Queen of the South

Previously on Queen of the South...

You are the kindest,

sweetest man I've ever met.

You deliver 30 million,

and New Orleans will have herself

a new correctional facility.

Marcel isn't answering.

We need to find him before Lafayette does.

Why would the judge wanna frame Dumas?

Good to see you, Marcel.

Lucien, This woman is a major player.

Together, we got a shot.

I thought I taught you better than that, boy.

After all these years, you're just going to topple the judge?

You handed over my primo to the.

I want his head.

He killed my godson.

If I can wait, so can you.

There's been a second offer on the waterfront property.

The realtor just gave us 48 hours to counter.

Did Epifanio ever work with anyone in New York?

Someone who could handle this kind of weight?

I can handle the weight.

Can you handle the heat

that will come down from the Russians?

You jeopardized your business with my cousin.

It's time for me to meet him face to face.

I've seen these tats before.

We got a serious problem, Teresa the Russians.

Pote, turn around.

Gracias, Luis.

How did you find these men so fast?

James. They're ex-Mossad.

The Russians have an army. You do, too, now.

I'm Avi, ma'am. Follow me, please.

I set up 24-hour patrol on premises.

I personally vetted every man on my staff.

You're in very good hands.

- Thank you. - Ma'am.

Oksana wants to know what happened in New York.

Maybe you should give her a call.

Silence make people nervous.

Not until I talk to James.

Who are they?

Ex-FSB. Russian military.

The question is, who are they working for now?

Must be Kostya. Who else?

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

The agent just called and wants to know

if we're still gonna make a counteroffer on the waterfront.

Have you spoken to the banker?

Yeah, she set up the account, but we're still

$100 million short of the down payment.

Why doesn't she just give us a loan for the rest of the money?

Well, 'cause that's not how money laundering works.

So we send her money, and she gives it back to us in a loan.

If we want the down payment, we need to get her the cash.

Bankers are banditos.

Yeah. So, Kostya has already paid us.

If we're not gonna send him a second shipment,

how are we gonna come up with an extra

$100 million in one day?

Teresa.

You stood Kostya up after I pushed for your meeting.

Do you know the position that you put me in?

What is this?

These men came to kill me.

Do you recognize them?

I can tell by your silence you do.

Teresa, I don't...

Are you coming after me?

I'm sure there is an explanation.

I don't need an explanation.

Tell Kostya we're no longer in business.

It doesn't make any sense.

Kostya was happy with the first shipment.

Maybe Oksana's telling the truth.

I mean, she sounds as surprised as we were.

She's either setting you up,

or Kostya's making a move and not telling her.

It's George.

Kostya's next load is on the truck.

What do you wanna do, Teresita?

You wanna keep it here or send it to Miami to Boaz?

Send it to the Dominicans.

To Kostya's competition?

We can't lose the waterfront.

Kostya had his chance.

I'm done playing games.

Orale.

We're gonna need more Mossad.

How are you feeling?

Not bad, considering.

I want to thank you.

You risked your life by coming back.

You didn't have to.

Yeah, I did.

So, what are your plans?

I figured I'd start by checking out the security system.

That's not what I meant.

Are you staying?

Do you want me to stay?

You've done enough. I can't ask for more.

You didn't ask. And this is different.

These Russians are animals.

Yeah.

You should go.

Okay. I'll pack my bag.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Jefa.

We have a problem at the bar. It's the judge.

I'm here for Dumas.

I haven't seen him.

You told me to keep my distance.

Well, I've changed my mind.

Dumas trusts you. You can draw him out.

And why would I do that?

You bring me Dumas,

or you'll be the next Mexican I set on fire.

It's time for him to go, Teresita.

Pote's right.

He's reckless.

He's gonna try and hurt us however he can.

I have a nice plastic sheet waiting for him.

Not yet.

First, I want to take away his power,

expose how corrupt he is.

Destroy him.

Then we kill him.

Where are we on tracking his money?

I thought we stopped paying him after he kidnapped Oksana.

We did.

And then two months ago, he hit us up for $30 million.

He said it was a onetime fee, but Teresa figured

maybe he needed it for something specific,

so I hid a few traceable $100 bills in the judge's cash.

It's how banks catch robbers.

That's smart.

So we find out where the money goes,

then we know who the judge paid off.

We got him by the cojones.

I'll call our banker.

I need to talk to Marcel.

Make sure he knows we're on the same side.

He's gone underground, Teresita.

We haven't been able to reach him.

I need to get him a message.

I know you're in contact with Marcel.

I would like to speak with him.

Are you here for you or Lafayette?

I'm here for me.

But he's pressuring you, right?

His boys can't get my people to rat out Marcel,

so you're his proxy.

I'm only here to help him.

You gave up your own man to the judge.

They burned him alive.

How do I know you won't do the same to Marcel?

You better watch yourself, cabrón.

Marcel grew up at my knee.

I taught him everything that he knows,

but when you started whispering in his ear,

he forgot his own history.

He was tired of being under Lafayette's thumb.

Lafayette always wins in this town.

Which is why you are here.

And Marcel is not.

If I didn't know better,

I'd think you're calling me an Uncle Tom.

Please give him my message.

Thank you.

Where you going, cabrón?

I got places to be, Pote.

First, you have a tequila with me.

I never thanked you for sparing Kelly Anne.

Muchas gracias.

- Salud. - Salud.

Teresa must have been pissed we disobeyed her order.

I took some heat.

But some sicarios came after Tony.

You're kidding.

Long story, but Kelly Anne saved his life.

So Teresa let her stay.

And then what happened to him?

I dropped my guard.

Thought that we can be like normal people.

Sorry. You two were close.

Tony became like a son to me.

He was a good boy.

But this world is not for a child.

They make you weak and vulnerable.

And I promise you, never again.

After I lost Tony, everything changed.

So, what you gonna do now?

Just get lost for a while.

Get these hands clean, you know?

You risked your life to be here,

and you're gonna leave just like that?

She doesn't want me to stay.
