My Dad started to work in the cartel when he was 14.

Drop the magazine. Empty the chamber.

Reload.

Previously on "Queen of the South"...

I know he wouldn't want this for you.

I've been lucky every day since I've had it.

Thank you.

People in our line of work can't be with civilians.

It's too dangerous for you... for him.

Are you sure we can trust Javier?

We're selling to Dumas now. Javier will be your contact.

You and I won't be meeting again.

It must've been Dumas who told the judge about us.

- Whoa, slow down. - You broke our trust.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where is Bobby?

Soon as she pops her head up, we hit her.

Your Honor.

Word is, Mendoza's sending you a message.

You get one hit... an eye for an eye...

to put that girl in her place.

Get off of me!

- Uhh... - This is for Dumas.

After that, we go back to business as usual.

Dumas went after her 'cause she was an easy target.

He'll try to kill anyone tied to us.

Sí.

I need to see Tony.

Where's Javier?

Puta madre.

Where were you?

- We're at war, - Hey...

And you disappear to screw some bitch?

Hey, cabrón. Watch your mouth, puto.

Or what, cabrón? Mm?

What?

Pote.

Give us a minute.

- Who is she? - Her name is Emilia.

_

You didn't answer my question.

She's Boaz's ex-fiancée.

And she's with you now.

Sí.

He can't know she's here.

My cousin's been with a lot of women, pero...

_

Entiende?

I'm sorry, patrona. I'm sorry, Teresa.

I... I didn't want to make this your problem.

This isn't our only problem.

Dumas killed Birdie.

This hijo de puta!

I need you to do something.

Whatever you need.

Do we need to put someone to protect her?

No, no one else knows, and...

I want to keep it that way.

Let's go.

Hey.

Oh, uh, Tony will be out in a jiffy.

Um, hey,

I-I'm so sorry about what happened to your bartender.

Birdie, right?

Thank you.

Teresa, I heard someone came after you.

It's okay.

I wanna talk to you.

Come outside.

Okay.

Listen.

I know you've gone through a lot,

but you can't just disappear

without letting anyone know where you are,

especially with a gun.

It's dangerous.

Look, I wanna pull my own weight.

You can use me.

Yo, it's going down.

Do it.

I promised your mother I'd keep you safe.

My father was a soldier, and this is who I am.

You have no idea what this life really is.

It is not for you.

You taught me to shoot a gun for a reason.

Now you need protecting.

What your father had to do,

what everyone in this life is forced to do... look at me...

You can never come back from.

Whoever you thought you were...

that dies.

You don't want this.

Gonna need you to step outside the vehicle, please.

Just... you.

I suggest the rest of you

find your center of peace and not move.

Teresa?

It's okay.

Go.

Beautiful morning, isn't it?

Shame about that young girl.

I understand the rage you may be feeling,

but you and Marcel have each lost one.

Scales are balanced now.

I need you to pin your anger to the post.

His men tried to kill me.

After Marcel's men turned up dead.

You drew first blood.

Had you given me an answer to our proposed partnership,

my tone might be more amenable.

You don't care about the deaths,

just about money.

And a good working relationship.

Marcel and I have peacefully coexisted for years.

There's been nothing but chaos since you arrived.

That chaos wasn't started by me.

Dumas is making this personal.

I'll speak to Marcel.

But you need to be the bigger man here...

cool those pretty heels

till we figure this thing out.

Let me know you've heard me,

and that you understand...

With words.

I heard you.

Good girl.

Patrona.

It's done.

They'll know who you are now.

Bien hecho.

Gracias.

Where are we on surveillance?

We have eyes on some targets.

We'll have more soon.

His club, his house, his people.

- We have a line on his family. - No.

We're at war.

Not his family.

I'm gonna go fortify our defense.

Patrona, are you okay?

I want you to take me somewhere.

Welcome to the Casa De Santos.

Thank you for seeing me such a short notice, madrina.

This... this is her.

Hm.

You seek a blessing of protection?

Sí.

She's a leader looking out for her people.

You are afraid she will fail.

The Orishas will guide us. Let us begin.

Will this be enough to protect her?

The Santos tell me this is not what your friend seeks.

