A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

PREVIOUSLY...

-Good luck, girls. -Thanks, Oleg.

I've already read the plan, and everything's perfect.

Zurdo Villa didn't get that powerful by being stupid.

-Zurdo, are you ready? -Ready.

I feel like this trip will change our lives, Teresa.

Did Mr. Willy suffer a lot?

No, he was shot in the head.

He didn't know what hit him.

The other day, Mr. Rangel showed up...

Idiot!

...saying he wanted to see my nails.

That he knew I was innocent of the murder

of Father Anselmo.

You can't tell anyone that you know me.

Our lives are all at risk, understood?

Sir, I must warn you that Agent Pérez

is as stubborn as Willy.

He went into my house to steal a pen drive

that had classified info on it, but he couldn't open it.

I destroyed it before he could.

I need you to delay your return a few hours.

I'll be needing your services again.

He's armed!

There's certain information I need to stop from going public.

-My son. -Edgar!

-Open your eyes, my son. -Easy, Tita.

-Don't move him. -Alejandro?

I can tell something's wrong. What is it?

They killed my cousin, Alejandro.

He's laying outside like a dog.

I told you I had very good friends here.

Now, you're going to meet them.

This is General Abdelkader.

Welcome to Morocco, sir.

Thank you, Mr. African.

Thanks a lot.

Before you go on to Italy,

I've prepared a modest reception for you at my palace.

You shall be my guests of honor.

Thank you.

How much do I owe you?

Is this okay?

Don't come back here, Sergio.

What do you do now that you're not in the DEA?

What do you do for a living?

This is what you do, right?

Did you finally get that stupid idea of killing Teresa

out of your head?

If you go near him again,

next time we see each other, it won't be to fuck.

Come on in. Welcome to my party.

Thanks.

Would you look at that!

Jesus Christ...

No way.

It's more than what I had imagined.

I feel like a sheikh of Sinaloa.

I told you I had the best contacts in the world,

-partner. -Partner.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Hey.

Are they surprised because of what happened to your cousin?

Not so much.

Edgar was never my favorite cousin.

He knew I was gay since I was a kid.

And did nothing more than fuck and fuck with me.

He tried to blackmail me.

What?

He told me he knew about us.

And that he'd go public if I didn't give him money.

-When did that happen? -Yesterday.

He didn't go to the office to see you or to ask you for work.

He went to see me.

How did he find out about us?

-I don't know. -Alejandro,

I promise you I didn't say anything.

You know I've always been very discreet.

Danilo, I believe you.

-I believe you. I don't know. -How did he find out?

Perhaps he saw us at your mom's house.

We were going to meet to give him the money

so he'd keep quiet.

I see.

That's why you told me he couldn't work with me.

And to think that the money I was going to give him

for his silence

is now paying for his funeral.

Ale, babe.

You're too good with me and my family.

Really, no, yeah, I don't know...

what would I do if you weren't with me,

if you weren't here.

Thank you.

TANGIER, MOROCCO

-Hi, good morning. -And peace to you.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Let me introduce you to my special guests.

They come from Mexico.

Ms. Teresa Mendoza and Mr. Nazario Villa.

-As-salamu alaykum. -Nice to meet you.

Abdullah Bin Jhelum Sahib is a good friend.

And one of the richest, most powerful men in Morocco.

He just married his fourth wife.

Fourth? How can he handle that?

I couldn't stand one.

In our culture, you can have many wives,

as long as you have enough money and resources

to give them a home and food.

Well, congratulations. Go and keep an eye on them.

-Excuse me. -Go ahead.

It's quite a chauvinist culture.

Yes, but we're not here to talk about that.

We're here because I've invited important people,

wealthy people willing to invest in business.

That's what we're talking about.

Faustino. Faustino, where are we going?

Have you ever ridden on a helicopter, baby?

-No. -Okay.

Then, get ready 'cause we're going to visit Grandma.

Are you crazy or what?

Jesus Christ.

Hey, listen, then what?

Is the chopper ready or what, buddy?

-We must hurry. -Okay.

