A NETFLIX SERIES
HER MOTHER'S KILLER, SEASON 2
You're a warrior.
And that's why…
you need to be very strong.
For your son.
Rosales destroyed his life. Do you know what the doctor said?
That he would never recover.
Guillermo, he'll be in a wheelchair
for the rest of his life.
Pedro will never be the same.
What you're living through is too painful.
And I do understand you.
When I lost Rosario, I lost half of my life.
Well…
at least you have someone to blame.
-It must've been awful. -Very.
Listen to me, Lucía.
It's in these situations
when we need to remain calm,
keep a cool head and not be consumed by emotions.
That's why I…
dare…
ask you a difficult favor,
but a necessary one.
Sure, tell me.
Deny the altercation between Jaime and Pedro.
Why should I do that?
Because if you confirm that quarrel,
it'll be impossible for us to win the presidency.
That's good.
My son and I want him to lose.
Allowing him to win is like rewarding him for what he did.
At first glance, it is.
But I'm asking you to think about your future and your son's,
who's still very young and hot-headed.
Let's face it, Lucía,
Pedro's condition won't allow him to work.
That's why you need to trust me.
The most important thing now is that you, Pedro, and your son, have all you need,
and I'll personally take care of that.
But it'll only work if you listen to me.
How did they find out about Pedro's condition
and the impasse with Jaime?
Do we have a mole here?
No, I don't think so.
It happened at the club.
There were some people around, that's all.
We asked you to be calm,
and you didn't listen.
There was no way of knowing it would end up in tragedy.
Your recklessness is getting very expensive.
You're throwing everybody's work down the drain.
-Yes! And you are-- -Wait a minute.
This is no time for blame games, far from it.
We need to calm down…
and think of who could replace Pedro.
And the most important, how are we going to refute that fight?
There's Guillermo. Hold on.
Good morning.
The truth is I wasn't expecting to make a statement today,
but since you're here,
I'm willing to answer all your questions.
What about the fight
between Mr. Rosales and Mr. Álamo before the attack?
Just don't spread fake news
without corroborating the source,
because we're dealing with one man's health
and another man's reputation.
And it would be highly irresponsible to blame Mr. Rosales
for Mr. Pedro Álamo's accident.
It's not baseless rumors, Mr. Mejía.
There are witnesses who saw them arguing.
You never cease to amaze me.
It's remarkable.
You move from showbiz gossip to investigation cases,
and when it's convenient, to being a reporter.
All this is according to what the party dictates,
Pablo de la Torre's party through Analía Guerrero, right?
Thank you so much, sir, for following my career,
but you're wrong.
Mr. Pablo de la Torre doesn't need to buy journalists.
And I'm absolutely sure
that the Colombians know the kind of journalist I've always been.
Why don't you answer the question, please?
Well…
That fool doesn't forgive Guillermo for not falling for her.
Paulina, a scorned woman is very dangerous.
I don't know where you got that from, because I can assure you
it's not true.
Here, next to me is Ms. Lucía de Álamo,
Pedro Álamo's wife.
If you don't believe me, she can confirm the information.
Ms. Lucía, is it true what he's saying?
It is.
Mr. Mejía is telling the truth.
My husband's health crisis was spontaneous,
and Mr. Rosales has nothing to do
with this situation.
As a family, we're going through some difficult times,
so we ask you to respect our privacy
and refrain from speculating,
which would only…
make this moment even more difficult.
There it is.
Guillermo's just saved you.
That's how politics works, man.
Mr. Mejía, who will replace Pedro Álamo,
considering that he's been declared permanently incapacitated?
First of all, I find it… disrespectful
to say that he's permanently incapacitated.
Doctors are still studying that,
and we expect the best.
Second, that news is not for me to tell.
If I'm here today, it's because of the friendship
I share with Pedro and his family.
Finally, I ask you from the bottom of my heart
to not fall in with Mr. Rosales' adversaries' dirty games,
that only seek to tarnish his image.
I wish you a wonderful day.
Guillermo's morality.
