A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Willy was my teacher.
PREVIOUSLY...
I really loved that bastard.
The message is very clear, Teresa.
Everyone around you is in danger.
Hello.
Is your granddaughter named Sofia Aljarafe?
Who are you?
Do you know Sofia? Are you her friend?
She's my friend, and she needs your help.
She asked me to call you and tell you she's been kidnapped.
Who gave you my number?
It's written on the paper I found inside the bottle here at the reservoir.
How's the prettiest girl in the world?
Good!
How are you?
This is Renata, my daughter, the best thing in my life.
I have a daughter your age.
Sofia is about to turn ten, actually.
I have a friend named Sofia, too.
Kira.
The mission was completed successfully, sir.
Age turned Willy into an idiot.
Sir, I have to say it's an honor and a pleasure
to work with one of our best agents.
Good luck, girls.
Thanks, Oleg. I went over the plan, and everything's perfect.
Sheila, Rocio... Zurdo Villa didn't get this powerful by being stupid.
He always acts cautiously.
He's got a sixth sense.
Tesa.
Be very careful.
You're entering the monster's den.
I know, but don't forget that I lived inside that monster for many years.
I know what it likes to eat, but also what makes it throw up.
Good luck.
Anton.
Sir.
Swear on your life you won't let anything happen to her.
Don't worry.
What's this?
Look at this buffet of cuties.
Zurdo, that's what I call babes to the third power.
Especially you, my little vampire, with those red lips.
Everything ready, Zurdo?
Ready.
I don't know why, but I feel like this trip
is going to change our lives, Teresa.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
"Help. I've been kidnapped.
Help me, please."
Why did you write this?
I was mad at you when I wrote that.
I wanted someone to help me,
and that's when I got lost in the forest...
and fell in that hole.
Why do you have her phone number?
I read it on your phone, and I memorized it.
I see you have a good memory, like your mother.
Did you call this person?
Remember when I asked if you knew my grandmother
and why you had her number?
You told me you didn't.
I'll ask the questions.
Did you call this person, yes or no?
I didn't call her. Check if you want.
I can call her right now.
You know what?
Do whatever you want. You never trust me.
This time I'm going to trust you.
I need this to draw. It's mine.
You're going to spend a few days with Batman.
I have to travel.
You're going to go see my mom, right?
Are you seeing my mom or not?
No!
You're a liar.
If you really cared about me, you wouldn't leave me here alone,
especially when I'm hurt.
You know what, Lupo?
Have a good trip.
I'm going to record a video. I'll be right back.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
The other day, Mr. Rangel showed up and said he wanted to see my nails.
I think he wanted to know if they were real or fake.
I didn't understand why, and he didn't tell me.
Another thing I remember was that he said
he knew I didn't kill Father Anselmo.
Sweetie, tell them about the university.
Come on, Mom. Let her finish.
He asked where I was before they planted the gun on me.
I told him I was at Juan Aldama because that's where I go to school.
That's good information. Could you repeat the name?
Juan Aldama.
I'm going to ask.
Did Mr. Willy suffer a lot?
No.
They shot him in the head. He didn't know what hit him.
You can't tell anyone you met me.
Not even Epifanio Vargas or his right hand, Alejandro Alcala.
If you do, all our lives are in danger.
Understand?
Yes.
Sir, I must warn you that Agent Perez is as stubborn as Willy.
In fact, he went back to Washington to visit him,
and he's been watching my nephew Sergio.
Does your nephew know anything?
- Does he know about Kira? - No, sir, absolutely not.
Agent Perez gained his trust by pretending to be someone else.
He got into my house and stole a pen drive
with classified information, but he couldn't open it.
I destroyed it beforehand.
Now my nephew is completely out of the picture.
I'll make sure Agent Perez doesn't go near him again.
I need you to delay your return a few hours.
Of course. May I ask why?
Because I need your services again.
There's certain information I need to keep from going public.
Little vampire, come here.
Don't leave me alone. I'm afraid of airplanes.
Who is it? Is it your daughter?
Since I can't meet her in person, at least let me see a video of her.
Let me see her.
I can't see your daughter?
You've already met mine. What's the problem?
There's no problem.
I'd just rather introduce her to you in person and not through a video.
Besides, we...
we have to do business
and we have to get to know each other better.
Truth is, I'm very wary when it comes to my daughter.
You don't trust me?
You've been inside my home, we're partners,
and you've met my daughter.
I don't see the danger in me seeing your daughter in a video.
Come on. Let's see her.
Tell him the truth.
Teresa's embarrassed to tell you, but I'll explain it.
We women have little problems.
Actually, they're not problems.
They're just girl things.
Private things that wouldn't be nice for a gentleman like you to hear.
