Previously on Queen of the South...

You're not going with your father.

I don't want to be with you!

How many have we lost?

All of them.

Camila needs product.

Entonces vamos a hacer un trato.

About those funds you requested,

I think I may have a work-around.

Teo was a risk to both of us.

Oh, my God.

You left me.

Look, Epifanio, he was...

he was on his way to kill me.

They had to do something, okay?

Who's "they"? The DEA.

Camila finds out about the DEA, she'll kill you.

Guero's gonna lead us to the mother lode. You watch.

I love you.

Hold on.

Epifanio needs me to do a run.

Screw him.

Let's stay in bed all day.

This is Marbella,

in la Costa del Sol de Espana.

It's beautiful.

You ever been?

Yeah, I flew a little hash

there once from Morocco.

Never stopped thinking about this place.

Let's go right now.

Screw Epifanio. Screw Epifanio.

You know how to fly.

Let's go.

That's the plan.

I can't do this forever.

Let's go. Let's do it.

Let's leave Culiacan.

I'll fly you anywhere you want to go,

anywhere in the world.

And maybe one day,

we can get ourselves a little house on the beach.

Just drink cold sangria,

make love all day in the sand.

How's that sound?

As long as I'm with you.

No.

I gots to go.

Stay.

I love you.

I love you too.

Stay.

I can't.

Hey, Chino,

we gotta move that coke fast, man.

You done cutting it yet?

Okay.

Get out!

Get out the plane.

Who the hell are you?

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Get in the car. Move!

Si�?

You don't know me, Teresa.

Guero's dead.

Get out of the house now.

Thank you.

She must be really special.

She is.

Epifanio blew up your plane

because you were stealing from him.

Yep.

For us, Teresa.

I did it for us so we could start over.

Go to Spain like we talked about?

Drink cold sangria and make love all day

in the white sand.

That's right.

It was a good plan, wasn't it?

I've been through so much.

I know.

I saw your bed at the warehouse.

How can I make this right?

Shit.

Miss Mendoza.

I'm Agent Loya. This is Agent Finnerman.

We're with the DEA.

Hey, I didn't...hey...

Hey... Don't touch me.

This wasn't me.

He didn't set you up...

if that's what you're thinking.

We followed him.

In my experience,

men are the weaker sex

when it comes to matters of the heart.

What do you want?

For you to cooperate in our investigation of Camila Vargas.

Miss Mendoza,

I know you're a good person in a bad situation.

And you're going to save me?

Camila Vargas

is a cold-blooded criminal

who uses loyalty as her currency.

Only way out is with a bullet.

It won't even be her that pulls the trigger.

I'd wager you've already got blood on your hands for her.

If I tell you anything,

what happens to me?

To Guero?

We'll put you both in witness protection.

United States government will keep you safe and sound.

Like you did in Culiacan?

If we didn't have surveillance on Epifanio Vargas,

your boyfriend would have been blown to pieces.

The fact is, the DEA

doesn't have anything concrete on you.

But my buddies over at ICE

would love to toss your illegal ass back to Mexico.

I wonder how long it'd take Epifanio to find you.

I'd give you 48 hours.

Understand this:

those people are not your friends.

And you can't afford any more enemies.

Where you been?

Went to get a few things.

For three hours?

Car overheated.

You springed a leak?

I'm not a mechanic.

Dinner's ready.

What?

Trying to lose a few pounds.

Thanks for the heads up.

I really appreciate you letting me know about it.

That was a former associate

that works for the Colombians now.

He just contacted me to let me know that Epifanio

is meeting with Reynaldo Fieto.

He's about to flood the Texas market with product.

And we're just about to get our Jimenez shipment.

It's not the best timing.

Well, Epifanio took out all of the lieutenants,

so I don't know who's moving the product.

But one thing's for certain,

we cannot allow them to reach Texas.

If we cut off their transport route,

his distributors will come crawling back to us.

We just need to confirm that his tunnel's active.

Well, if it is,

destroy it.

Take Teresa with you to the border.

Why?

Leave me in the kitchen like a pinche vieja?

No. I'll go instead of her...

No.

I need all my security at hand for protection.

Teresa,

you'll be less conspicuous with James.

I thought I was done with this type of work.

Epifanio thinks we're weak.

He's let his guard down.

When you're at war,

it's best to strike your enemy

when he least expects it.

Go now.

We got a long drive ahead of us.

We should get moving.

Thank you, Pote.

Be careful.

I'll start tomorrow.

Are you ready?

If the tunnel is still active,

it'll be surrounded by Epifanio's men.

You know he still wants to kill me.

You escaped my husband's wrath

since you fled Culiacan.

I have no doubt

your wits will keep you safe once more.

And if they don't?

We lost everything

and everyone that meant anything to us.

You mustn't question your value.