We know he has no scruples when it comes to lying.
Is Analía connected to that fight?
Not at all.
I ask because you seem to forget that the latest scandals
-have been because of her. -I don't forget anything,
especially that we're in the run-off thanks to her.
And Guillermo will do anything to make us lose.
So please, Magda, let's join forces
and forget our differences for a while.
I know you're a serious and professional woman,
have been and will be, right?
Of course.
I've been thinking about it thoroughly,
and I think our best choice is…
Guillermo.
He's really good at handling the masses
and has unconditional followers.
What worries me
is the group of voters
who still connects him to the atrocities
he was accused of.
What do you think, Paulina?
Guillermo proved his innocence,
he's doing better in every survey,
he's a monster with the media,
and, honestly, has a strength that many politicians lack.
I don't see a better option than him.
Guillermo, Lucía, thank you for your statement.
Lucía,
I'm so sorry for everything,
and I appreciate your discretion.
I didn't do it for you.
If you'd like to thank anyone, thank Guillermo.
He made me realize that my husband wouldn't have wanted
to make this animosity public.
Guillermo, you know that Pedro would've never done anything
that might harm the party.
Please, excuse us for interrupting.
Lucía and I would like to have a moment with the president
in his office, if we may.
Yes, of course.
Lucía, can you wait in my office, please?
We need to discuss something with Guillermo,
since we're all here.
It won't take long, I promise.
No problem.
Thanks.
Please, Guillermo.
I'll be frank with you.
We were discussing who could be the best replacement for Pedro,
and your name came up.
Are you serious? Because…
well, this takes me by surprise.
Since Guillermo is here,
I suggest we vote right away.
Who's in favor
of having him as new candidate for the vice presidency?
Please raise your hand.
Well, it's a unanimous decision.
That's that, Guillermo.
I feel really honored. Er…
Thank you for trusting me.
Unfortunately, I cannot accept.
All of you know what I've been through,
and at this point in my life, I just want to be at peace.
Guillermo, I know it's not an easy decision,
but as you noticed, we all agree that you are our best choice.
Why don't you take some time to think it over?
We are willing to wait, aren't we?
Yes, absolutely. And Guillermo, please,
do what's best for the party, and above all,
what's best for the country.
One more thing.
If you join Jaime as his running mate,
our victory will be overwhelming, and we'll defeat De la Torre.
Okay, let's not push him.
This meeting is adjourned.
Guillermo, the decision to be the new vice president, or not…
is in your hands.
I won't make promises,
but I give you my word I'll think about it.
But, please…
check other options too.
Okay?
Yes, let's go.
Well.
How does it feel?
Excuse me?
I know it was you and Mejía
who organized this whole trap to take Pedro out of the race.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm no idiot.
Hmm?
I believe it was you…
who told Álamo to organize that meeting behind my back,
while Guillermo poisoned my head.
You two did something to Pedro.
Careful with your words.
You don't have a shred of evidence of what you're saying.
We, on the other hand…
have everything we need
to fuck you up whenever we want.
Be careful.
Naivety is so cute.
Rosales has the tendency to think he's making the decisions.
But beware…
there's nothing worse than a humiliated idiot.
He could mess it all up in the homestretch.
Yes, I agree.
Jaime is a jerk.
Well, once you're named vice president, we must find allies,
especially inland.
-Sweetheart. -Hi.
Hello.
It's becoming the custom to find you here all the time, isn't it?
How terrible. But don't worry. We're about to finish.
I was made an important offer today.
-You were offered a position? -Yes.
Being running mate of Rosales.
He should accept, right? What do you think?
Hmm. Pablo told me, but I didn't believe him.
What?
Why?
Because you're not made to be second fiddle.
And, as I see it, Pablo will win the election.
Really?
I really appreciate your faith in me.
I'm more and more convinced you're the perfect match for me.
I'll be downstairs. Excuse me.
What do you mean Pablo will win?
This is… just ridiculous.
It makes no sense. Carolina's still sick.
Falling into Guillermo's hands again makes no sense.
