A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
PREVIOUSLY...
[Cayetana] Listen, Mr. Pernas, the fact is that damn woman
is back after nine years.
She must pay for all the harm she's caused you.
Where can I find that Mexican?
There's nothing harder for a parent
than not being able to see their child.
[indistinct chatter]
Maria, what happened to Sofia?
Why the hell are you assuming
that something happened to Sofia?
- Hello? - It's me...
Teresa.
Do you know where I am, asshole?
On a fucking flight to Mexico
because Epifanio kidnapped my daughter.
[Willy] You're going to need help from your friends.
Let's meet in Mexico.
[Epifanio] We meet again, Teresa.
Welcome to Mexico, goddaughter.
Sofia is going to help me
by making you turn me into the next President of Mexico.
What must I do to get my daughter back?
I want you to destroy Zurdo Villa's empire.
I want you to infiltrate them.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
- Mom? - Hmm?
Do you really believe something bad will happen to us someday?
Why do you always have nightmares
about me being kidnapped?
[in Italian] Do we have enemies?
Bad people abound.
[in Spanish] So, always listen to what I tell you.
Please, Sofia.
If, God forbid, you're kidnapped one day,
find your chance.
There's always a chance to get away.
All right, honey. Come on.
And now you're a taquito.
[giggles]
All set.
Oh, this almost...
Look, Mom!
- Hey! - I escaped.
I've learned that lesson.
No, don't do that.
Don't escape from the taquito.
Still not done yet?
Hurry up.
- Hurry up! - I'm old enough to dress myself.
Leave!
Don't give any of that crap.
Leave, leave.
Leave!
I'm going to break your face.

[Teresa] The candidate who appears to be beating Epifanio
is getting money for his campaign
from a man called Zurdo Villa.
Zurdo Villa.
Do you know who he is?
He's currently Mexico's most bloodthirsty drug trafficker.
He controls 80% of all drug production
and has a ton of international networks.
What I still don't get
is what Epifanio Vargas really wants from you.
He wants me to infiltrate the cartel
and destroy it from the inside out.
That's dangerous.
You don't know that guy.
Willy, I'm willing to do anything for my daughter.
Why don't we report Epifanio instead?
For kidnapping and extortion.
We could do it here in Mexico.
If I open my mouth and betray him,
the first thing he'll do is kill my daughter.
But not before torturing her by telling her about my past.
She has no idea who I am.
That's if they don't tell her
you ordered her father's death first.
- I didn't mean it like that. - Don't.
I died nine years ago.
I buried my past.
I lost my name because you asked me to, remember?
What was the point of having Sofia grow up
thinking her mother is Maria Dantes
and giving her a fake last name?
None, Willy.
And do you know why?
Because the Mexican justice system is shit.
It comes with a price tag and has a very short memory.
- You all right? - Yeah.
Ms. Teresa, I'm very sorry about your daughter.
I don't want anyone else to know I'm back in Mexico.
I've been training him for four years. He's trustworthy.
He'll be useful down the line. He'll help you.
The fewer people involved, the better we fare.
Yeah, but we need more people and more weapons.
I promised to look after you, to keep you safe.
I put you in harms way when I asked you
to testify against Epifanio Vargas.
That's why I feel so fucking guilty
about what's going on.
So, I'm going to fix this mess myself, got it?
Are we clear?
Don't mention Teresa Mendoza's name.
I don't want her to know about her mother's past.
Don't worry, boss. You got it.
[Morgana] Don't worry, boss.
I promised her mother I'd look after her,
so, if anything happens to her,
I'll kill you all.
You'll be first.
[Morgana] Don't worry, boss.
Look, I know how to deal with brats like her.
Morgana, you still don't get it.
If you hurt the girl, I'll hurt you.
- Got it? - [Morgana] You can trust me, boss.
I don't fear the living.
Only the dead, boss.
[Epifanio] If something happens to the girl,
her mother will behead everyone here.
May I?
[Epifanio] What is it, Lupo?
What's going on? Why aren't they talking?
That girl is capable of wreaking havoc in a second.
He's told me she's wild.
She almost killed a man in Italy.
She destroyed a wine cellar
and almost brought the plane down when she escaped in it.
She almost ran into her mother then, too.
[exhales]
- What do you suggest? - Nothing.
I'll continue to work Teresa.
I'm done with the girl.
I will warn you, though.
