[gunshots]
[Oleg] What did you see on the drawing,
about that name? About Lupo?
[Teresa] Lupo is a nickname.
Oleg, Lupo is Sofia's kidnapper.
[groans]
Lupo's the mastermind.
I knew you two were criminals!
You're murderers!
[Rocío] Please don't call the police! We're leaving!
[Francisca] You bitch!
[groans]
[Jonathan] That motherfucker is a walking pharmacy.
He's nothing but trouble.
[in English] Hey, man, enjoy it.
[in Spanish] He deals controlled substances
like antidepressants.
[Manuela] Sergio!
[Jonathan] Manuela's nephew isn't just a normal dealer
[cell phone rings]
[Teresa] Hello?
[Rocío] Teresa, please, help us!
Please, help us!
The police are on their way!
I'll get there before they do. Give me the address.
[cell phone rings]
[Flores] The Aljarafes?
I'm close. I'll be right there.
Send backup.

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
MARBELLA, SPAIN
[Oleg] Yasily Ivanovich.
Yasikov?
[in Russian] What are you doing in Spain?
My superiors told me you were never coming back.
Never say never.
From mopping floors in my nightclub...
to now managing Jadranka.
There's always a coward hiding behind a traitor.
[Anton clears throat]
Remember Anton?
He's here for payback for what you did to his family
when I returned to Moscow.
And I...
I want to return the favor for the services you provided
to the Mexican.
I don't like calling it... Russian roulette.
It makes us sound suicidal...
and we Russians are no cowards.
You know what I call this game?
Wheel of Fortune!
I'm not that vengeful.
You only have to pull the trigger twice.
Six chambers...
just one bullet.
The odds are in your favor.
Please, don't do this.
I have a family.
Anton had a family, too,
and you killed them when he no longer had my protection.
That's why you're dedicating the first pull of the trigger
to him.
[Ivanovich] No!
And the second is a gift from the Mexican
for selling her out to Siso Pernas.
Today you'll find out...
if you're a lucky man, Ivanovich.
Grab the gun.

MALAGA, SPAIN
That must be the hostel's landlady. She's exactly as Rocío described.
That woman locked them in their room.
- Ready for action? - Yes.
Police. Homicide division.
We've been informed that the Aljarafe sisters are hiding here.
We have a warrant for their arrest.
I would've thought you'd come in a squad car.
Ma'am, try to follow.
We have orders to arrest those girls.
Your accents are very weird.
Do you have a problem with Italians being police officers?
Uh, no.
I called you myself.
I've been expecting you.
I'm Francisca, the owner of the hostel,
but everyone calls me Paca.
Follow me.
[exhales] I've locked them upstairs. Right this way.
Those bitches trashed the room and tore out the sink.
Look at what they did to me!
[Francisca panting]
You should draw your weapons.
You have handcuffs, right?
We know what to do.
Just to be clear, I'm risking my life
by helping you arrest these criminals.
Huh?
So now you know.
A favor's repaid with another favor.
[Francisca panting]
I tried talking to them,
but they immediately...
got violent.
They straight up attacked me. They're awful.
It's right there, but I'm warning you,
the one that looks like a junkie is very violent.
I think she's high.
[Francesco] We're going to open the door.
National Police!
We're special agents with the police.
If you resist, we'll have to use force.
Put your hands up!
[siren wails]
Your fellow officers are here.
There's Flores.
Let's go.
A favor for a favor.
No more of these inspections for the hostel.
This place isn't a hostel, it's a dump!
[Francisca] Don't insult me, you piece of shit junkie.
[Teresa] You're the one being insulting. That's enough!
[Francisca] Why haven't you cuffed them?
You're not police officers.
But you're a fucking thief!
[Paloma exhales]
- Let's get out of here. - [Francesco] Not that way.
That way.
[panting]
[in Russian] Let's end this quickly, Anton.
All right, all right!
He's changed his mind.
[sighs]
[gun clicks]
[applause]
You're a very lucky man, Ivanovich.
One more time and then you'll be rid of us.
- [bangs] - [muffled scream]
[Flores, Spanish] I'm Captain Flores of the National Police.
What happened here?
Who are you?
[coughs] The owner of the hostel.
My wife is tied up.
