Queen of the South (2016) s03e12 Episode Script
Justicia
1 TERESA: Previously on Queen of the South What is this? KELLY ANNE: These are the ownership documents filed in the Cayman Islands for Camila's trawler company.
I never signed these papers.
Camila's trying to set you up to take the fall for her business.
We may have lost our supply.
Someone gave up El Santo.
TERESA: We have a rat.
They put a tracker in Guero's necklace.
IVAN: Basically what they did is cast a copy of the medal, inserting a tiny TTL device.
- TERESA: Can we use this? - IVAN: To track someone? Absolutely.
JAMES: Found the mole.
- I can't believe this.
But you had no problem suspecting me.
Now, how much dinero is it gonna cost me for me and my amigo (SHOUTS) (BOTH GRUNTING) TERESA: Have we heard from George? JAMES: He's been off grid.
I just can't get ahold of him.
TERESA: We need to find him.
There's Oleg.
Congratulations, Teresa.
I see bright things in your future.
I'll be in Phoenix shortly.
JAMES: Call me when you get here.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (JET ENGINES ROARING) TERESA: Thank you for meeting with me.
To be honest, I wasn't thrilled to get your call, Teresa.
Last time I saw you, you burned your relationship with Rocco in Malta and in turn threw a lit match on mine.
TERESA: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
I'm hoping you care more about the opportunity I have for you.
Continue.
I've taken control of the Phoenix corridor in Arizona.
TERESA: I have a distribution system on the dark web.
Rocco has Malta.
But there's an entire world without him.
I think we can help each other.
There's only one problem.
My supplier's gone off the grid.
I won't share my connections with you, Teresa.
Not after Malta.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) OLEG: Good luck.
TERESA: The meeting with Oleg didn't go well.
JAMES: There may be another option.
I'm meeting Camila now.
(KNOCKING) James.
Nice to see you again.
I miss having you by my side.
CAMILA: Does Teresa know? She sent me to hear you out.
Mm.
POTE: Whenever you're down, you always come back stronger.
POTE: This isn't the time to give up, Teresita.
TERESA: El Santo is either dead or missing.
There's no business without product.
POTE: You know where we could get some.
No.
James said that Camila can help us.
Camila is dangerous.
Yes, she is.
But you're safer with her under your nose.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) POTE: Just listen to what she has to offer.
But like you said You might as well go home and quit.
And I know that's not what you want in your heart.
POTE: Because you are a survivor, Teresita.
You never stop fighting.
Don't stop now.
CAMILA: I'm here for a truce.
Did you tell Teresa I could provide a supplier? Yes, but the chances of a sit down are slim to none.
CAMILA: Teresa's business has stalled.
She needs my connection.
CAMILA: You know I can help her.
Yeah, but she's not gonna want your help.
CAMILA: I know.
But she needs it.
And I certainly need hers.
It's the only way to save my daughter.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) It's her.
TERESA: What's her offer? JAMES: She's asking for a sit-down.
What do you want me to do? I'll meet with her.
Take her to the safe house close to the border.
JAMES: All right.
You know I can't guarantee your protection.
CAMILA: I've run out of options.
So if I'm gonna meet my executioner So be it.
POTE: So if Camila comes through with the supply, what then? You gonna kill her? (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) CAMILA: I know El Santo is out.
I know you need a suplier.
I can set up an introduction with the Colombians.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) What do you want in return? I want you to kill Cortez.
CAMILA: I came to you because I know you despise him as much as I do.
Cortez convinced my daughter that I ordered the execution of her fiancé.
I did not.
And now he has her, and I have to save her.
CAMILA: My governorship is over.
I can set up a meeting with Reynaldo.
CAMILA: And you can get your business back on track.
Do you want the introduction or not? You understand what will happen to you if this is a trap? You'll kill me.
And bury me in a hole somewhere.
And never think of me again.
CAMILA: I was running for my life.
And I'm standing in front of the person that wants me dead more than anyone.
The only thing that matters to me now Is my daughter.
TERESA: Take her.
CASTEL: I always thought Camila's home was a little bit over the top with all the hard stone.
Governor's Mansion seems to suit you, General.
CASTEL: Reynaldo is ready to resume business with you - (CLEARS THROAT) - Running Mexico.
- Welcome news.
- CASTEL: Hmm.
