Previously on Queen of the South...
Sinaloa has a right to know who you are.
What?
Isabela has a right to know about your hypocrisy.
- Where's Cole? - Do I know you?
You know exactly who I am.
Teo did a good job of hiding your ownership
in shell corporations.
I'll give you 3 million for 100 keys.
If all goes well with my customers,
I'll take the rest of it and deliver 27 million.
How would you like to own my business?
I will sell it to you.
_
Teresa Mendoza. This is Agent Loya.
Our offer's still on the table
if you choose to cooperate against Camila.
- Are you okay? - Only if you have a gun.
Look what we have here.
Camila Vargas, you're under arrest.
Next in line.
What do you need me to do?
You're gonna cover for me.
Keep things status quo while I'm here.
Work alongside James.
Whatever you need, I'm ready.
Yes. You are, Teresa.
You're here because of me.
I called the DEA agent.
You saved my life.
Again.
I just made a deal.
You'll get extra protection in here.
You think we can trust them?
I mean, if we bought them, someone else can too.
Our guy in the Sheriff's Department trusts him
You'll be safe.
Cole said it's a bad search.
You'll be out in a couple days.
Until then, you and Teresa
will be working together, holding up things.
The priority is to assure our associates
that everything's well.
Excuse me.
I'll be right back.
The minute I'm gone, you end up in here?
She's not ready, Camila.
I can handle the business alone.
If it wasn't for Teresa,
we wouldn't have anything worth protecting.
Hi. Excuse me.
Where you from?
You got a lot of balls, coming at a stranger like that.
That woman I was talking to,
she comes from a very important family in Sinaloa.
Lil Traviesa.
Lil T.
Teresa Mendoza.
I have business to discuss.
So let us get to it.
I'm selling all my business to you, Boaz.
You'll have complete ownership.
Colonel Cortez will remain as your operational partner.
Reynaldo will keep the pipeline
with the product coming from Colombia.
And I will retain no supervisory nor veto power,
as long as it doesn't
interfere with my duties as governor.
What if your duties include stopping my business?
Our people rely on the cocaine production
for their survival.
I'm a pragmatist.
I have no desire to end that.
Ss long as you conduct yourself
as a proper businessman,
we have no issues.
I'm sure Boaz understands
how profitable stability is
and will make a fine partner.
Being a cabrón is a choice.
But with all this money,
I'm sure I can be a nice guy.
I'm wondering, Governor,
when a great warrior decides to retire,
how long before he misses the thrill of the battle?
If he doesn't have the fight in him any longer,
never.
My family will be my priority, but...
I have one condition.
Camila is in jail, and her business will be crippled.
You did an excellent job, Colonel.
You may continue going after her business,
but not her life.
Ever.
Congratulations, gentlemen.
We will celebrate this...
and our new union with a charreria
at my brother's ranch.
A gentlemen's affair.
I look forward to it.
Let me take the lead with George.
Anything about Camila, it's just a blip on the radar.
Maybe I can help. He trusts me.
He knows I'm her right hand.
We get this and we go.
Whoa-boy!
Whoo!
Whoo-boy!
There she is!
Come on, Bilal.
I got company.
T-Rex!
Oh!
Bilal, go check on the shipment!
I miss you, girl.
Hi, George.
Oh, it's nice of y'all to visit.
I thought Camila might have been
keeping you in the cage with her.
About that, she'll be out in 48 hours.
It's a bullshit charge.
Business is status quo.
Oh, status quo, huh?
What say you, princepesa?
I got your assurances on that?
Yeah.
Well, hell,
if Leia says let it ride,
then I'ma put all my chips on the fu... in' table.
Who's the Wookie?
No offense meant, brother.
Chewbacca's the single greatest wingman
in the history of the universe.
Oh, come on! Let's do some business.
_
What's wrong?
_
We got a problem.
No! No! No!
God damn it!
The hell!
No! No! No! No!
They killed my men and took the shipment!
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
Bilal!
I looked all around. The cargo's gone.
Our entire shipment from El Santo.
El Puño
was Boaz Jimenez's main enforcer.
I took care of him when you guys were down in La Paz.
This...
is payback.
We'll take care of it.
We'll get you more protection...
I don't give a rat's ass about your cocaine!
That's my boys down there!
We have commitments, payments to El Santo.
Motherfu... er.
Hey.
You don't want to threaten me.
I want to burn you down right here!
George. Look at me.
This is not about business.
These were your friends.
Whoever did this is going to pay for it.
We're gonna handle it.
You bet you are.
Why the DEA would blow their wad
on this mosquito-bite charge is beyond me.
It's textbook bad search.