- [Francesco] They beat us up. - [Flores] Relax, ma'am.
They threw my wife down the stairs.
[Flores] Who did this? The Aljarafe girls?
Yes, them. The girls on the TV, wanted for murder.
[Teresa] This way. Quickly!
Be careful.
They're armed and very dangerous.
Where are they? Did they get away?
[Francesco] No, they went that way to get their things.
- What room are they in? - Room 103.
- Give me the keys. - Okay.
[Francisca groaning]
- [Flores] Your wife. - Yes.
[glass shatters]
[Francesco] That way, sir.
Untie your wife,
and go outside and wait for my men.
- Yes. - Do it.
- Calm down, ma'am. - Calm down, darling.
Eh...
The police are here. Calm down.
Run.
Next time you won't be falling down any stairs
but out a third story window, you understand?
Huh?
- In here. Quickly. - [Rocío] What about you?
Don't come out until you see Francesco.
Lock the door!
[door clicks closed]
[Rocío whispers] Flores... That's Flores.
[groans]
When an enemy is digging his own grave,
never take the shovel from him.
[in Russian] Rat!
[door creaks]
[in Spanish] What's up, Flores? Long time no see, huh?
Teresa.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Now this is a surprise. What are you doing here?
Why ask when you already know?
I was wrong about you.
I thought you'd take advantage of the opportunity
your DEA friend Willy gave you to start your life over.
I thought you'd start a family and live an honest life,
but no, that's too boring for you.
And now you're here, nine years later,
to give me the chance to bring you in.
Put those on.
You could never catch me, and it's made you obsessed.
You can't stand the fact a woman got the better of you,
as a cop and as a man.
Get over me, fool!
Somehow I used to admire you.
Yeah, it's weird.
But now you're back for vengeance
and to reclaim what was taken from you, right?
- What are you talking about? - Put them on, Teresa.
Put them on!
All right, hand them over.
Turn around and don't move.
You broke into the Aljarafes',
you threatened Cayetana,
and you admitted to her face that you murdered her son, Teo Aljarafe.
You know what? I used to admire you, too.
Until you fucked up by buying Teo's conscience
and turning him against me in court.
Since you couldn't take me down, you bought off a traitor.
Teo decided to cooperate with law enforcement. Let's go. Walk!
[Teresa] He confessed something else to me before he died.
He betrayed me because you offered him just two years in jail
in exchange for him keeping all the millions he stole from me.
The thief accusing his victim.
Did you hear that? Dad was no saint.
[Teresa] You call that justice, Flores?
You didn't obtain the warrant for my arrest
on your own merits as a cop.
You did it by acting like the worst of gangsters,
so you tell me,
- what's the difference between you and me? - [Flores] Between you and I?
I'm trying to make the world a better place.
- How about you? - [laughs] Oh, please.
You don't know me. Judge me if you want.
Talking's easy, but you haven't been through what I have.
[Flores] You show up here,
and suddenly two girls who'd never so much as broken a dish
suddenly become murderers.
Turn around.
[Teresa] What are you insinuating?
What am I insinuating?
You decided to reclaim the money Teo Aljarafe stole.
You contacted Cayetana, but she refused.
So you came after Teo's daughters to blackmail them.
You've got an arrest warrant for the murder of Teo Aljarafe.
That's besides the other thing you did in Italy.
Another boyfriend you got out of the way.
Why the hell are you called the Queen of the South
- when you're a black widow? - First of all,
that accusation was rescinded. Get up to date.
It was Siso Pernas that murdered Pedro.
Oh, yeah? The Pernas wild card?
He almost killed a friend of yours the other day.
Conejo.
What? Is she okay?
Rocío, Paloma, this is Captain Flores!
- Come out! - [laughs]
What are you doing?
I swear to God, I'll blow your brains out
if you hurt those girls, you hear me?
Put your gun down.
We both know you're not going to shoot me.
That's not your style, Flores.
Then don't push me.
What the hell have you done with the Aljarafes?
You obviously still don't have a clue.
Take these handcuffs off. I've got better things to do.
[Flores] Oh, yeah? You've got better things to do?
Know what we're going to do?
We're going to find the Aljarafes
and we'll all go to my office together.