Truth is, he's in no condition to put up much of a fight.
He had a health scare, so he's traveling to the U.
S.
to see a heart specialist as we speak.
Perhaps it is your time to take the reins.
It's inevitable.
And I'm a patient woman.
Now excuse me, General, but I have a plane to catch.
(CLEARS THROAT) CASTEL: It's always good to see you.
It's always my pleasure.
Have a safe trip, huh? Mm.
Take care.
CORTEZ: (CLEARS THROAT) CORTEZ: (BREATHING HEAVILY) (CLEARS THROAT) (CLEARS THROAT) (BREATHING HEAVILY) SOLDIER: General? SOLDIER: General, que pasa? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Is this still your brand? CAMILA: Yeah.
Gracias, Pote.
I learned the rules of the cartel from Epifanio.
POTE: I know you were owed for his life.
You killed the man that Teresa loved.
You collected your payment.
And you still kept coming.
POTE: Now you're the one who owes.
I see that you and James have been doing a lot of the killing for Teresa.
The entire Comisión.
Impressive.
It's interesting, though.
She never approved of violence when she was working for me.
POTE: She's la jefa now.
And she will do what she has to protect her people and her business.
Mm.
Must be eating away at her.
To become what she hated the most.
And what's that? Me.
POTE: She's nothing like you.
You don't even deserve to speak her name.
I know more about running a cartel than she ever will.
And you know that.
Or I will shut it for you for good.
You're welcome to try.
Now get comfortable in your new mansion.
JAMES: Hey.
JAMES: I understand not wanting to do the deal with Camila.
But the offer is good.
Reynaldo Fieto is loyal to the Vargas family, so if she vouches for you, you have a supplier again.
You ask me, Camila owes you this.
You've built this business up through sheer determination.
This move is a building block for your future.
Let's make the deal with Reynaldo, then move on to Cortez.
The rest we'll figure out afterwards.
I'm not gonna be there for the rest.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) JAMES: I can't work for someone who keeps questioning my loyalty.
Not after all we've been through.
I'm gonna help you take out Cortez, make sure you're secure, but then I'm out.
TERESA: James.
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSES) Someone in this room was brave enough to attack me.
But who is brave enough to confess? CORTEZ: Who put poison in my wine? Who would do this to me? CORTEZ: Hmm? Not only am I physically wounded, but my heart breaks from this betrayal.
- (GUNSHOT) - (ALL GASPING) When the body is wounded, the wound festers.
What's rotten must be hacked away! Emperor Claudius was poisoned by his wife, Agrippina.
A single dose in his evening meal.
Is my little chef a student of history? Oh, no.
(CRYING) (GROANING) (COUGHING) (CRYING) I want my security doubled.
Move out to our new headquarters immediately.
(SIRENS BLARING) (ELEVATOR DINGS) LOUDSPEAKER: Satellite pharmacy, 713.
Satellite pharmacy, 713.
CAMILA: Reynaldo.
REYNALDO: Camila.
- How are you, my friend? REYNALDO: The doctors tell me that if I take my pills, I'll live another 20 years.
My very ambitious niece would love me to retire tomorrow.
CAMILA: Does Castel know you're meeting with us? REYNALDO: No.
I wanted to hear the terms of the deal before I pass anything along to her.
May I introduce Teresa Mendoza.
Nice to meet you.
I was very surprised when Camila asked me to see you.
REYNALDO: I'm not in the habit of doing business with the enemies of my friends.
You killed Epifanio.
And now you expect me to work with you.
Even Camila knows I had no choice but to defend myself.
TERESA: Cortez is your enemy.
You need a new partner in Mexico.
That's true.
The past is buried, Reynaldo.
Camila.
CAMILA: I promise you.
I underestimated Teresa in more than one occasion.
CAMILA: She will take out Cortez.
And this will be a good partnership for you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) When I heard that malparido Cortez had turned against her, I wanted to cut off his cojones.
I will work with you, but only if you defeat the General.
And there is one more condition.
He'll give us product.
What are the terms? Camila can't be harmed.
What did you tell him? I agreed.
You okay with that? I know Teresa told you she'll keep me safe.
But what happened between us was very personal.
I don't think she'll keep her promise to you.
CAMILA: You know me, Reynaldo.
I won't go down without a very bloody fight.