It is not protection

this woman is looking for.

It is a reckoning.

I'd love to thank to that...

hurricane you came in with was...

all about my undeniable sex appeal.

Unfortunately, for my ego, I know better.

Just work.

I'm listening.

I want to run my business in a way, and...

The competition is forcing me to change.

And you have to make compromises.

And if you don't,

they try to take you down.

Most people give in...

"if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality.

Something tells me you can beat them.

If the train is taking you to somewhere you don't wanna go,

to someone you don't wanna be,

get off the train.

Thank you.

I'm also available for all the stuff we just did...

if you need help working that out again.

You don't have to do this, Marcel.

We can handle this bitch on our own.

You're gonna wanna stop talking.

Right now.

Shomari James.

Marcel.

I knew I was getting them A-T-L boys.

I didn't know I was getting the boss.

We go back, man.

And you got beef this hot,

I'm here to put a period on that shit.

So how you want this to go down?

Scorched earth.

Her people, her spots...

Mari, she don't see the sun rise.

Say less.

All right.

Now you know my secret.

Are you in love with her?

We didn't plan for it to happen.

My cousin killed his own brother

like it was nothing,

just to seize power.

Imagine what he would do if he knew about Emilia.

Boaz is my associate,

but you're with me now.

Gracias.

I don't know how to thank you, patrona.

Put a man on my friend for protection.

He can't know.

Are we crazy?

To want something different in this life?

I don't know.

They almost got me. It was Dumas' men.

He brought them from outside. I saw Georgia plates.

So, he's hired more men.

- Hello? - Patrona, we have a problem.

The Judge's cops just rounded up our men

from the distillery.

The Judge is coming for us.

It's punishment for not backing down.

He's clearing the way for Dumas to finish us.

It's past my office hours,

and I got a bourbon waiting for me at home.

I need my men released.

That's gonna be tricky

given their questionable immigration status...

not to mention the unregistered firearms found on their persons.

How much is it going to cost?

You've already heard my terms.

10% is too much.

I've spent some time in your country.

I know your people like to haggle,

but this isn't some Tia-Juana flea market, Miss Mendoza.

My price is final.

Now, you can pay it,

or you can go back home and haggle with tourists

over $5 souvenirs.

Your choice.

- Now, if you'll excuse me... - Okay.

10%.

Wise decision.

You'll see how much smoother things go for you

moving forward, Miss Mendoza.

I made a deal.

It will get our men released

and put a stop to Dumas' attacks.

But they won't come out tonight,

and Dumas' men are still coming for us.

Let's go inside. We're sitting ducks out here.

And we know where Dumas' men hang out.

Maybe we should grab Cedric.

Good insurance... just in case the Judge doesn't work fast enough.

You don't make a truce out of weakness.

You make it out of strength.

It's a smart move, Teresita.

Javier,

don't let this end like Bobby.

I want him alive.

Sí, patrona.

No, not that.

Hola.

_

_

_

_

_

Hey.

I gotta hustle, man.

Marcel's gonna be looking for me.

You even think of holding out on me,

I'll send your ass back upstate... finish your bid.

Wait, what?

I already gave you her coke business, man.

I gave you her deal with Marcel. Now, what else do you want?

What else do I want?

I want details!

There's a war now.

I know Marcel's got people in play.

Who taught you to do that?

Oh, it's for protection.

When I was a young boy,

mi tía Pilar, would drag me to la Botánica.

She told me that Santería was created

when the slave-masters would force their slaves

to practice Christianity.

So the slaves banded together

and created their own secret religion

so they can keep their own faith.

Mi tía survived life in Culiacán.

She survived cancer.

Dumas' men fired at me at point-blank range.

A bullet went right through my jacket

and didn't even touch me.

The Orishas protected mi tía and me, and now,

they will protect us.

I thought we would be safe here.

Building this business with decency

has never been done.

They see a soft heart,

and they think weakness.

Do you think it's weakness?

I think it's courage.

But I also know that you will have to change

to become the person that you're supposed to be.

What if that person scares me?

Pinche Judge double-crossed us.

Safe room. Go.

Blast anything that comes through that door.

Sí, patron.

Pote.