- You have to clear all this up for me. - Mm-hmm.
- [Flores] You hear me? - [Teresa] Sure, but some other time.
- [Flores groans] - [Teresa gasps]
[Teresa] Where the hell is the key?
- Go get the girls. - Where are they?
[Teresa] Over there. Paloma! Rocío!
Go get them. They're in that room.
[knocks on door]
[police] Police, open up!
[Francesco] The police are here. We gotta go.
[knocks on door]
[Rocío] We can't leave. They're at the door.
[Teresa] No, no, wait, I know what to do.
[Conejo] If you could at least string two sentences together...
But no, they had to send me someone boring.
Cute, though, I won't deny that.
It's just too bad you're more serious than a receptionist at a morgue.
[keys jangling, door unlocking]
Goodbye.
[door closes]
No way the Mexican isn't here in the next 24 hours.
Stay back, stay back!
Please, do what she says. They're crazy and very violent!
[Francesco] Yes, they killed the officer that came to rescue us.
Lower your weapons!
We own this hostel. Please, do what they say.
- Yes, please. - Drop the gun!
No problem. Put it down.
Everything's going to be fine.
Give me your fucking word you won't kill us!
You have our word.
[grunts]
[groans]
[Francesco] Let's go, girls!
- Go! - Run!
[engine starts]
[tires screech]
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
That Father Anselmo Garrido has always taken my ex-wife's side.
She introduced us in Culiacan.
Later, she insisted for him to be the one to marry us,
and I agreed to it.
I gave him a hand, and the bastard used me.
I was giving him money for a long time
for an orphanage he was running.
If you've known him so long,
tell me what his weakness is. What's he hiding?
We've all got skeletons in our closet,
but his must be buried deep.
I've dug and dug and can't find anything.
And it isn't for lack of money.
We'll have to find a way.
The idea is to get him to submit.
Listen, Alex, I've got too many balls in the air as it is
for you to add another.
Let's forget all these other plans and strategies.
You know what? I'm going to see Carmen today.
I want to meet face-to-face so I can close this chapter.
[door opens]
We're in a meeting. How dare you...
Excuse me, and I apologize, sir, but this is an emergency.
Marietta Lancaster just broke a scandal on her show. It's about you, sir.
Thanks to my team of reporters
who've been working on this investigation for months
and have interviewed hundreds of people
about the events in question,
all to answer the following question...
what is presidential candidate Epifanio Vargas hiding?
You can watch this exclusive investigation
that'll reveal what, up to now, were unknown details
about the candidate's past
on next week's episode of Face to Face
with Marietta Lancaster.
Remember, our only commitment is to the truth.
Thank you very much, and see you next time.
That fucking bitch.
How could you let this happen, Alejandro?
Calm down. We still don't know what information she has.
Yeah, but I'm already screwed.
I'm going on your sister's show.
All people are going to care about
is the load of nonsense that fucking dyke just said.
Veva won't even bring that subject up.
No, she won't, but she'll bring up the other one.
She's fixated on the idea
of announcing our relationship on air.
You know what? I'll have to talk to Carmen.
What the hell? Don't you have someplace to be?
Sir, you can have the utmost faith in me.
I won't say a word.
It's fine. Daniel is very discreet.
[Marietta] Veva.
How is your show going?
Spare me your pleasantries, please.
Haven't you already said enough?
Care to explain why the hell you're airing a special
- that takes on Epifanio Vargas? - Whoa, whoa.
The investigation of Epifanio Vargas
is not some spur of the moment thing.
My team and I have been working on it for months.
And you had to announce it today,
when he's appearing on my program.
Isn't that better for you?
The whole country will be watching your show.
You know what?
Instead of getting mad at me,
you should thank me, your ratings will go through the roof.
- A pleasure. Excuse me. - Marietta.
- I'm not your student anymore. - [Marietta sighs]
- Don't underestimate me. - For God's sake...
it's quite the opposite.
I'm not underestimating you, but I just don't understand
what your deal with Epifanio Vargas is.
What is all this about, Veva?
A brilliant woman like you blind to reality? Oh, please.
And what is that reality, according to you?
Genoveva, he's a drug lord.
Give me a break.
He was acquitted of everything Teresa Mendoza said.