That's what the video is about.
Oh, her period!
I'm not that ignorant.
Isn't she too young for puberty?
That's not exactly it.
She didn't get her period...
but her boobs are starting to develop,
and she wants to show her mom in the video.
That's why Teresa can't show you.
You didn't have to be so specific.
I didn't know. Sorry.
I'm such a dummy sometimes.
I'll introduce her to you soon. I promise.
Hope so.
Hey, man, I'm parched over here.
How about some aguardiente?
- Sure. - Yeah.
Lencho! Aguardiente and a tequila for Teresa.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Holy Child, be kind and bless this plane
so we get to Morocco safe and sound.
Amen.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you look so conflicted?
Don't tell me it's fear of flying.
You fly every time there's a full moon.
No, that's not it.
We're going to be 124 miles from home.
So?
Who do you want to see over there?
Don't tell me you've got a boyfriend.
I'll tie you to my ankle and never let you leave.
A boyfriend?
No, no boyfriend.
But I do miss my grandmother even though she hates me.
And Charo, my nanny. Oh, well. It's stupid.
No, none of that.
Love always comes first.
And you know what?
Money goes a long way.
For example, you can use it to get a helicopter and get there in a snap.
Better yet, tomorrow you're going to see your grandmother and your nanny.
One thing, though. I need a favor.
I want to see that smile again.
That's it. What a beauty.
Oh, damn. This thing's taking off. Give me your hand.
If this plane doesn't go down in the Bermuda Triangle,
you'll be in your house tomorrow.
What are you looking for?
You saw everything already.
All right, man.
Show me the cameras that face the north exit.
Stop, stop.
Stop there.
Zoom in, zoom in.
Zoom in on that guy.
Alejandro Alcala.
Give me a copy of this.
This visit never happened,
you don't know me,
and you never saw me, all right?
You got it.
The police also took a copy.
Very nice.
Now we're finally getting along.
If the police contact you again, let me know.
I bet they're not as cool as I am.
If you do, you'll make a lot of money.
You're very punctual, chief.
Nine on the dot.
Cool.
Give me that.
Give me this.
Did you make any copies or upload it to the cloud?
Cloud?
You know why I'm buying the phone and not just the picture.
Because you're a millionaire.
Because a technician is going to analyze it.
In a few hours I'm going to know if you sent it to someone,
if you uploaded it somewhere or if you posted it anywhere.
I'm not stupid, chief.
I know how much your secret is worth.
You're all paid up. We're good.
This is the last time we see each other.
You're not inviting me to the wedding when you marry my cousin?
See you later, sir.
Hey!
What?
How much do you want for your jacket?
Nothing. I love it.
I'll give you 10,000 pesos.
Shit, it's only 2,000 in Tepito.
You going to sell it or not?
What are you going to do with my jacket?
Rub it while you think of me?
You're a real perv.
Behave yourself.
And take care of my cousin.
If you two have a kid, name him after me.
Edgar.
He'll be smart and handsome.
He's going through Polanco on Avenida President Masaryk.
Go after him.
Sheila, take this seat. It's more comfortable.
Oh, my...
My heart is racing, my queen.
Why? What happened? Don't scare me.
Is everything all right with the plane?
I don't know if to tell you, but...
- What? - Don't get scared but...
Something tells me that when we get back to Mexico
everything will be different between us.
Why do you say that?
Don't act dumb.
If this works and we get our business running,
not even the clouds will be able to stop us.
I don't know...
Maybe then you'll be able to see me as the man in your life.
Zurdo... I can't think about love or any of that stuff right now.
Not even a little?
What's he doing?
I haven't changed
I'm in love, maybe even Just like yesterday
Maybe you've heard That I was seen alone
Crying over your love
I'm not ashamed that despite The experience
Life has given me
I'm holding out for your love
Even though I don't have it anymore I can't forget you
I'm holding out for your love
Even though I don't have it anymore I can't forget you
Hit it, bro!
How do I forget you?
How do I bury
This damn love
That torments my heart daily?
How do I forget you?
I see you in every person
You can't even see me because
You'd rather keep quiet
About our love...
Yeah!
Beautiful!
I know I don't sing like Chente,
but was I really so bad as to warrant that expression?
No, you sing great. I liked it a lot.
Plus, I love your sense of humor. You make me laugh.
You should let your face know. You look so serious.
It's not because of that.
I still get really nervous on airplanes.
Are you afraid?
Yes, but not because of what you might think.
Every time I get on another plane,
I feel like I'm never coming back to my country.
I swear on my life that we'll return to Culiacán together.
And not in 20 years. In two days.
Don't worry.
My purse!
Stop, stop!
Police!
Please stop!
- What happened? - I just got robbed.
