A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...
[Epifanio] Teresa Mendoza ought to be on her way to Europe
in search of her buddies.
Zurdo Villa and that candidate Bravo will be history.
Don't be sad, Mom. I'm fine.
I'll be waiting for you
to cut off the heads of all my kidnappers.
We still don't know the Mexican's whereabouts.
I wasn't going to ask,
but rather inform you as to where she is.
What are you doing here, boss?
[Willy] I didn't want to humiliate you in front of everyone.
You're out of the DEA, Manuela.
[Jesus] When I was younger, there was a famous Mexican here in Malaga.
She was dubbed La Reina del Sur.
What's your name?
Jesus. Pleasure to meet you.
[Teresa] Jesus, take me to Jadranka.
[Pablo] I've got news on your precious Mexican.
Nothing's going to stop me from catching her.
[Teresa] Where's Oleg?
Oleg went out.
But there's somebody who wants to see you.
[Siso] Teresa Mendoza.
Welcome to Spain.
WASHINGTON D.C., USA
I'm tired, sweetheart.
My body has run its course.
What will happen to Sergio if you go?
You wouldn't leave him.
[Manuela's mother] I'm not who I used to be, Manuela, and you know it.
How's that young man?
The agent.
The handsome one from the pictures.
I can't remember his name. What is it?
Jonathan.
He's just a stepping stone to get to Teresa Mendoza.
I promised my sister that I'd sacrifice everything
to find her killer and look what happened...
I found her.
Do you know how I felt, mom?
When I finally saw Teresa.
It was like when you're running a marathon
and you see the finish line.
You're only a few feet away,
but you feel like you can't go on because of the pain.
But then you see it.
It's there, the finish line.
And you give it your all
because you know your sacrifice will be worth it
once you cross that finish line.
And because you know all the pain will end forever.
But it didn't end, Manuela.
That woman is free.
Not for long.
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

MARBELLA, SPAIN
You don't know how many times I've thought about what I'd do
when this moment finally arrived.
Sometimes I torture you until you ask me to kill you.
I never give you the satisfaction, though.
Other times...
usually, I'd hang you from my plane
and make you suffer what my cousin Xavi suffered.
But in the end, I always choose to humiliate you
just like you humiliated my father
when you forced us to accept your fucking deal.
Your father signed that deal.
You forced him.
You teamed up with Oleg Yasikov
and took what had been ours for years.
We lost half of the European drug market.
The market belongs to whoever earns it.
No, darling.
There are rules, at least here in Spain.
Mr. Pernas is a very smart man.
He avoided a war.
Because of that pact
my relationship with my father was never the same.
He never admitted it, but he died in shame
because he'd been beaten by a woman.
Is that why you killed Pedro?
If Pedrito had known about your long list of male victims,
he would've left you before joining the list.
Don't worry, Siso.
I still have space left on my list for you
and these two bastards.
You're amazing.
The storm is upon you and you won't take cover.
You're very brave, Teresa.
Very brave.
[Benxamín] Siso, do you like her or something?
I agree with your cousin. You like me.
[speaking Galician] Take her to the slaughterhouse, come on!
Let's go, damn it.
Mexican!
[gunshots]
Teresa, let's make one of those deals you love so much.
Benxa.
Come out now and I'll take you in one piece.
Hurt my men and I'll tear you to pieces.
[speaking Galician] Come on... fire!
[Teresa grunting]
Damn it!
Sons of bitches!
Telmo!
- [grunting] - Telmo!
Siso, the Mexican is escaping!
Mexican!
[gunshots]
Someone's trying to kill me. Let's go!
[speaking Galician] Fucking bitch!
[Siso] Get in the car, hurry!
What the fuck is going on?
You wanted to meet the Queen of the South? Here I am.
Nice to meet you. I'm Teresa Mendoza.
WASHINGTON D.C., USA
Well, I'm off to make Sergio's breakfast.
For some strange reason,
he's 17, but he can't make his own food.
Manuela.
Come here, sweetie.
Promise me you'll take good care of him.
He's your nephew. He can't be left alone.
I'll always take care of him.
Sweetheart.
[Teresa] I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't come for me.
And you're not even a crook.
Do you know how much money I have?
Look, I just ran a search on this all-knowing phone
- and I found your picture. - What?
I already knew you were the infamous Queen of the South
that my cousin Manolo always talked about.
Now, I won't lie. My heart jumped when I saw all that money.
