TERESA: Previously on Queen of the South...
Guero said you can help me.
(kisses)
EPIFANIO: I'm sorry, Teresa.
I said, stop the car! (gun fires)
(dramatic music broods)
*
(speaking Spanish)
Welcome to America.
EPIFANIO (over phone): That puta and Guero stole money from me.
If you find this girl,
let me know.
*
CAMILA: (speaking Spanish)
We're the same.
Never go into business with someone
unless you know what their weakness is.
What's mine?
CAMILA: Guero.
I just want to be together.
No matter what.
JAMES: You were right about Guero.
Now you're second-guessing him. This is messy.
Well then, I clean it up like I always do.
TERESA: I'm leaving Camila.
I would like to keep working with both of you.
As long as you have El Santo's product, you have me.
Remember this, wherever you go,
whatever you do,
I will hunt you down-- (phone beeps)
*
(gunfire)
POTE: They got Camila.
JAMES: Who got her? POTE: I don't know.
I didn't break you out of prison to hurt you.
I received this video.
I'm in trouble.
I've been kidnapped.
Everyone has a right to the throne,
if they can take it.
You working for Camila?
I was. She has something of mine.
-I need help taking it back. -What?
Cocaine.
JAMES: What do you want, Teresa?
Half of the product from El Santo.
The only thing you'll get from me is a bullet.
(gunfire)
Where is Camila?
If I had her, I would have traded her.
(pistol fires) (grunts)
(shotgun fires) (groans)
*
You won. The coke is yours.
Where you go, I go.
(tires screech)
El Santo found me.
I'm late with his payment.
(music intensifies)
(dramatic dirge music)
*
(dogs snarling)
(flesh tearing) (dogs snarling)
(speaking Spanish)
(dramatic music pounds)
*
We're supposed to protect her.
Don't you dare point your finger at me.
You're the one who ran away
and left Isabela without a mother.
-Really? -She was heartbroken!
And she filled your absence with the Jimenez boy.
She wouldn't have met Kique Jimenez
if you hadn't partnered up with Boaz.
You broke Boaz out of prison!
Our daughter's been kidnapped because
you're responsible for Manuel's death,
whether you pulled the trigger or not.
You, you killed Manuel
the moment you conspired with him behind my back.
He was a good man,
but you twisted him like you did with my lieutenants,
like you tried to do with Batman.
And now?
Our daughter might die because of you!
(cries)
(stifled crying)
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
(soft dramatic music)
I'm as scared as you are.
*
We did this to her, you know?
This life,
we brought this on ourselves.
(cell phone rings)
(ringing and buzzing)
It's them.
(ringing continues)
(phone beeps)
Hello?
Where's my money?
I'm prepared to give you 2 million up front,
as a gesture of good faith.
The other 8 will be delivered
when you hand over my daughter safely.
I'm not trying to negotiate, old man. Don't fuck with me.
You pay me the whole 10 million or your daughter dies.
(phone beeps)
We're not accepting the 2 million.
Epifanio's trying to play me.
My father has an army.
I would take the money and leave Mexico.
Mexico's my home, princesa.
I plan to die here, even if I die today.
I want a fair deal.
Epifanio took what I love.
Now I'll take what he loves.
Hello?
CHUCHO: We just delivered the coke
to Finch's people,
just like you told us to.
We're meeting his couriers now.
Tell Big T we'll get his payment soon.
CHUCHO: Will do.
That's a lot of backup.
It's $27 million.
POTE: Why is the coke here?
(suspenseful music)
*
(car door opens)
It is out of form for me to be here.
Things go smoothly, my presence isn't required.
Things go south, I have a reliable team
in place to handle it.
I'm here because I'm disappointed, Teresa.
I had to hear the answer in person.
Are you desperate enough to play me
or did someone fuck you?
This is not cocaine.
This is lactose powder.
And that
is somebody trying to get their head blown off.
There must be a misunderstanding.
I'll straighten this out right away.
My judgment is usually impeccable.
Or maybe I was wrong this time.
Maybe you're not ready for this.
I am. I'll fix it.
I hope so.
Or our road together ends here.
(truck door clanks shut)
You were right.
The gang stole the coke.
Big T burned us.
Now what, jefa?
We burn him back.
