La Reina del Sur

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

MODEL FATHER BELOVED SON

You would've turned 45 today, son.

MALAGA, SPAIN

If your father hadn't come across that South American nine years ago,

he'd be celebrating his birthday today.

My father was no angel, Grandmother.

- What's that supposed to mean? - I'm not a child.

He was a drug trafficker.

Because that Mexican woman tricked him.

Even God couldn't have tricked a smart and famous lawyer like him.

Respect his memory.

One day I'll get the hell out of here and you'll never see me again.

Grandma, let's just leave, please.

Before we do, we have to give your father his birthday present.

Go on.

For nine years I've been chasing after that Mexican

so that she pays for her crime...

and I finally found her.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Blessed art thou and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Mom!

Mom, help me!

Please! Mom!

Mom!

Let go of me!

Mom!

Sofia!

- Mom! - Sofia!

Mom!

Mom!

Help me, Mom!

Mom, help me!

Mom!

Mom!

Who the hell are you?

Who are you?

How much were you paid to kidnap my daughter?

Teo? You're dead.

You actually thought you'd killed me, Teresa?

- Her name is Maria! - She's a murderer!

- No! - Don't touch her!

I've been looking for you everywhere for nine years!

- Don't listen to him! - You stole my daughter!

- That's not true! - You ordered my death!

- I didn't! - You're my dad?

- You killed my dad? - Don't listen to him!

- Tell me you didn't! - I didn't!

I'm here to return the favor, Teresa.

- No! - Mom!

Mom?

Now, now.

Hold me, please.

It's OK, Mom.

It's OK.

Was it the same nightmare?

Yeah. Don't mind me.

So...

how was I kidnapped this time?

Hot-air balloon or motorcycle?

Sofi.

I'm fine.

Your boyfriend's here.

Right.

Here's the jam you asked me to get for Francesco.

- There are six in total. - Thank you, sweetie.

We have to go into town, so hurry up, young lady.

You hurry up, young lady. Hi, Pedro.

Hey.

Hi.

Sofia isn't ready yet.

Why don't you go on ahead?

I have a surprise for you.

I finally found the perfect frame.

- Do you like it? - I love it. It's beautiful.

Time sure flies, huh? Sofia has blossomed right before my eyes.

Remember what I told you about photos.

Before you start, I deleted the original from my computer.

This is the only one.

Are you sure? You're not lying, are you?

Not at all. You're so mysterious.

Thank you.

Francesco arrived today so I'm going to deliver his jam

and then meet up with you.

The guy from Naples who tasted your jam,

saved Sofia's life, and has stopped by three times?

He's not coming to see me. He has business in Massa Marittima.

- I see. - Plus, he wants to see Sofi perform.

He's grown fond of her or something.

Should I be jealous of this superhero?

Of course not! Besides, jealousy kills.

I only ask that if Sofia's in any of the pictures you take,

please delete them.

We've been dating for a year...

and sometimes I feel like I don't really know you, Maria.

Right.

- See you at the square. - OK.

Are you ready?

Yes, Mom. Thank you for letting me compete this year.

I know we're going to win,

which is why I'm going to draw the star of victory.

I wouldn't proclaim victory yet if I were you.

What if you don't win?

You're right, Mom.

You know,

if I bring home the trophy, I'll finish drawing the star.

If we lose,

I'll leave it like that forever as a reminder of our defeat.

That's great, but why are you wearing my necklace?

Let me wear it today. It'll bring me good luck.

Please, Mom? Please, please?

But only because today is a special day.

Very special.

We're going to win.

Remember, the town is filled with tourists and weirdos.

I know. I have to be careful.

That's right.

MASSA MARITTIMA, ITALY

Here, Mom.

- All right. - Maria.

Hello, Stella.

- Your jam. - Thank you.

What a surprise to see you here.

Was your husband discharged from the hospital?

If only. Mario is still hospitalized.

But I have to open the shop and make the most of the tourist flow.

Sofia, come here.

Mom, they're calling me. I have to go.

Don't miss the competition. We're going to win this year.

Good luck! Francesco, Maria's here.

Hey, hey. Where's my kiss?

I'll be at the square.

Why do get so nervous when the tourists come for festivals?

There are some really bad people out there.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

You taught me how to pummel bad guys.

- Hey! - I know how to fight back.

Sofia, come quickly.

I'll be right there.

Nothing bad will happen to me. I'm wearing my lucky necklace.

I love you.

- Hi. - Hi.

Have you considered my offer to open a factory?

Yes.

I have the means of distribution and representatives throughout Europe.

We'd make a lot of money.

I'm sure we would, and I've thought hard about it,

but the answer's still no.

Thank you, Francesco, but I don't want to do it.

I'd much rather spend time with my daughter.

Sofia is as beautiful as her mother.

The Italian art of what we call "flirting."

No, the Italian art of recognizing beauty wherever you find it.

Blame the Renaissance.

We finally meet.

You're Francesco, right?

Francesco Belmondo. How are you?

Nice to meet you.

Thank you for saving Sofia from that scooter.

Anyone would've done the same.

That's right.

By the way, Sofia's team is up next.

The three of us can get ice cream afterward.

Yes, babe. Just like we agreed.

Do you plan on staying in Massa for a while?

I can't.

I inspected the building I was here to see

and I need to travel to your homeland today.

You already closed the deal in Mexico?

No one can beat my prices.

That's great!

I'm very happy for you.

When was the last time you were in Mexico?

Oh, it's been ages.

I mean, Sofia has never visited my homeland.

Why don't you come with me?

- To Mexico? - Yes.

No.

No, no. There's nothing for me there.

Sofia's team is up next.

Yes.

Are they done?

Your mom told me to bring you over here.

Maria, what's wrong?

Hey! Maria!

- What's wrong? - Let go.

Someone's taken my daughter!

I don't know where she is! Those bastards found me!

- Where's my mom? - She's over here.

- I want to go back. - No.

- Come here! - No!

- Come here! - Mom, help me please!

- Shut up! - Mom!

Shut up!

Enough.

Police, stop that woman! She's stealing my bike!

Be quiet.

Go.

Mom!

Get me out of here!