Morgana won't be able to handle Sofia.
If you don't hire a professional,
she'll escape again.
How much do you want to handle her personally?
I'm not a nanny.
How much do you want, Lupo?
MASSA MARITTIMA, ITALY
Damn!
So, this is where the Mexican has been hiding all these years.
She picked a beautiful place to die.
Cousins, who are we?
The Pernases.
[in Italian] What the fuck?
Good morning. Italian?
[in Spanish] No, Spanish.
Even better.
We'll understand each other well, my fellow countryman.
You only have to answer one question.
Where is Teresa Mendoza?
You were asked a question. Answer it, damn it!
[grunting]
Teresa Mendoza, goddamn it!
The Mexican!
No one named Teresa lives here!
You're mistaken, damn it!
A Mexican woman lives here, but her name is Maria.
Maria, is it?
Show me a picture of her.
There aren't any.
She doesn't like to have...
Come on! I don't have all day!
Come on, Goddamn it!
Hurry up!
[coughs]
Out of the way!
That's her.
We have Teresa Mendoza.
Where is she?
I don't know.
Where is she?
I don't know!
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
[Teresa] I don't need a nanny.
[Jonathan] If I were you, I wouldn't even trust my own shadow.
I'm here to protect you. Let me check your room.
No way.
You know what? Willy didn't betray you.
I know that for a fact.
He's always spoken very highly of you
- and he claims he's never met a woman... - Shh.
A transmitter?
- Willy and who else knows? - No one else.
I'm sorry.
I must've left it on after my last mission.
- It was a stupid mistake. - No, that was no mistake.
This is a betrayal.
Come on.
I'm not a fucking idiot.
Tell Willy I know he's spying on me.
- That's why he sent you, right? - No.
[Teresa] Don't come near me again.
- I swear... - Leave!
- Come on... - Get out of here!
Leave!
[phone rings]
Pedro, I was just thinking of you.
You won't believe how much has happened.
Your name isn't Maria.
Why didn't you ever tell me your name was Teresa?
- Are you at my house, Pedro? - Yes.
Just like we agreed.
You're not alone, are you?
Three men.
Someone gave you away.
Are you okay? Did they hurt you?
That doesn't matter anymore.
I haven't told them anything. Don't worry.
No!
[Siso] How romantic!
[Pedro coughs]
[Siso] I see that no matter where you go,
you break hearts and ruin lives, Maria.
Who are you?
Don't you recognize my voice or my Galician accent?
Siso Pernas.
How the hell did you get my address?
- Who gave it to you? - [man] Get up!
You have many enemies, and your enemies are my friends.
Does the name Cayetana Aljarafe ring a bell?
Did you say Aljarafe?
We need to talk, Maria. We have unfinished business.
- Don't say anything. They'll kill you. - Pedro! Pedro!
[Siso] Shut up!
Don't piss me off even more.
Leave Pedro alone, Siso.
He's not involved. He's not even aware of my past.
I'll ask you one last time.
Tell me where you are or I'll kill Pedrito.
Don't tell him anything! I'm dead anyway!
Siso, please hear me out! Pedro!
That fucking bitch isn't going to talk.
[Siso] There's nowhere on Earth you can hide from us, Maria.
And you can't return to Italy
because you're wanted by the police.
What are you talking about?
In Spain you killed Teo Aljarafe,
and in Italy you've just killed your boyfriend Pedrito.
Don't do this, Siso. Please don't do this, damn it!
Motherfucker.
Bye, handsome.
[yelping]
[panting]
[Jonathan] Are you okay?
Teresa?
Teresa!
[screaming]
Teresa, open up!
Teresa!
Open the door or I'll knock it down!
Go away, damn it! Leave me alone!
[Siso in Italian] Hurry! It's an emergency!
I just saw a woman shoot a man.
Then she ran off and disappeared!
Street Gian Battista Vico, number two.
Massa Marittima, yes.
I beg you, find this woman. She's dangerous.
MARBELLA, SPAIN
[phone rings]
Hello.
Is Mr. Oleg Yasikov available?
Who wants to know?
A friend.
We can't give out information about Mr. Yasikov to a friend.
Do you have a name?
Tell him...
Tell him Teresa Mendoza is looking for him.
I'm sorry,
but you'll only be able to speak to Mr. Yasikov in person.
If you want, I can tell him you're coming to see him at the club.
Yes.
