Queen of the South

Previously on Queen of the South...

What's Castel doing here?

Well, you know, in this line of work,

there's an enemy in every corner.

That doesn't mean we need to create them

where they don't exist.

I bet on you, Teresa.

And I appreciate that you did.

I'll let you know when the next shipment is ready.

I'm a big fan of what you did with Lafayette.

I did what I had to do.

I personally think that it is bullshit

that Teresa came down on you so hard about it.

I mean, after everything that happened with Javier

I miss my primo every day.

I had to go to Taza's reservation.

The south border is the entry point

for all distribution into Phoenix.

My Bolivian product is better than theirs.

I'm rolling the dice on you, Teresa.

You won't regret it.

It's Teresa. Please don't hang up.

Lucien is dead.

I'm doing everything I can to get you out of there.

You can keep your coke and your bullshit apologies.

I'd rather my people starve

than be in business with you.

So y'all are saying we own the waterfront property

but not the road leading up to it?

It turns out Shaker and Bledsoe buy it back every time

for half of what they paid for it.

Let's treat them like gangsters.

You have power of attorney in absence of your partner.

What do you mean "in absence of your part"...

Escrow closed.

You have the waterfront and the roadway.

Good.

Retailers in Little Haiti

are cutting your product with fentanyl.

I really wish you hadn't come in here, Sundance.

Don't you...

Pendejo...

It's impressive.

My restaurant is gonna be right there in the lower level.

Potemkin's Cantina.

I didn't think she'd pull it off.

Well, Teresa doesn't take no for an answer.

Especially not from us.

You boys clean up nicely.

Thank you.

I'm still not sure we should be having this party

at a safe house.

We're finally breaking ground on the waterfront

you know, the legitimate phase of our business-,

and we got to schmooze with the fancy government officials.

She's gonna be showing her other associate

that she's connected.

Exactly.

But I'm not putting away my guns.

I wouldn't ask you to, love bug.

Just make sure they're hidden, okay?

Orale.

Who's that?

Telemarketer.

I was hoping it'd be Marcel.

Dumas?

Yeah, all the charges got dropped,

and he was supposed to be released today,

so I sent him an invite to the party.

You think the first thing that Dumas is gonna do

after getting out of prison is come into a party

full of government people?

To celebrate Teresa?

They didn't exactly leave on the best terms.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Well, I'ml'm gonna choose to be optimistic.

You all right, man?

How was it in there?

My gosh!

Teresita.

Let's go.

Whoa.

Adiós, George.

Teresa Mendoza.

I'm coming for you next, perra.

I'm coming for you next.

Jerome Thibodeaux, executive director

of the Boys & Girls Club.

Ronald Phillips

he's the Commissioner of the Ninth Ward.

Claire McGirr back there, she's the ombudsman.

What about Castel?

Nothing yet.

I meant to tell you. Dumas got out.

- When? - Couple hours ago.

But we haven't heard from him.

We won't.

Good evening, everyone.

Most of you know me.

Some of you like me.

As city council president, I wanted take a moment

to propose a toast

to our lovely host, Teresa Mendoza,

and thank her for the life-changing donation

to the Boys & Girls Club of New Orleans.

Ms. Mendoza's generosity is helping

the neediest people in our community.

And with this real estate development,

she's also ensuring that our beloved city

its best times are ahead of us.

Cheers.

- Hear, hear. - Cheers.

New Orleans has been very welcoming to me.

And I'm very grateful.

Please make yourselves at home.

Cheers.

This is Sebastián Muñoz.

Hola.

I was expecting Castel.

She sends her regrets

that she could not be here in person.

I can relay any message you have.

Let her know that I made a new arrangement in Europe

and I'll need to double what we're already doing.

If she's interested, I need to speak to her.

That will not be possible.

I will convey your message to her and get back to you.

Was there anything else?

No. That's all.

I'll be in touch.

I don't like that Castel didn't show.

What do you think that's about?

I don't know.

Teresa.

Osvaldo Ruiz.

Jefa

congratulations on all your success.

Gracias.

Your house is, awesome.

Thank you for coming.

Um

I heard the politician's toast.

They love you around here.

Are you enjoying New Orleans?

The hotel suite is the nicest place I've ever stayed at.

Very friendly.

I appreciate how you've been overlooking Sinaloa.

And I wanted to thank you in person.

It's been a real honor, jefa.

Boaz set me up

real good.

Good.

How long have you known him?

Ooh...

We used to boost cars for a chop shop in Culiacán.

Yeah, he even dated my little sister for a summer.

Until she got smart and left him and married a doctor.

Jefa, I don't know if you noticed,

but Boaz has a

big temper.

That's an understatement, cabrón.

He's busy in Miami.

It's good to know we have someone in Mexico

that we can trust.

Of course.

You can always trust me, jefa.

I'm your man.

Gracias.

It was a pleasure to finally meet you.

Please enjoy the party and the rest of your time

in New Orleans.

Let us know if you need anything.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Gracias.

Well, we haven't had any problems

since he started overseeing in Mexico.

And he knows Boaz is a nut, so

maybe he'd jump at the possibility

of taking the spot permanently.

Let's keep him close.

Orale.

Nothing from Dumas.

You're right. He's not gonna show.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Thanks again for keeping the trains running

while I was away.

I appreciate it.

Let's hope I never have to do it again.

Right?

That makes two of us.

You want to get going?

Mendoza's party is tonight.

I figured we'd show our faces.

I'll pass.

Hey, you sure about that?

She flexing.

It'd be smart to stay on her good side.

She has no good side.
