A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE
[Faustino] Even from out here I see a shit-ton of dudes.
It's a whole army.
How'd the Italian get in there?
[grunts]
They're all standing around looking at something.
That must be where they're keeping Teresa.
Francesco, are you crazy?
This thing is going to explode.
[breathing heavily]
[beeping]
Don't move!
[in Turkish] Kill her!
Kill them!
[gunshots]
[grunts]
[in Spanish] There's no genie from a magic lamp to save you from this, asshole!
Don't shoot. Zurdo, put your gun down, please.
If you swear on Allah, I know you'll keep your word.
[Epifanio] What do you mean you didn't know Willy Rangel was killed?
Was it you?
- Me? - Yeah.
No, of course not. I'm not crazy.
To be clear, it's one thing to get rid of a corrupt priest.
A DEA agent is quite another.
Sir.
Erick Sheldon.
You haven't left the DEA, babe.
You're working on something secret for my boss.
[Teresa] I want your word.
If something happens to me, find Oleg and my people.
Help them rescue my daughter.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
[phone vibrating]
[in English] Excuse me.
Hello.
- [Alejandro] Sir, it's me. - Alejandro!
I look forward to meeting you tomorrow.
By the way...
Kira says hello.
Sir, Vargas knew about Willy's death
so someone may know about our operation here in Mexico.
Someone who?

[boat engine revving]
[Batman] [in Spanish] What are you doing, kid?
Killing time!
The last time you killed time you almost set the whole island on fire!
Don't do good things that look bad.
[boat engine revving]
Lupo!
[Batman] Good thing you're here. You almost didn't make it.
I want to go home.
My Batarang's got a Batcave to explore tonight.
[laughs]
What's with these bags?
Help me out with that.
Ow.
Thank you.
Wait.
Give me that.
What's that on your face?
Nothing.
Happy birthday.
Thank you!
[grunts]
I'm growing more every day.
Save me some cake, all right?
No.
Don't get too drunk.
You know how crazy Sofia gets when she's wasted.
You didn't tell me it was your birthday, you little runt.
That's messed up.
Aren't you going to say happy birthday?
I will soon, sweetie.
As soon as I come back.
- Bye, Batman. - Bye.
Faster, faster.
- [Sofia] [in Italian] Let's go. - OK.
[in Spanish] How'd you know it was my birthday?
You were with her, weren't you?
[in Italian] I bought you two presents.
One is in the house.
And the other?
[in Spanish] The other...
is what I'm going to tell you.
I was it Italy with your mother.
You know that's not a gift for me.
It makes me mad just talking about it because I imagine you two together.
[in Italian] Sofia, please. Just a second.
[in Spanish] Listen.
Your mother and I are friends
because she doesn't know that I'm your kidnapper.
You don't know how much she's suffering
because she can't be with you on your birthday.
She's risking her life
to get you back by her side.
OK.
[in Italian] Can you?
[in Spanish] I'll do it.
[sighs]
We need a hug.
I'm so happy to see you. You're finally safe and sound.
You don't know how scared we were.
We need to celebrate.
- It's a miracle you're alive. - Yes.
Where's Paloma?
She's not feeling well, but don't worry. She'll be here later.
- The pregnancy? - Yes.
- Tequila? - Yes, please.
Today wasn't my day to die.
That look...
I've seen it before. What happened, Tesa?
Nothing. I'm just tired.
[singing in Italian]
- ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ - ♪ Happy birthday to me ♪
- ♪ Happy birthday Sofia ♪ - ♪ Happy birthday Sofia ♪
- ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ - ♪ Happy birthday to me ♪
Wait.
Make a wish before you blow out the candles.
I wish that everything you said about my mother is true.
[in Spanish] Your wish has come true.
Everything I said is true.
[in Italian] Hold on a minute.
[in Spanish] Another gift?
My flag-throwing uniform.
Yes.
What about my mom?
She doesn't know I bought it for you.
Just imagine this gift is from her.
She's thinking about you
and hoping you have a happy birthday.