The last time I spoke with King George, he was in Mexico.
Did you kill him? No, he's still alive.
He's being held under a different name in a mental institution.
Only Cortez and I know the location.
Give the location to Pote.
TERESA: We need George's weapons to take down Cortez.
We'll get him out.
I delivered my part of the arrangement.
I want to go now.
TERESA: I agreed I wouldn't harm you.
I didn't say I'd give you your freedom.
TERESA: Hey.
Hey, there's been chatter on the wire about General Cortez.
JAMES: He's left the Governor's Mansion.
And there's been reports that a military caravan is heading north out of Culiacán.
He's holding up with dozens of his best soldiers and stockpiles of weapons.
He knows Camila's out there.
He's expecting an attack.
He'll be putting up massive defenses securing entry points around the perimeter, hardening his forces.
He's got every possible resource at his disposal.
If we make a move, he'll be ready.
It'll be close to impossible.
If we do this, we need more men and an arsenal.
Camila knows where George is being held.
TERESA: We need to rescue him.
Then get his weapons.
TERESA: He keeps caches of weapons all through Mexico like the ones he brought to Taza's reservation.
You're right.
We need more men and guns.
That's why we contacted Javier Jimenez, Boaz's cousin.
I know that guy.
He's a clown.
Yeah? He's the leader of the Death Squad out of Juarez.
POTE: He's crazy.
But he's one of the toughest cabrones I know.
(MOTORCYCLE ENGINE RUNNING) TERESA: Javier, welcome.
I'm Teresa.
You're more beautiful than people say.
Had to be something very special for this cabron to leave Camila.
Show some respect, cabron.
That was respect.
Ask James.
JAVIER: He knows I tell it like it is.
In between all the bullshit.
Is Boaz coming? No.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) He's not coming out of hiding until he knows this is no bullshit setup.
TERESA: We have Camila.
She's being held inside.
POTE: Hey.
You believe Camila didn't order Kique's death? I believe Cortez killed Kique to get to Camila.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) Does Boaz still have men? A few dozen.
We started a small operation in Nogales.
JAVIER: Just across the border.
We need your help to get our smuggler out of a Mexican hospital.
He'll provide us with guns to take Cortez down.
I'd love to feed Cortez his own tongue.
But Boaz is going to need something more than just revenge.
What does he want? To be in business with you.
We can discuss that.
TERESA: We can work together and take down Cortez.
James has information on Cortez.
Good.
Did he tell you he's leaving? No.
It doesn't surprise me.
I made a mistake.
I want him to stay.
Did you tell him that? TERESA: Hey.
So, Pote and I will meet Boaz and you will meet Javier and his men near the hospital.
Using that guy is a risk.
You can't go into Mexico without backup.
You're the boss.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) TERESA: You helped build this business.
You shouldn't walk away from it.
I want you to run Phoenix.
Is that just a business offer? I don't wanna lose you.
I just need a little time to think about it.
TERESA: Yes, of course.
Be careful in Mexico, okay? JAMES: Yeah, you too.
(TEJANO MUSIC PLAYS) (SINGING IN SPANISH) POTE: You sure we can trust Boaz? I'm not sure about anything.
TERESA: But he's already sent Javier to help us.
(PARROT SQUAWKING) Teresa Mendoza.
Thank you for meeting me.
It only makes sense.
It's not like I got people lining up to work with me.
Got a small heroin business and a bounty on my head.
So do you.
BOAZ: Javier told me about your meeting.
El hijo de puta Cortez has to pay for what he did to my Kique.
I'm sorry for your loss.
That boy was my heart.
If you get payback for me, I'm all yours.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) I have to take this.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
- Hey.
- JAMES: Hey.
Yeah, I'm with Javier.
We're en route to the hospital.
- How many men are with you? - JAMES: Half a dozen.
I'll let you know when we're ready to move on George.
TERESA: Keep me posted.
After we take out Cortez, you'll run Sinaloa.
I would like you to share any major decisions with James.
TERESA: We'll work together.
You can count on that, Teresa Mendoza.
To la jefa.
- Salud.
- POTE: Salud.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Shall we celebrate? To the one person in the world I can trust.
Isabela.
I love you as if you were my own flesh and blood.
My mother is dead to me.
You're my only family now.