This is not about Carolina's illness.
Haven't you thought that there's a chance that she's like Mejía?
What?
What if they are in cahoots,
came to an agreement at the clinic,
-and told us lies? -That's not true.
I think that might be possible,
and I recommended her to you.
I should've seen it coming. I do know Mejía.
Okay, okay. Fine.
But you can't anticipate everything Guillermo does.
I'll confront them.
No, no.
You're not going to Guillermo's. Are you insane?
He'll make a fuss and then he'll blame you. No.
Calm down.
I know what I'm doing.
-I'll come with you, then. -No. Stay here, will you?
I want to expose her.
She won't take me for a fool again.
I'll be right back.
Carolina!
Come down! I know you're there.
What's Pablo doing here?
-Carolina! -Where are my clothes?
Won't you do anything? Say anything?
Sorry, what is this? If I had known you were going to interrupt
the privacy of this home, I wouldn't have let you in.
And tell your gorilla to chill.
Sebas.
Pablo the Handsome.
I hadn't had the pleasure of your presence in a long time,
at my home.
Especially at this time, and uninvited.
Call Carolina.
Carolina, honey.
Come, someone's looking for you.
She's coming down.
I just can't understand what you're doing with this guy.
After everything he did to you.
The same applies to your relationship with Analía.
And yet, despite everything she did to me,
I respected your decision.
So, since I'm with Analía, the best you can do is be with him?
Pablo, don't underestimate me.
I'm a grown woman and can make my own decisions without your permission.
I agree.
But this man wants to be with you to piss me off. He's using you.
-That's exactly what I think… -Yes?
…of your relationship with Analía,
but you defend her and consider her your big love.
So she's using me to piss you off. Poor thing.
-She's my daughter, Pablo. -Right.
-She's my daughter. Don't ever forget. -Mm-hmm.
Listen to me.
I am in love with Carolina.
I see the things you never saw in her,
and I'll never neglect her.
Right. You know what?
Narcissistic psychopaths
can't love. They just can't.
The only thing they can do is destroy,
kill people, abuse people, rape women.
Terrible. It's called an inferiority complex.
It's true.
Screw this.
I wanted to do this in private but…
since…
Pablo has come to visit us, well…
Carolina Valencia,
will you marry me?
It's an honor for me to communicate, that as of now,
Mr. Guillermo León Mejía will replace
our dear friend and comrade, Pedro Álamo.
-Bravo. -Very good!
As you all know,
Guillermo Mejía is a politician with a long career,
who's been through some very difficult times.
But, despite injustice against him,
he's overcome those obstacles
and come out victorious.
I, at…
Thanks.
Thank you for your words, Jaime.
Well, it wasn't easy.
It wasn't easy to make the decision and accept this generous nomination.
I meditated a lot.
But after…
so much injustice, and knowing closely
those people society has convicted and relegated
to the background,
I thought it would be selfish of me to refuse to represent you…
This man gets you.
He's lived it firsthand. He's even been in jail.
Don't tell me you're being convinced by this man.
It's all problems, complications.
Fooling the people. They all do the same.
…I'm willing to do my best to serve the Colombian people,
and to show that every single one of us has the right to redemption.
Mr. Mejía has always been there for us.
He's always stood by his convictions.
He can do something for this country.
Today, I'm here,
committed…
to take the challenge
of becoming the candidate of second chances.
Bravo.
Great.
Excellent.
Sir, how does it feel to be candidate for the vice presidency
after being a candidate for the presidency?
I feel great.
I feel lucky, honored to be part of this great team.
This is something we must learn here in Colombia.
We must put aside the lust for being in the limelight.
We need to add more people, including the marginalized, and understand
that the average citizen is as important
as the president.
Is your candidacy legal?
Listen, my friend,
if my nomination wasn't legal and transparent
we wouldn't be in this press conference.
But it makes sense.
Your question is a perfect example of what the collective imagination is.
When you think that every person who's been in jail
will continue being a criminal.
And don't forget
that there are a lot of innocent people unfairly convicted,
like I was.