Thank you, Lupo.
That present is missing something.
Tatan!
The flag you used to win this year's flag-throwing championship.
[in Italian] There's only one condition.
You have to show me how you do it.
Fine.
Thank you, Lupo.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
[in Spanish] Teresa, what an adventure.
Not even the Count of Monte Cristo when through so much.
I don't know that Count,
but I can assure you that the best story
is your love story with the Italian.
Francesco's got everything it takes to make Teresa swoon.
Am I right?
Don't exaggerate.
What do you mean? He saved your life.
What matters right now is that we sealed the deal.
Zurdo bought it hook, line, and sinker.
He wants us to start now.
We have to continue with our plan.
I need to get my daughter back as soon as possible.
Excuse me,
I'm going to check one of the camera angles.
Be right back.
Tesa.
I was really touched when you thought you had reached your end
and you asked me to take care of your daughter.
I know how much she means to you.
I'm honored.
I trust you completely.
What about the Italian?
There's no comparison.
I barely know him.
I didn't even know he was a soldier.
We can't forget that's the reason you're alive now.
If you can call this anguish a life.
Tesa, you can be sure
that today your daughter is thinking of you more than ever.
You know what?
Every year I would take her to the place
where she chose to be born, the sea.
I would sing her happy birthday in Italian
and then "Las Mañanitas".
She and I alone in the middle of the Mediterranean,
the place where she also chose to change my life.
And right now I don't know where she is.
[sobbing]
I don't know if they're treating her well.
I don't know if she's celebrating her birthday
or if she's thinking of me.
Tesa, stop torturing yourself.
[sniffles]
The hardest part is over.
You're inside Zurdo's organization.
He completely trusts you and won't suspect a thing.
You'll see,
soon you'll have your daughter back
and we'll go very far away.
[in Italian] Want to make a wish?
[in Spanish] Wait.
Ow, my arm.
Oh, no.
[in Italian] Sorry.
- Sorry! - I'm sorry!
- Sorry. - [in Spanish] No, please.
Got you.
Come here.
[in Italian] You'll feel more free like this.
Bravo!
Bravo, champ.
- Lupo. - [in Spanish] Yes?
[in Italian] Are you in love with my mom?
I'd rather not answer.
[in Spanish] Are you in love with her or not?
I don't know.
But...
when I'm with her, I wish I could stop time
and spend more time by her side.
You're in love with her.
[in Italian] What do you know about love?
[in Spanish] I'm a woman and all women have feminine intuition.
That love is going to end
when she finds out you kidnapped me and that you're lying to her.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
[Epifanio] Well? What now?
We've already invited every authorized media outlet, sir.
Careful.
I don't want any of those reporters that only sniff my behind like dogs.
I don't want to appear
in any of those two-bit gossip rags with Bebita.
No, of course not, sir.
Each press member has been exclusively authorized by us.
Any picture they want to publish must have our authorization.
We have everything under control.
OK.
Where's Alex?
Does he work alone now? Where is he?
I'll locate him right away, sir. Don't worry.
- Hurry up. - Excuse me.
Look who it is!
Excuse me.
Speak of the devil and she shall appear.
My beautiful Bebita.
How are you?
- Good, honey. - Nervous, right?
- Are you nervous? - What do you mean?
Sit here.
We're getting married tomorrow.
Tomorrow you'll be my wife.
You'll be Mrs. Vargas,
my love for the rest of our lives.
Yes, honey.
[Alejandro] Leave a message after the tone.
[beeps]
Alejandro, it's me.
I know you don't like for me to leave you
these types of messages, but where are you?
Epifanio keeps asking for you.
The wedding is tomorrow
and when I woke up you weren't home.
Would you please call me?
[in English] What are the odds of Vargas being president of Mexico?
Well...
the last polls gave him a 35% chance.
Hmm.
That's nothing, Alejandro.
At this point of the game
Vargas should have had this in the bag.
But that's why we have you in Mexico, buddy.
It's your job to make him a winner.