(RADIO CHATTER IN SPANISH) (SPEAKING IN SPANISH) JAMES: Are your guys ready to go? JAVIER: They'll be guarding the perimeter.
All of this to rescue a smuggler? I've got 20 different smugglers you could choose from.
JAMES: Not like this one.
Let's go.
(BLOW LANDS) (DOOR CLANGS) Bilal, where's George? Bilal, where's George? JAMES: Hey! Something's wrong with him.
- (BUZZING) - (ANNOUNCEMENT IN SPANISH) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (MEN SHOUTING IN SPANISH) Those are Cortez's soldiers.
Cover me.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (GUNFIRE) (FIRE ALARM BLARING) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) - (GUNFIRE) - JAVIER: (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (GRUNTS) JAVIER: My gun's jammed.
JAMES: You're fine.
We're almost out.
- (BOTH GRUNTING) - (BLOWS LANDING) (GUNSHOT) Come on.
JAVIER: (BREATHING HEAVILY) - (GUNFIRE) - (GRUNTS) (RAPID GUNFIRE) BILAL: (GRUNTS) (TIRES SQUEAL) (GUNFIRE) You have him? JAMES: George wasn't there.
Bilal was shot.
He might not make it.
It was an ambush.
Camila set us up.
Did you see their faces? CORTEZ: Like rats in a flood.
I thought Camila might go for the smuggler to help her escape the country.
So I put a contingency in place.
But I'm not certain how Teresa Mendoza found the location.
Camila must have given it to her.
They are bitter enemies.
Their alliance is highly unlikely.
Unless Camila has something to offer that means more to Teresa than vengeance.
El Santo.
- CORTEZ: She lost her supply.
- Mm-hmm.
Would your uncle make a deal like this behind your back to give Teresa product to save Camila's life? He's always been very fond of her.
It's possible.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) Please excuse me.
I have another call.
CORTEZ: I'll keep you apprised of anything new.
Please do, General.
(BEEPING) CORTEZ: Bueno.
BOAZ: Hey, puto.
Boaz.
I sent you a link.
(BEEPING) (SCOFFS) We're coming for you, cabron.
(PHONE BEEPING) (COMPUTER SPEAKING SPANISH) JAMES: Those men who attacked us were soldiers military.
Those pendejos knew we were coming.
Are you sure George wasn't there? Yeah.
Camila gave you the location? Yeah.
Can we still get at Cortez? JAVIER: It's harder now.
Ese cabron knows we're coming.
JAMES: He's right.
The guy will be building up his security.
And we don't even know where he is.
Call Taza and tell him we need his men at the swing gate.
- We getting a shipment? - No, not yet.
I'm gonna see what I can figure out about Cortez's location.
Okay.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Se cabron saved my ass at the hospital.
You have a good soldier.
I know.
(KNOCKING) SOLDIER: (SPEAKING SPANISH) GEORGE: (GROANS) I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.
I had planned on putting your suffering to an end this evening.
But apparently there's been a breach at your former accommodations.
CORTEZ: Did any of my men get to you? I know not everyone can be trusted.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Someone made contact with you, huh? (GROANS) Ah.
(HEAVY BREATHING) CORTEZ: Tell me.
Come on.
You have been in solitary too long, huh? CORTEZ: This caused you to stop using your famously wicked tongue, huh? We'll see what else you're good for.
You lied about George's location.
George wasn't there? CAMILA: They must have moved him.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I didn't set you up, Teresa.
If there was a trap, it was meant for me.
Not you.
- Trust me.
- I don't.
CAMILA: Of course you don't.
You believe I betrayed you in Dallas.
I did not.
CAMILA: My attorney sent the paperwork to frame you.
When the time came, I couldn't bring myself to hurt you.
And that's the truth.
I did not turn on you.
I had grown quite fond of you.
I always believed you were special.
CAMILA: Different.
You just assumed the worst of me.
And you left me no choice but to send James after you to protect my business.
Just as you're protecting yours now.
But regardless, we need to trust each other.
Out of necessity.
Where did Cortez move George? CAMILA: I dunno.
We lost the element of surprise.
We need to get it back.
Give me your phone.
CORTEZ: Bueno.
TERESA: It's Teresa.
You have something I want, and I have something you want.
Let's make a deal.
CORTEZ: Hola, Teresa.
My apologies for not being there in person.
It seemed like a needless risk.
