You just made six million euros... and gained the right to live.
We did it, Mexicana!
I wouldn't like to be an enemy of La Mexicana,
when she starts collecting to all those who betrayed her and El Gallego.
La Mexicana with the Russians.
Can you imagine what could happen to us if La Mexicana's with them?
You're no better than me, Flores.
Just way dumber. And that's why you're probably cheaper.
What's up? Why the long face?
It seems like he's seen a ghost.
I swear to you, I won't rest until I ruin you.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
I can finally make your dream come true.
I want you to come and live with me in the mainland.
If it's true that she's working with the Russians...
What's the problem? Are you scared?
Scared? I'm not scared.
I have a business proposal for you. A big one. Are you interested?
I'm always interested in your proposals.
MELILLA, SPAIN NORTH OF AFRICA
That was La Mexicana. It was her, right?
Why don't you go have some rest? You need to relax.
Don't you think so?
Yeah, sure.
But that woman threatened to kill me!
And I'm convinced she can do it, she can send someone to kill me...
I've come to ask for help.
You're my friends, right?
Of course, Dris, how can you ask that?
Relax, relax. We'll protect you.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
I can put a couple of guards in your door.
Leave that slut Mexicana up to me.
Now take a couple of sleeping pills and go home to relax.
That was La Mexicana, right?
Yes. She needs to talk business.
We'll meet tomorrow, and I want you to come with me.
I swear I won't rest until I ruin you.
What will La Mexicana do? I can't trust anyone.
If Teresa says it's a good business, I have no reason to doubt her.
Remember, she made us a lot of money some time ago.
Voilà.
Teresa.
Your beauty is still your best ally.
Thank you. I'm glad to see you, you're always such a gentleman.
How are you?
Hoping you're not wasting my time today.
I see you're still annoying and disgusting.
- And you're at peace. - Enough with the introductions.
Let's talk business.
I want to buy two tons of hashish.
- Two tons? - Two. This week.
We don't have them now, but we can get them.
I see you no longer hesitate.
I'm out of here. I have a lot to do.
800,000 euros.
The rest upon delivery.
JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA SPAIN
We have to get rid of La Mexicana.
Thank you.
If the Russians protect her, forget it.
She's untouchable.
Unless you want to end up shot by the Russians in some corner.
We won't touch her.
We'll get her out of the way with your friends.
Which friends?
The police, Sergeant.
I don't know what you're talking about.
La Mexicana was in jail in Santa Maria, in Cadiz.
She's out on probation.
The authorities would be pleased to know what she's up to,
and we'll help them. We'll tell them, so she can go back to jail.
- What do you think? - You just came out of a lamp.
- You're a genius. - Thank you.
Where did you get that money from?
I'd rather do business with you. To be honest, he disgusts me.
Look. I'm making you a long term proposal.
This is just the first shipment.
I'm in charge of transporting the stash, and you of putting it where I tell you.
And who asked you to? The Russians?
Let's say we have certain information. Assuming it's the Russians,
why would they do business through you,
if they already have a good deal with Turkish and Lebanese transporters?
Their deal is not great. Not for them, for the Italians or for the Galicians.
I'm offering you a direct link. No intermediaries.
In the end, it's less risky and way cheaper. We all win.
- Will you keep part of the stash? - No. Never. I'm not interested.
I don't take drugs as payment either. I'm only interested in money.
Bill over bill.
So, are you in?
MARBELLA SPAIN
Pablo, here are the statements, including a Coast Guard pilot's.
Sum them up for me.
Okay. Before we went after the yacht, and from the same pier,
another boat set sail with two women and two men.
The men were foreign.
- Russian? - Yes, exactly.
They also identified one of the women clearly as South American.
- La Mexicana. - Exactly.
Good job, Martin. You can go.
And who the hell is she?
Notify the helicopter they can take off.
We must keep ourselves off their radar's scope.
They just stopped, and another ship is coming.
- Another ship? - Yes.
Let's intercept them, they're gonna load the drugs.
- Where are Patricia O'Farrell and Yasicov? - I don't know anything!
You only knew the hiding place, right?
- Was it you, Mexicana? - Mr. Commissioner.
If you haven't found anything, get lost.
It was definitely you.
How could I have let that woman fool me?
Damn Mexicana.