And he will win, believe me.
We've still got time.
Your president is not happy with your lack of progress.
And I gotta tell you something, pal...
he's way less patient than I am.
I know what's at stake...
including my life.
What do you know...
Check mate.
Son of a bitch.
Good game.
Don't forget what I said.
I won't.
Ha-ha.
[club music]
[Jimena] [in Spanish] What do you do here? Let me guess.
You're the DJ.
No, not at all.
I don't work at El Submarino.
I mean, I do work here, but not in this area.
I work in the back.
I handle the administrative part, bills, invoices...
It's kind of boring.
I really like this club.
I could get used to coming here.
Oh, yeah?
Well, it gets much better later.
Yeah, it's cool.
[in Arabic] Here you are. Enjoy.
[in Spanish] Thanks.
- Excuse me? - Enjoy.
How strange.
A Middle-Easterner working at a club in Culiacan.
Does he work with you?
Cheers.
Cheers to the prettiest girl to ever set foot in this place.
No, there are prettier girls in here.
Hi, Teresa.
[Teresa] Hi!
- How are you feeling? Better? - Yeah, better.
Great.
Hi.
Hi!
- How are you? - Good.
I'm going to get to work.
I might have some luck tonight
and meet a guy who's into facials.
- Have you seen Ray? - Check him out.
He's busy with a very pretty customer.
He hasn't stopped talking to her since she arrived.
[Sheila] Look, this certainly isn't my first rodeo.
I know a thing or two about men.
Between us girls, I'll tell you what I see.
He wants her.
Ray can do whatever he wants. He's not my boyfriend.
I can hook up with the first idiot I meet too.
Maybe not while I'm pregnant.
Stop being ridiculous and let's find out who she is.
Let's go.
[phone ringing]
Batman?
Hi, it's Sheila. I'm back.
Listen, when are we going to finish what we started?
Ball's in your court.
I know my mother well.
When she finds out you kidnapped me,
she's going to slit your throat.
[in Italian] The day will come for explanations.
[in Spanish] And what are you going to explain?
That you forgot to mention that tiny detail
about you being the one who kidnapped me?
Don't even think she'll thank you for taking care of me.
You're right.
I don't deserve her forgiveness.
Don't get your hopes up.
You know she's got a Spanish boyfriend.
Pedro is a great guy.
You've never told me why I was kidnapped.
What are they making my mom do in exchange for my freedom?
You're better off not knowing.
Is it the mafia she used to be in?
Who's the boss? The guy who came last time, the candidate?
Or someone who wants to hurt my mom?
Why won't you answer me?
Who planned my kidnapping?
Don't insist on asking.
The only thing I can tell you is that you'll soon be with your mother.
You know I don't want to be with her.
Well, start getting used to the idea.
You're going back to your mother and you'll have to forgive her.
Forgive her? After she killed my father?
Are you serious?
[in Italian] Sofia, I already told you.
[in Spanish] Everything has an explanation.
I know her reasons, but it's not my place to tell you.
- [in Italian] Understand? - OK.
[in Spanish] I have a surprise for you too,
but I need to get the drone so you can see my present from the sky.
Let's go.
A surprise from the sky?
From the sky.
WASHINGTON DC, USA
- [in English] Mr. President. - Gentlemen.
- Alejandro, thank you for coming. - Mr. President.
So let's talk.
[automated voice] The subscriber you have dialed is not in service.
Please try your call again later.
[car stereo playing]
So if you're interested in the house
I can just send the forms through.
It's OK.
It's a very beautiful house I think you gotta...
Absolutely. It's very, very beautiful.
- So it was very lovely to meet you. - It was great to meet you.
- I hope to hear from you soon. - Thank you.
Thanks.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hi.
Uh, do you have an appointment?
- The house is for sale? - Uh, yes, I'm Susan Vega, the realtor.
Do you wanna...
Um, what happened to the owner?
Oh, I believe they left the country.
Do you wanna look at the house?
It's very beautiful and it's a really good price.