But justice always prevails.
I never lost faith in the institutions.
It must be hard to be in jail, especially when you're innocent.
How can you live with it and not lose hope?
It wasn't easy.
Do you know how I kept afloat?
With the support of so many people, their messages,
their letters.
It was… my fuel.
But there's something else,
a much stronger force.
Love.
When I… When I felt most lost,
I found Carolina Valencia along the way,
and she's become my rock.
An extraordinary woman.
An exemplary mother, who hasn't had it easy,
because she's been stigmatized as a mentally-ill person
by a man who, in his political campaign,
has always defended the issue of mental health.
Mr. Pablo de la Torre.
This guy's so cunning.
It takes balls to get involved with Pablo's ex.
"Balls"? The man's gross.
This is brand-new information. Uh…
I'm really blessed by good fortune
since she's agreed to marry me.
Congratulations.
Dear, Jaime, step over here.
I trust…
my beloved people and their wisdom.
I am sure
they will wisely choose the man who will best lead the country.
Rosales-Mejía, Democratic Force.
This is a disgrace.
It's absolutely outrageous.
I can't believe Carolina
is doing whatever she wants without thinking of Helena.
She's not insane, Mom. She's dangerous.
She's as rotten as Guillermo.
How could they have announced something like that
without telling her daughter first?
She still doesn't understand how much she hurts her.
I'll talk to Helena before she finds out.
I'll go with you.
Babe.
Hi, Dad.
How are you?
Fine. I'm studying.
Did something happen?
It looks serious.
Baby.
What is it?
-Tell me. -Your mom.
-What about her? -Honey,
your mom's dating Guillermo.
What?
And they're getting married.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Sweetheart, nobody does.
Nobody does.
Why didn't she tell me?
I'm sure she was going to.
The problem is Guillermo did it first at a press conference.
How can she marry that man?
-We must do something. -Helena,
-we won't do anything. -She can't marry him.
There's nothing I can do, sweetheart.
Your mom was discharged by her doctor.
I won't get involved anymore.
I'm telling you this to let you know
that things will change a little.
Okay?
I won't let you near that man.
What do you mean?
That I won't see Mom?
Helena…
-What? -…I'd never let that happen.
Then what will change?
Well,
some conditions for visitation.
And she surely won't like that.
And we'll probably fight a lot. That's why I'm telling you.
So you can be prepared.
I don't want to go through it again.
Honey, nobody does.
But that's life.
We'll have to choose sides, and I'm sure you'll do it right.
Because you know what's best.
And you're a big girl.
Aren't you?
Your dad is the new candidate for the Democratic Force Party.
How does it feel to see your efforts to stop Mejía from returning to politics
were in vain?
Citizens in this country must find suspicious
everything's that's happening inside Democratic Force.
What do you mean exactly?
For starters, the biggest opponent of Guillermo Mejía in his party,
Mr. Mariano Ortega,
who was in perfectly good health,
died recently of a heart attack.
Surprising, right?
And now, Mr. Álamo,
who was also perfectly healthy
to be a candidate, collapsed.
And this doesn't allow him to continue in his role.
What a terrible person.
Be careful.
What they're saying is true.
It's been a hard year for the party.
Or the candidates looking for more power in the party
are the ones causing all this.
I say this because there's a big, big rumor
that there was a fight between party members
right before Mr. Álamo had the stroke.
So, Mr. Rosales, I advise you to be cautious,
to be very alert of everything going on around you,
because this is no coincidence.
Are you saying that Mr. Mejía is responsible for it?
I'm not saying that, you're saying that.
I want to invite every Colombian
to vote responsibly and not get fooled.
Do not get fooled.
Don't forget that, in some corruption cases,
crimes, forced deaths,
some candidates who want to be our government leaders
are involved.
Mejía and Paulina used me.
I became their useful idiot.
But they're going to pay.
I'll let them…
believe I'm an idiot until I'm given the presidency.
Good idea.
Yes.
But after that,
I'm going to war.
And I need you to choose sides.