Sirs. I want you to locate Teresa Mendoza immediately.
Keep an eye on her round the clock.
I want to know every word she says, who she go out with, even what she eats.
I want to know where she is right now! Got it?
MELILLA, SPAIN. NORTH OF AFRICA
I'm only curious about one thing.
Why us?
Because despite all that's happened, you're a man of your word.
Because you're the best, and, most importantly...
Because I have two conditions.
Wow. I knew there was a catch.
Which conditions?
I want you to get Lalo out of jail in Morocco.
I want to take him to Spain with me.
And I want the Spanish citizenship for Fátima's son.
Otherwise, there's no deal.
I'm terrified Mohamed could know about my past.
I don't know how he would react, and...
I'm really afraid he might leave me.
You've seen him, he's a grown man. I couldn't keep him with me.
Don't worry, Fátima. He won't find out.
Especially now that we're leaving.
Where did you get the money to help me? You were broke when you got out of jail.
There are things I'd prefer you not to ask.
You'd better get used to not asking, okay?
Okay.
I won't ask.
Hello?
Thanks a lot. I expected no less from you. Thanks.
What is it?
Come. Sheila, Soraya!
I have excellent news.
Lalo will be released today.
Thank you!
Based on the original work of Arturo Pérez Reverte: La Reina Del Sur
MOROCCO
- Aren't they taking too long? - Teresa said they're doing paperwork.
They'll be here soon.
There they are!
What's up, big guy?
Don't look at me like that, you'll kill me!
- You're a Galician, huh? - Yeah.
Have you seen this, Sheila? We've hit the jackpot with these two.
- Great! - Come with me, handsome.
I have the best table in Yamila for you.
Sit, honey.
- Take me to Hell if you want to. - I'll take you wherever you want, sweetie.
Is that Lalo?
But...
What have they done to you?
He's asleep.
My poor Lalo.
He didn't recognize us.
He wouldn't recognize his own mother.
He couldn't stop laughing, he looked like a fool.
They tortured him so much he's stupid now.
He's dead inside.
Soraya, we lost Lalo the day he fell off Santiago's boat.
And don't forget this was Dris's fault.
When they set you up. I remember.
What can we do for him?
We barely have enough to eat.
Don't worry.
I'll put him in an institution where he can be treated as he deserves.
It's the least I can do for... El Gallego.
MARBELLA SPAIN
I know exactly who he was and his relation to La Mexicana.
But I don't understand why you're telling me this, Sergeant.
- Velasco, was it? - Sergeant Velasco, yes.
I'm telling you this because I know you're leading Teresa Mendoza's case,
and I thought you'd want to know about her visit to Melilla.
Melilla? La Mexicana's been in Melilla?
I'll be right back, Lalo.
What's going on, Teresa?
What is this?
Where did you come from?
We've been ordered to follow and protect you.
We've been following you for two days.
Oleg.
I warned you. Why are you following me, Dris?
I'm not, I didn't know you were in this ferry...
You won't fool me again.
I didn't fool you, I don't know what's going on here.
You know what's terrible about you? You brought out the worst in me.
The shit we all have inside.
I've never wished so much harm on anyone.
Yeah, that's the way it goes. You want to see me dead, right?
Have you ever killed anyone?
I've seen enough people die.
Don't ever do it.
That's when you lose your fear...
and learn how terrible it is to have you're enemies lives in your hands.
And you no longer wait for God to seek justice for you.
You make your own justice.
I'd love to see you dead.
To avenge Santiago, Lalo, all the women you exploited,
all the people that died in the boats because of you!
- Teresa, let's calm down and talk... - What should we do with him?
- Throw him into the water. - No, not the water!
No, please, Teresa! No! I'll die!
No, please, Teresa! Teresa!
Teresa, please!
MARBELLA SPAIN
Stop with the nonsense, Sergeant.
It's not that I don't appreciate the information.
But I don't get why that woman went to Melilla to threaten a cop.
You're not telling me everything.
I was only doing my duty.
Come on, be more clear.
Why would she want to threaten you?
It's simple, Commissioner.
La Mexicana's seeking vengeance.
For a report I filed against her some years ago,
and since I was the only one I knew about the smuggling that night...
Who and where?
The operation in which La Mexicana's husband died.
