Look, there's an English translation of the screenplay on the official anglophone website:
http://panslabyrinth.com/downloads/screenplay/PansLabyrinthEnglishScreenplay.pdf

Pages 50-51:

Mercedes takes a couple of steps... and suddenly, someone is there: it is Pedro, the young guerilla. He hugs her.

MERCEDES
Pedro, Pedro- My brother.

He kisses her on both cheeks. The Doctor looks around with alarm as twenty more men appear from out of the shadows.


Page 66:

The prisoner is Stutter.

Stutter and Mercedes look each other in the eye-

There is a mixture of relief and pity in Mercedes' eyes.


Because he's not her brother. Pedro is her brother. You read him as her lover instead, and mistook Stutter-guy for Mercedes's brother, but this is simply inaccurate.