I don't know, something about his mom.

What's he talking about? Come on.

Let's go. We are in a hurry.

I will give you the info, but hurry up.

My friend Abdullah owes me some favors,

and he just told me that he's willing to invest

a huge amount of money in your business.

Well, that's great, isn't it?

I want to thank you, really, for letting us know

about the Galician. When Teresa told me

her African friend had all the info about the heist,

I didn't believe her 'cause it seemed really far away.

All the way to Mexico, but I've come to realize

the power that you have, sir.

And between us, I thought you were black

for being African... that you'd be dark as chocolate.

It's okay. It's okay, my friend. It's okay.

You don't have to continue. I understand perfectly.

Where did Rocio and Sanchez Godoy go?

Don't worry, they just told me they went out for a walk.

That Godoy asked for a favor to try to surprise Rocio.

Idiot, he's such a fool.

You're making me nervous.

If you don't know what to say, just shut up.

Why did you decide to have an abortion when your sister

-went to Spain with Teresa? -That again?

I don't care what Rocio thinks

or what people think.

It's my body and my decision. Okay?

I don't want to have a kid that whenever I look at him or her

I'm reminded that I was raped by his father.

You got pregnant when you were in love, didn't you?

Sorry, but for that same reason it's hard to believe

that you want an abortion.

You are the one who decides how to remember that idiot.

What would I tell him when he grows up and asks?

Should I lie? Should I repeat the story of Teresa with Sofia?

What are you saying? You didn't kill that Juanito guy.

Simple as that, right?

Okay, kid, you don't have a father, but it's not my fault.

When Auntie Rocio saved me from being raped,

she threw your father off the balcony.

You men see everything so damn easy.

-Paloma Clares. -Here.

Sorry, can I come in with her?

Who are you?

-The father. -Go on, please.

Doctor, is it necessary to have an ultrasound?

Can't you just take it out of me?

No... I have to find out how many weeks the fetus is.

Paloma, if you're certain of the date, let the doctor do his job.

It's around 12 weeks.

What's that?

The heart.

There are two ways to proceed with the abortion.

One is with a pill that you can take at the moment you decide,

or it can be done by suction.

What is that?

A kind of vacuum is inserted through the vagina

which will suck the fetus out.

Doctor, please stop. I don't want any explanations.

-Okay. -Good.

Everything's going to be fine.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

This party brings me lots of memories.

Santiago Fisterra, for example?

The first time I visited this house

I did ask you for a job for him.

I asked you to let him steer that boat.

The boat he later died on, remember?

Do you remember that night?

You see...

I could never forget that night.

For me, it was one of the most beautiful nights

of my life.

But a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell

because the past can also stir up sad memories.

Thanks for doing all this for my daughter.

Once more, I owe you.

Why are the both of you hiding in here?

Buddy, this party is so good.

When I return to Culiacán, I'll throw an Arab party.

I'm serious, really. Come on, take pictures.

Teresa was telling me that I can trust you

so we can do business together.

Good.

What's it about, and how much money am I going to make?

Well, my partner is the one who knows about numbers,

so... I will let her speak for the both of us.

Well, in that case, I'm listening, Teresa.

What do you propose?

-A monopoly. -A monopoly?

Between who? What do you mean?

A monopoly among the only four people

capable of owning the world market.

Who am I talking about?

Here, Mr. Zurdo Villa, Sanchez Godoy, you and I.

Look, Sanchez Godoy is South America's biggest producer of coke.

This gentleman here handles the whole Golden Triangle

in northern Mexico to El Paso in the US.

And you, well, you practically control

all the hashish that comes from Africa.

And me, well, I'd be handling the transportation.

From point A to point B. What else could we ask for?

If we do this together, we'll grow old and die

before we have a chance to count all our money.

No doubt, but first we have to find

the distributors, and for that, we're going to Italy.

Zurdo, the biggest buyers of the world market

will be waiting for you in Italy.

Really.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'm very good at making cocktails.

I prepare really good ones.

Perhaps I could be the fifth member of the "Moneypoly."