Those are the guys who came after me.

The Judge's 10% has paid off.

Don't move.

- Keep it right there. - 'K, we got them.

Yes?

Patrona, just saw Cedric meeting with

the Judge's crooked cop.

Gave him intel on Dumas and you.

So it was Cedric who ratted us out to the Judge,

not Dumas?

I've got Cedric in my sights.

What do you wanna do, Patrona?

- I want to talk to you. - I ain't got nothing to say to you.

Then you can listen.

Sí?

_

Muy bien.

_

_

Okay.

O'Keefe and Common.

Gracias.

I need you to deliver a message to Dumas.

I want a truce.

You killed his people.

And he killed mine.

This war isn't good for any of us.

You need me alive to deliver that message.

Make sure he gets it.

What do you want?

You got my message?

Yeah, I did. You sic the Judge's dogs

on my guys and you think I'm done?

Listen. You got one man in your pocket.

I got hitters in every city...

phone call away.

You may want to wait.

I have information that affects your business.

I don't know what this bitch's telling you...

Shut the hell up!

Come here. Come here.

You sold me out.

You sold us out...

for this.

No. The Judge had me, man.

You know he had me on probation,

said he's gonna violate me back to Orleans Parish Prison

ten years if I ain't play ball.

- No, no, listen... - I'm sorry, man.

Let it go. Don't do this, brother.

We... we family!

Ced...

I see how you do family.

I'ma show you how we do betrayal.

Wait.

Marcel.

The Judge doesn't know we found his rat.

We can use that.

It's all right.

This lady just bought your life.

Make it worth it.

I grew up with that kid, I know his mama.

Had a rat, and you found him.

That don't take away what you took from me.

I don't know how they do shit in Sinaloa.

Bobby was familia.

You're right.

I thought you betrayed me to the Judge,

and I ended our business deal without listening to you.

I didn't intend to kill Bobby.

He made a move

and died under my watch.

None of this had to happen.

I acted without knowing the whole story.

You're goddamn right you did.

There's only one person

who profits off of us at war.

The Judge.

The only way for people like him to stay in power

is to keep people like us at each other's throats.

Slave-master mentality.

Ain't a new thing around here.

How are you suggesting

that we move forward?

I would like to resume our business deal.

I will supply you a monthly shipment

of my product.

And this.

For Bobby's family.

All right.

_

_

_

Ah, no...

_

_

_

_

Gracias.

_

_

_

_

_

_

Si.

_

_

_

Sí.

Lookie here.

Christmas came early.

There's more.

Cedric called.

Said Dumas struck a truce with Mendoza.

How do we feel about that?

Ah...

As long as Ms. Mendoza proves useful to us,

it's my pleasure to have her here as our guest.

I'm nothing if not magnanimous.

There's nearly half a million in those bags.

She got it liquid in a heartbeat.

Her money may get us our shiny

new correctional facility much faster than we thought,

where she'll have her own private room...

If she survive that long.

Thank you for bringing dinner.

It was amazing.

You made it, right?

No...

Hey, all I can make are scrambled eggs, so...

You seem better.

Why didn't you mention Birdie?

It's my fault she's gone.

How is it your fault? It was a random act of violence.

It happened at my bar.

Could've had better security.

Could-a, should-a...

Regret's gonna eat you alive.

Sometimes,

you spend so much time dwelling on the past

that you forget to live.

I lived most of my life

running from my past.

That's not living.

That's surviving.

We should want more than that, right?

Are we still talking about me?

Come here.

What's in it for me?

He's asleep.

Yeah? Finally.

Poor kid hadn't been sleeping.

He was waiting up for you, you know.

- He waited up? - Mm-hmm.

You're real good with him.

He's a good boy.

Yeah, he is.

You know, I think he kinda looks up to you like a father figure.

What's wrong?

It wasn't my fault.

What wasn't?

Everyone knows the rules.

Chino knew the rules...

Tony's...

Tony's father.

He was stealing from my boss, and I was just following orders,

and he knew the rules.

That's why I felt nothing when I squeezed the trigger

and took his life.

But I feel something now.

Hey.

It's understandable.

Why?

Because Tony means something to you now.

Mm.