(dramatic music)
*
(Eb Black's "Dale Brinquitos")
*
Hey.
I know you ain't missed me that much.
Get your ass down.
What the--
I trusted you, and you stole from us.
What the hell are you talking about?
Call your uncle, tell him I have his money
and I want to meet.
I'm not gonna help you kill my uncle, pendeja.
(gun cocks)
Then you can say good-bye on the phone.
(soft brooding music)
This is so messed up.
On speaker.
*
(keys clack) (phone beeps)
(phone rings, beeps)
This better be good, Traviesita.
I was about to crash out.
It's payday.
I'm with Teresa; they want to know where you want to meet.
The old amusement park.
(over phone) South side of D-Town.
One hour.
I'll let 'em know. (phone beeps)
*
Let's go.
(music builds)
*
(kissing and soft moaning)
BOAZ: Kique, this is Papa Cabrón.
(speaking Spanish)
You better not have run off with that virgin Vargas.
I already told you.
(speaking Spanish)
(phone beeps) (smacking bottom)
Let the me n talk.
(women softly pout)
Ass like that,
you can't get in the States.
(hip-hop music playing)
I came back to Culiacán
to look for Camila.
Word is you might know who has her.
If I knew, why would I tell you?
Last time we met,
we discussed a partnership.
*
(chuckles)
So you want to cut La Jefa out?
(drink pours) Deal with me directly, huh?
Finally coming to your senses. (parrot squawking)
I like that.
You know, women at her age,
they go through changes.
Hormones and shit. (parrot whistles)
Makes them go crazy.
And that's not just me.
(parrot squawks)
That's science.
(laughs)
Borracho.
Is that safe for a parrot?
(laughing) It's okay.
He's down to only one a day.
I love this little pendejo.
(parrot speaks indistinctly)
BOAZ: A little bird told me
Camila's safe back at the nest.
*
You mean at home with Epifanio?
Yeah, I think that's what we mean.
Tell him what we mean, Borracho.
(speaking Spanish)
(laughs) He crazy.
BORRACHO: (speaking Spanish) BOAZ: (laughing)
He's crazy. Hey!
(speaking Spanish)
Epifanio gave me his whole empire.
(soft dramatic music)
It's mine.
However, I have a nagging feeling
Camila's not gonna like the arrangement,
but...
If you take out Camila,
all of Dallas is yours.
You gotta start looking out for yourself.
*
(dramatic music)
*
What is this?
I don't want to shoot her.
What the hell you doing, Teresa?
Either this is a joke or I'm looking at a dead woman.
Where the hell is my money?
Bitch thinks you robbed her.
You switched the product.
I need it back.
(Chase & Status' "Nervous")
CHUCHO: We delivered the product to Finch like we said.
We didn't switch shit.
And we expect to get paid.
Now I'm only going to say this once,
give us our money and take that piece off of Lil T
and you might make it out of here alive.
She'll stay with me until we get it back.
* In the middle of the moment *
* The pressure's gonna take you *
Okay.
Hit her, Kenny!
* We are the only thing that you need *
* I can tell you're nervous
* Hold it down and just breathe *
* Yeah
* We are the only thing that you need *
* I can tell you're nervous
* Hold it down and just breathe *
*
(groans)
(groaning)
(yelps)
*
(pained groaning)
(pained yelp)
(breathing heavily)
(soft dramatic music)
Who you calling?
Devon still needs the coke.
He might help us.
This is gonna hurt.
-(grunts) -(yelps)
(line trills, clicks)
DEVON: Hello.
Devon.
(over phone) I'm in trouble.
I need your help to get the coke.
The product has been delivered in full.
(over phone) James arranged it.
Trust me when I tell you,
contacting me again will be
an extremely poor decision on your part.
Good luck, Teresa.
(phone beeps)
(soft pained gasping)
What is it?
It was James that changed the coke
at the train yard.
He played us.
Now we have no way to pay El Santo.
(pained groan)
(dark music)
(yelps)
*
(soft dramatic music)
They're somewhere around here!
TERESA: I can't run.
POTE: (speaking Spanish) They're getting closer.
*
Puta madre.
TERESA: (breathing heavily)
(dramatic sting)
Where's your friend?
I just found out it wasn't you
who switched the coke; I'm sorry.
You are not forgiven.
And I'm done playing games.
Hey!
My legs don't work, but my finger works fine.
And we're going to get what's ours.
(engine revving)
(tires screech)
(grunts) (groans)
Entra!
Get in!