She's the one who teamed with the DEA to discredit
one of this country's few honest politicians.
Do you really believe all these lies?
Or did you suddenly decide to take a shit
all over your journalistic ethics when you became that man's lover?
You know I never say anything that hasn't been confirmed.
Those are nothing but lies.
What part, exactly, are lies?
Epifanio's past or you two being lovers?
You're only listening to his enemies, Marietta.
Genoveva, I've got sources everywhere.
You come from a well-known family.
Your father is the governor of Sinaloa.
For God's sake, everybody knows!
They're even talking about it at Los Pinos.
You know what's the only thing that surprises me, Genoveva?
That it still hasn't been used against you.
- Very well, Marietta. - Mmm.
We were going to announce our engagement on tonight's show.
That's why I was having him on.
After that, I'm going to step away during elections
because of what you taught me,
which is that I can't be interviewing him while we're together.
The idea is for the country to know about our relationship
and for me to clearly lay out my principles.
Listen. Listen carefully, Marietta.
I am not for sale.
Don't do it. That man...
keeps his guns at hand.
If you stand in the line of fire,
you might get shot.
I know who he is.
I know the real him, Marietta.
[sighs]
Genoveva, you'll regret it.
And it hurts me because I care about you,
but this is as far as I can go.
We're all free
to choose how we dig our own grave.
He said he was going to burn down this place with me in it!
He's a monster, just a terrible person!
How could you not realize that man wasn't my husband?
[dial tone]
Come on, it's absurd!
Those two helped those criminals...
Listen up, they got away in a blue convertible
with an Italian and with Teresa Mendoza.
Yeah, Level 5.
And activate escape protocol.
Notify the Civil Guard, local police and camera control.
I want checkpoints all over the city,
including at all highway exits and at the airport.
Our main objective is the Queen of the South.
She can't get away again.
[beeps]
- Thanks for what you did for us. - You saved our lives.
[Francesco, in Italian] A totally unforgettable experience.
[in Spanish] Is something wrong?
No, you just look familiar.
That's not the first time I've heard that.
I guess I've just got one of those faces.
Well, I haven't seen too many hunks like you around.
[Paloma] Rocío!
All right. There's Oleg.
Get in the van. I'll be right there.
Okay.
[Teresa] We'll talk later.
You haven't told me where you're going.
For safety reasons, I can't. But you have my phone number.
There are...
things we need to discuss.
What do you mean?
Teresa, Tesa, Maria Dantes. What's your real name?
Well,
I promise I'll tell you next time we see each other.
So is that a "yes" for dinner tonight?
I don't know, but I'll call you later, okay?
Thanks again for everything.
[car engine starts]
[dial tone]
Yes, make sure they take the car.
They're looking for it all over Malaga.
Change the color and plates.
[Sofía] Very good, Tozzi. Eat it all up.
[door opens]
[in Spanish] You little brat!
- Where did you find that cat? - It came in through the window.
Is that right?
Well, I know its owners, so give it to me
- so I can give it back. - No!
Sofia, give me the fucking cat.
- Let him go! - [meows]
[meows]
[Morgana laughs]
Your mother did a terrible job raising you.
Don't talk about my mum.
It's pronounced "mom," idiot.
You're the idiot!
[grunts]
- [laughs] - [siren wailing at distance]
I should've expected it
from the spoiled daughter of a murderous drug trafficker.
My mother is not a murderer!
Your mother is a murderer.
She's Mexican, and her name is Teresa Mendoza.
She killed your father when she was pregnant with you.
Liar!
You're only saying that to make me cry.
I talked to Lupo and he said it wasn't true.
[in Italian] You witch!
[in Spanish] Your mother is a killer and a drug trafficker!
You get it?
She fled and changed her name when she was pregnant with you
and she killed your father.
My father died in an accident.
[laughs]
You don't even know your real last names.
You are the daughter of Teo Aljarafe.
What did you expect?
For your mother to tell you that she killed your father?
No, your real last names are Aljarafe and Mendoza.
Shut up, witch!
You don't believe me, do you?
You're a liar! I am a Dantes!
[Sofia grunts]
Do not disrespect me again!
Hmm?
The only reason I haven't killed you
is because my boss threatened to kill me if I did. Otherwise...