- They took, my purse. - It's him.
What'd he look like?
He had on a black jacket with a green dragon on the back.
- Which way did he go? - That way!
That way.
Did you get Sofia's video?
Yes.
Did you bring what I asked for?
There's no credit limit, and it's under Francesco Belmondo's name.
A plane is waiting for you at hangar 15 of Metropolitan Airport.
What are you going to do about what Teresa asked you?
Introduce her to my kids.
If she catches you, you're dead.
You know that, right?
Hey, handsome.
What's up?
Put it on.
No way. That's my jacket.
Put it on, moron.
- What? - Put it on!
I sold it to some guy.
Yeah, to Alejandro Alcala,
but he changed his mind and is returning it.
I'm not returning what he gave me.
No one's asking you to.
I'm telling you to put it on and get out of here.
Fine.
Beat it!
Police?
I was just robbed.
I'm on Reforma in Chapultepec.
Of course I saw the guy.
He's on a motorcycle, wearing a black jacket
with a green dragon on the back.
Please, he almost shot me.
I've never been more afraid! He's armed!
Thank you.
Make sure Zurdo Villa doesn't see you.
It's better if he doesn't know you.
And get everything you can out of her about him.
Pressure her.
It's imperative that this operation be successful and swift.
Remind her that seeing her daughter again depends on it.
You hired the best.
I know what my job is.
I also think the best is falling in love with his objective.
What are you talking about?
I don't know, but I feel something here, Lupo.
Something tells me that as soon as you finish the mission
you're going to miss her.
Or am I mistaken?
Thank you.
Shit!
Okay, Auntie, tell Edgar to call me.
A friend is looking for people to work at his garage.
He might be interested.
Thank you, son.
You've always been a good example for your cousin.
The bad thing is Edgar doesn't like to work.
He's as lazy as his late father.
Don't worry, Auntie.
Everything will be fine.
Freeze! Pull over!
He's armed!
What's that?
Come inside! They're shooting at each other.
- Don't worry, Auntie. - Good Lord!
- Son! - Edgar!
Get up.
Easy, Auntie. Don't move him.
Edgar, talk to me!
Calm down, calm down!
They killed him!
My son!
They killed him!
- My son... - Edgar!
Mission accomplished, sir.
Yes, sir, I'm going back to Washington.
What'd you do to him?
Step aside, sir.
What'd you do? He's my cousin. Why'd you shoot?
The suspect had assaulted several people.
He refused to pull over when we ordered him to,
and he threatened us with a gun.
The suspect also had cash on him.
A ton of money, ma'am.
Did your son always carry this much cash?
Alejandro?
Hi, Danny.
Change of plans. Let's meet.
Where are you?
At my cousin's house.
Why do you sound like that? What's wrong?
They killed my cousin, Alejandro.
They killed him.
I don't know what happened. They just killed him.
The police showed up and shot him.
They said he was resisting arrest.
Now he's on the ground out here like a dog.
My God.
I'll see you here. Thank you.
MALAGA, SPAIN
Hello.
It's me. Emilio.
Why are you calling me?
I'm calling all my clients because I lost all act information.
Has anyone called in my name
or have you gotten any strange calls?
Now I understand.
What?
I received a rather bizarre phone call.
A girl was telling me she found a bottle
with a message inside asking for help
that's allegedly from my granddaughter.
In fact, it was from an unknown number.
I'm sure it was someone who found the information
and wanted to extort you or prank you.
I'm sorry.
Yes, to be honest, I didn't believe it one bit.
Well, Emilio, there's nothing left for us to discuss, and I'm very busy.
I hope you have a very nice day.
Mrs. Cayetana, how are you?
How was your night? Were you able to sleep?
You want to know who called me?
Emilio, the detective, remember?
He told me that the silly girl who called was a prankster.
Apparently, he lost my number.
I'll drink it to make you happy.
Thank you.
Open wide. Come on.
There you go!
Slurp it up.
Slurp it up, not out.
What's up, Lupo?
You're an idiot.
Get rid of all the bottles inside the house.
Bottles? What for?
Do what I'm telling you.
Not a single bottle!
Especially the wine bottles.
Destroy the corks, please.
Also, don't leave your phone within the girl's reach.
She has a contact list inside her head.
Understood?
Okay, I'm sure you have your reasons.
Let me talk to her.
Here you go.
Now you've done it.
Lupo's about to give you an earful.
Go on.
What do you want?
You lied again.
You opened a bottle, dumped out its contents
and put a piece of paper inside
on which you wrote a message asking for help.
How do you know? Who told you?
Someone found it.
They called your grandmother.
But don't get your hopes up.
I just spoke to your grandmother
and told her it was all a mistake.
You bastard!
