I have one recommendation: disappear.
Disappear!
Come on, man. Come on.
Your request has been fulfilled. You have two less enemies.
You should be happy. Those guys betrayed you and your husband.
I had them killed.
We have a problem. Pack a suitcase... Don't argue! Pack a suitcase!
We have to leave this place.
They gave back the half ton of coke to the Russian for money and protection.
What a business they made.
I heard you're back in the game.
I remind you that tomorrow we'll play Cops and Smugglers again.
I'll chase you again.
I realized the police are after every step you take.
- How? - Look over my shoulder.
What do you see?
Just let them follow you when you want to be followed.
Okay?
Stop or I'll call the police! We have nothing.
I'm Fátima's son, Mohamed.
- I'll be 17 in two weeks. - Boy, you're almost an adult.
So buy condoms and break hearts.
Teresa!
GIBRALTAR. SPANISH BORDER.
Why are you so scared, Edi?
- Me, scared? No... - I just came to propose something.
- Would you like to listen? - Sure.
I'd tell you to go for a walk, but... I'd rather we didn't, if you don't mind.
Don't shoot! Don't shoot...
Calm down. Don't get nervous.
If you could see yourself...
You don't look like the guy who left me rotting in jail.
- Teresita, I already... - I'm not asking you for explanations.
- Teresita, I... - Don't call me "Teresita."
Teresa... I swear I had nothing to do with what happened.
What are you talking about? Santiago's death?
May his soul rest in peace.
You know? I'm sure you had no knowledge about the trap set for us.
Otherwise I wouldn't be here. I would have sent some acquaintances.
The same ones that went with your friends. Remember?
Do you know what I mean? Yes, you know.
So, calm down. I'm just here to propose a deal.
The DEA informed us that part of the drugs the Russians got back
are being sold in Saint Petersburg.
They clearly paid La Mexicana and O'Farrell a lot of money for it.
What a stupid deal, right? Paying twice for the same.
Yes, but it's what Juarez hasn't wanted to explain us.
I'll find soon though.
These two spent almost 100,000 euros in less than 3 hours.
Look at the house O'Farrell rented in the outskirts of Gibralfaro.
Large gardens, pool, 6 rooms, overlooking the sea...
And a rent-to-own contract.
That means they still don't have the money to buy it,
but they plan to have it soon.
An O'Farrell without money?
Her father stopped giving her financial support.
These two are expecting big money. No need to explain the rest.
What's clear is these women will strike again.
Maybe by paying back a favor to the Russians.
For example, the execution of Velasco and Cañabotas.
We always go back to the same name.
Our elusive friend Oleg Yasikov.
How are you doing, dear Nino?
I'm not bad. I can think of worse things.
I imagine you'll get out of this soon. Do you need anything?
No, I'll tell you when I'm out. What do you want?
Because no one bribes half a dozen guards
and gets a phone in jail just to say hi.
You're right. I have problems with your successor.
I want to know how can I control him.
I imagined something like that.
So you want to know the weaknesses of commissioner Flores.
Okay.
I came because I need your services, Eddie.
- My services? - Yes, your services.
Am I talking in Japanese? You're a lawyer, right?
Well, I need to fill some bank papers.
Those fake companies you're so good at.
I don't understand. Look, if this is about Gallego Azteca...
No, nothing from the past. All new. It's very easy, Eddie.
Limited companies, with their bank accounts.
All in your name, of course.
Of course.
It's just, if Santiago was alive...
He'd die again, but of laughter.
If he knew I'm giving you work again.
He would at least have given you a good beating.
That woman is with me through good and bad times,
so she's my partner and has a say about all that's mine.
If she says Gallego Azteca, that's the name of the company.
If you don't like it, leave. I'll find another.
I'm sure this town is full of lawyers like you.
Are we clear?
Nothing bad will happen to you. If you're with me.
Get it?
With me, everything. Against me, nothing.
Very clear.
As clear as day.
Well, how about changing your diapers and going somewhere else to talk?
Excellent.
You have 5 minutes.
Eddie, your briefcase.
I know this guy. We almost put him in jail a few years ago.