I'm obviously on your side,
but let me warn you, this game is… is very dangerous.
I know.
But I can play dirty too.
What I need is evidence
of every disgusting thing Mejía's been doing,
so when time comes,
I can expose him.
That is… very difficult,
because Paulina's an expert in covering up everything.
Without evidence, I'm fucked.
I'll have to resign.
No, of course not. That would mean making De la Torre the winner.
Yes, I know!
It's either that…
or getting killed.
What do you think of Mejía marrying your partner's ex?
Two of a kind?
Haven't you noticed how most people
with dubious ethical, moral values, with no principles
tend to get together?
Analía's a harpy.
That lady sucks.
You can tell she's green with envy.
I asked Guillermo not to talk about the wedding
until I talked to Helena.
You know Mr. Mejía.
He's so in love.
It seems the campaign motto… worked.
"The candidate of second chances."
Mm-hmm.
How's the woman who allowed me to be happy again?
Babe, I asked you
not to say anything to the media before I talked to Helena.
Honey, I'm sorry if I was wrong,
but I was so exc… I am so excited and…
I couldn't help letting the world know I love you and I'm here,
thanks to you.
Your words were beautiful, but I'm scared to think
that Helena can take it really badly.
No, you can't allow yourself to be scared anymore.
You're a great mom and your girl loves you.
Did you hear what Analía said about me? About us?
That woman has no limits.
I don't give a damn what the world thinks,
but we're back to the same.
It scares me that Helena can be influenced
by what that woman says.
That won't happen. Helena will understand.
As for Analía, leave her to me, I'll put her in her place.
And baby, please,
excuse my recklessness, but I can't control myself.
I love you!
What are you…
playing with this show of marrying Carolina?
Are you falling for her?
I want to understand.
I don't understand this sudden change of plans.
We agreed on making her spy
on Pablo's campaign, and then blame Analía for her death.
Relax.
I know what I'm doing. I'm changing plans for the better.
So don't worry.
We will both be in charge of this country.
And we're doing alright.
We're trending.
If Guillermo accepted the vice presidency,
he must think that Rosales will win.
He must have a plan to get the presidency. That's for sure.
The elections are around the corner and we don't know
what he's done.
That means that we must reinforce
our people inland
and protect the elections in case of fraud.
I'm sure they'll try to do it.
I agree.
How will we handle your presence?
Because your resignation was public. That could be negative.
Discretion.
Nobody needs to know I'm working with you.
And I'm with you one hundred percent.
And I hope we can work together.
-Of course. -Okay.
So, we need to focus on young people.
Okay? We need to let them know
that they will change the country,
that they are deciding to make this change.
Why? Because they'll be voting for new blood, a new message,
and we'll leave those fossils behind.
-Mm-hmm. -Love it.
Do you have statistics to know what the numbers would be like
in case we have that electoral strength?
-Didn't Benji send them? -No.
Okay, wait.
Er… This and this.
There. It's in the chat now.
Right, there it is.
So, you'll be focusing on surveys, okay?
And on voting intention.
Besides, we'll be focusing on that demographic, young people.
We'll swamp social media with messages,
with… I don't know, your speech, government plans,
but we'll do it in an emotional way,
with soulful, touching messages, so the people identify with you.
-Okay? -Okay.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need you to see this.
Mejía's doing the same thing as we are.
What a jerk.
He's good, huh?
Of course, he's copying the strategy I used on him.
Typical.
Truth is, it was really good.
He's turning public opinion in his favor.
Hmm?
He's posting what people feel and think
but don't dare say.
So, what are you…
going to do?
We'll continue this path.
What's on your mind?
To make incendiary statements,
like you and Guillermo did?
If you must, or worse.
To defeat Guillermo, you must know how to read him.
He has to feel cornered,
knowing that we'll be the ones who'll win.
So, you need to make a statement.
Your image is your strength. Look at you.
You're a clever, handsome, coherent guy, a great dad.
That's why you must address the country.
You must tell the people that you'll fight for Helena's custody,
because you won't allow your daughter to be in the hands of a rapist.