We only have each other now.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

And, Teresa,

acuerdate,

We're the same.

Never forget that.

Reynaldo,

and we have done very well together.

And you keep getting more and more handsome,

and I just get older and fatter.

You look as strong as ever.

Tell that to my wife.

She took me off meat.

I can't have salt.

I can't have sugar.

If she cuts me off the cerveza,

I'm not gonna have a reason to wake up in the morning.

I know about wives trying to take things away.

I have you beat, my friend.

Hm.

So you will understand my reticence.

All this turmoil, open violence,

it's like a lighthouse for competition.

Don't tell me you're getting soft.

Hm.

Now you sound like my wife.

My people count on me to mitigate risks.

How can I be sure my goods are safe in your hands?

Listen...

Don Reynaldo, forgive me,

but I do believe you're underestimating

the governor's power of imagination.

Your product

has never been more safe.

Really?

How is that?

The governor has been relentless

when it comes to security and innovation.

This is a toy.

These drones

offer the highest level of security

for an important businessman such as yourself.

In fact, they're being employed for protection

over Governor Vargas' entire property as we speak.

It shoots 15 photos per second.

And we can control it from over four miles away.

This... is not a toy.

No.

This is fantastic.

I am happy that you're happy.

Bueno. No, I'm not happy, I'm angry,

thinking about how much money it's going to cost

to hire a brilliant mind like this verraco.

Salud, mi hermano.

Salud.

Perdon.

What are you doing?

Sending Lado a pic of my chichis.

Boys want badass chingonas,

and not some prissy daddy's girl,

like you.

I gotta look respectable.

I'm a daughter of a governor now.

Bela, I know you are excited about the birthday,

but

I'm in a business meeting.

Hello, Olivia.

Happy birthday, mi'ja.

Thank you.

I love it. Mm.

Only the best for you, but, please,

keep the music down, okay?

Does he think you're having tea

with the Queen of England?

Hi.

Izzy, it's, uh, Mommy.

You know, I know we haven't talked in a while, but

I was just wondering

what are you doing for your birthday?

Maybe you can come visit me some time.

Call me, please.

Te quiero.

Te quiero mucho.

Camila, thank you so much for coming in the office.

Can I get you something to drink? A wat...

What's happening with the DEA?

Not much.

Just a couple of government hacks

sniffing around.

Well, I pay your firm a hefty amount

to ensure that my financial matters

are above board.

They are.

Mateo handled the purchase of

your trawler company flawlessly

and attorney-client privilege

protects you and your present dealings.

Which are?

Well, you're a legitimate businesswoman in Dallas.

As far as I'm concerned, any innuendo

that you're involved in criminal activity,

much less a drug cartel, is not only absurd,

it's libel-worthy.

Good.

Pardon me, it's one of my employees.

Yes?

We're walking to the tunnel now.

I ditched the car

a couple miles out in case they set up a perimeter.

But I'm losing cell signal.

Well, let me know when that's taken care of.

We should pick up the pace.

There's a lot of trouble we could face out here.

Border Patrol, militiamen, coyotes,

real coyotes.

There it is. It looks deserted.

Tunnel? Yeah.

It's under the van.

Is it active?

There's only one way to find out.

All right.

I'll wait for you here.

No, come.

Alto.

They're not just cartel guys.

How do you know that?

That search,

it's sharp and efficient.

And their weapons are military issue.

Epifanio has the Mexican army working for him.

Shh. Keep your voice down.

Just take deep breaths.

You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine.

I'm gonna splint your leg.

I don't want the poison to spread.

All right.

Okay.

How do you know this?

It's military.

I had combat first-aid training.

We need to get you to the car.

Get up. Put your arm around me. Come on.

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.

I have an important meeting. I can't leave.

All right. Bye.

All right, I'll talk to you later.

All right. Bye.

I am so sorry.

My wife was not happy I cancelled lunch.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you for meeting with us.

Well, when I heard the, uh, DEA

was joining the investigation

into Teo's suicide...

Cause of death is yet to be determined.

Well, I don't

mean to speak ill of the dead,

but Teo was screwing the help.

Jailbait, no less.

Tell you that himself?

Teo asked for my advice.

I told him get his house in order.

That boy was a hot mess.

I mean, I'm not surprised that he decided

it was time to meet his maker.

What can you tell us about his work for Camila Vargas?

Well, I was concerned, given Teo's lack of judgment

and Epifanio Vargas' reputation,

that something may have been done to jeopardize my firm.

By "something," you mean one of your attorneys facilitating

the sale and distribution of illegal substances?

Camila Vargas, as far as I know,

is an upstanding businesswoman.

Then you won't mind if we take a look at her files.

You...you'd need a warrant for that.

But in light of Teo's passing,

I'd like to be transparent with your agency.

Here are the files for your review.