- No, no, thanks. - You're welcome.
[club music playing]
[in Spanish] This is so embarrassing.
Come on. Smile, girl.
Hi!
What's up?
- How about the music? Good, huh? - Yes.
Ray, introduce us to your friend.
Sure.
Jimena, this is Rocio and that's her sister Paloma.
- Hi. - Hi.
[Ray] Girls, this is Jimena.
Nice to meet you.
So what's up?
How do you know each other?
She's the girl I told you about.
She helped me get the information on you re-enrolling in college.
Oh, right.
- Thank you. - Sure.
What brings you to Culiacan to study?
Well, love.
Oh!
Well, not love.
The thing is my grandfather is sleeping
with who used to be my favorite professor.
They're even getting married, so you can imagine all the drama
and how much my classmates teased me.
I got sick of it and decided to finish the semester here.
But it's good that your grandfather is starting over.
So long as he's a real man who keeps his word
and not a lying, cheating bastard like so many others.
Right, Ray?
Are you OK, Tesa?
I think you should go home and get some rest soon.
I wish.
I can't sleep. I can't close my eyes.
I can't stop thinking of my daughter.
I think another tequila would help.
You know me.
To Sofia.
To her.
[indistinct chatter]
Has Ray told you that he and Paloma, my sister, are dating?
Shut up. I never said that.
No, hold on.
I don't know what she's talking about. We're not together.
Paloma, you told me you kissed.
Shut up. You're so annoying.
They're not officially dating, but they are involved.
They're not getting married like your grandfather and your teacher.
Hey!
Calm down.
I can't believe it.
No fucking way. What the hell is Grandmother doing here?
I gave her the address.
Teresa is going to kill me.
What?
Let's go.
I had to see it to believe it.
My granddaughters came to Mexico to become whores.
Fucking unbelievable.
Welcome to El Submarino.
Welcome to my homeland, Cayetana.
I've seen her somewhere before.
Who? The lady who just arrived?
No, her. The good-looking one.
Her face looks familiar.
I don't know who you're talking about. Cheers.
To what do we owe the honor?
Don't tell me you like tequila.
If you do, I've got the best tequila in Mexico.
I didn't cross an ocean
just to have a drink with you in this dump.
Then say what you came to say and quickly because I've got a short fuse today.
What are you doing here?
Charo, you lied to me. You gave her the address?
Is this why you brought my granddaughters here?
To turn them into whores?
So in addition to trafficking drugs, you also traffic women.
Watch your mouth.
- We're not whores. - It's not what it looks like.
Quiet, both of you!
We'll talk later.
Is this where you plan to raise your daughter?
Is this the shitty life you plan on giving Sofia?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
You can shout and talk however the fuck you want at your house,
but this is my property and my country,
so show some respect before I drag you out by the hair.
No one's kicking me out of this rathole
without you and me talking about Sofia first.
- Sofia is none of your business. - Of course she is.
Sofia is my business because she's my granddaughter.
- Oh, so now she's your granddaughter? - Yes, now she is.
You came to Spain to do the DNA test.
You wanted me to show you mercy and forgive you
for killing my son, her father!
- Grandmother, please. - Shut up!
- Ma'am, calm down. - Shut up!
Enough!
You dug your own grave with that DNA test, murderer!
What the hell are you talking about?
Don't come here to start shit!
Much less to threaten Teresa!
I can tell you're a fascist from a mile away!
Shut up! No one asked you, dog face!
Fuck you...
Please, please!
Calm down!
Get over here, if you dare!
Don't start with me!
Sheila, Sheila!
Let me go.
If you want to leave here alive,
hurry up and tell me what you have to say
and then fuck off.
- Don't make me... - What?
Sic your whores on me to kill me?
Take this, Charo.
Bring it on.
Grandmother, stop.
I haven't forgotten the warm welcome you gave me.
Didn't you sic one of your bulls on me?
Well, I can do the same.
We're a pack and you won't have the same luck as me.
I believe you. You'd kill me like you killed my son, Teo.