Well, it appears it's time to celebrate, right?

Let's have a toast 'cause we're back.

And let's toast to the return of the Queen of the South.

Cheers, partners.

Cheers.

They must already be doing business in Europe.

Good, 'cause that partnership between Zurdo and her

will make Mariano Bravo's campaign

run out of money sooner or later.

If Teresa does what she's supposed to do,

in less than a month, Zurdo Villa's cartel

will disappear and with that, Mariano Bravo's golden goose.

That's right.

And as a corrupt politician once said,

a poor politician makes for a poor politician.

Hey, what do you know about Lupo?

He went to Italy.

-He's meeting with Teresa. -Again?

She's always traveling.

She's costing me a lot of money, don't you think?

Well, don't see it as an expense.

Take it as an investment that will make you president.

Okay, that sounds good.

By the way, my secretary told me that...

Danilo had a cousin who got killed because he was a thief?

That's right.

Danilo.

Do you trust this guy?

Yes.

Sir, what can I do for you?

They told me your cousin got killed.

That's right, sir.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

And please, give my secretary the address

so we can send flowers to his family.

I appreciate it, very much, sir. You're very kind.

What about you? Aren't you going to say anything?

I'm so sorry, Danilo.

Thank you, Mr. Alcala.

If you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.

-The campaign, the wedding... -Of course.

One's job is the only thing that provides one a good life.

That's right, sir. Excuse me.

Do you really trust this fool?

Don't overreact. I've investigated his family.

-It's a good family. -A family of thieves.

-He's hardworking-- -Good morning.

Hey, babe.

What are you doing here, honey?

Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?

How's everything going here?

I was going to pick you up later.

When was that? No, babe.

-How are you, Alejandro? -I'm good, and you?

-I'm back. -Looks like it.

And Epifanio told me what's going on.

-Yeah. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

This wedding announcement will be a breath of fresh air

-for the campaign. -Enough, Alejandro, God!

It's my life and my future.

Not everything has to do with the campaign.

Okay, babe, it's fine.

Poor Alejandrito. He's looking out for us.

Besides, I've already warned him

that he can't make a circus out of our wedding.

-You will handle that. -I'll do what's possible.

Bu you have to understand, this is world news.

Speaking of weddings,

I have an appointment to see wedding dresses today.

I've thought of buying something totally restrained,

so that the press and social media won't say

we're showing off. Sound good to you?

-It sounds perfect. -Good.

I'm very happy. We'll be married soon.

Yes, honey, I'm happy too. Very happy.

I'd go with you to get the dress,

but they say the groom should not see the bride

before the wedding, or we'll have seven years

-of bad luck or something. -Yeah, something like that.

But you have to come with me to this afternoon's meeting.

Yes, yes, yes.

As of today, you have to be very close to me,

like gum to my shoe, 'cause we'll be attending every event.

I want them to always see my little baby next to me.

Mr. Candidate, we're in public.

I know, get back. Just get back...

Who would've thought? Mrs. Vargas...

Damn it!

Easy, my little vampire,

I have my own tricks. You have no idea

of the amount of doors I've opened without a key.

You never forget the things you learn as a kid.

Let's try in here.

Let's go through the kitchen. It might be open.

Charo, you don't know how much I've missed these stews.

Well, then you came right on time, 'cause this one is ready.

What are you doing here? Why did you come?

The police are looking for you. It's dangerous.

Where's Paloma?

She stayed in Mexico. I just came to say hi,

but I'm leaving now.

What do we do with the stew?

There's plenty of it.

I'm still not used to cooking just for your grandma and me.

Very elegant, Mrs. Charo.

Nice to meet you.

Who's this guy?

This is... Well, let me introduce--

Rocio.

What are you doing here?

You're thinner. What's wrong?

Is the Mexican not feeding you?

Grandma, I just came to say hi.

But I see that nothing has changed.

You're still strong and ready to fight.

Charo, can you escort... this gentleman to the hall?

Nice to meet you, ma'am.

Faustino Sanchez Godoy. It's a pleasure.

I have no interest in greeting you or anything.