Tell him I'll be at Jadranka tomorrow.
We'll meet there. Tell him it's urgent.
Thank you.
[Jonathan] Wait!
Teresa, wait!
Listen up, asshole.
Someone I love was just killed.
Stop following me or I'll have to use my gun.
And my aim isn't bad either.
Leave me alone.
Willy, come get me. Teresa escaped.
[Siso] Talk to me, Russian.
Tell me I was right and that the Mexican called the club
asking for Yasikov.
Go on, say it.
I told you to stay with her. What happened? We had a deal!
She found a transmitter in my shirt's collar.
You're an idiot.
[man] Go fuck yourself, faggot!
[panting]
[grunts]
[phone rings]
Fucking Willy.
I'll get the truth out of you this time.
The hard way, fucker.
[phone vibrates]
Yeah?
Emilio, I've left you messages and you haven't called me back.
I've been busy, ma'am.
The Mexican left her house.
I want you to find her and finish the job.
- What are you talking about? - You know that woman killed my son.
She has to pay for her crime.
You paid me to find Teresa Mendoza
and I did.
I finished the job you sent me on.
I'll pay you whatever you ask
if you do to her what she did to my son Teo.
I want her to drown at sea,
I want her body to be found rotten and half eaten.
Ma'am, be grateful I'm not reporting you.
I'm an investigator, not a murderer.
Goodbye.
Turn around, darling.
I have some lucky rosemary for you.
Piss off, you fucking gypsy!
You evil hag!
May your flesh rot and may dogs feast on your bones!
[street music playing]
Keep walking.
Who are you?
Who the fuck are you?
I'm Lady Justice, Teresa.
And I sentenced you to death nine years ago.
Keep walking.
[Willy] Was it sending a feed?
[Jonathan] Yes.
It's a double-frequency GX.
I don't remember leaving one on my collar.
Where's the other one? Who has it?
Manuela.
I shouldn't have brought you along.
[Teresa] Where are you taking me?
[woman] Shut up.
[Teresa] What is this place?
If you're going to kill me, at least tell me what I did.
You killed my sister.
That's what you're guilty of and I'm your executioner.
Who the hell is your sister?
[both grunting]
[groaning]
[man singing]
[man] What happened to her?
[man singing]
Out of my way!
[indistinct chatter]
[people screaming]
[trumpet sounds]
[grunting]
Who's your sister?
You and that bitch Paty O'Farrell killed my sister Veronica.
[struggling]
Spit it out already.
Who the hell was Veronica?
Guadalupe Romero!
Lupita!
I had nothing to do with her death.
Whoever told you it was me, is lying.
Besides, if your sister was DEA,
she was the one who told Willy where to find me.
My sister was an undercover agent.
I didn't know any of her partners.
Then how the hell did you know I was back?
You'll never know, bitch,
because you're going to die today!
[grunting, panting]
Wait! Listen to me!
Your sister infiltrated my company so she could turn me over to the authorities.
And that's why you killed her!
- It was an accident, damn it! - And so is this!
[phone ringing]
You fucking traitor, Willy.
[Willy] Teresa, I really hope you listen to this message.
The transmitter...
That was a mistake.
It was never on.
I hope you'll trust me from now on.
[door opens]
Get up.
Get up!
You've slept enough.
You have to shower, brush your teeth.
Get up or I'll make you get up.
Trust me, boss.
I know how to deal with brats.
I don't fear the living.
Only the dead, boss.
Go on now.
[in Italian] Hi, Dad.
[in Spanish] I'm so glad you're here. I was waiting for you.
Let's brush our teeth.
Otherwise, our breath will smell like Morgana's.
What are you doing?
Talking to my dad.
[in Italian] I love you so much.
[in Spanish] Dad, your shirt is dirty. Hand it over.
Have you lost your marbles, Sofia?
You can't see him because my dad is dead.
Dad, what are you doing? No, don't touch her hair!
You're possessed!
Spirits and souls in purgatory.
[sighs]
Babe, we've delayed our trip to Washington.
We'll be back by midnight.
Okay. I'll wait for you at your apartment.
You can tell me what Mexico was like while we make love.
You know what?
Wear a skirt and no panties.
We'll go out to dinner
and at the restaurant under the table...
I have to go now.
The boss is here and he's not in a good mood.
See you at your apartment.
[in English] Bye, sweetie pie.
Bye.
[man in Spanish] Five more.