Shall we discuss your terms? We both get our supply from the Colombians.
You run Sinaloa, and we keep the peace.
I find those terms amenable.
CORTEZ: I look forward to a fruitful partnership.
Where's George? CORTEZ: My men will assist you.
Now, what about my prize? Reynaldo's condition is that Camila can't be harmed.
TERESA: If anything happens to her, we both lose our supply.
You have my word.
She will be safe in my custody.
(BILLIE EILISH'S "YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN") Bite my tongue, bide my time, wearing a warning sign - GEORGE: What's up with you? - You okay? Been better.
Visions I vandalize, cold in my kingdom size Fell for these ocean eyes POTE: This isn't over, Teresita.
TERESA: I know.
You should see me in a crown I'm gonna run this nothing town Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by He gonna do a lot worse to her than he done to me.
Watch them fall TERESA: She knew the risks.
Ooh, oh, I like the way they all Scream, tell me which one is worse I'm excited for your return, Camila.
CORTEZ: Your days as a fugitive are nearly done.
Wait till you see what I've got cooked up for you.
You should see me in a crown I'm gonna run this nothing town You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by one (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Captioned by Captionmax
I never signed these papers.
Camila's trying to set you up to take the fall for her business.
We may have lost our supply.
Someone gave up El Santo.
TERESA: We have a rat.
They put a tracker in Guero's necklace.
IVAN: Basically what they did is cast a copy of the medal, inserting a tiny TTL device.
- TERESA: Can we use this? - IVAN: To track someone? Absolutely.
JAMES: Found the mole.
- I can't believe this.
But you had no problem suspecting me.
Now, how much dinero is it gonna cost me for me and my amigo (SHOUTS) (BOTH GRUNTING) TERESA: Have we heard from George? JAMES: He's been off grid.

- How are you, my friend? REYNALDO: The doctors tell me that if I take my pills, I'll live another 20 years.
My very ambitious niece would love me to retire tomorrow.
CAMILA: Does Castel know you're meeting with us? REYNALDO: No.
I wanted to hear the terms of the deal before I pass anything along to her.
May I introduce Teresa Mendoza.
Nice to meet you.
I was very surprised when Camila asked me to see you.
REYNALDO: I'm not in the habit of doing business with the enemies of my friends.
You killed Epifanio.
And now you expect me to work with you.
Even Camila knows I had no choice but to defend myself.
TERESA: Cortez is your enemy.
You need a new partner in Mexico.
That's true.
The past is buried, Reynaldo.
Camila.
CAMILA: I promise you.
I underestimated Teresa in more than one occasion.
CAMILA: She will take out Cortez.
And this will be a good partnership for you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) When I heard that malparido Cortez had turned against her, I wanted to cut off his cojones.
I will work with you, but only if you defeat the General.
And there is one more condition.
He'll give us product.
What are the terms? Camila can't be harmed.
What did you tell him? I agreed.
You okay with that? I know Teresa told you she'll keep me safe.
But what happened between us was very personal.
I don't think she'll keep her promise to you.
CAMILA: You know me, Reynaldo.
I won't go down without a very bloody fight.
The last time I spoke with King George, he was in Mexico.
Did you kill him? No, he's still alive.
He's being held under a different name in a mental institution.
Only Cortez and I know the location.
Give the location to Pote.
TERESA: We need George's weapons to take down Cortez.
We'll get him out.
I delivered my part of the arrangement.
I want to go now.
TERESA: I agreed I wouldn't harm you.
I didn't say I'd give you your freedom.
TERESA: Hey.
Hey, there's been chatter on the wire about General Cortez.
JAMES: He's left the Governor's Mansion.
And there's been reports that a military caravan is heading north out of Culiacán.
He's holding up with dozens of his best soldiers and stockpiles of weapons.
He knows Camila's out there.
He's expecting an attack.
He'll be putting up massive defenses securing entry points around the perimeter, hardening his forces.
He's got every possible resource at his disposal.
If we make a move, he'll be ready.
It'll be close to impossible.
If we do this, we need more men and an arsenal.
Camila knows where George is being held.
TERESA: We need to rescue him.
Then get his weapons.
TERESA: He keeps caches of weapons all through Mexico like the ones he brought to Taza's reservation.
You're right.
We need more men and guns.
That's why we contacted Javier Jimenez, Boaz's cousin.
