A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

PREVIOUSLY...

For nine years I've been chasing after that Mexican

so she can pay for her crime...

and I finally found her.

Your mother asked me to bring you over.

They took my daughter! I don't know where she is!

Those bastards found me!

You planned for us to meet you so we wouldn't suspect a thing.

It's been so long since I last heard your voice, Teresa.

Who is this?

Your godfather, Epifanio.

Your daughter is already on her way to Mexico.

You have to come here.

Goodbye, Maria.

Teresa Mendoza...

better known as the Queen of the South...

is back.

What's our strategy for catching up to candidate Bravo?

He's skyrocketing in the polls.

Yeah, but he's peaked.

Hasn't he, Alejandro?

That's right.

We're running a very aggressive schedule this month, sis.

Those polls will soon take a turn.

Has my brother talked to you about an image change?

It's important that you resonate with the youth.

She's been toying with the idea and mentioned it this morning.

She and Danilo are working on that, and I think they're right.

The idea is to make you a bit more modern.

Us Alcala siblings will take you to Los Pinos.

Cheers to that.

Cheers!

Cheers.

I'll ask the girls in the kitchen

to make something delicious so we can talk...

We can't tonight, Genoveva.

Why not?

We have official business to tend to.

A secret meeting with a high-ranking military officer.

And as you know, Mexico first.

Then in that case I'm going to work on the script for my show.

Just a few hours to go.

We've waited nine years for this.

We should thank the mother of the late Teo Aljarafe.

-She found Teresa. -Nobody knows who she works for.

I don't think she'll sit around twiddling her thumbs.

No way!

Spain isn't Mexico.

All Aljarafe has to worry about is her money and her name.

I doubt she can hire hitmen to kill Teresita.

MALAGA, SPAIN

Look, Mr. Pernas,

I have neither the time nor the desire to answer all your questions.

The fact is, that damn woman has turned up after nine years,

and she has to pay for all the harm she caused you all.

I know she killed your cousin,

that she ruined your business and your family.

You've been waiting for this day just as long as I have.

Or am I mistaken?

Where can I find that woman?

I sent you an envelope over a month ago that contained all the information.

I found it strange you didn't call me, which is why I'm calling you.

I never received an envelope.

But... I don't understand.

It even included the plans to that woman's home.

If I'd received that,

Teresa Mendoza would be dead.

Tell me where she is,

and I'll make sure that filthy South American bleeds.

Mr. Pernas, listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.

Maria...

Maria.

I can keep a secret.

What happened to Sofia?

Why do you assume that something's wrong with Sofia?

Something bad is going on with you.

Don't push it, Francesco.

You don't know me well enough.

I appreciate you giving me a lift to Mexico and all,

it's really awesome.

But I'm in no mood to be interrogated.

Fine, fine.

Relax.

Sit down.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Look.

My family, Federico and Giulietta.

They're my everything.

You never told me you had kids.

You never asked.

They live with their mother in Palermo.

It was a very complicated divorce.

There's nothing harder on a parent than not being able to see their children,

than being away from them.

I just got another three, fools!

Is that the best you guys can do? In fact, I'm doubling the bet.

Hey, kid.

I gave her enough tranquilizer to knock out an elephant.

She won't wake up for another two weeks.

I did well last hand,

but I'm going to do even better on this one.

I was playing left-handed before.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, who do we appreciate?

Right on!

So that's how it's going to be?

That's right, boss.

Remember Jack and his magic beans?

He had a beanstalk.

I think it was made of gold.

Who's the boss here?

Let me see your cards.

Tonight, I crown myself the king without a crown.

That's right, boss.

Fine, you win.

My daughter was kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

By who?

The son of a bitch that gave the order is in Mexico.

That's why I'm returning home after so many years.

I swear I'll kill anybody

that touches one hair on my little girl's head.

...so this is all I can play.

Damn it!

Where did she get this thing?

She went this way.

Where did you get that piece of glass?

Excuse me.

WASHINGTON D.C., USA

Look at the boss.

Check him out.

He should be harder on the president

instead of kissing his ass all day.

He's not just kissing it. He pampers it.

When you've been given three budget increases,

the last thing you should do is piss in the wind. You'll get wet.

You've got a lot to learn, don't you?

Hello?

-It's me. -Who's "me"?

Teresa. Don't act stupid.

