Queen of the South

Previously, on "Queen of the South"...

Arizona's carved up by five narcos.

They're called La Comisión. They meet on Taza's territory,

but it's Pecas who calls the shots.

Perhaps you'd be better off

taking your business out of Arizona while you still can.

What if I brought something else to the table?

Well, I'm sure we could think of something.

We could have allies against Pecas.

Give me one good reason I shouldn't deliver you

to Pecas right now.

Because you need me more than you need him.

Cochi's got some great skills with the knife, no?

Isabela is still sneaking out

to meet with Kique Jimenez.

- If we were to kidnap the boy... - Do it.

But no one can harm him under any circumstances.

Isabela cannot know that it's me that gave the order.

I would lose her forever.

Are you sure you want to know?

I'm going to make my mother pay.

Now, how much dinero is it going to cost me...

We've got Pecas in the north, Camila to the south.

- We can't win. - There is a way.

We have to make a deal with Mayo.

You're going after Pecas.

Don't even think of betraying me.

The video of you beating that inmate will go viral.

Am I going to take the shot, or not?

No, we wait.

When the time is right, we'll kill them all.

Wipe out the Comisión? Are you sure about this?

Look what they did to Lil T and Tonto.

Those cabrones hit us first.

So we hit them back.

Pecas will be expecting retaliation.

So will the rest of the Comisión.

We need to take them all at once.

Bedoya is the weak link.

He owns a mattress shop... he's vulnerable.

It won't be easy to get to the others.

We have to turn Bedoya against La Comisión.

- We need leverage. - We'll set him up.

Pote and I will make a drop off at Bedoya's shop.

He'll bring them to us.

Thank you.

There she is. Damn, little mama.

You clean up nicely. I like that dress.

Thank you. I like yours, too.

This reminds me of the day we first met.

All these rich white people.

You were one of them, remember?

How was I supposed to know one day,

we'd be running a winery together?

Welcome. Name and affiliation, ladies.

Priscilla Haines, representing

the Women Entrepreneurs for Progress.

- Teresa Herrera. - Thank you.

Well, I tell you that story, because after that,

I thought I had had my fill of fighting in Afghanistan.

When I found myself back home, I was fighting again.

This time, for the people of Maricopa County,

as their district attorney.

And as your next Senator, I pledge to you that next time,

I'll be fighting for the entire state of Arizona.

I know we're down in the last week.

I can't do it alone. I'm going to need your help.

So thank you all for coming out.

Please enjoy yourselves.

He's your key to Phoenix,

and that is how you're going to take down the Comisión.

Isabela.

Isabela, I had nothing to do with it.

You have to believe me. Isabela, please.

I have nothing to say to you

unless you're going to tell me the truth.

I gave Cortez the order to kidnap Kique.

To bring his father out of hiding.

I never gave the order to kill him.

I would never do something like that to you, Isabela.

If you didn't kill him, who did?

Cortez.

I never should have trusted him.

I should have listened to you.

And now, I'm paying the price for this.

Why hurt Kique? It doesn't make sense.

Cortez wants to turn you and everybody else against me.

Cortez wants me out, so he can take my business.

What are you going to do?

I'll move against him soon.

All I know is that now...

You and I...

we can only trust each other.

Let me do a press conference.

Kique was my fiancé.

If I defend you, maybe that will help.

I'll do it at the orphanage. That will make a statement.

That will work.

Thank you.

We have to spin this, Mami.

If what you say about Cortez is true,

we have to fight back.

I'm so sorry.

- Hey. - It's me.

We're at Bedoya's shopping. We're making the dropoff now.

Plan's in motion. He won't see this coming.

Okay, be careful.

- You too. - Bye.

Hey.

That's Judge Jack Garvey. He's a Democratic Committeeman.

I need to speak with Carson alone.

Girl, I'm on it.

Yeah, well, it's the redistricting.

- That's what's killing us. - You are preaching

to the choir, but there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

- Yeah, well... - Judge Garvey, how are you?

Uh, I'm sorry, have we met?

I'm sorry, where are my manners?

I'm Priscilla Haines.

This is my good friend Teresa Herrera.

- Pleasure to meet you, sir. - Hi, I'm Judge Jack Garvey.

Oh, and uh, you probably know our man of the hour.

District Attorney Theo Carson.

And with a little luck, our next Senator.

- How do you do, ladies? - Nice to meet you.

- Thank you so much for coming. - Of course.

Listen, Judge Garvey, I would love to pick your brain

about the small business ballot measure in the East Valley.

Um, I noticed that your drink is empty.

What do you say we get you rehydrated first?

Okay.

Why do I feel like we just got set up on a blind date?

Okay, I think you might have rescued me,

because that old man can listen to himself talk all day.

What politician doesn't?

And what is it that you do, Ms. Herrera?

Have you heard of the Perla Blanca vineyards?

The new winery off the 115. Yeah, do you work there?

I own it.

I think I can help you with your campaign.

I think this is a good time to loop in my campaign manager.

I'd like to keep this between us, if possible.

And Mrs. Judge Garvey III has returned, awkward.

Excuse me, guys. These darn allergies.

Um, you might want to take care of your friend.

She's pretty loaded.

It's been a pleasure, ladies. Will you please excuse me?

Sure.

- What? - Let's go to the restroom.

Okay.

- You're high. - What?

- No. - Don't lie to me.

You've been using.

I... I took like, a couple of bumps.

But I've been having these, like, panic attacks

ever since those people came to the winery.

I mean, they wine-boarded me, for God sake.

I just was doing a little bit to take the edge off.

I don't know, maybe that's just an excuse.

But I'm sorry. I'll pay you back for...

I don't care about the money.

This deal is important for all of us.

- You know what's at stake. - I know.

So don't talk to anyone, okay? Go back to the house.

You have to get your head clear.

I'll talk to you soon.

Okay.

My orders were very specific. Kique was not to be harmed.

And I told you, he wasn't. Not by me nor by any of my men.

The manner in which the body was found,

the intent was clearly to sully you in the eyes of the public.

You know this was Teresa.

Teresa will never come back to Mexico again.

If she has, then we have

the perfect way to strike against her.

The Colombians are concerned

about the attention Kique's death is drawing to me.

Castel wants to meet.

This won't take long.

You know, my daddy died in a nuthouse.

And General Alligator Face here thinks he's calling the shots.

It's nice to have an adult to deal with.

Go on now, run along. Your momma's here.

Oh, bring it, gator boy.

You know I'm ready.

The General tells me you have information

about Teresa Mendoza.

Well, since we're finished with all the pleasantries,

let's, uh, open the door to negotiations, shall we?

Let's.

Okay, I'm going to be there in two seconds.