I know that guy.
He's a clown.
Yeah? He's the leader of the Death Squad out of Juarez.
POTE: He's crazy.
But he's one of the toughest cabrones I know.
(MOTORCYCLE ENGINE RUNNING) TERESA: Javier, welcome.
I'm Teresa.
You're more beautiful than people say.
Had to be something very special for this cabron to leave Camila.
Show some respect, cabron.
That was respect.
Ask James.
JAVIER: He knows I tell it like it is.
In between all the bullshit.
Is Boaz coming? No.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) He's not coming out of hiding until he knows this is no bullshit setup.
TERESA: We have Camila.
She's being held inside.
POTE: Hey.
You believe Camila didn't order Kique's death? I believe Cortez killed Kique to get to Camila.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) Does Boaz still have men? A few dozen.
We started a small operation in Nogales.
JAVIER: Just across the border.
We need your help to get our smuggler out of a Mexican hospital.
He'll provide us with guns to take Cortez down.
I'd love to feed Cortez his own tongue.
But Boaz is going to need something more than just revenge.
What does he want? To be in business with you.
We can discuss that.
TERESA: We can work together and take down Cortez.
James has information on Cortez.
Good.
Did he tell you he's leaving? No.
It doesn't surprise me.
I made a mistake.
I want him to stay.
Did you tell him that? TERESA: Hey.
So, Pote and I will meet Boaz and you will meet Javier and his men near the hospital.
Using that guy is a risk.
You can't go into Mexico without backup.
You're the boss.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) TERESA: You helped build this business.
You shouldn't walk away from it.
I want you to run Phoenix.
Is that just a business offer? I don't wanna lose you.
I just need a little time to think about it.
TERESA: Yes, of course.
Be careful in Mexico, okay? JAMES: Yeah, you too.
(TEJANO MUSIC PLAYS) (SINGING IN SPANISH) POTE: You sure we can trust Boaz? I'm not sure about anything.
TERESA: But he's already sent Javier to help us.
(PARROT SQUAWKING) Teresa Mendoza.
Thank you for meeting me.
It only makes sense.
It's not like I got people lining up to work with me.
Got a small heroin business and a bounty on my head.
So do you.
BOAZ: Javier told me about your meeting.
El hijo de puta Cortez has to pay for what he did to my Kique.
I'm sorry for your loss.
That boy was my heart.
If you get payback for me, I'm all yours.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) I have to take this.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
- Hey.
- JAMES: Hey.
Yeah, I'm with Javier.
We're en route to the hospital.
- How many men are with you? - JAMES: Half a dozen.
I'll let you know when we're ready to move on George.
TERESA: Keep me posted.
After we take out Cortez, you'll run Sinaloa.
I would like you to share any major decisions with James.
TERESA: We'll work together.
You can count on that, Teresa Mendoza.
To la jefa.
- Salud.
- POTE: Salud.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Shall we celebrate? To the one person in the world I can trust.
Isabela.
I love you as if you were my own flesh and blood.
My mother is dead to me.
You're my only family now.
(RADIO CHATTER IN SPANISH) (SPEAKING IN SPANISH) JAMES: Are your guys ready to go? JAVIER: They'll be guarding the perimeter.
All of this to rescue a smuggler? I've got 20 different smugglers you could choose from.
JAMES: Not like this one.
Let's go.
(BLOW LANDS) (DOOR CLANGS) Bilal, where's George? Bilal, where's George? JAMES: Hey! Something's wrong with him.
- (BUZZING) - (ANNOUNCEMENT IN SPANISH) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (MEN SHOUTING IN SPANISH) Those are Cortez's soldiers.
Cover me.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (GUNFIRE) (FIRE ALARM BLARING) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) - (GUNFIRE) - JAVIER: (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (GRUNTS) JAVIER: My gun's jammed.
JAMES: You're fine.
We're almost out.
- (BOTH GRUNTING) - (BLOWS LANDING) (GUNSHOT) Come on.
JAVIER: (BREATHING HEAVILY) - (GUNFIRE) - (GRUNTS) (RAPID GUNFIRE) BILAL: (GRUNTS) (TIRES SQUEAL) (GUNFIRE) You have him? JAMES: George wasn't there.
Bilal was shot.
He might not make it.
It was an ambush.