How much did they pay you to betray me, Willy?

Why the hell did you give Epifanio Vargas my location?

What's going on?

Bad news.

We've detected a radio frequency signal.

-Coming from where? -Right here on the plane.

It's Teresa.

Who is she calling?

The signal is encrypted.

She's using high-end equipment.

It's impossible to tap.

And there's something worse.

Now what?

Hey, stay out of there!

-The girl escaped from her cage. -What the fuck did you say?

If you open that window, the plane will go down and we die.

If you're trying to scare me, it's not working.

Close the curtains.

Go!

Come here, kid!

Do you know where I am, motherfucker?

On a fucking flight to Mexico

because Epifanio kidnapped my daughter and he's making me come back.

That's where I am, asshole.

You'll need help from your friends.

I'll meet you in Mexico.

Write my number down.

See you in a few hours.

What are you doing in there?

What are you doing here?

The same as you.

Where were you?

Hurry up!

I want to call my mother.

You can call her when we land.

-Let's go. -Where are you taking me?

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Are you alright?

Yes.

That was...

That was the pilot. There might be turbulence.

Let go of that. No, no!

No, no!

Put that back together! Give her to me!

What's going on?

I don't know. I'll go to the cockpit and check it out.

Connect that thing before we die!

Connect it before we crash!

What happened?

Now you've done it, kid.

I'm going to tie you up with hot wires!

Come on.

No!

There you go, kid.

Really?

Am I invisible? He doesn't listen to me when I talk.

He will at some point.

Now we have to find a plane to take us to Mexico.

Let's go.

Let's see if traveling the whole way

with your arms behind your back doesn't improve your mood.

You're going to love it.

You hungry, kid?

Here.

Dinner.

How am I supposed to eat wearing handcuffs?

Haven't you ever seen a dog before?

Do they need hands?

Use your snout. Dig in!

Look at all this. Where'd my hat go?

All that money was mine, okay?

Damn, kid. I guess you're all better now.

I'll find a hose for you to drink out of so you don't choke.

Let's see.

These cards won't do anymore.

Mr. Francesco, the plane has been stabilized.

We are maintaining our plotted course.

Remain seated.

Maria.

I have money, contacts, and people who owe me favors.

If you give me the details of Sofia's kidnapping,

maybe I could help you.

I don't know if you're brave or just naive.

The bastards that have my daughter

shoot first and take names later.

If you knew how powerful the man who has her is,

you wouldn't have offered me your plane.

With everything you've told me,

I take it you'd rather enter Mexico

without alerting the authorities.

I have a passport. My real name's not on it.

Perfect.

I'll take care of the rest.

Be quick.

We'll meet at the hangar, only bring what you need.

-See you there in an hour. -One more thing.

Not a word of this to Manuela. Don't tell her Teresa turned up.

She never got over all this.

No way, man. I never talk to her about that.

-Relax. -Okay.

See you there.

Manuela, you can't come here without giving me a heads up.

Take away my key then.

I could've killed you.

I won't do it again.

I promise.

Going on a trip?

With whom and to where?

To Mexico

with the boss.

Routine mission.

Are you making that up to go see another woman?

Ask Willy.

When are you leaving?

In less than an hour.

Give me ten minutes.

At least let me take you to where they're waiting for you.

I really don't understand why you're doing all this for me.

You know I like you,

but I don't want to take advantage while you're dealing with this.

Please.

Okay.

I'm with her. I'm with her!

Francesco!

Hey, that's enough.

You don't need to rough him up, damn it!

Put the gun away.

They're not going to hurt me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

What's all this about?

It's called fate,

and it brought me back to where everything started.

That's enough! Hey, let him go!

These people are dangerous.

Maria!

I'm from Culiacan. We speak the same language.

We meet again, Teresita.

Welcome home, sweetheart.

Welcome to Mexico, goddaughter.

I'm so happy you've returned, Teresita,

because the last time your feet touched Mexican soil

you screwed up and left me to rot in prison.

I spared your life,

and you betrayed me.

Where the fuck is my daughter?

All in due time, dear.

You and I have a lot to talk about.

I've waited for this moment for a long time.

Nine years!

Nine years, Teresita,

but now I'm the one holding all the cards,

and you have no choice but to wait for me, to deal your hand

so that we can play when I say so.

I don't know how you found me, and I really don't care.