A Galician whose last name was Fisterra.
And she went to jail, of course.
Right.
Now I get it.
So you were the reason her husband died and she went to jail.
Well, actually... I'm not the only one.
Thanks.
The doctor will take care of you now.
He says you'll get better.
He promised me you'll get out of this chair.
I'll keep visiting you.
But you'll have to make a great effort. Got it?
Santiago?
Santiago's gonna be alright. Because he'll always be in your heart.
And in mine.
JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA SPAIN
What's going on? What is it?
Caña, calm down! It's alright. Calm down.
Sit down, sit down. Caña!
What's with the paranoia?
Let me tell you, Velasco.
You must do what I did. Change your name and disappear!
Well, I see you've taken La Mexicana's threat pretty seriously.
It's not her.
The Russians... I know them. They're animals.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, man.
Look, she'll be going back to jail anytime now.
She totally violated her probation.
Now she'll need a special permit to leave Cadiz.
Let's have some drinks and celebrate La Mexicana's fall. Okay?
MARBELLA SPAIN
I have big news for you, Mexicana.
While you were visiting Africa, I contacted a real state agency
and they found us a house in Malaga that's just spectacular.
You'll see. Bloody Mary?
No, Paty, it's too early.
Besides, I gotta see Oleg.
We'll talk later about him. When do we leave to Malaga?
Paty... I have plans.
Which plans?
Fátima and her son will live with me.
Dris.
You called me?
Would you like to be in charge until I come back?
Me, in charge?
What's going on, Dris?
Nothing, leave me alone.
At least tell me where're you going, when you'll get back.
I'll call you.
I told you once Fátima has been an incredible friend.
She was there for me when I needed it the most, when I had nothing.
You really can't help being melodramatic, like those Latin American soaps.
But it has nothing to do with our plans, our future, our house!
Patricia, you don't understand.
Fátima and her son will live with me. An I'm putting my foot down.
Great, let's set up a charity convent. We have no choice.
A commune. Perfect.
Let's see the kid's face when he learns about our business with the Russians.
Sure, we'll have to speak in code. Secrets here, secrets there...
Unless you put the kid as your maritime co driver.
Well, that's exactly why we'll have to be extra discreet.
Look, I won't argue with you, Mexicana.
I knew you would understand. Always so compassionate.
- We gotta talk about the Russian. - I can't, I gotta go. We'll talk later.
I'll go see him.
We have three new names.
Dris Larbi, Sergeant Velasco and Cañabotas.
Pablo.
We found La Mexicana.
We just started our business and already I owe you too much favors.
Thanks for protecting me.
I don't know what would've happened if your men hadn't come.
They told me what happened in that ferry.
That man... is evil.
I worked for him in a bar called Yamila.
- I'm sure that... - Tessa, I'd rather not know.
We all have a past.
As long as it doesn't affect me or my organization, I'm not interested.
I thought I should tell you.
I'd rather not know.
How did your dealings go?
Good. Everything's ready. I pulled my contact in Morocco,
and the first load will be delivered in three days.
It's two tons. I'm gonna need pilots, boats...
...and I also need to discuss a few details with you.
Something's going on that you're not telling me.
Yes.
It's really hard for me to say this.
Before we move on with our business, I need you to help me clean the house.
I have enemies who have hurt me so much.
I'll appreciate if you take them out for me.
Are you asking me to execute them?
Yes.
Is this the first time you've decided somebody's fate?
Yes.
Who are they?
The first is called Dris Larbi.
- The man from the ferry. - Yes.
He messed with me and El Gallego since we got together. He hated him.
Jealousy.
I don't know, maybe. With him, It could be anything.
What I do know,
it's that his hate became obsession when I left Yamila to live with El Gallego.
Tessa...
that doesn't prove he's guilty of El Gallego's death.
He was the intellectual author, Oleg.
The killers...
...were Cañabotas and Sergeant Velasco, the other two people I want to discuss.
They planned the whole thing.
And we suspected from the beginning,
when they suggested me not to go with El Gallego that night.
This stash is from the Italian mob.
If they catch me and I throw the packages away, they'll know I had to.
He who hires me knows that. And she's going. Period.
One of these days, something may happen.
- Try not to be the reason. - Ok, ok, it's your rules.
The betrayal became certain when we picked the blow.