They planted the gun
and a whole whopping eighth of an ounce of coke.
Neither of which they can prove is yours.
It's laughable.
It's still a felony.
But you're a first-time offender.
You have 48 hours till your bail hearing,
and then you go free.
The prosecutor
will drop the indictment, and the DEA knows this.
This will crumble, Camila.
Have you spoken to your wife yet?
Not yet.
We have nothing to worry about with her.
She confronted me.
She knew where we were meeting, and when.
Somebody fed her that information.
Uh, Kelly Anne knows
what crossing me will get her.
I've got you covered.
Well, I didn't say your protection
would come without a cost.
I'm gonna need to think about this.
Keep looking for alternatives.
If the DEA does come up with something on your business
in the next 48 hours,
this... is your only option.
I'm not a stupid woman.
I'm a Longhorn with a law degree.
And I live a lifestyle that most people would kill to have.
And you don't get those things by being a stupid woman.
Kelly Anne, what did you do?
Um.
I confronted Camila Vargas.
After you showed me that picture
of her and my husband.
And I... I followed him, and I waited.
And obvious... she... she denied everything.
But then I went home and I saw on the news
they're just slaughtering people.
They're just slaughtering people like sheep.
And I don't know what the fu... I'm supposed to do!
- It's okay. Okay! - What am I supposed to do...
Okay. It's okay.
Take a seat. It's okay.
You made a mistake.
Now, I can protect you,
but I'm gonna need your help to do it.
Okay.
We're looking for a smoking gun.
Paperwork connecting Camila to Colibri Trawlers.
Your husband's firm handled the deal.
Everything about the company's ownership records
are buried offshore.
But Cole might still have those papers in his possession.
So you want me to search my house,
because then you won't need a warrant.
If you find those papers, we keep Camila behind bars.
Then we'll talk about how we keep you safe in the long run.
Okay?
Boaz hit us 'cause he thinks Camila's weak.
I'm gonna arrange a sit-down with him.
We broke him out of DEA custody last year, so
that should earn us enough good will.
Strike a truce.
I mean, we need a deal, not more bloodshed.
Pote took out his enforcer.
This is not about money. It's personal.
It's always about money.
Till it isn't.
I think we should speak to Camila before...
There's no way.
So here's what's happening.
I'm gonna meet with him.
You're gonna sit tight. And that's it.
You don't need guns to sit tight.
I told Camila I wanted to be her partner.
She asked me to handle business while she was gone.
Are you with me?
Always the hard way.
Claro que sí.
I'm sorry to interrupt your business.
It's not business. This is pleasure.
I'm designing a home.
Architecture intrigues me.
I don't know much about it.
Oh, but you do.
The building is just like a business.
If the foundation is weak,
the structure will never be stable,
and eventually, everything will come tumbling down.
Camila's charges are weak.
She'll be out in a couple of days.
This won't affect our business.
Except for the disruption of her distribution routes
through Corpus Christi.
Give me one good reason
I shouldn't back out of this right now.
This is a temporary situation.
It's being handled.
- By you? - Yes.
The attack on our ships wasn't a setback.
It's an opportunity for both of us
to expand our business.
How so?
Guarantee me you won't stop distributing our product
and I'll tell you.
You asking me to close the deal
before you even pitched.
That's a rather bold move, Miss Mendoza.
It's not bold.
It's smart business,
for both of us.
My brother...
My brother used to love the horses.
Me? Not so much.
This place smells like shit.
_
Given the situation at hand,
I thought it best not to add fuel to the fire.
You struck while Camila was in prison,
because you think she's vulnerable.
Let me assure you, she's not.
And yet the blood of a dozen dead mayates
taints the waters,
while I benefit from the fruits
of a deal you made with the madman, huh?
An attack on our transportation
is a direct attack on us.
And that warrants retaliation.
But you're not here for that.
I'm here to save bloodshed on both sides.
And to make a deal which we can both benefit from.
_
The moment that your buyers try our product,
they won't go back to yours.
We got the connect with El Santo.
And one stolen shipment's not changing that.
So what are you proposing?
We'll not expand into your territory in West Texas.
And you and Epifanio will cease any and all moves
against our business immediately.
That's your offer?
I get to keep what I already have?
If this lasts for 60 days,
no moves on either side,
we can negotiate a wholesale
for some of the Bolivian product.
That's if you can move Epifanio.
_
Estamos.
Phoenix. Mesa. Scottsdale.
You don't fly there.
Too many independent contractors.
I don't do well with chaos.
Because it's run by Boaz Jimenez.
It's 30% of his business
that no one has challenged.
I have connections on the streets
that would take care of sales,
and muscle to back it up.