-I just want to see my daughter. -I heard you, I'm not deaf.

Your daughter's here in Mexico. She arrived two hours ago.

We've got her somewhere safe. She's well taken care of.

How do I know you're not lying?

Nothing's going to happen to your daughter.

You know why?

Because she's my strongest card.

Your daughter is my key to reaching Los Pinos.

Sofia's going to help me

so that you make me the next president of Mexico.

You have a new message.

Emilio, this is Cayetana Aljarafe.

Call me as soon as you can.

The people who were supposed to take care of the Mexican

have gone back on their word.

I want to rehire you to--

Those bastards hit me harder than they were supposed to.

Collateral damage, Lupo.

Here's your second payment.

Cayetana Aljarafe offered to pay me to eliminate Teresa.

She's looking for a hitman,

and she called you because I refuse to do business with her.

This job is over.

I don't plan on answering her calls.

Everything alright?

Yes.

They ought to be finishing up.

Tread carefully, Lupo.

No mistakes.

She won't find out.

I'm earning Teresa's trust.

Don't kid yourself.

You're taking on one of the most dangerous women in the world.

You're just saying that because you don't know her daughter.

Good evening, Sister.

Good evening, Batman.

Your package has arrived.

A pet to take care of.

She's an Italian breed, she's got her papers

and she's got all her shots.

This morning we vaccinated her for rabies so she won't bite you.

Careful, careful.

-Right, right. -Quickly.

Close the trunk.

You're not a nun.

You talk to me in Spanish, shrimp.

Nuns don't wear heels.

Well, then...

My name is Morgana.

Like the witch.

And I'll be taking care of you.

But by the looks of it,

I've got a lot to teach you with a firm hand.

Is that clear?

-There? -That's fine.

Get back

so I can take a picture of you.

Let's see those pearly whites. It's for your mom.

If I smile, my mom will know you're forcing me to.

Record a video so I can tell her something.

Anything else, Your Majesty? Can you believe her?

I said a picture. Smile.

Smile!

Just take it.

There we go.

You look ugly, but it'll do the trick.

Who's that? Your lover?

Oh, please! You investigated me

and went to the ends of the earth to find me.

Don't act like you don't know who he is.

No, he's not my lover.

He must really care about you to come all the way here.

I don't want him coming between us, got it?

I don't want anyone shitting the bed

because this time,

your daughter's life is at stake.

Oh, give me a break.

Spare me the politics and get to the point already.

What do you want in exchange for my daughter?

There's an opponent of mine beating me in the polls.

He's teamed up with Zurdo Villa,

a big-time drug trafficker.

That dude's funding his campaign.

I've already told you, I don't give a damn

-about your political career. -Yeah, I know.

That's why I've got your daughter.

So that you do give a damn about it.

And so that you'll vote for me, too.

Look.

This photo was just taken.

She's got some mug, huh?

Turned out just like her mom.

What do I have to do to get her back?

I want you to destroy Zurdo Villa's empire,

but from the inside.

I want you to infiltrate his organization.

You're good at that, aren't you?

What's more, you're pretty and smart.

He'll fall hook, line, and sinker.

Once you've taken control of his empire

and you're the lady of his life,

it's off with his head.

With that, my opponent's head will roll, too,

but I don't want anyone finding out that I was behind it, got it?

You're going to clear a path for me to become president.

One thing, though.

I will need you to live in Mexico

and go back to being the Queen of the South.

I'm not the same idiot you fooled 20 years ago.

You ordered the deaths of all my loved ones.

My life changed when you ordered the death of Güero Davila.

So, no, sir. No deal.

This is your fight.

It's not my problem.

As long as I have your daughter,

it is your problem.

Move it.

I want to talk to my mother.

You don't call the shots here.

You're not on vacation,

and I'm certainly not your servant.

Since you're going to be spending a lot of time here,

you'd better try to get along.

You're a witch!

Talk to me in Spanish I said.

Can't you see she doesn't speak Italian?

I don't either, but that's okay. What does "strega" mean?

Witch.

Aww!

But of course.

My name is Morgana, like I told you.

Now, go take a bath!

If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty.

Something else, isn't she?

Shut up!

Thank you.

Thank you.

-You know what? -What's that?

I want to meet Teresa Mendoza.

That woman is a legend.

-Manuela? -Uh-huh.

You know what to tell her, right?