Not like that.
I mean, I won't expose my daughter's life
to get some votes. You know that.
You really don't know who you're facing.
-It's abundantly clear to me. -Sure.
But I won't behave like he does.
Hi, Eugenia. I'm here to get Helena.
No, I can't believe the nerve.
You're an amoral, selfish woman.
Listen, we'd better not talk about that,
or you'll come off badly.
You betrayed Guillermo when he needed you the most,
despite him doing everything you asked,
even denying Analía as his daughter.
Is that what he told you?
It isn't true.
I can't understand how you let yourself be brainwashed
from a social climber who's hurt this family and Pablo so much.
You used to love that social climber, just like Manuel José.
So happy to have named the president of this country.
No, you got it all wrong.
I'm not like you.
Manuel José and I did support Guillermo
without knowing he was going to betray us.
But unlike you,
I loved my husband more than anyone in this world.
But you…
you're just an opportunist who never loved Pablo.
All you wanted was power, but you messed up.
Pablo won't lose against Rosales,
so it won't work for you.
Look, I couldn't care less about your opinion of me.
I'm not here for you, I'm here for my daughter. Helena!
-Helena, sweetheart! -Quiet.
Stop shouting.
-She has nothing to say to you. -I'm her mom. She has to.
Helena!
Baby!
Why didn't you tell me?
Babe, I came here to do it,
but somewhere else. Your grandma won't let us talk.
-She's not going anywhere. -Granny, I want to hear Mom.
We'll be in the park, you can see us both.
You're right, we can't stand still.
Let's talk to Elvira
and have her exhume her husband's body to make an autopsy.
Alright. I agree.
I know this whole thing with Helena is very hard,
it's not easy for you.
I understand.
I understand what you're feeling.
-I know, I know. -I do understand.
-You know what? -Hmm?
All this is unimportant
when I feel my daughter is at risk…
Fine.
…or you are.
I won't let Guillermo mess with my family.
He already has.
He's with Carolina to harm Helena.
That's why I'll fight for custody. And if I have to…
use the fact that she's harming Helena, I will.
She can't be this close to Guillermo.
No.
No way.
Listen.
What do you want?
I'm going to kiss you.
-Mm-hmm? -Mm-hmm.
I don't want to be too intense or pushy,
but if what you're saying is true, it must be made public.
-It's not easy, I know. -Mm-hmm.
-I'll do what I have to do. -Mm-hmm.
But not that.
Because I won't…
turn my daughter's life into a media show.
-I know. -Okay?
I know. I understand.
I want us all to be safe,
you, her, all of us.
-I know. -I'll care for you.
Thanks.
Hmm.
-Oops. -Speaking of Mom.
Hello.
Okay. Calm down.
I'm on my way.
Carolina's talking to my daughter.
I don't know what.
Don't let it affect you.
Remember what we talked about.
-Mm-hmm. -Okay?
I don't know.
Babe, there's nothing to know at this point.
I won't do anything you don't want.
All I ask you is to meet Guillermo, honey.
Draw your own conclusions about him.
It won't be easy, Mom.
Dad doesn't want me near that man.
That's really unfair.
Have you heard all the awful things they say about Analía?
Well, I don't care.
I don't care because I'm sure
your dad will do anything to protect you.
Just like me.
I don't want you to fight over me again.
Don't say that, sweetheart.
I'm just asking you to give Guillermo a chance.
And if, after that, you still think he's a bad person,
I won't marry him.
I've been alone a long time,
without anyone who cares for me,
trying to get better.
Your dad…
he's with Analía, starting over.
Guillermo's nice to me,
he loves me, makes me happy.
Helena.
Honey, my car's parked over there.
I need to talk to your mom.
-Go. -Pablo,
Helena's the only topic we have to discuss.
So, if you must tell me something about her,
you can do it in her presence.
Yes, sure. I know.
But right now, I need to talk to you alone.
Dad, Mom's right.
I'm mature and you must trust me.
I'll decide if I want to meet Guillermo.
