A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
THE COUNTDOWN
BEGINS
Your mother asked me to bring you over.
No! Mom, help!
They took my daughter! I don't know where she is!
Those bastards found me!
It's been so long since I heard your voice, Teresita.
- Where the hell is my daughter? - On her way to Mexico.
What do I have to do to get my daughter back?
I want you to destroy Zurdo Villa's empire.
Tesa?
What are you doing in Moscow?
Any news on the Mexican?
I need you now more than ever.
Faster, faster!
The wheel of fortune.
My mom killed my dad?
You're going to clear the road to the presidency for me.
The faster you hand over Zurdo's head,
the faster you'll get your daughter back.
Where's your little girl?
She's well hidden and far away from those bastards' reach.
I knew this would happen and it did.
He's in love with me.
Be very mindful of what you say and do.
Why are you with this bitch?
Show some respect, asshole! Teresa Mendoza is a lady.
Aren't you ashamed of having to humiliate yourself like this?
Step on it...
Sofia!
...so you can get your daughter back
before anything bad happens to you two.
The mission was completed without a hitch, sir.
Willy became stupid with age.
Zurdo Villa isn't as powerful as he is because he's dumb.
This is General Abdelkader.
Welcome to Morocco, sir.
Thank you, Mr. African.
Zurdo, are we all set?
We're all set.
I feel like this trip will change our lives, Teresa.
There you have it. Zurdo doesn't suspect a thing.
We have Zurdo within our grasp.
He really loves me, Oleg. He doesn't deserve my betrayal.
Get that thought out of your head.
The final leg of the mission just started.
You can send the military tomorrow at 1PM
to capture Zurdo Villa,
if you return my daughter at the same time.
Boss, it's me. The military raided the ranch.
Let go!
You sent me to hell, but you're coming with me!
Oleg!
If that bastard talks and says my name,
I can kiss the presidency goodbye.
Teresa!
That's Zurdo!
- Take off now, damn it! - I'm going!
Throw him off!
No!
Charo!
- Charo, no! - Charo!
Help me.
You're Lupo.
She's not your average woman.
There's a reason they call her the Queen of the South.
I was the one who killed...
Juan Jose Montoya.
Please don't hurt him.
Take him away.
Tell me something.
Did you kill my cousin?
- Get him out of here. - Answer!
Did you kill my cousin?
I'm sorry.
How could you lie to me, asshole?
Motherfucker!
Get him out of here and keep an eye on the radar.
We asked you a question.
What's this?
Answer, damn it!
You planned to kill Epifanio with this, didn't you?
Who shot Epifanio?
It wasn't Batman. We know that much.
It was a DEA sniper. We just want to know who.
Fucking murderer.
Not only are you a traitor, you also came here to kill me.
These shitheads here are the murderers.
It was the perfect plan.
Once Epifanio became president,
you'd be able to control the Mexican government
from Washington, of course.
Your boss at the DEA chose you, his best undercover agent.
Mr. President. We're counting on you for this mission.
You had to become a member of his family,
so you could control him from up close.
The mission was jeopardized when the other candidate
quickly became popular thanks to the money Zurdo gave him.
So your boss at the DEA gave you my address
and you dragged me back to put an end Zurdo
and thus put end to his candidate.
And I...
Well, I agreed to it.
I did it to rescue my daughter.
Everything was going great,
but you fucked up towards the end.
You had to kill my daughter and me
so there wouldn't be any loose ends.
What you didn't count on was that one of your own people
would help us escape.
You have to run.
That's when everything went to shit.
Epifanio became disposable
and you were ordered to kill him
so you could take his place and become president instead.
Since the attack failed,
you came here to finish the job.
Teresita talked me into coming to see and hear you confess
and you wanted to kill me, motherfucker.
With this, right?
What are you doing?
Give that to me.
Take it.
Now drink it.
Drink it!
What are you waiting for?
For your friends to come rescue you?
Drink it, asshole! We don't have all day!
What's in the vial?
Help me.
Yes, he'll help you after you finish the drink you brought
for your brother-in-law.
Alright, fine.
- What do you want to know? - The truth.
If you confess, you go to prison.
If you don't, you die.
You decide.
Polonium.
What's that?
A very strong poison.
It's sold in the black market by the Russians.
Its effects are deadly.
Fucking murderer.
Son of a bitch.
My mission was to get rid of you.
Oh yeah, asshole?
Well, now you're going to drink that shit.
You wanted to kill me, right?
Well, now you're going to drink that and you're going to die!
- Come on! - Epifanio, don't kill him!
Don't dirty your hands.
What are you doing here? This is wrong!
What are you doing here, Bebita?
I followed you.
We're not the DEA, but we have a few tricks.
This isn't good for the baby. You have to go.
I heard everything.
Who the fuck are you?