Yeah, I just hate lying to her.

She stopped by my apartment before I left.

Did you mention the mission? Did you tell her anything?

-What did you say? -That it was a routine mission.

She has no idea we're here.

Do you know why Manuela cannot find out about any of this?

Because she will never understand

that Teresa had nothing to do with her sister's death.

Then who's responsible?

Let's go.

Let's go.

What do you say, Teresita?

Do we have a deal?

If anything happens to my daughter,

I will destroy every living being who carries your last name.

Your loved ones, Batman's,

and every single one involved with my daughter's kidnapping.

Even those that are born before I die.

That girl that you once met

isn't the same woman standing here before you!

Now, this chick here,

when she's good, she's very good.

But when she's bad,

she's even better.

If I find out that Sofia has discovered my past

or my real name,

it'll never end for you, Epifanio.

I will pay you back.

An eye for an eye, a loved one for a loved one.

Let's go!

Francesco, I told you. Please disappear.

I don't want to be responsible for any more deaths.

It was nothing. How else can I help you?

No! Just please leave me here.

Alone?

Yes, here. I'm begging you.

Leave me alone.

Teresita Mendoza is a badass, huh?

And attractive.

That's despite having a rough go of it.

But that bitch always lands on her feet.

She's the same woman she's always been.

Do you love her like a daughter or want her as a woman?

The former not the latter.

She's pretty and smart, and after what we did to her,

she'll be more dangerous than ever.

She loves her daughter more than herself.

It's a good plan, Alejandro.

Teresita won't let us down, you'll see.

How'd it go with you and that Italian?

Nothing new to report. Everything's in order.

He didn't say it,

but I think he's in love with Teresita, too.

I'm telling you, that woman's got something

that poisons these men.

From Güero to that Teo Aljarafe.

All dead, by the way.

So be careful, because when you meet her,

I'm certain you'll fall in love with her as well.

She's not my type.

Beltran.

Let's get out of here.

I want to talk to all the men

so each one knows that if they step out of line,

they'll lose their heads.

There are all my numbers.

What?

If I go down and I'm found with this,

we both lose our heads.

I've memorized the numbers.

Mexico: 52-55-547-3892.

Italy: 39-402-58-91.

Spain: 34-300-42-15-00.

Happy?

Happy.

Please leave me alone, I'm begging you.

Thank you.

I'll call you when all this is over.

Goodbye, Teresa.

Goodbye, Francesco.

I made you come here

so you'd tell me how much you were paid to betray me.

Drop the gun!

Don't even think about it or I'll blow your brains out.

Did you bring bodyguards?

-He's one of mine. -I don't give a damn who he is.

I'll ask you one last time, Willy.

How much did you charge to betray me?

Because of you, my daughter was kidnapped.

You're wrong.

How could you, asshole? How could you do that?

-Let him go! -Stay out of this!

Stay out of it!

After everything I did for you?

Who was it who told you Güero was DEA?

Who the hell was it who told you that Epifanio ordered his death?

Who called you to save your life?

Who got you out of Spain?

Who put Epifanio in prison? Me!

What good did it do? Epifanio's out.

So don't take too much credit.

I didn't sell you out.

Then how did he find out where my daughter and I were?

I don't know.

After we spoke, I talked to my boss and we went through the file. That's it.

Why the fuck would I want you to give in to Epifanio?

We're the ones who put him in jail!

I know he was released and I can't take credit for him being locked up anymore.

What did that bastard ask for in exchange for your daughter?

That I work for him.

That I do the dirty work it'll take to make him president.

That son of a bitch.

What are you going to do?

That man is a genius, Willy.

He took the only thing I care about.

What am I going to do? I have no choice.

I'm going to make my worst enemy president of this country.

GALICIA, SPAIN

Siso, we're just making trouble for ourselves, goddamn it.

Why don't we forget about it? Let bygones be bygones.

We'll take care of the past in Italy.

Teresa Mendoza was the only woman

to bring shame on our name.

We will have our revenge.

Well said, Siso.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

The Mexican!

Is Mr. Oleg Yasikov there?

Tell him Teresa Mendoza is looking for him.

How much time is left before the bomb explodes?

Tell me which wire to cut.

Teresa, which one is it?

Keep walking.

How much do you want to take care of the girl yourself?

Any news about the Mexican?

She's probably on her way back to Spain right now.