I thought, "Jesus, opportunity makes the thief."
So I left, but if there's anything I despise, it's the fucking police.
That's why I came back to pick you up.
I don't understand.
What do the police have to do with this?
Some guy named Willy called and said the police know
you're in Malaga and they're after you.
You talked to Willy?
I didn't say anything. He did the talking.
[screams]
Step on it, man!
[people screaming]
[Siso] Keep going!
[horn blaring]
- Reverse, damn it! - [man] Get out of the way!
Move the fucking car!
[speaking indistinctly]
You saved my life.
Thank you.
If I hadn't, I'd be dead too.
It was them or us.
I liked the ride, though,
even if it did ruin my taxi.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Look.
Here's some extra money so you can fix the window.
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Where should I take you now?
To this address.
This trip has been worth it.
Let's go.
[phone ringing]
[car engine starting]
Damn it!
What?
It's a Civil Guard roadblock.
They shouldn't be in this area, especially not at this time.
They're here because of me. They're looking for me.
If they see the broken window, they'll stop us.
- Turn here. - It's not allowed.
[Teresa] Here.
Please do it.
We did it.
Neither the Civil Guard nor the Galicians found us.
That's what I call being lucky.
How long till we're at the address I gave you?
- Ten minutes. - Can you make it five?
- Sure. - Let's go, Jesus.
That body count of yours keeps going up, Teresa.
You should have your own funeral home.
Son of a bitch!
- Move it, bitch! - Let go.
- Son of a bitch! - Quiet.
- [speaking Galician] What the fuck? - Shut up!
[tires screeching]
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
I don't feel so good.
What's wrong?
Morgana.
[Morgana] What's wrong with the princess now?
She's got a fever.
That's because she won't eat.
I'm going to the market to get some herbs for a tea.
I'll be right back.
Where is the thermometer?
Morgana, where is the thermometer?
In that drawer.
Thanks.
I've just sent you the video from the taxi's camera, sir.
Yes, I have it.
Find out if the driver had any priors
and have someone notify the family.
You're fucked, Mexican.
[Siso] Stand up straight.
[Teresa] Let go!
- Where are you taking me? - Stop moving.
Your question is offensive.
Siso, let's end this quickly and let's go.
What's the rush? Savor the moment.
Your time has come, Teresa.
Let go of me, you bastards!
Nine years ago right here in Marbella,
you sent the Russians to kill my cousin Xavi and me.
You put a bomb in my car. Remember?
You almost blew me to pieces!
Well, we're about to settle this once and for all.
You might be a monster, Teresa, but I'm the Devil incarnate.
[speaking Galician] Benxamín, start the engine.
Come on, move!
You're about to witness a magic trick.
Now you see it...
Now you don't.
You're insane.
You won't be needing this anymore, Teresa.
Soon you'll be chorizo for export.
[laughs]
Here, Telmo, buy yourself some pants.
[laughs]
[speaking Italian] I'm very thirsty.
I'll bring you something to drink.
41...
Herbs won't help.
I'll bring a doctor.
I'll be back soon.
[speaking Italian] 41...
I'll bring a doctor.
[speaking indistinctly]
The door.
What? Are you scared?
Why don't you just kill me? Shoot me.
No, I dreamed of this moment for many years.
You son of a bitch.
[speaking Galician] Time for the legs!
- We need to crush her now! - Get off me!
Leave me alone, man!
We need to crush her now.
We need to crush her now! We need to crush her now!
That number that you just learned by heart,
you're going to use it if you're ever separated from me.
Got it?
Okay, again.
[groans]
Stop whining! Come on.
5, 8,
3, 7, 1, 2, 9.
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrating]
Come on. Let's go.
This is what you'll end up looking like, Teresa.
We're bringing Mrs. Aljarafe meatballs with Mexican spices.
[laughter]
Hurry up and answer the phone!
[chanting] She has a painted lizard...
When the Mexican dances, she goes to hell.
[laughs]
[speaking indistinctly]
[keys jangling]
Sofia.
My head is spinning.
I feel awful. I'm doing worse.
Stay calm.
I'll call a doctor.
Hey, the cops are here.
- What? - Cops! They're here!
[speaking indistinctly]
Who the fuck called them?
What do I know? Let's go!
- Siso, I'll look for a way out. - Let's go.
- Let's go! - Not before I crush this bitch.
Let's just end it now!
No!
I'm the one who gets to kill her!
- Understood? - Fine, but let's go.