Well, hold on a second, because we need to talk

about something.

Well, it'll have to wait, 'cause this is Spain

and in South America, things are done differently,

but in here, you prioritize the important things,

and I need a word with my granddaughter, alone.

What a temper she's got, bro.

What's he saying?

Faustino, please, leave us alone.

-Please. -Come with me.

How's your sister doing?

Really fucked up, Grandma, really fucked up, like me.

I've asked for custody of your half-sister.

What?

Sofia?

I hope this time you'll help me

and won't betray me again.

Think about Sofia's future. Do it for her.

Or do it in memory of your father.

She is your sister, after all.

Grandma, I don't understand.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to testify against Teresa Mendoza

so I can have custody of her daughter.

And then what? You keep her?

Yes. You come from Mexico.

You know the environment and you know what's going on.

You know their kind. They killed Siso Pernas and his cousins.

Who told you that?

She did. She's a criminal.

She even dared to threaten me.

If you testify against her, the procedure will be quicker.

Look, Rocio, I'm not asking you to lie.

Tell the judge the truth.

I'm afraid that...

if we don't hurry, Sofia could get killed.

I'm so sorry, Grandma,

but I won't testify against Teresa.

She has helped Paloma and me a lot.

Besides, Sofia means everything to her.

That's exactly the point. If she's such a good mother,

she'll want what's best for her daughter,

and I'm what's best.

I said I won't, Grandma. I'm sorry.

I won't testify against her.

Teresa is risking her own life

to save Sofia from being kidnapped.

Don't you understand? It's her mother's fault she's been kidnapped.

That kid is living a life full of dangers and persecutions,

just by being at her mother's side.

If you testify, you'll save her from a life that is doomed to hell.

What do you want, to see me in jail?

Grandma, I can't go testify,

the judge is looking for me.

I'm so sorry to interrupt, ma'am.

This conversation isn't over.

Little vampire, I got a call.

They scolded me. We have to leave.

Who's this dude that's calling you "little vampire"

and gives you orders as if he were your father?

No, ma'am, I'm not her dad, not at all.

I'm her boyfriend.

You're crazy, child.

Have you looked at him?

So vulgar and ordinary, like a pimp.

Listen, Rocio did tell me you were difficult,

but she wasn't even close. And a bad temper too, my lady.

Forgive me, but I'm nobody's lady.

Baby, say goodbye to this lioness,

'cause we're leaving this circus right away.

Goodbye.

Charo, pick it up.

For you, my queen.

Cheers.

Thank you. I knew you'd help me,

but this is too much.

You know well that I'll always give you anything

you ask for. I'll always be by your side

to help you.

-What? -No.

What are you laughing about?

Nothing.

It's just a perfect business, isn't it?

While you keep impressing this Mexican drug lord

as a strategy to rescue your daughter,

we're going to make lots of money, which is great.

It's perfect, isn't it?

You're right.

How's your daughter doing?

Not good.

She hates me.

She knows everything about my past.

And I have a hunch that even if I get her back,

I'll lose her forever.

When my kids were her age,

they hated me as well for everything I did.

Now that they're older, they live in Paris

and have a great life, which I pay for,

thanks to the business they hated so much.

Don't worry.

When your daughter grows up, she'll understand everything.

My dear.

I hope so.

But I have to rescue her first.

You're already doing it, right?

I love Moroccan dance.

What a great party!

It really is.

But...

I feel like I ran for two days in the running of the bulls.

Teresa, we haven't stopped since we left Mexico.

No, wait until we get to Italy,

because we're even going to see the pope, right?

Yes, that's right.

And since we're talking about the pope and Rome,

I want to baptize this business by putting

the first $100 million on the table

so that this monopoly that Teresa talks about

can get going.

And you, my friend,

are you ready to put $100 million on the table?

$100 million is a lot of dough.

That's a lot of bread.

We can open a bread factory with all that money.

Thank you for your trust, General.

There's nothing to be thankful for.

I know you can double or even triple that money.

-I trust you, Teresa. -Thank you.