(pistol firing)
(grunts) (pistol fires)
(tires squeal)
(indistinct shouting) (pistol firing)
(glass clattering) (indistinct shouting)
(dramatic music)
(breathing heavily)
James tricked us.
You're losing too much blood.
I need to take you to the doctor.
No.
Take me to El Santo's Angel.
-Teresa. -It's our only chance.
We need to ask for more time.
(soft dramatic music)
*
Mami, Papi,
I'm in trouble.
I've been kidnapped.
I haven't been this scared since I turned eight.
And--it's new-- the phone, I'm sorry, it's new.
Pedro Jimenez, he blames you for his father's murder.
I haven't been this scared since I turned eight.
And--it's new-- the phone, I'm sorry, it's new.
(soft music)
*
How did you know Camila was here?
I need to speak to her. We have business.
You protected her while she was away from me.
Thank you.
Where is she?
Epifanio.
What is it?
I know where she is.
*
(phone beeps)
I haven't been this scared since I turned eight.
And--it's new-- the phone, I'm sorry, it's new.
For her eighth birthday, we took her to
the beach in Mazatlán, remember?
-Yeah. -There's a Jimenez estate there.
It's called Punto Nuevo.
That's why she used those words.
She used their message to send us one of her own.
She's truly her mother's daughter.
JAMES: You know the location.
But do you know what kind of force is holding her?
Boaz cut off half of Manuel's family.
They have no cash for sicarios.
Then it's just family. What they asking for?
10 million.
10 million only goes so far
if you've got no one protecting you.
I'd say they're splitting the money,
we're dealing with less than ten men.
It's revenge.
He wants to kill them both.
He's gonna keep Isabela hidden
until he has the money.
But to do that, he has to split his men.
You should give him the 10 million.
Let the money sparkle in front of his eyes.
And you, James,
take Epifanio's soldiers,
rescue our daughter,
and show that Jimenez kid
what real pain is.
(dramatic music pounds)

