Queen of the South

Previously on Queen of the South...

Where do I know you from?

I was Guero's girlfriend.

You have proven you can be relied upon

to do what I need.

I want to be part of the business.

- Would you die for me? - I'll survive for you.

Oh, my God.

- Did you know he was alive? - No.

Look, you shouldn't have come back for me,

but you didn't leave me behind, and I won't forget it.

Get down!

I'm turning over my business to you, Boaz.

Colonel Cortez will remain as your operational partner.

I'm gonna marry him. It'll be an alliance,

our families working together.

Colonel Vargas, you're under arrest.

The DA agent that arrested you has been suspended,

and all charges against you will be dropped.

I'm leaving Camila, starting off on my own.

There's a better way of doing this

than the way she does, without all this killing.

What do you want, Teresa?

Half of the product from El Santo.

The only think you'll get from me is a bullet.

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.

Don't!

Agh!

There's $10 million on the plane.

Get the money and go.

Federales are closing in. We can't stay here.

I'm on my way to the meeting spot,

but I got a little bit of heat on me.

- I love you. - I love you too.

Guero's not here yet.

Let's go.

Mom?

Isabela, go to your room.

Together, we will get our revenge

on the person who took Epifanio from us.

Epifanio was a man of the people.

I will capture the wicked criminal

who destroyed my family.

I'm sure you've heard the saying,

"The ends justify the means."

Most people think that's cruel.

In my case...

it's another day at the office.

Lucky for me,

I have people who handle the means.

And when enemies come,

there are two choices...

Fight or flee...

Or so we think.

In business,

deceit is a valuable currency.

It pays to stay one step ahead.

And a well-set trap can be the difference

between another sip of tequila and the barrel of a gun.

Call me crazy, but I prefer the tequila.

How are you doing over here all by yourself?

Is there anything else I can offer you?

Hey, Ivan, I got your message about the password.

Yeah, look, I know this is time sensitive.

Very.

I have a shipment coming in tomorrow in the morning.

Which will greatly increase your cash on hand, yeah.

I'm trying to set up a meeting with the banker, de la Peña.

If everything goes well,

I'm gonna open an account with him.

Ah, the cryptocurrency guy. That's cool.

Here's the thing, I can send you a program

that will generate a password,

but even the best of 'em can be hacked,

and I should know.

What do you suggest?

You need to make sure your system is secure.

You know, I'm even better at this stuff in person,

and I'm guessing that Malta

is way better than my shitty condo.

Thank you, Ivan.

I'm gonna send your payment now, okay?

I'll talk to you later.

You were a fool to think you could escape me.

You stupid...

stupid girl.

To catch a beast,

all you need is a little fresh meat.

The waiter called us right when he saw you.

Governor Vargas, you were elected six months ago,

in the wake of your husband's murder,

at the hands of an alleged cartel soldier.

Teresa Mendoza killed my husband in cold blood.

Mendoza remains a fugitive,

yet the DEA's drug charges against you have been dropped.

Well, the charges were dropped

because evidence was planted in my vehicle.

Allegedly planted.

DEA agent Alonzo Loya remains suspended,

pending further investigation.

Suspension is not enough for what I endured.

I was falsely imprisoned, and I nearly lost my life.

But, you know, I think we should talk about

how we're gonna win this war,

and I believe the only way to do so is we...

we have to fight corruption,

take it away from its roots.

You know, my focus as a governor is to stop the drug flow

from my country into the United States.

Governor, your critics claim

you're simply doing nothing more

than riding the coattails of your husband's popularity.

In fact, your approval ratings

remain far lower than his.

Well, I have to prove myself.

But I serve

the people of Sinaloa that elected me,

not the press.

I think we're done here.

Thank you so much.

How are my birds doing?

They were shot down on the U.S. side of the border.

We gave Boaz our assurances they would be safe.

There will be blowback.

I'll handle Boaz.

What about our pending matter in Europe?

Teresa's Bolivian product is turning up

all over the continent.

My sources say it hit Italy first.

It was also found in Spain and Malta.

I'll dispatch men to investigate.

Good.

I hope she's living in a hole,

like a rat.

Hey.

You're late for dinner.

I was working.

Really? On what?

Skyping with the tech guy in the U.S.

I'm heading back home soon.

Well, make it fast.

This soppa tal-armla is almost ready.

I have no idea what that is.

It's a traditional Maltese dish.

It's like a menudo minus the pig.

But the pig is the best part.

Hold on. I'll call you right back.

It's Teresa Mendoza.

I found her.

Camila...

you look lovely as always.

Gracias.

- You remember my niece, Castel. - Of course.

- Hola. - Hola.

I understand you work for your uncle now.

I work with him, yeah.

Uh, we'll talk business later.

I'm here for Isabela, and here she is now.

- Hola, padrino. - Cómo estás, mi amor?

Thank you for coming all this way.

- Felicidad. - Gracias.

- Mom? - Yes.

Kique's dad is really late.

Maybe we could start without him.

Of course.

Kique, join us.

- Gracias. - Salud!

Salud!

Orale...

Heh?

Heh?

Salud!

- Salud! - Salud!

Gold-plated statue? Really?

Solid gold, to the core, Governor.

I've got money to burn, right?

And product too, que no?

What happened to your product was unfortunate.

Please accept our sincerest apologies.

Forget your apologies,

and tell me how the DEA knew about my shipment.

They must have surveillance.

Or a rat, Colonel. A rat.

It's General now.

Oh, I'm sorry, Colonel. General.

Who can tell the difference these days anyway?

I've already begun an investigation on

how the DEA knew the details of our operation.

You mean my operation.

It's my business now.

The only reason I'm giving you a cut

is because Epifanio was a gentleman.

You're not giving me anything.

I'm receiving...

a part of the cut,

because I am the governor,

and that's the way it's done.