Ready to roll.

Like you read my mind.

Well, if there's nothing else, I have a meeting in five.

Sir,

I appreciate your help.

Anything for the government.

Oh, damn it.

Still no service.

You should just leave me behind

and get back to the truck.

No, I can't leave you.

You're burning up.

I really need to lay down.

Drink something. Drink.

I'm out of water.

Shit.

Squeeze it.

Stay down. Don't move.

We've gotta keep moving.

Why am I here?

Camila asked us to find the tunnel, remember?

Shit.

We're running out of options here.

The truck is just over that ridge.

Drive until you get cell service.

Okay.

You're gonna make it. Say it.

I'm gonna make it.

What are you doing?

Giving you a head start. What?

James, no.

Drop your weapon! Drop it!

Put the gun down!

Hands behind your head!

Where's the girl who was with you?

What girl?

Hey.

Wake up, asshole.

David Lee Autrey?

My ass.

You're just some pinche puto.

Is that what they call you down in Mexico?

Who the hell are you?

You're in the custody of the Texas Patriot Squad,

civilian militia,

protecting our freedom and borders.

You shot at me and my men.

So tell me why I shouldn't put a bullet...

in your head right now?

Miss Mendoza.

You followed me here?

You didn't think we'd let you go just like that?

What happened to you there?

Oh.

Nasty bite.

Main road's just up ahead.

Let me get you to a hospital.

I'm so tired.

Like I said, you're a good person in a bad situation.

Come with me, this all ends.

Take my hand.

Snakes eat rats.

Only you can save yourself.

Get in the truck, Teresa.

Those ridiculous drones,

why wasn't I told about them?

Forgive me, Governor, but I didn't

want to bother you with the technical details.

You're spying on me.

Everything we do is for your protection.

But if the drones displease you,

I'll stop deploying them immediately.

Can they move cargo?

We'd have to get bigger drones.

If they can work as spies,

they can also work as mules.

An inspired idea.

I'll look into it.

Bueno?

Gracias, Comandante.

What's wrong?

It appears we have a breach at the tunnel.

Why are you still standing here? Go.

You were in the service, right?

27th Engineer Battalion out of Fort Bragg.

I was 1st Cav.

Help a soldier out and untie me.

I'm a US citizen and a vet.

You know what I think?

You're a coyote.

Am I right?

And that girl you were with,

you sex-trafficking her?

Hey! Did you drug that girl?

Is she out there dying?

Huh? Hey!

What are you doing?

I told you to call Border Patrol.

He shot at us, Carl.

And he's smuggling women into the country.

Did he confess to that?

No, says he's ex-army.

I say he's a lying sack of shit.

Stop that car!

Get out of the truck.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

I need to speak to who's in charge.

Please? You looking for your coyote?

That's enough, Pete.

That's enough.

Let's just get her to the tent.

Anything happens to this woman in our camp,

the Feds will shut us down for good.

Stand down.

That's a serious mustache.

He's very intimidating.

I choose to surround myself with strong people.

Hm.

You backed down the DEA.

You mitigated my risk with Teo.

These kind of favors don't come for free.

Well, you pay my firm a hefty commission.

Oh, yes, I know. Hm.

You're one of the richest men in Texas.

It isn't cash you're after.

What do you want from me?

My family

made their money in oil.

We moved in the highest society circles in Texas

and wanted for nothing.

But the day it ran out,

it took some time for my dad

to drink and gamble his way through the assets we had left.

He ended up dying

destitute on the street.

So I cultivated the friendships of my youth.

I may not have had much,

but I had powerful friends and plenty of them.

And eventually, I was back on top.

The difference was

there's no way in hell

I'm ever gonna let anyone take that away from me again.

To powerful friends.

You got some real bad luck here.

We usually don't see bark scorpions around here.

That antihistamine should be kicking in.

How are you feeling?

Better. Thank you.

Where's my friend?

"Friend"

gives you fake passports?

When you're up and walking,

I'm gonna have to call Border Patrol,

turn you in to custody.

You started this group to protect your county?

Something like that.

We have a common enemy.

That's hard to believe, honey.

I used to work for a cartel.

They forced me to be a mule.

When I tried to escape,

they killed my entire family.

We can help each other.

You got my attention. Go on.

There's a tunnel at the border.

That's why we're here.

We were doing surveillance.

I can take you there right now.

You can tell the Border Patrol all about the tunnel.

You know the cartels control everyone,

even the Border Patrol.

There's another way.

This whole country's getting soft.

You can barely touch a girl

without some feminazi

whining about harassment.

Now I got Carl giving me crap

about manhandling some bitch.

Yeah, what bitch would that be?

Your piece of ass.

She got mouthy, and I was just about to shut her up.

You think that makes you a tough guy,

putting your hands on women?

You're just a fucking coward.