I don't know you.
You're not the brother I grew up with.
You tried to kill...
the father of my child.
You're fucked.
Teresa, I'm picking up a signal from a helicopter close by.
This is going to get ugly.
Get her out of here.
We're not like you, dumb ass.
Captain!
The signal is coming from further ahead.
Alejandro is there.
Find a place where we can land. Quickly!
Got it!
Go, go, go!
Stay down there, asshole.

Captain...
Teresa, Lupo, and Epifanio are getting away,
but I don't see Alejandro.
What do we do?
Do we land or do we follow them?
No, follow them!
What about Alejandro?
I'll handle it.
William?
Listen, Alejandro is still in the building.
We're going to change the other targets. Over.
Copy that. We're on our way. Over and out.
Here comes that bastard.
If he fires at us, we're done for, Teresita.
They're going to kill us. They don't know I'm here.
- Let them see me. - Shut up, traitor!
This is very serious.
They won't stop.
Let's negotiate. We can resolve this.
No one believes anything you say, asshole, so shut up!
All in all, if this ends here, great!
I'm thrilled!
You can come to hell with us.
Mr. Sheldon, we have Teresa, Lupo and Epifanio
in clear point of view.
I need your authorization to proceed.
Of course.
No, I said of course.
Who wants to see daddy's new office?
- Hi! - Hey!
I love you, Daddy.
I love you too.
Come on, Susan. Let me show you this.
I've got windows on three walls.
Wait till you see this.
Oh, my God! I love it!
Get the weapons ready.
Go, team, go!
You ready?
Kill them all!
Okay!
Damn it!
What the hell is going on?
Why do you keep missing?
Fuck!
Forget about it! Use your rocket launcher!
Get as close as you can.
Okay.
Shit! They have a rocket launcher!
They're going to fuck us up.
They'll blow us to pieces! Don't you get it?
Keep going!
What the hell is going on?
Yeah! We made it!
Did we? Have you seen what's up ahead?
What do we do now?
I'm not stopping.
- You have to... - Stop.
- Stop! - ...they're going to shoot us!
What's going on? We need to turn around.
I want to face them head on.
Okay.
Thank you, Pepe.
Here.
Take these chocolates to my room
and make sure Sofia doesn't seem them.
Then drive Rodrigo to wherever he tells you.
Of course.
The little one will have a field day with these.
I'll go straight to my office
to make the changes you've requested to your will.
Very good, Rodrigo.
I want it to be very clear that my three granddaughters
are to inherit my fortune.
It will be.
Cayetana, you only have 48 hours to make arrangements.
After that, the judge will pass your incarceration order.
I know.
Also, you haven't mentioned what you plan to do about the girl.
I can stay with her if you like.
Don't worry.
I assure you she'll be in good hands.
Rodrigo...
thank your for everything you've done for me.
Grandma!
Hello, sweetheart!
I'm so glad you're here. How do you feel?
Well, and do you know why?
Because I did what I had to do.
- We'll be in touch. - Thank you, Rodrigo.
Did you miss me?
So much.
I missed you too.
Get out.
Get out, damn it!
Get out! Get out!
Get out, damn it!
Get out!
Easy!
Easy, easy!
Hold it, asshole!
Shit, Alejandro's with them.
You'll pay for this, motherfuckers!
Fire!
No, don't!
No!
- You okay? - Yeah.
It's over now.
Yeah, but they made toast out of poor Alex.
You managed to fool them.
You were very convincing. Thank you.
It was all very risky, but it was worth it.
What about you?
Did you love your brother-in-law that much?
No, but I feel bad for Bebita.
Well, we've all lost something.
No one gets away unscathed.
It's Ray.
We couldn't block the road any longer.
Let's go.
Let's go!
Before you disappear,
I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for me.
It was worth it.
Go, go, go.
- Leave! - Come on, Teresita!
Go on, man. Leave.
Hope it's all right.
Agent Nuñez, we arrived, but he's not here.
I repeat, Alejandro is not here.
They've taken him away.
Fuck!
Shit.
Turn this place upside-down.
Find out anything here.
MALAGA, SPAIN
Hello?
Teresa, it's Cayetana.
Is my daughter okay?
Sofia's fine. Don't worry.
But I'd like you to pick her up as soon as possible.
What happened?
No, really, your daughter's fine,
but I've noticed that she misses you,
that she yearns for you,
and I know you'd do anything to be with her again.
Now I'm really lost.
You swore you'd take my daughter from me,
and now you've changed your mind?
Please don't lie to me. What happened to my daughter?
Teresa, it just so happens that this war is over
and that we've all lost.
Sometimes love can be a poisoned gift.
I loved my son deeply
and I gave him everything,
but I didn't give him what he needed
and that led him to his death.
It wasn't you, Teresa.
It was me.