Camila set us up.
Did you see their faces? CORTEZ: Like rats in a flood.
I thought Camila might go for the smuggler to help her escape the country.
So I put a contingency in place.
But I'm not certain how Teresa Mendoza found the location.
Camila must have given it to her.
They are bitter enemies.
Their alliance is highly unlikely.
Unless Camila has something to offer that means more to Teresa than vengeance.
El Santo.
- CORTEZ: She lost her supply.
- Mm-hmm.
Would your uncle make a deal like this behind your back to give Teresa product to save Camila's life? He's always been very fond of her.
It's possible.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) Please excuse me.
I have another call.
CORTEZ: I'll keep you apprised of anything new.
Please do, General.
(BEEPING) CORTEZ: Bueno.
BOAZ: Hey, puto.
Boaz.
I sent you a link.
(BEEPING) (SCOFFS) We're coming for you, cabron.
(PHONE BEEPING) (COMPUTER SPEAKING SPANISH) JAMES: Those men who attacked us were soldiers military.
Those pendejos knew we were coming.
Are you sure George wasn't there? Yeah.
Camila gave you the location? Yeah.
Can we still get at Cortez? JAVIER: It's harder now.
Ese cabron knows we're coming.
JAMES: He's right.
The guy will be building up his security.
And we don't even know where he is.
Call Taza and tell him we need his men at the swing gate.
- We getting a shipment? - No, not yet.
I'm gonna see what I can figure out about Cortez's location.
Okay.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Se cabron saved my ass at the hospital.
You have a good soldier.
I know.
(KNOCKING) SOLDIER: (SPEAKING SPANISH) GEORGE: (GROANS) I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.
I had planned on putting your suffering to an end this evening.
But apparently there's been a breach at your former accommodations.
CORTEZ: Did any of my men get to you? I know not everyone can be trusted.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Someone made contact with you, huh? (GROANS) Ah.
(HEAVY BREATHING) CORTEZ: Tell me.
Come on.
You have been in solitary too long, huh? CORTEZ: This caused you to stop using your famously wicked tongue, huh? We'll see what else you're good for.
You lied about George's location.
George wasn't there? CAMILA: They must have moved him.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I didn't set you up, Teresa.
If there was a trap, it was meant for me.
Not you.
- Trust me.
- I don't.
CAMILA: Of course you don't.
You believe I betrayed you in Dallas.
I did not.
CAMILA: My attorney sent the paperwork to frame you.
When the time came, I couldn't bring myself to hurt you.
And that's the truth.
I did not turn on you.
I had grown quite fond of you.
I always believed you were special.
CAMILA: Different.
You just assumed the worst of me.
And you left me no choice but to send James after you to protect my business.
Just as you're protecting yours now.
But regardless, we need to trust each other.
Out of necessity.
Where did Cortez move George? CAMILA: I dunno.
We lost the element of surprise.
We need to get it back.
Give me your phone.
CORTEZ: Bueno.
TERESA: It's Teresa.
You have something I want, and I have something you want.
Let's make a deal.
CORTEZ: Hola, Teresa.
My apologies for not being there in person.
It seemed like a needless risk.
Shall we discuss your terms? We both get our supply from the Colombians.
You run Sinaloa, and we keep the peace.
I find those terms amenable.
CORTEZ: I look forward to a fruitful partnership.
Where's George? CORTEZ: My men will assist you.
Now, what about my prize? Reynaldo's condition is that Camila can't be harmed.
TERESA: If anything happens to her, we both lose our supply.
You have my word.
She will be safe in my custody.
(BILLIE EILISH'S "YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN") Bite my tongue, bide my time, wearing a warning sign - GEORGE: What's up with you? - You okay? Been better.
Visions I vandalize, cold in my kingdom size Fell for these ocean eyes POTE: This isn't over, Teresita.
TERESA: I know.
You should see me in a crown I'm gonna run this nothing town Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by He gonna do a lot worse to her than he done to me.
Watch them fall TERESA: She knew the risks.
Ooh, oh, I like the way they all Scream, tell me which one is worse I'm excited for your return, Camila.
CORTEZ: Your days as a fugitive are nearly done.
Wait till you see what I've got cooked up for you.
You should see me in a crown I'm gonna run this nothing town You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow one by one by one One by one by one (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Captioned by Captionmax