What'd you say to me?

Oh, you're dead, bitch.

Pete! Knock it off!

Knock it off! God damn it!

Back off!

Cut him loose.

Now.

What's going on, Carl?

Cut him loose right now.

Hey, hey, hey!

Back off, back off.

Just cool it. Move it!

Are you okay? I thought I told you to go.

I'm not leaving you. Come on.

How the hell did you find me? Followed the tire tracks.

You needed an army? I got us one.

The tunnel is under the van on the left.

Damn. You weren't lying.

Coke comes from Mexico through the tunnel

and then the vans take it to Dallas.

God damn. Not gonna happen today.

We have explosives.

If you're thinking what I'm thinking, darling,

I love the way you think.

Let's blow up the tunnel.

You need papers?

'Cause I'm single.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Hey, vans are moving.

Pete, you, me, and the boys will stop the vans.

Teresa, you get to blow up the tunnel.

Chingada. Los siguien.

We're almost at the tunnel.

Get the bomb ready.

It's armed.

Get out of the van!

Get out of the van, asshole!

Get out of the van.

Now.

Vamanos!

Vamanos.

911, what's your emergency?

Hey, yeah, yo, they just shot a cop.

Some dude with an AK, he just shot a cop.

He's running around crazy, pointing the gun at everybody.

What's your location?

It's, uh, Walnut Hill.

Next to the, uh, you know the Black Star Liquor?

We're sending someone now.

Yeah, yeah, hurry. This guy, he...he's nuts.

All units be advised.

Officer down and shooter on foot

in vicinity of Black Star Liquor

in Walnut Hill Lane.

Shit. That's right around the corner.

We should respond.

We can't leave our post.

An officer is down.

I'll call someone to cover.

Nothing here, man.

Van Awken's either straight

or he's smart enough to clean Teo's mess after him.

It's death by a thousand paper cuts and he knows it.

Finnerman.

Shooting. Where?

No, you get your ass back to that motel now.

Shit!

Postak and Felix just lost eyes on Guero.

Weaselly prick.

One guess who he's going to see.

Can't say I blame him.

Just don't make a decision

about the DEA till we talk, okay?

Please? I love you.

How's the leg?

I'll survive.

Good.

Carl gave me his number.

Should I call him?

Eh.

I'd hold off.

Play hard to get.

Look, you shouldn't have come back for me.

It was stupid. You could have been killed.

But you didn't leave me behind, and I won't forget it.

Gracias.

Keep an eye on that little hurricane.

Two drinks maximum.

Hola. Como estas?

Como estas?

Hola. Bien.

Hola.

The tunnel's gone.

An explosion. We lost three men.

I don't care about your men. Who did it?

We captured this image

off of one of the surveillance drones.

Teresa.

That's unacceptable.

They are making me look like a fool.

You assured me that Don Reynaldo's product

would be protected.

Now, you had one job, Colonel,

and you failed miserably.

Your daughter looks beautiful.

Moctezuma had a daughter with the name Isabela.

When her father was killed,

Cortez, the conquistador,

took her in as his own and gave her

a land,

a new religion, a new name.

Who exactly do you think you're talking to?

Do you think you are the only killer in this place?

If you say my daughter's name again,

I will carve it into your skull.

Now,

go and fix your mess.

Please.

Bela, you look wonderful.

That dress and those shoes,

aren't they a little too grown-up?

Mom sent me the shoes

and I love them.

More than the pearls?

I love the pearls.

This isn't a competition, papi.

Okay.

A toast to my daughter!

I love you more than life itself.

Happy birthday...

mi'ja.

Feliz cumpleanos.

I asked Pote to look at your car

to see why it was overheating.

See, if you're going to represent this business,

you should be driving something more...

reliable.

Come.

I purchased it for Isabela.

I don't think I'm gonna be seeing my daughter anytime soon.

I'm sorry.

It's temporary.

I was impressed with what you did today.

You manipulated a pack of rabid dogs

into doing our bidding.

This car

is a symbol of my trust.

I'm giving you your freedom.

Don't make me regret it.

I checked the car for GPS trackers.

It's clean,

for now.

There's an old saying.

The fish only sees the bait,

never the hook.

I know you lied to me about

your car overheating, Teresita.

Whatever you're hiding

better be worth it.

Wasn't quite sure if you'd show.

I won't turn on Camila.

All right, then screw it.

Screw 'em all, let's just get the hell out of here.

I'm not gonna run away with you.

One day we'll be sitting on a beach

and someone's gonna walk up to us

and gonna put two bullets into our heads.

We can't run anymore.

You know that.

So what now?

Everything in our life was always on your terms.

That's over now.

If you want to be with me,

you need to prove you're not with the DEA.

Convince Camila you're on her side,

part of her family.

I had to make a choice.

Now you need to make yours.