You got a street gang?
You've lined up infrastructure and some heat to protect it.
And with Las Sombras, we will have soldiers
in every single city in the Southwest.
We'll take his territory without firing even a single bullet.
Is this Camila's plan?
Mine.
Hm.
Camila underestimates you, Teresa.
We have a deal?
I'll have my people do some research
and take a look at the numbers.
Tell Camila the money will be delivered on schedule.
And our arrangement will continue as planned.
Let's go.
Camila Vargas.
Always heard you were a scary bitch.
What do you want?
Let's start
with whatever you have.
Make it weekly.
Call your friends.
I don't have any friends.
Sorry.
I can't help you girls.
Wrong answer.
Excuse me?
"I can't help you girls."
You think you're talking to your puta daughter?
You're dead now, bitch.
Looks like somebody fu... ed you up, esa.
She's with us.
Drop the shiv. Leave.
Before I put it in your eye!
Thank you.
Thank Teresa Mendoza.
She hooked this up.
_
Never better.
Yes, Colonel, please invite all your men to the celebration.
Listen, I'll have to call you back.
Oh, no! Mi'ja! Mi'ja!
Isabela.
No, mi'ja, no.
Oh. Mi'ja, no.
Help me.
Come on up.
That.
What's the matter with you?
Sorry.
I'm sorry. It... it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
Listen.
I'm giving it all up.
The entire business.
I'll just be governor,
and your father.
There will be no more crocodiles
for you to ever worry about.
I'm gonna do everything right.
Huh?
When I was little,
like five or six,
I... I used to stare out that window.
And you would ask me what I was thinking.
I remember.
I used to love that.
Tell me, mi'ja,
what is it that you are thinking about now?
Hm?
Mom.
When Cortez took her,
I thought he was gonna kill her.
I was so scared.
Lately,
everything just hurts.
You just rest, hm?
I'll just sit here right next to you.
You just rest.
Here's payment for next week,
in case you're still in.
The homies got you covered.
Them bitches know not to
even fu-in' look at Camila Vargas again.
Thank you.
And about that Arizona thing,
I talked to my uncle Big Travieso.
Your uncle's the boss?
El mero mero.
He took care of me when my moms got shot.
I'm sorry.
Not as sorry as the piece-of-trash
puto that shot her.
But Big T's down to talk.
He's been trying to mess with the cartels for a minute now.
Okay, I'll let you know.
And thank you again for taking care of Camila.
She won't forget it.
Neither will I.
Camila's lucky to have you. You one bad bitch.
See you soon.
- God, are you okay? - Yes.
Starting to feel like myself again.
What happened?
Some girls tried to kill me.
And then the women Teresa arranged to protect me,
they did their job.
I'm running out of ways to thank you.
Just glad you're okay.
Where are we with Devon?
- I spoke with him... - You spoke with him?
Yeah.
He was worried about you being in prison.
But the deal was too good.
And his first payment is on the way.
He'll take the rest of the metric ton in a week.
$30 million.
Well done.
Yeah.
We got some bad news.
Boaz hit King George.
Killed some of his men and stole a quarter of the shipment.
We need George's boats to make good on the deal.
I trust you struck back.
We don't want our rivals to think we're weak.
We don't have the resources to go to war right now.
So I sat down with him, came to some terms.
We're good.
You came to terms?
He's gonna stay out of our area. We won't expand into his.
Gets them off us, so we can operate
until we decide what we want to do next.
So he basically gave you permission
to do what we were already doing.
You've got enough going on in here.
What I did, I did to protect your interests.
I'm so fortunate I had Epifanio
and now you to do that.
I will clean up
the mess with Boaz when I get out.
And until then,
I want you to transport the money
that Teresa secured from Devon.
Keep the trains moving.
And no more judgment calls.
What's going on?
I told you to sit tight. You run to Devon.
I tell you I've got Camila's protection.
You go behind my back
and make deals with hoodrats.
And it worked.
Where were your people when they jumped her?
Devon is our money.
She said she wanted that locked down.
She's not thinking straight.
I've been protecting her since you were
scrambling for change in Culiacán,
waiting for that pretty boy pilot
to show up and save your ass.
Is this about business or something else?
I chose Camila. You chose Guero.
You know,
Camila likes you because she can control you.
But the truth is,
you are a sloppy, inexperienced girl
who lets her emotions affect her judgment.
No.
You're upset because I work with Camila.
And you work for her.
That's what you think.
- Hello? - Teresa, it's Kelly Anne,
um, Cole's wife.
Uh, listen, I know this is out of the blue,
but you need to come to my house as soon as you can.