One, two... Slowly.
Three, four...
Hey.
I told you I was only going to use it for ten minutes.
Thanks.
[phone ringing]
[timer beeps]
- Did you hear that? - Yes.
Don't move.
[timer continues beeping]
Don't even breathe, okay?
When you sat down,
you activated a fucking bomb under your balls,
so don't move.
Okay?
Only one other person knew about this car.
[Jonathan] Teresa Mendoza.
- Slowly... hand me the cell phone. - All right.
Slowly.
Here it goes.
[phone beeps, rings]
How long before the bomb goes off?
Come on, Willy.
We have one minute and 44 seconds.
Teresa, the transmitter was Jonathan's mistake. Enough already.
Blah, blah, blah. You're wasting time, Willy.
So, who won the grand prize?
Who sat on the bomb? Was it you or your spy?
Jonathan. Tell him not to get up.
If does, he's going to blow like a popper.
1:33.
[Willy] All right.
Which cable do I have to cut?
What's the order? Teresa, what's the order!
You know, no one makes explosives like the Russians.
Especially ones that can't be deactivated.
I'm a quick study, you know.
Ma'am, I swear the thing with the transmitter was a mistake.
I was careless.
All right, I'll give you a little gift.
The first cable is free,
but the other two come at a prize.
Cut the green one.
Be careful, Willy.
Don't let your nerves get the best of you
or you and your friend are going straight to hell.
Done.
- Which one's next? - Hurry up!
Teresa, which one's the next fucking cable?
How many people at the DEA knew I was coming back to Mexico?
Three. My boss, Jonathan and me.
- You're lying. - No, it's the truth!
Hurry! Only 48 seconds left.
Who told Veronica Cortes' sister I was back in Mexico?
Who blabbed?
No one did! None of us did!
It's true! Hurry!
Only 39 seconds left, damn it!
Cut the white wire.
How do you know about her?
Where'd you find her? Where'd you two meet?
Manuela is Veronica's sister,
but I've only seen her a handful of times.
We don't have time! Which wire should I cut?
- That bitch tried to kill me. - Red or blue, Teresa?
Which wire should I cut, damn it?
Who told her? Just tell me.
Otherwise, you're fucked.
Manuela works for us at the DEA.
Maybe she followed us and figured it out.
We didn't tell her anything!
That's all I wanted, to confirm what I already knew.
I didn't tell her you were here in Mexico.
- Only ten seconds left! - What cable should I cut?
- Leave, Willy! - No!
Go, goddamn it!
The red one!
Wow. Bravo, Willy.
You saved him just like you saved me. You're a hero.
Except it was a fake bomb.
I bought the watch he sat on at a subway station for 200 pesos.
Sorry, but I had to get you to tell me the truth.
You're a fucking traitor.
Go straight to hell, Willy.
[Batman] It's done, boss.
My guy is watching her closely.
If Teresa goes to the moon,
he'll ride on the rocket with her.
[phone vibrates]
Oh, damn.
How about that? It's her.
Hello, Teresita Mendoza.
I know Teo Aljarafe's mother gave you my address in Italy.
Wow, you move quickly.
- Who told you? - I called to say
I'm sending my daughter a very sweet video
and I want her to send me one back.
I want it today. Not tomorrow or the day after.
Today. Is that clear, Mr. Epifanio?
MÁLAGA, SPAIN
[Paloma shouts]
Since when do you like bulls, Paloma?
Lately she's become a huge bullfighting fan, Grandma.
No one asked you for your opinion.
Mr. Pernas, any news about the Mexican?
She's closer than you think.
She's probably getting ready to return to Spain right now.
That's impossible!
She's wanted by the Spanish authorities.
She can't come here.
She'll use a fake passport to get in.
Don't worry, though. I know where to find her.
All right.
Please let me know when the job's done
so I can host a mass to grant my son's soul eternal rest.
Little bullfighter... be careful.
- Gate 24. Bon voyage, Ms. Lopez. - Thank you.
[Cayetana] Although it's just a heifer, it's still an animal
and it'll fight to the bitter end.
God forbid it's your blood
that gets splattered across the sand.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE...
We still don't have any news about the Mexican's whereabouts.
I'm not here to ask you,
but rather to inform you of where she is.
What do you have to tell the country about Teresa Mendoza?
What I don't understand is why Teresa took mercy on you.
Tessa!
Someone here wants to see you.