Nothing made sense.
This load feels odd, did you noticed?
Yeah.
The bundles are bigger than usual, right?
The weight is normal, but they're bigger.
It's just regular hashish.
These aren't the concentrated bars they talked to us about.
Cañabotas talked about concentrated oil, this isn't it, Santiago. Let's go.
- Let's go! - Stop, stop!
Untie the rope.
When we just started sailing, suddenly out of nowhere,
the police boats and helicopter where there, stalking us.
Cañabotas and Velasco blew the whistle.
Gallego tried the impossible, going at full speed.
He tried to elude them, but there was nothing we could do.
I just tried to grab him to avoid falling.
The helicopter and the boats were pushing us to the shore.
Until suddenly, going at full speed,
we crashed into the Lion's Stone.
The last thing I remember was the impact.
And then I woke up in the hospital.
Without him.
It's the first time I've talked to someone about this.
Tessa.
You can count on me.
Soon you'll have news about your enemies.
We made visual contact with La Mexicana when she arrived to O'Farrell's house.
She left the place an hour ago.
Right now, she's with the Russian mob chief.
What do you want us to do, Pablo?
First of all, she can't notice we're following her.
Second, get in contact with her probation officer.
I want to know if La Mexicana asked permission to leave the mainland.
And if she didn't, she gave us her detention in a silver plate.
Pablo...
A woman that made us believe she was sailing in a boat
when it actually was a trap, wouldn't make that kind of mistake.
Don't overstate her, she's a woman and a beaner.
Come on, do as I say.
TERESA MENDOZA OLEG'S PROTÉGÉE
We have the boats you asked for.
But I want to see them with you so you can approve them.
Yeah, awesome. Whenever you like. I'd also like to hire the pilots myself.
I know how to tell the good ones apart. We all know each other.
The way I work is pretty simple, Oleg.
You tell me what I need and I add my experience.
It's just stash going from A to C, I'm the B.
I like how you work.
Like in the Army.
We see eye to eye. There's a soft spot I'd like to talk about.
- Patricia. - What about her?
I set her up last night to see how far she can go.
When she's high, she has no limits.
She talked about our business to a stranger.
If you cannot control her, there's only one solution.
Don't worry. I'll take care of her, I'll control her. I promise.
Come in, make yourself at home.
I guess that as my father's lawyer you were surprised by my call.
Certainly. But I warn you Mr. O'Farrell forbade me...
Save your speech. This is a present for my father.
I'll sign these papers so you can give them to him.
All yours.
- Tell us, Ahmed. - What?
So Dris is gone and left you in charge of Yamila?
She's just jealous. He's not gonna leave you in charge.
- And why not? - What I was saying...
The dude left in a hurry, completely wet.
And he didn't say where he's going or when he'll be back. Nothing.
I saw him leave, and he looked like he was running from someone.
- This is so strange. - Hey...
- Is Dris here? - No.
He didn't say where he left, Sheila says he was fleeing!
Fleeing? But...
- Did you see him? Is he alive? - Of course he's alive.
Why? What happened?
You're not gonna believe it. Tere called me.
She said she run into Dris in a ferry.
- In a ferry? - Go on, please!
Wait, wait!
It seems that... him and Teresa had a big, big argument.
Oh my God. If anyone here knows about arguing with her, it's me.
- Just wait, girl. - What?
Dris was so scared he fell into the water.
- Dris fell into the water? - Into the water?
Why?
Poor thing, what if he drown?
I wish he'd drowned!
That slaver!
- Into the water... - Let the sharks eat him.
In the outskirts of Estepona.
You know the boss.
He's rewarding me because I didn't say I'm skipping this job.
And here I am, in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the first speeder to fine.
You gave me good luck. I gotta go, there's my first customer.
092 to central.
I'm chasing a car.
POLICE
What?
As I said before, Pablo, La Mexicana wouldn't leave this loose end.
Here's the permit she asked to go to Melilla.
Okay, she's not that dumb.
Another score for her.
But that's not all.
In this permit from the Cadiz police...
they authorize La Mexicana and O'Farrel to move to Málaga.
Málaga? What will they do there?
I don't know.
Good afternoon.
You were speeding, man.
- Documents. - La Mexicana says hi.
Who?
Let's go.