- What the hell are you talking about? - Shut up!
Lower your voice. You're making a scene.
Teresa, please don't hurt her. She's sick in the head.
Show some respect for your grandmother!
Whatever it is you have to say, say it someplace else.
Tesa take her to the back office.
Follow me.
Give me that.
That Mexican is about to find out who Cayetana Aljarafe is.
Let's loosen up!
Ahmed, beers for everyone on the house!
Come on!
Ma'am, order whatever you'd like.
[in Italian] No, hold on. Ill do it.
Wait, slowly.
[in Spanish] I'll do it.
I don't know how it looks from the sky,
- but it's what I have for you. - [in Italian] Gently.
Careful.
Be careful.
Move it gently.
[drone whirring]
What's that?
- [in Spanish] Look. - What is that?
[reading in English]
[in Spanish] In Spanish it means, "Nothing here, but Sofia."
No!
It looks great.
You're right.
Now you're in my heart.
Sofia: 1, Lupo: 0.
[in Italian] I'll get the drone. You get the remote control.
[in Spanish] I like being able to use my arm again.
[in Italian] You're getting good.
[in Spanish] Come on.
- Should I turn it on? - No.
No, I don't understand.
I don't know what this paper says.
You understand it perfectly.
You can't take my daughter from me.
Yes, I can, and I'm not the one who says so.
A judge does.
Your daughter Sofia is under my custody.
I'm my granddaughter's legal guardian.
You have ten days to appeal the judge's sentence
before a high court.
I wouldn't if I were you, though.
No one's going to give a child to a drug dealer
who's also wanted by Spanish authorities for murder.
I may be all of that, but before any of it,
I'm Sofia's mother.
No one can take her from me.
Read.
I can.
You'll have to give her to me.
What part of "my daughter was kidnapped" don't you understand?
I have no idea where she is.
She'll turn up soon enough and I'll take care of her.
I won't allow my granddaughter to grow up
among whores, drug dealers, and murderers.
You don't care about my daughter.
You just want revenge.
Think whatever you want.
I couldn't care less.
Look at what I think of your little court order.
Remember how I once told you I wouldn't touch you
or return your slap?
If you keep testing me, you'll see what I'm made of
and you'll regret it.
You think ripping up a paper cancels a judge's orders?
I have several certificates already
and one of them is going to the Spanish embassy in Mexico
so the police will look for and find my granddaughter Sofia.
Look, Cayetana,
if you go to that embassy
and you fuck up my plans to rescue my daughter in any way,
I swear I'll make you suffer
like a pig in a slaughterhouse.
Understand?
I put nothing past you,
but my lawyer in Spain knows that if anything happens to me,
the entire weight of Spanish law will fall on your head.
And worst off all, Sofia will be sent to a foster home
and you'll never see her again.
I don't give a shit what your justice says
or some judge I don't even know.
I live for my daughter.
If you take her from me, I won't have a reason to live,
but I will have a ton of reasons to kill.
So the chick who owns this bar is your boss.
Who?
- Am I speaking Chinese or something? - No, not at all.
Sorry, I was still thinking about the mess that happened with that lady.
What were you saying?
Nobody makes a fool out of me.
Nobody's making a fool out of you.
Hey, don't go. Calm down.
This girl shows up and says her sister is your girlfriend,
and you get all nervous and deny it.
Then I ask you for your boss's name and you say you don't know.
She's not my boss!
Oh, please.
When you figure it out, call me.
We barely had time to drop our bags off at the hotel.
Mrs. Cayetana didn't want to waste a single second.
You don't know how sleepy I am.
Don't change the subject, Charo.
You tricked me.
You said you were sending my school stuff just to get the address here.
I always pay for what your grandmother does.
Regardless, you shouldn't have given her the address.
What could I do, Rocio?
I'm there day and night putting up with your grandmother's antics.
I've had it with being nice and understanding.
Who tries to understand me?
What's done is done. Don't worry.
Don't get mad at us.
I am mad, damn it.