Oh, choking you to death would've felt so good.
[coughing]
[car alarm in a distance]
My father just got here,
and he's not happy about what you did to me
or what you said about my mom.
Do you know what he looks like, witch?
Did you ever meet him?
Oh!
[laughs]
Teo Aljarafe! Come in!
Tell us, what's hell like?
Where was it that Teresa shot you?
In the head or the heart?
You're mocking him?
Look, he's behind you. His hands are on your head.
Listen, you stupid brat.
I'm not scared of you.
I don't believe in your hallucinations.
Never again.
Get out of my sight!
[door closes and lock clicks]
[sobbing]
My mother is not a murderer.
I didn't mean to kill Juanito,
but I was overwhelmed by what I saw.
He was raping my sister and wouldn't let her go.
[Teresa] Hold this.
So I hit him over the head. Tell them, Paloma.
Rocío, I'd rather not talk about it.
I'm ashamed.
[Teresa] Look, Paloma...
unfortunately, you're neither the first nor the last victim of that.
Don't be ashamed.
I had a similar experience many years ago
with a monster they called Gato Fierros.
Oleg helped me get justice,
and now he's in hell, paying for all he did.
Shit! That's intense.
The truth is, Juanito tried to hit us and...
Well, we already told you.
He lost his balance and fell off the building.
Now everybody's after us for his murder.
Something similar happened to you with my dad, right?
Well, you're safe here now.
The person whose name is on the deed of this house
is someone I trust completely.
Nobody knows we're hiding here, and nobody should find out.
Nobody comes in or leaves without my permission.
Is that clear?
[door opens]
[Anton] Hi.
[door closes]
[groans]
- [Anton, in Russian] How do you feel? - Fine.
[in Spanish] I brought what you asked for.
Here's some clothes for the three of you.
I have to go call my family and give Anton some instructions.
- Thanks, Oleg. - [Paloma] Thank you very much.
[Rocío] Thank you.
[Oleg] Anton.
[Teresa] Paloma.
I'm not stupid. I know you don't like me being here.
I talked a little about it with your sister,
and I understand.
But all I want is to get along.
Teresa, I heard everything you and the cop said.
But you have to understand that he was my father.
Good or bad, he was my father.
[scoffs]
Not only do I understand,
I respect it.
Make sure to treat those wounds. They can't get infected, okay?
Let's see what Anton brought us.
Go upstairs, bathe,
and most importantly, get some rest. oka?
Okay?
One thing, Teresa.
I just wanted to tell you that your boyfriend's very handsome.
The Italian.
No, he's not my boyfriend.
He isn't?
Since he came with you and helped us, I thought he was.
- You make a nice couple. - He's really hot, huh?
His face looks familiar to me.
You like him, don't you?
Well, I'm not blind. He's not without his charm.
[all laughing]
Let's go.
So... What happens now?
We can't go back to our grandmother's.
I don't want to be arrested.
And we can't stay here forever.
[Rocío] They're after the three of us, plus Francesco.
I'll think of something,
but get used to the idea of you never going back to your old lives.
[Rocío] What?
[Teresa] From now on, you live on the run.
Just like I have for years.
You can't live in Spain anymore.
- Okay. - [Teresa] Get some rest.
[machine whirring]
[crickets chirping]
[whispering]
[shower running]
[beeping]
[cell phone ringing]
[ringing]
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing continues]
[beeping]
- Hello? - [Francesco] Hi.
I'm not trying to nag you.
Uh...
I just want to know if I should call off what I had planned for tonight with you?
If you don't want to...
[in Italian] it's okay, I'd understand.
[in Spanish] It's fine, Francesco. But it can't be in a public place.
Just tell me where to go and I'll see you soon.
See you at 9:00. I'll send you the address.
Great. See you then.
[in Italian] See you soon.
[line disconnects]
[sighs]
IN THE NEXT EPISODE...
[breathing heavily]
[in Spanish] You think I have something to do with your daughter's kidnapping?
Do you know Cayetana Aljarafe?
[soldier] Get cover!
[Rocío] Paloma.
[Paloma] I didn't want to say anything without being sure.
I'm pregnant with Juanito's baby.
[crying] My son!