But I want to make something clear.

I don't buy and sell drugs.

My thing is just transportation.

Nazario, you're up. What do you think?

Well, I'm in, that's why I'm here, right?

$100 million more.

We speak of millions as if they were potatoes.

My friend, I'm pretty sure we're going to make good deals together.

I already made the best deal of my life

by being Teresa's partner.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers, partners. -To the "Moneypoly."

I love it.

This one. This is the one I was looking for.

It's perfect.

-It fits perfectly. -Yes.

-I have something for you. -Okay, thank you.

This neckline is perfect. It's subtle.

Look at this.

And here I thought only virgins could dress in white,

like when I married Epifanio in church.

I was pure and innocent, never been touched.

And that's how God joined us.

And what God joins, let no man separate.

Let alone a woman.

That discreet dress doesn't look cheap.

-Is Epifanio paying for it? -How did you find me, ma'am?

Pure chance.

I came looking for a dress as well.

No, I'm not going to get married any time soon.

But you never know.

Look, I completely understand how you might feel,

but I think the time has come to stop all this, don't you think?

It's not good for a woman to be groveling over a man.

Listen to yourself.

Epifanio has already blinded you.

And I understand perfectly.

That charm of his.

He'll tell you he'll get you the stars and moon,

and you believe him.

You look at him with those big, beautiful eyes,

but then you find out he's the devil in the flesh.

The thing is, when you find out, it's too late.

Epifanio is a good man,

and whatever happened between the two of you

is not my concern.

Ma'am, I'm asking you to please leave us alone.

I cannot do that, Beba.

You only get peace in the grave.

I know Epifanio very well,

and nothing you say will make me change my mind.

You will get what you deserve.

I'll become your shadow, Beba.

Let me see it again. Such a gorgeous dress.

Is that the abortion pill?

How do you know?

I talked to Ray.

Fucker! He has such a big mouth.

But it's my decision.

It's my life, and I don't want anyone to get involved

or have an opinion.

Look, Paloma, I'll tell you something nobody knows.

I had two abortions.

And I didn't tell my husband.

I made him believe I was sterile.

I wouldn't give a baby to that asshole who hit me

whenever he had a couple of beers.

And let's not talk about my mother-in-law.

That witch encouraged her son to humiliate me.

What a pig!

But one day, I made a decision.

I formulated my plan one day at a time,

and one night, before Christmas,

I put sodium hypochlorite in the bottle of wine.

I poisoned them both.

The mother and her son of a bitch.

While they were writhing in pain,

looking at me and begging for help,

they crawled just like what they were,

two fucking rats.

-You killed them? -Yes.

Don't look at me like that, because I already paid my debt.

-Aren't you sorry? -No.

I'd do it a thousand times.

Conejo...

That story reminds me so much of everything I've been through.

Juan hit me and raped me,

and his mother knew it and never said a thing.

She hated me and enjoyed when her son hurt me.

I can't understand how a mother can let her son...

harm another woman.

I don't know what to do with this pregnancy.

Paloma, someone that regrets

having two abortions is speaking to you.

Your child's father is already dead

and won't be able to abuse you again.

Calderon de la Barca said, "Life is a dream,

and dreams are dreams." Okay?

You have the possibility of giving your baby

the opportunity to live his or her own dreams.

Think about it.

But whatever you decide, we'll be here for you.

Like I explained, she's a foreign student.

I want to know if her diploma is valid here.

Listen, let me say it again, you have to do a procedure

-of assessment. -Okay, but where?

I don't know.

You have to go to the secretary of studies.

They'll help you with that.

That's where they deal with foreign students.

But let me tell you, it's not easy.

I tried it once, and I couldn't do it.

Why?

Well, I was doing it 'cause I wanted to go to school

in the United States and... I don't know.

It's very expensive to study there,

so I ended up studying in the capital.

And what's a Mexico City student doing in Culiacán?

Truth be told, a lot happened.

I wanted to try something different.

I asked for an exchange, and I also wanted

to do my thesis here about safety in Sinaloa.

So, on top of everything, you're also brave?