EL SANTO: Ay, ay, ay.
(speaking Spanish)
El SANTO: (slowly vocalizing)
THE QUEEN: Levantate, Teresa.
El SANTO: (slowly vocalizing)
(speaking Spanish)
The greatest among you
must become servants,
as I am a servant.
A servant to who?
To live
is to die.
And to die
is to begin again.
And the serpent shall swallow
its own tail.
And within the circle,
you will create yourself.
Moyocoyotzin.
(liquid bubbling)
He's insane,
but he's right.
Are you just gonna sit there all day?
(soft ominous music)
Go.
*
It's ether.
It'll burn me.
Nothing burns hotter than fear.
If you want to live, you must face your enemies.
TERESA: My enemies will kill me.
Life
or death.
It's your choice.
(music builds)
*
(ether sizzles)
*
No one ever said it would be easy.
(dramatic music builds)

You leave me now, you die.

Wherever you go,
whatever you do,
I will hunt you down.

(dramatic music pounds)
(exhales)
POTE: Is that what went down in La Paz?
(scoffs)
I'm glad I missed it.
TERESA: How long have I been out?
POTE: Not long.
But today, time is not our friend.
(exhales)
El Santo's Angel saved your life,
but they still want their money by sundown.
Then we better move.
Ven.
(soft groan) Thank you.
I need to get to Mexico now.
(soft dramatic music)
(intense whooshing)
Don't be late. (phone beeps)
(speaking Spanish)
Está bien. Vamos.
Vamanos.
(speaking Spanish)
Isabela!
Pretty soon you'll no longer be my responsibility.
Your parents will be so sad.
What are you talking about, Pedro?
You'll see.
-(speaking Spanish) -Está bien.
(shouting Spanish)
(soft dramatic music)
(phone beeps)
(line trilling)

CORTEZ: Bravo, Pedro, bravo.
You're a very brave young man.
Thank you, Colonel.
We're making things right.
CORTEZ: Yes, we are.
Your father would be proud.
And--and my people will be taken care of?
You have my word.
*
The vermin
who would kill a great man,
like your father,
they will answer for their wicked deeds.
(over phone) I'll see you here soon.

(phone beeping)
(phone buzzing)
(soft music)
(buzzing continues)
(phone beeps) Hey.
Guero.
(over phone) It's me.
I know you went back to Culiacán
because you wanted revenge
for what Epifanio's men did to me.
That's not your revenge to take.
We have to do it my way.
(over phone) But I need your help.
What do you have in mind?
Do you know where Epifanio is?
*
GUERO: Yeah, I got a pretty good idea.
He's keeping some interesting company.
*
TERESA: Will you help me?
Always.
(music builds)
(speaking Spanish)
(grunting)
(exhales)
MAN: (speaking Spanish)
I'm not gonna let them hurt you.
Isabela, I'll die first.
We're gonna get out of here.
And we're gonna get away from all this bullshit, Isabela.

Whoa-whoa--where's Pedro?
We didn't find him.
Huh, what do you mean?
*
(soft dramatic music)

