Queen of the South

Previously on "Queen of the South"...

That's County Sheriff Jed Mayo.

Harassing illegals is his favorite hobby.

Good news is...

- He's for sale. - Sheriff Mayo.

- What do you know about Mayo? - He's setting up

roadblocks on your routes.

What if I could do something about him?

You get the sheriff to stand down,

you can write your own ticket.

Vámonos.

Sheriff Mayo is in critical condition.

If he survives, we're done.

La Comisión will come after us hard.

Pote, open the door.

- No, Teresa, you need to rest. - Open the door, Pote!

Isabela is still sneaking out to meet with Kique Jimenez.

Isabela's disobedience is putting her at risk.

If we were to kidnap the boy,

then we could use him.

Do it, but no one can harm him

under any circumstances.

I will send my most disciplined men.

Whatever you've done you don't need to hide from me.

We're in this together.

I'm rolling the dice on you, Teresa.

You won't regret it.

Follow me.

Pull over! You're gonna get us killed.

We can't lose the load. We need this.

Enough is enough!

Listen, nobody wants war.

But sometimes we don't have a choice.

We have a choice.

This isn't our war. It's theirs.

Pecas has us living hand-to-mouth.

Now, these people are offering us a partnership.

When they take over Phoenix,

we'll have better terms,

finally be able to build the new schools and clinics.

And what good are those new schools and clinics

if our children are slaughtered?

With the Comisión, we have peace.

- No bloodshed. - He's right.

- This is bullshit. - You guys aren't seeing

wider than this picture. We have to get out there!

We can't even trust them!

I think it's time for us to go.

- He's right! This is bullshit. - Just a second.

We deserve more than you can even imagine.

I would like to speak to them.

Don't tell us that. You need to shut up.

- Please. - What they're offering

- we can have for our children. - We don't know.

Hey, everyone, listen up. Listen up.

Hey!

Our guest has something to say.

Like you,

I got into this business to survive.

I thought if I played by the rules,

I'd be okay.

It doesn't work that way.

We must decide where to draw the line.

Easy for you to say when we're the ones doing the fighting...

And dying.

If we do this right,

there won't be any dying.

Pecas isn't gonna hand you

the keys to the corridor without a fight.

He won't have a choice.

We'll cut off the Comisión's supply

through your reservation at the border crossing,

and we'll smuggle the product to Phoenix,

where I'll be the only supplier in town.

They will be forced to do business on our terms.

Camila has a load coming through this morning.

If we prevent her from passing,

she'll know we're allied.

There'll be retribution.

My smuggler's already on his way.

By the time Camila figures out what happened,

a deal will have been made.

And if the Comisión refuses...

I'm exposed.

It will mean war.

I know it's a risk.

But if we do this,

together we can win.

We will run Phoenix.

This is the third time I call him.

Well, you tell the general that the governor of Sinaloa

wants to speak with him immediately.

Isabela.

What's wrong?

Mom, Kique's missing.

He hasn't answered his phone, and no one has seen him.

Well, he's... he's probably with his father.

He wouldn't leave without telling me.

We were supposed to meet up, and he didn't show.

I-I know something bad has happened.

- I can feel it. - Isabela.

I will do everything within my power to find him.

Okay?

I know you will, mami.

Camila's truck should be along any minute.

I know you're still pissed about what happened yesterday.

I'm not angry.

When you worked for Epifanio,

did you ever disagree with an order?

Of course.

But you never locked him in a cellar.

You would never disrespect a man like that.

I had no choice.

You were not eating or sleeping.

You were acting crazy. You wouldn't listen to anyone.

I wouldn't listen to James.

You're different.

Our relationship is different.

- If you'd have been honest... - I tried.

No.

You tricked me.

Then you did what you thought was best.

You're my friend, Pote.

You're right.

And I'm sorry.

I promise it will never happen again.

We can never hide the truth from each other.

I made a mistake.

But please, don't question my loyalty.

'Cause I live and die with you, Teresita.

We're family.

We live and die with each other.

Heads up.

Camila's truck.

Right on time.

Welcome to the United Cartels of America, pendejos.

Homeland Security. How may I direct your call?

There's a black cargo truck filled with cocaine

heading north to the 10 freeway.

Arizona license plate

QVG 2108.

Please tell me you found her.

No.

We have another problem.

Our shipment was busted an hour ago

by Homeland Security.

- Where? - Just south of Phoenix.

You understand the situation this puts us in.

When I agreed to an alliance, assurances were made.

Yeah. On both sides.

You assured me you would take care of Teresa.

You failed.

And this is the result.

You're suggesting Teresa had something to do with this?

Oh, yeah. It's her.

The only question is...

Which one of your Comisión members helped her?

That's a serious accusation.

Someone tipped her to the shipment.

You control the Phoenix corridor.

Therefore you're responsible.

I still expect to be paid...

On time

and not a dollar short.

It sounds like we have a mutual enemy.

You got any idea who tipped her?

Taza.

The Indian?

Teresa reached out to him.

He must have taken the bait.

Huh.

Well, that figures.

He's with her now.

Helping the bitch that put a bullet in your back

and left you for dead.

Yeah, well, he's a...

good-looking son of a bitch, that Indian.

Might be kind of tricky to go after him, though.

He's got hisself a stronghold out there on that reservation.

He can't hide forever.

He'll have to stick his head out eventually,

and you can put a bullet in it...

Him and Teresa.

It's a shame

Teresa didn't run when she had the chance.

She likes the desert so much.

Now I'm gonna have to bury her in it.

Her and her damn Indian.

No problems in Mexico.

It was clear all the way from the port.

Okay, good.

- What's up with her? - Wine cellar.

She's still upset about that?

What do you think?

How was the trip?

Ah, G.I. James led us on a circuitous route,

but we got here in one piece.

We got the coke over the border.

Now all we got to do is get it to Phoenix.

Bazookas and blow.