No.

-What's your name? -Jimena.

Raymundo.

Well, everyone calls me Ray.

Let me borrow this.

I'll give you my number in case you ever need something,

I don't know, perhaps...

maybe you want to know the best clubs in the city.

Okay, fine.

Okay.

-Yeah. -See you soon.

See you.

Thank you.

Buddy, look, I wanted to tell you...

-Francesco. -Hello, Teresa, how are you?

I'm good, very good.

The truth is... I really want to see you.

-Have you landed in Palermo? -Yes, I'm here.

Am I hearing Arabic music?

Yes, I'm at a party here in Tangier.

-Did you talk with your kids? -Yes.

We're going to have dinner at my favorite restaurant.

They want to meet you, you know?

Did you tell them about me?

I've told them that you are... like a queen.

Dummy.

I'll send you the address via WhatsApp.

I'll see you tonight.

Bye.

That fucking woman is going to have to deal with me.

Epifanio, your ex-wife warned me,

she won't leave us alone.

She's got a lot of anger inside.

She said awful things about you.

Don't pay any attention.

Once we get married, she won't matter anymore.

She feels humiliated,

and a humiliated woman is capable of anything.

-She can die for all I care. -Don't say that, Epifanio.

She's the mother of your children.

Beba, have no pity,

because I'm going to explain something to you.

Once you become first lady and we get married,

she won't be able to say anything.

I don't know, Epifanio.

What I do know is that she won't sit idly by.

She won't leave us alone.

Look, she can do things the easy way

or the presidential way.

What's good, Lupo?

How's Sofia's arm?

I think she already forgot about it,

because she got ecological and started cleaning the island.

-Don't trust her. -Don't worry,

I'm keeping an eye on her.

So, are you already with Teresa?

I'm having dinner with her.

Say hi to her for me, okay?

Yeah, no doubt.

I just called to check in on Sofia.

Have a nice day.

Hey, kid, since you're in the mood to clean,

why don't you do the dishes?

And mop the floor, too, please.

Why don't you learn to fish first?

Man, what a little pest.

You haven't caught any, right?

Don't be so angry, go inside now.

He seemed like a kind man to me.

Maybe a little old for her,

but he seemed nice.

You are as crazy as she is.

He could be her father.

Your husband, may he rest in peace,

was also older than you, ma'am.

Charo, don't compare my husband

with that nasty South American.

And why I am talking to you? You are so stupid!

-Mrs. Cayetana. -Yes.

Mr. Rodrigo is here.

Rodrigo.

-Good evening, Cayetana. -So glad to see you.

My apologies for showing up unannounced.

No, it's fine. I meant to call you.

I haven't been able to convince my granddaughter Rocio

to testify against the Mexican woman.

Don't you worry, Cayetana.

I'll give it a try with Paloma now.

-Since she's younger... -You don't have to.

JUDGMENT

Charo.

Charo.

They granted me custody

of my granddaughter Sofia.

My God.

Thank you, Rodrigo. Thank you.

My pleasure, Cayetana.

I can't believe it.

But if the girl isn't with her mother,

how can she give her to us?

With this paper.

We'll send it to Mexican authorities so they know and are aware

that my granddaughter is in Mexico,

and they have to find her.

She's also been kidnapped.

This is the way to demonstrate all that, right?

Exactly, all that is expressed in the judge's decision.

Mrs. Cayetana, don't you think everything's a little rushed?

The girl is with the kidnappers.

It could be dangerous for her.

I will go find my granddaughter.

-What are you going to do? -Pack my bags.

We're going to Mexico.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

You must be Teresa.

A pleasure, I'm Vita Puzzi,

Francesco's ex-wife.

Nice to meet you, Vita.

I'm fine.

I imagine that the video is for you, the Queen of the South.

This is the letter that Sofia sent me

inside a bottle.

400, 500, 550...

They are all confirmed.

They're old allies of yours and mine.

I want to see this property's documents.

Yeah, no problem. I'll bring them right away.

No. I'll go with you.

I want to personally make sure everything's fine.
