my mother,
who's your mother too.
Analía is a piece of shit and whatever.
But as far as I know, she's no murderer.
To be a murderer, you don't have to pull the trigger.
There are many ways to kill. Look at you, for instance.
-What's up? -Hey. Did you learn anything?
I need you to hack into the company that handles security
for the Democratic Force party.
I want to know who was assigned to Ortega on the day he died.
What are you looking for exactly?
I don't know. I'm not sure yet, but…
There's something odd about the video of Mariano leaving the hotel.
I could try to access the hotel's computer system.
Yes, okay. Do it.
And please hack into the account of… Martínez's account.
-Find out what he has on Otoniel. -Okay.
-Listen… -Yes?
Have you talked to Sofía?
Not since this morning.
Is something wrong?
Juan Mario found out I set him up for the video with the prostitute.
So… Yeah.
I guess Sofía also knows by now.
Look, this is the video that the hotel manager
showed to your daughter.
See? That's one less problem.
Hmm. Not too fast.
Analía is always hot on our trail.
I honestly don't understand why you insist on keeping her alive. Hmm?
We're spending money, effort, energy that should go into Rosales
so he gets elected president
-and you get-- -To rule this country as it should be.
As for Analía,
I gave her life.
I'll decide when I take it back.
Is that clear?
Yes or no?
Sorry to interrupt. Your daughter Sofía is waiting for you in the lounge.
Hmm.
You have no idea how happy I am to have you here.
Come.
Sit.
What a surprise, huh.
Um…
I'm here because it's only fair to acknowledge when you're right.
Analía has hurt us too.
You've realized. I'm glad.
I hope your brothers see the truth too.
That won't happen if you keep doing things your way.
You know how much you hurt Juan Mario by telling him that.
You didn't have to give him a blow like that. Seriously.
I only told him the truth. Isn't it what you always ask of me?
Yes, but that truth made him fall apart.
He's drinking again.
And I…
I'm not okay. Honestly.
Do you really not see that everything you do affects us?
I am really sorry.
That was never my intention.
I just want to win back my children's affection.
And I want you to realize just who Analía Guerrero truly is.
That's all.
If you truly want to get close to us, I'm willing to help.
But I have my conditions.
Like your brother says, you can count on me.
You have the emotional intelligence
that I honestly lack most times.
I promise I'll do anything you say. I will listen to you.
Can I get a hug?