It's a shame your plan didn't work.
Lupo: one, Sofia: zero.
Goodbye, young lady.
So young and such a drunk. Look at that.
I'm going to send you to Alcoholics Anonymous.
FORENSIC SERVICES
Excuse me.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for being here, sir.
You have nothing to thank me for.
I needed to be with you and your family.
My deepest condolences to all of you.
They killed him, sir.
I'll be right back. I'm going to the restroom.
Sure, of course.
Besides being hot and stubborn,
she's also a thief.
What do you mean?
She stole my heart.
Look. Give me your hand.
Touch this here. What do you feel?
Nothing, right?
That's because she took my heart with her.
I'm going to need it back before I die of a heart attack.
Oh, how sweet!
How sweet!
Not once in my 30-year career
has a man ever said anything like that to me.
Really?
What do you do?
I'm a psychiatrist.
- Really? - Yes.
I shouldn't brag, but I'm very good.
I'm very patient listening to men...
I mean my clients, my patients.
That's crazy.
What a surprise.
I wouldn't have imagined that.
You're full of surprises, Zurdo.
I'll be right back.
I'm going to tell Teresa to hurry up.
We don't want you to die.
I know women like going to the bathroom together,
but on a plane...
Open up. It's me. Sheila.
Where's Zurdo?
He's out there, going crazy over you.
If you could hear the things he's said.
Teresa, that man would do anything for you.
I'm telling you right now.
I don't want to hear it.
I feel terrible.
I'm betraying him, and he believed in me.
No, no, no.
You're both victims.
You're being forced to betray him.
What's wrong? You like Zurdo?
I just want to see my daughter's video.
I need to.
They've asked me to record this video to say I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm guessing the video is for you, Mom.
I don't know what to call you.
Mom or Maria or Teresa.
The Queen of the South.
I have nothing else to say to you. Bye.
Did you see that?
My daughter hates me.
They didn't even give me a chance to explain to her what happened
and why I did what I did to her father.
One day you and your daughter will see this video
and you'll laugh about this tragedy.
Girl, I've been through a lot in life,
and I've learned that what seems important today
could be a joke tomorrow.
Your daughter will understand, and she'll believe you.
The problem is that my daughter is just like me.
We forget, but we never forgive.
We're right here, sweetie,
so you won't break down.
We're all together, Auntie.
I spoke to the officer in charge
and asked him to open an investigation.
If the police acted erroneously, they'll go to prison, ma'am.
You see?
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
They're going to pay.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
I think my cousin really blew it this time.
The police found a bunch of cash and a gun on him.
Look at my aunt and my mom.
How could he do that to them?
Calm down.
I know nothing can ease your pain,
but please let me cover the funeral expenses.
No, sir, of course not.
You barely know us.
Please.
Let me do it for you and for Danilo, whom I do know and care for dearly.
Let me help ease some of the pain.
God bless you, sir.
Thank you so much.
What do you want, Manuela?
What were you doing in my house... Esteban?
What are you talking about?
You were pretending to be someone else to get close to my nephew.
Did you really think I wouldn't notice?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You went into my house, into my room,
went through my things and stole something.
You're confused.
I saw you in a picture on my nephew's phone.
I'm warning you. If you ever go near...
What?
You're going to kill me?
I think you know me well enough to know what I'm capable of doing.
Get out.
Get out of my house!
Fine.
Oh, wow.
Is this a movie premiere?
Only a queen like you gets a welcome like this.
I told you I had good friends here.
You'll meet him now.
This is General Abdelkader.
- General. - Teresa.
Welcome to Morocco, dear.
Thank you.
This is Nazario Villa, a Mexican friend of mine.
Welcome to Morocco, sir.
Teresa has told me a lot about you.
What did he say?
He's welcoming you.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes, I do. I learned in Spain.
Forgive me. Welcome to Morocco, sir.
Thank you so much.
This is Rocio, a Spanish friend.
- Charmed, young lady. - General Abdelkader.
A pleasure.
And this is a very dear Colombian friend.
Faustino Sanchez Godoy.
This is Sheila.
I've had the pleasure of meeting this fine lady.
This is Lencho. And Anton. They guard us.
Gentlemen... and ladies,
before we continue on to Italy, I'd like to ask you
to join me for a modest reception at my palace.
You're all my guests of honor.
Follow me, please.
You really have a palace?
Two.
Damn.
How'd you get that?
Turn this way.
Smile.
ON THE NEXT EPISODE...
JUDGMENT
Come in.
Welcome to my party.
If you ever go near him again,
the next time we see each other won't be to fuck.
What is that?
Oh, great.
Is that the abortion pill?
How do you know?
It's my choice.
It's my life, and I don't want anyone to meddle in it.