Kelly Anne, I'm sorry, but this is really not a good time...
Teresa, please, I need you to come see what I found right now
or you might end up in prison.
_
So we are in agreement over the terms we have discussed.
Estamos.
Your wife's product,
excellent.
Don't worry.
Shipment from La Paz has been interrupted.
We didn't hurt nobody.
That mattered.
Come on, hurry. Get in.
What is this?
These are the ownership documents
filed in the Cayman Islands for Camila's Trawler company.
Why is my name all over these?
Because, uh,
according to this, you own Colibri Trawlers.
I never signed these papers.
This has to be fake.
Well, it's overseas, but it's a legit,
legal-filed corporation,
and they can hang you with this.
Camila's trying to set you up
to take the fall for her business.
Why are you showing this to me?
We're both in deep shit because of them.
I figure maybe we can help each other out.
This had to be Cole.
Oh, God, he's home.
He's supposed to be at work.
Come on. Go-go-go.
Whoa, no-no-no! There's an alarm.
Listen to me. You go out there.
Disarm the alarm and distract him, okay?
- That's... - Please, Kelly Anne, go.
- Okay, okay. - Just go.
Hey, what's going on, darling?
You look a little flushed.
No, I j... I thought you had that meeting.
So I didn't think you were gonna be home till later tonight.
Well, surprising my bride should be a good thing.
Come here.
Ow. OW!
- Let go of my... - Why is my office alarm off?
- Let me... - Why? Why?
Who have you been talking to?
Let go of me.
Let her go.
I said let her go.
You set me up.
You're as clueless as she is.
Set you up?
That was your boss's idea.
What about the other paperwork in Camila's name?
That's to protect me.
See, you and I, we work for the same person.
And only one of us is stupid enough
to think that Camila
won't throw you to the wolves to save her own ass.
- Don't call her stupid... - Bitch!
The only thing your ungrateful,
traitorous ass needs to do
is pack your shit now,
or pray she kills me.
Let's talk turkey.
Maybe we put the gun down,
figure a way out for all parties involved.
Felicidades, Colonel.
_
Are you all right?
Yes.
It's... it's a lot of excitement today.
But I'll have plenty of time to relax very soon.
You know,
I still cannot comprehend
how do you walk away from your life's work?
My life's work's my family.
And their failures are my own.
You are far too hard on yourself, compa.
You once called Camila
my weakness.
And you were correct, Colonel.
Had anyone else done the things that Camila did
on our so-called war,
the solution would have been obvious.
Get rid of her once and for all.
My heart didn't let me do this.
But apparently your sicarios in Dallas
had no such obstacle.
The word I received is that they tried to
take her life.
So you think I defied you by ordering this.
Oh, no. No, my friend.
I've seen you in action.
If you had truly wanted her death,
it would have happened.
_
We all die at some point.
_
Epi.
Okay, we need some help in here right now.
No-no-no-no, I don't want to dampen the celebration.
I just need to get some fresh air.
_
I can't have this mess.
'Cause Cole... he's... he's so... he's just so damn anal.
They get little spots and he doesn't... he just...
- he hates... - Hey, you're okay.
They're all gonna come after me.
Camila, the DEA, everybody, they're all gonna come after me.
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Listen to me, okay?
As soon as my friend is done, you're gonna come with me.
I will keep you safe.
You're gonna be fine.
Why would you do that for me?
Because I know how to survive.
Trust me.
Nice shot for a gabacha.
I need you to watch her for me.
I have to speak to Camila about this paperwork.
You think she set you up.
Why are you going there?
I need to see it in her face.
I'm glad you're here.
You know, Cole hasn't answered my phone calls,
and that has me worried.
Maybe you can reach out to his wife?
- Do something. - I don't need to.
She reached out to me.
And?
She found paperwork
on some of your companies
in a safe
in Cole's office.
Hm.
He put everything in your name.
Oh.
Why would he do that?
I don't know.
Maybe he was just trying to protect himself,
in case the DEA came after him.
Did she say anything else?
Anything about the trawler company?
No.
That's all she said.
I know that's the thing that
would put you in prison for life.
Should I have her look for it?
No.
The DEA is all over her.
I want you to be safe.
Why would Kelly Anne call you
and show you all this?
She thinks you're having an affair with her husband.
Are you?
With my attorney?
Never.
I know better than that.
And after everything I've done for you,
you should know better than to ask me that.
Teresa,
I trust you more than anyone.
I would never lie to you.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
These are stressful times.
You've done well.
I'm proud of you.
I'll be out soon.
There's so much work to do together.
Much to celebrate.
I look forward to it.
Yeah. Me too.
I have to go.
Take care.
Niños.