I learned that from your daughter Sofia.
Please do me a favor.
Tell Paloma and Rocio
that they can return to Spain whenever they want...
and ask them to forgive me.
To forgive me for not knowing how to be there for them
and care for them when they needed me most.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Yes, Teresa.
I'm at peace.
I wanted to tell you this...
Well, there's so much more I'd like to tell you,
but you know, there's never enough time in life.
I ask that you come get Sofia as soon as possible.
I'll leave in a matter of hours.
Thank you, Teresa.
What happened with my brother?
What had to happen, honey.
I'm so sorry.
You decide whether you want to return to Spain or not.
I only ask that you be very happy
and that you take good care of each other,
especially in this business.
Please tell my grandmother that I'll go visit her, okay?
Of course.
Thank you for everything.
Sis.
- Take good care of her. - I will.
After we get married, we'll board a plane
and I'll take her to Spain.
- I love you. - I love you too.
Under no circumstance are you to forget me.
Queen, how could I forget you?
When I try to forget you,
I forget to forget and I start to remember.
Take good care of yourself.
You too. Look after her.
It'll be my pleasure. Come on, my little vampire.
Be happy.
Bye, sweetheart.
Batman Güemes.
I never thought there'd come a time
when I'd have to thank you for anything.
I haven't forgotten that you took my daughter from Italy.
I forgive, but I don't forget.
Look after her.
I won't forget you saved my life.
What are you going to do, Conejo?
I was going to leave with Teresa,
but I've changed my mind.
Fermin wrote to me!
- No! - Yes!
They don't call me Conejo [rabbit]
just because of my teeth, darling.
See you soon.
What are you going to call the baby?
Don't laugh, okay?
I'm going to call him Raymundo, just like you.
Raymundo?
Yes, please.
If you can, communicate that to my lawyer, in Moscow.
Thank you. I will.
Oleg.
Yes?
The car and the jet are ready.
Be right there.
You risked your life for me yet again.
Everything we went through
was the result of an agreement between the US and my country.
The Russians? I don't understand.
What are you talking about?
There's no such thing as a coincidence, Tesa.
I've been thinking about all this from the start
and ever since you said what you said,
I have no doubt in mind.
Polonium is radioactive and is banned in the US,
but it's bought from the Russians for secret missions.
Of course.
That's why they were...
Sofia's kidnapping, the attempt on Epifanio's life,
it was all orchestrated by the Americans and the Russians
so they could intervene in Mexican politics.
Are you completely sure about this?
Yes.
There are new alliances
between the governments of both nations.
They're better off controlling drug trafficking,
than attacking it.
My exit from Moscow was no coincidence, Tesa.
I was being harassed so I'd run away with you.
We didn't notice,
but we were both pushed into destroying Zurdo Villa.
I can't believe that I'm about to say this,
but I think Epifanio Vargas is the lesser of the evils
that can come to Mexico.
Good thing we warned him about what they planned to do to him.
In my eyes, Mexico's future looks like hell.
How sad.
Worry about yourself.
Disappear.
And this time, don't tell anyone where you're going.
I'm going to miss you, my little hell-raiser.
Me too.
What are you going to do about Fran... Michele?
Nothing.
I didn't even want to say goodbye to him.
I love you, my friend.
I love you too.
It's twilight.
That's a good omen.
I'm coming for you, sweetie.
Sofia!
Mom!
It's all over.
We'll never be apart again, you hear me?
- Never, never. - Never.
- I missed you so much, Mom. - I missed you too.
You look so pretty.
You look beautiful.
There's someone else who's missed you a lot.
Tozzi!
You look so cute.
I finally get to meet you.
I'm your sister Paloma.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Sofia.
I really wanted to meet you.
Where's Rocio?
She couldn't come, but she sends you lots of kisses.
You'll soon get to meet her.
Did my grandmother know you were coming?
Of course she did. I spoke with her yesterday.
She didn't tell me.
Where is she?
In the living room.
She fell asleep in her rocking chair.
She didn't tell me anything, but...
Is it a boy or a girl?
A boy.
May I touch it?
Of course.
How sweet!
You're going to be an aunt.
Yaya will be very happy to see you.
- You think so? - Yes.
Yaya has changed a lot.
Come on. Look.
She doesn't always wear black
and she even learned to make marmalade.
Come on.
Yaya.
Yaya, look who's here!
Thank you for the surprise.
Yaya?
Yaya.
Yaya!
Grandmother.
Grandmother?
Yaya?
Yaya!
She's dead.
Is Grandma dead?
It's me, Paloma.
No!

Aren't you going to congratulate the new president of Mexico?

- That's great for us all. - You got what you wanted.
Well, guys, now's the time to work hard!
Congratulations!
Yeah!
Congratulations!
Let's hear it! Give it up!