I'm human too.
I wanted to see you so badly,
and you haven't even given me a hug.
Come here.
What does Grandmother say about my pregnancy?
What's she going to say? It can't be mentioned.
She turns into a demon.
I'm not surprised.
You two don't stop upsetting her.
So to top things off, you take her side.
Come on, Charo. Throw us a bone.
Care to tell me why you're dressed that way?
You look like two street walkers.
We can't tell you because you tell Grandmother everything.
But if you're worried about this being a brothel
or us two being whores, we're not.
Why are you dressed like that?
Ahmed, serve me a tequila, please.
And the cheese stands alone. Poor Ray.
He's so cute too.
Right.
Lately, every time Ray comes around you get a little starry-eyed.
Starry-eyed?
Starry-eyed and cross-eyed.
You like that kid, don't you?
Like as in like like... yes.
I like him.
He's already chasing two other bunnies, though.
Another would be too much.
Oleg, I'm worried about Teresa.
She's been up there way too long.
Tesa can defend herself.
[Sheila] I wouldn't be so sure.
I've heard terrible things about that woman in Malaga.
They've been in there for a while.
I'll take care of it.
All of this is happening to me because of you.
You sent your dogs to hunt me down in Italy.
You were determined to find me and if you hadn't,
I'd be happily celebrating my daughter's birthday right now,
instead of living this hell for which you're to blame!
Oh, Teresa.
Your hell now resembles mine.
How does it feel to have a child taken away?
Now you know what I've suffered
since you killed my son, Teo.
Yes, but your son, Teo was a dog.
A piece of shit person and a criminal.
I won't tell you again.
You have two granddaughters,
but you don't care about them.
You're fixated on my daughter
because you want to get back at me.
What do you know if I care about them or not?
Do you think I enjoy seeing how you've brainwashed them
to get back at me?
Do you think I enjoy seeing how you've turned them
into whores like you?
I'm not afraid of you, Mexican.
You can't kill a person twice.
You already killed me ten years ago.
[Oleg] Tesa.
She's not worth it.
Ma'am, you're pushing your luck.
Leave before it runs out.
You've been warned, Mexican.
As soon as my granddaughter, Sofia, turns up, she's mine.
I don't want her to spend her life
running from the law like you.
Don't pay attention to her, Tesa.
[Teresa] She brought a court order.
She wants to take my daughter from me.
Charo, it's time to go.
Already? But you just got here.
All right, my loves.
Our time was short, but I'm happy I got to see you.
Grandmother, can we talk for a minute?
About?
Your new family here?
About why you had to hide in a third-world country?
About why you work at a brothel?
This isn't a brothel
and we're not what you're insinuating.
It's not what it looks like.
The emperor's wife must not only play the part,
she must also look the part.
And what I see here are two whores!
[Charo] Mrs. Cayetana, don't talk about the girls like that.
The girls? Look at their tits!
Say goodbye.
Unless you want to stay here to work too.
No! Holy Mary!
Mother of God. Let's go.
[sighs]
All sentences can be appealed.
Tesa,
we're closer than ever to getting Sofia back.
She wants to go to the embassy to turn in that order
so the authorities will know.
Do you know what will happen if she does that?
All of Mexico will know I'm here
and then my deal with Epifanio is fucked.
Zurdo will find out I'm using him as bait to get my daughter back.
Everything will be fucked.
Calm down.
We just have to think.
I've never felt closer to losing a war.
I feel like I'll never see my daughter again.
What are you saying?
Maybe that fucking hag is right.
Maybe she doesn't just want revenge.
Maybe she really wants a better life for my daughter.
In the end, I'm not giving her a good life.
She doesn't deserve this.
[in English] Thanks you so much, Alejandro.
We're counting on you for this mission.
[Alejandro] I'll do my best, Mr. President.
Sheldon, you make sure that Alejandro gets everything he needs.
- I will. - [Alejandro] Thank you, Mr. President.
[Erick] You know, you're one of the few Mexicans our president respects, right?