Let's go.
[gunshots]
[speaking Galician] You gonna get grinded in hell, motherfucker!
[screams]
[Benxamín] They're outside! They're going to get us!
Let's go, Siso. Damn it!
[phone ringing, beeps]
Shit!
[gunshots]
What took you so long?
You think it's easy to find this crap in the middle of the night?
Good thing I'm a conchera and a witchdoctor's daughter.
Otherwise...
Here's everything.
I brought chamomile, mullein, ginger, marjoram...
Morgana, stop it.
Sofia has a fever. She's burning up.
[speaking Italian] She needs a doctor.
[Morgana] She'll be fine by the time you walk out that door.
Fucking...
MALAGA, SPAIN
Grandma, why are you always on your computer?
You can't even hear anything. What's wrong?
Life.
That's what's wrong.
You haven't had a single bite
and you've been looking thin lately.
It's remorse... it must be eating her up inside.
Ma'am, I know you don't take calls during dinner,
but they insist on talking to you.
- Who is it? - Someone named Siso.
He says it's a matter of life and death.
Mr. Pernas, I hope you have good news for me.
[Siso] Teresa Mendoza is dead.
Say it again, please.
I need to hear it again.
The eagle has left the nest for good, ma'am.
Teresa Mendoza is dead.
Tell me more. I want details.
You've no idea how many years I've waited for this moment.
She was crushed to pieces, ma'am, just like I promised.
We made mincemeat of her.
The cops arrived at the last minute,
but I promise there's no way for them to identify
what's left of the bitch.
Good work, Mr. Pernas.
You should know that you will always be welcome in my home.
You can rest easy now.
Charo, go to the wine cellar and bring me our best reserve.
And bring three glasses. The girls will join me.
We're going to celebrate.
Your father's murderer has finally paid with her life.
Once the bitch is dead, the rage is over.
[chuckles]
Come on, Charo.
Mmm.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
[phone vibrating]
Damn it.
Who the fuck is calling at this hour?
Hello?
[Cayetana] Mr. Vargas, wake up. It's time to celebrate.
Mrs. Aljarafe?
What the hell do you want?
Mr. Vargas, there's no need to be so hostile.
You'll be very happy once I tell you why I'm calling.
What do you mean?
This is a courtesy call,
even if you don't deserve it after how you treated me.
The Mexican has paid. She's dead.
She's on her way to hell.
Teresita Mendoza is dead?
- [call ends] - Hello!
Hello! Fuck!
[whimpering]
I just saved your life, Mexican.
Shh.
You saved me.
Thank you.
I also wanted to see you after all this time.
[speaking foreign language] Eventually, I understood.
When you called to tell me
you wanted to discuss business after all this time,
I thought something must be wrong.
You've been following me?
Something like that.
I had some men keep me informed of your movements.
The police?
You've been out of the business for way too long.
Thank you, Colonel.
- General. - General!
General of the Moroccan Royal Gendarmerie in the north.
We should go now before the real police arrive.
My return has been a mess.
I was attacked in Mexico. They took my gun.
The Galicians killed Pedro because of me.
Seems like you've forgotten the way things work
in this business.
Need I remind you of your body count?
That's a tragedy that's marked me for life.
These nine years have been very different.
I haven't forgotten...
the sound of gunshots.
I just found peace with my daughter.
I was finally able to sleep through an entire night.
And now I have to return to the business for her
and my body count keeps rising.
If she's added to that list, I'll die too.
You didn't mention on the phone that you had a daughter.
I have a lot to tell you.
Don't worry. We have time.
I'm all ears, my dear friend. We should go.
What do you know about Oleg?
Not much.
I lost track of him.
Last I heard, he went back to Moscow.
Are you sure?
I have access to government intelligence.
The Russian president made him return.
So I'm going to have to go to Moscow to find him.
May I know what you're up to?
It's big, as big as my love for my daughter.
I need a favor.
Whatever you want.
Like I said, I'm willing to help you with whatever you need.
But first, it's best to take you someplace
where you can take a warm bath.
[car engine starting]
Get up.
You're going to drink this tea.
It'll lower your fever.
It stinks. Is it poison?
Are you trying to kill me?
If I wanted to kill you,
I'd have done it when you first arrived.
Drink it.
Drink it!
[gasps]
[groans]
I burned myself.
You're an idiot! Move!
What did I ever do to deserve this, damn it?
Damn kid!
Move it! Now!