(kisses)
It's okay, mi'ja.
We were so worried about you, Bela.
(kisses)
Why couldn't Kique come with us?
His parents wanted him home.
They love him.
Just as we love you, okay?
You know,
he would have died for me.
I'm gonna marry him.
It'll be an alliance.
Our families working together.
You know it's been a long day.
We'll talk about it later, okay?
(kisses)
(tender music builds)
*
(jet engine roars)
Thank you
for saving my daughter.
I've stayed by your side.
I stayed loyal.
But you're back with your family now.
You don't need me anymore.
(sighs)
Where would you go?
I got the 27 million from Devon.
(phone rings, beeps)
I'll deliver it back to you, but I want a cut.
(chuckles)
I'd say 1/3 is fair.
9 million's a good beginning.
I have one more question for you.
How did you know I was with Epifanio?
Boaz told me.
Did he offer you a deal?
He wanted me to kill you.
(soft dramatic music)
Good-bye, my loyal friend.
If you ever need anything,
you know where to find me.
*
(glasses clink)
We have more than just our daughter's safety to celebrate.
I have some very good news.
My sources in Dallas just told me that
the DEA agent that arrested you has been suspended.
And all charges against you will be dropped.
What about the agents that were killed?
One thing at a time, mi amor.
We'll deal with that.
But this means that your name will be cleared,
and you no longer have to be afraid.
Camila.
I am done with this business.
Stay with us in Culiacán, mi amor.
Be a mother to Isabela. Be my wife.
Let's be a family before the world
tries to tear us apart again.
*
What do you say?
Okay.
*
Why did we land here?
This isn't Culiacán.
(dramatic music)
JAMES: Hey, what the hell is this?
Hey-hey.
Stay right there.
Hey, Epi.
Give me a reason to cut you down right here.
Come on, you two guys off the plane.
-Mami, Papi. GUERO: Andale.
You two guys got a date.
(dramatic music pounds)
*
We're not here to hurt anyone.
You tried to set me up, but we can still make a deal.
With a drug mule? (chuckles)
Take your rat boyfriend and leave before my army arrives
and makes what Gato did to you feel like a warm bath.
Not the best way to start a negotiation.
I'll deal with you soon enough.
TERESA: It's okay, Pote.
This is between me and them.
CAMILA: You have nothing.
You come here with my cook and your lover.
You lost your distributor.
And without him, El Santo will consume you.
You have Devon.
But I'm the connection with the product.
If I go away, Bolivia goes away.
You know that.
People will always buy shit coke.
Devon won't.
You need El Santo.
EPIFANIO: You and that madman can rot in Hell.
You want a deal?
Go talk to Boaz Jimenez.
Camila and I are done with this business.
(soft suspenseful music)
Is that true?
*
TERESA: If you're out, I'll leave in peace.
If you're not out, I want Dallas.
I'll continue to provide you
with the product El Santo gave you.
Then we can finally be partners.
Dallas is mine.
The only deal that goes on here
ends with you in the grave.
EPIFANIO: What are you saying, Camila?
You promised me you'd come home.
*
(speaking Spanish)
EPIFANIO: Enough of this shit.
If I have to save you from yourself
to save our family,
so be it.
(pistol fires) EPIFANIO: (grunts)
Papi?
He's been shot.
-Papi. GUERO: Hey-hey-hey!
(speaking Spanish)
(yelps)
(grunts)
Stay on the plane. I'll get help.
God damn it.
(suspenseful music)
CAMILA: It's okay.
*
Here we are again.
I tried to steal someone you love,
and somehow you managed to do the same.
Love and this business cannot coexist.
Epifanio...
That's why I have to
choose for you, my love.
No.
Stop this.
There's another way.
There is no other way.
*
(pistol cocks, fires)
I told you I'd kill you someday.
You want to shoot me?
Go ahead.
I'm walking away.
Camila and I are done.
Not with Teresa's cut of the money you're not.
If I give her that money,
she's gonna have a foothold in this business.
And you and I both know how that ends.
You're everything I ever wanted.
Don't let our daughter become you.
(tender dramatic music)
I'll leave the business, I promise.
No, you won't, my love.
I will.
Don't!
(pistol fires) (groans)
(soft dramatic music)
No-no-no.
No, no.
Go back to the plane!
*
(crying)
(dramatic music)
*
No, please.
You're not gonna kill me in front of my daughter.
If you really love her,
say you never found me.
You tried to kill her.
I was 15 feet away from her.
I never missed a target from that distance in my life.
And I would never hurt her like you did.
(sirens wailing distantly)
*
POTE: Teresa, if you don't kill her now,
she'll come after you with everything she got.
(approaching sirens wailing)
There's $10 million on the plane.
Take it.
And get out of here while you can.
Where's Guero?
He'll meet us at the meet point.
Get the money and go.
Let's go.

Did you pay them?
KING GEORGE: I paid 'em.
You're all good with El Santo,

Federales are closing in.
We can't stay here.
Get yourself to the ship,
and we'll meet you there at dusk.
Let's go.

Where are you?
Hey, look, I'm on my way to the meeting spot,

I love you.
I love you too.

WOMAN (on TV): (speaking Spanish)
(soft brooding music)
WOMAN (on TV): (continues speaking Spanish)
Mom?
Isabela, go to your room.
*
You tried to kill me behind my husband's back.
And now,
you have the nerve
to come to his home
and stand in front of his grieving widow.
Know this,
you'll never leave this house alive, Colonel.
*
Forgive me,
mi jefa.
I admit
I did send sicarios after you in Dallas.
CORTEZ: But you were his weakness.
You have always been the smarter,
more powerful partner.
And I ask that in your grief,
you allow me to serve you.
How would you serve me?
Together, we will
take back your business from Boaz Jimenez.
And we will rebuild the Vargas Cartel
to its apotheosis.
And when we do that,
together,
we will get our revenge on the person
who took Epifanio from us.
Why should I ever give you my trust?
You will give me nothing.
I will earn your trust.
Or I don't deserve it.
May I begin with a gift?
(speaking Spanish)