I'm bringing you another one.
Drop it and I'll make you lick the tea off the floor.
I'm sick of you.
Are you sure you want to enter the lion's den?
You shouldn't tempt fate.
You never know when it could turn its back on you.
No, I can't leave any loose ends.
I can't.
[phone ringing]
What's going on?
Only my daughter knows this number.
She's the only person in the world who knows it.
Answer the phone.
Sofia, is that you?
Yes, Mom. It's me.
Mom...
Mom.
[Sofia sobbing]
Sofia, don't cry. Don't cry, okay?
Breathe.
Take a deep breath and don't cry.
Remember what I taught you.
Take deep breaths.
That's good. Now, tell me everything.
Where are you?
They brought me to Mexico. That's what they said.
Did they hurt you?
No, but there's someone who says awful things about you
and the man who kidnapped me is that man...
Sofia, what man...
Sofia! Sofia!
Sofia!
What's wrong?
I don't know. Someone took her phone.
Something happened to her!
Call again.
We got disconnected.
[dialing]
What a good actress!
- So you had a fever? - Mom!
How'd my phone make it here?
Tell the doctor we don't need him.
He can leave.
You're about to find out why they call me Lupo.
[voicemail] You have one message.
[Epifanio] They killed Teresita Mendoza! Where the hell are you?
That can't be.
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrating]
Hello.
Where the fuck were you?
I was sleeping. I do that sometimes at night.
Sleeping! Don't lie to me.
I called your maid and she didn't know where you were.
If you decide to spend the night with a whore,
you need to tell me where I can find you.
You can't just disappear.
Who told you Teresa was killed?
That Mrs. Aljarafe.
She was ecstatic.
I think she hired thugs and had them kill Teresita.
Our friend in Spain can't find her either.
You know what? It's time to go with Plan B.
Let's put a bullet in the other candidate's head.
End of story.
Shh!
You don't say that on a phone call.
Wait, wait, wait. Someone's calling me.
It's Teresa Mendoza's number.
Merge the calls. Let me listen.
If they say anything that might compromise you,
stay quiet and let me do the talking.
Okay. Here goes.
Who is this?
Who else? It's Teresa.
Teresita Mendoza.
Remember what I told you would happen
if you touched a single hair on my daughter's head?
If she stole a phone and called me,
that's your problem.
I trained my daughter as if she'd been raised in Culiacan. Understood?
If I find out you punished her for calling me,
those fools who work for you and who are watching her
will pay with their lives.
[Epifanio] Listen closely, Teresita.
I promised I'd take good care of her
and that's what I'm doing.
Your word means nothing to me. Don't you understand?
I want her to tell me that she's okay.
Tomorrow you'll get a message from your...
Tomorrow my ass!
I want that message today!
It's five o'clock in the morning here.
Let me set it up with my men.
We'll have them call you.
- How about it? - Just a second, Epifanio.
I can't let that happen. We won't be manipulated.
Excuse me? Who the fuck is this?
Listen up, Mrs. Mendoza.
Things are about to change.
From now on, your requests will come with something in return.
Look, asshole.
For starters, I don't have anything to say to you.
I don't even know who you are. We don't have a deal.
Epifanio, you tell that idiot who's with you
not to mess with me and not to push it.
Mrs. Mendoza, you do know that you're in no position
to threaten anyone or make any demands, right?
Because if you don't, I'll gladly enlighten you.
Your daughter is being well looked after.
However, we have no guarantee that you'll cooperate.
We know you're in Spain.
When you return to Mexico and our plan is back on track,
you'll be able to talk to your daughter.
Have a nice day, Mrs. Mendoza.
Epifanio. Epifanio!
[call ends]
Fuck!
Those... those sons of bitches.
You need to control yourself.
Listen to me.
Let me give you some advice as a military man, okay?
Those people can't hurt your daughter
because they need you.
You can't fight two battles at once.
First things first.
You asked me to bring you here.
We're here.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to concentrate on this fight
or will you keep thinking about things
that you can't fix right now?
Fine.
They can't hurt my daughter, you're right.
Good.
I'll wait here.
If you have any problems, you know what to do.
I need to handle this first, so that's what I'm going to do.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE...
When you misbehave, you'll go in there.
- Lupo, no. - Go on!
You're supposed to burn the deceased's clothing.
And your sister just died.
[Teresa] I'm back from hell and now,
you and me are going to settle some unfinished business.
Face to face.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