He's back in business with La Mexicana. Those two are planning something.
I think they met when she trafficked with her husband Fisterra.
We won't have a case with just this picture and speculation.
We have nothing to show the attorney.
Neither about La Mexicana's new plans nor Cañabota and Velasco's murders.
Well, but we're closer.
By the way, Flores, are these two lesbians?
Maybe. O'Farrell always had a reputation of swinging both ways.
They were cell mates in Santa Maria.
Teresa, I wrote everything you asked. Anything else?
Not right now.
How long will this take?
Around a week. It depends on the banks.
I'll be waiting. Let me know.
Sorry, Mex...
Teresa.
You haven't told me the company's name.
You're right. I'll think about it and call you tonight.
Uh, Teresa...
Sorry, it's just it was all so fast and I didn't invite you for a drink.
Can I invite you for dinner? Come on, for old times.
Old times.
Don't even mention that.
Those old times when Santiago trusted you,
when you left me in jail, stole from me... All that is in the past.
Do you know why I chose you to start my new company?
No, I don't.
Because you stole from me already.
You won't fail me or rob me again, Eddie.
Besides, you know I have good friends now
that will do what I tell them to.
Remember Velasco and Cañabotas?
Well, I won't tell you more so you won't wet your pants again.
Bye, Eddie.
MADRID, SPAIN
What did I tell you?
I'm already in Spain.
Shut up, dammit!
I want the name of who sent La Mexicana to Spain.
Dris, why does that matter? Why does it matter?
Look, I've ruined my life by making favors to you.
There are people who want to kill me. Will you give me the contact's name?
Dris, why does it matter? That person's across the Atlantic.
When you told me you'd send me a girl, you told me she was running from Mexico.
I need to know what she did. If I don't, it's the same.
I'll start talking and we'll all fall. Is that clear?
Dris, I'll tell you all I know, but calm down.
Okay, I'm calm.
Dris, this conversation never happened.
Come on. What do you have to say?
An important Mexican man sent her. A former drug kingpin.
- I can't believe I'll tell you this. - You will, yes.
- His name's Epifanio Vargas. - Epifanio what?
- Hush. Epifanio Vargas. - Epifanio Vargas.
Don't screw me, Dris.
I hope it's true. If it's not true you're screwed too.
- You've been warned. - Don't screw me, Dris!
- Good night, guys. - Hi, boss. Everything fine?
Yes. Help me with the trunk, Mario.
- Yes. - Good night.
Good night. Follow me.
You have the radios, good. They have to be in the same frequency.
Check it before leaving. The operation is tonight at midnight.
The moon's good. God willing, we'll do fine.
This is point A. It's Moroccan territory.
A 2 ton cargo of hashish oil will be there for us.
Okay, we'll distribute those 2 tons between the 5 boats.
This is point C. It's Spanish territory.
So we're B. We'll go from here to there.
Here's the delivery point.
We don't know who'll deliver it in A or receive it in C.
No questions. Is that okay?
If things go wrong, see you in jail.
If things go well, you'll have thousands of euros in your pockets.
- Money for life. - Do you agree?
Good luck.
Pass all packages. Here are the coordinates and other details.
I want everyone focused, please.
Check if everything's okay. Check these before leaving, please...
CULIACAN, SINALOA
Senator Vargas, it's the plane in the runway.
They're here.
Batman, tell the driver to take Mercedes there, next to the plane.
I want her to be the first to hug her son.
Pote, take Mercedes next to that plane.
Go.
It's my nephew.
Blood is thicker than water, right? I had to bring him to Mexico.
Boss, I hope your nephew doesn't spill the beans.
Well, if he loosens his tongue... He's all yours, son.
I mean, I'll be sorry for my sister-in-law
and for the memory of my late brother.
- But, what can we do? - Right.
Just be careful.
...forward position 2...
Son! My son!
You're finally here, sweetheart!
Your uncle did what he promised you.
Oh, sweetie...
- Sweetie... - Come with us.
- Where's my uncle? - He couldn't come, sweetie.
He's busy. Remember he's a Senator.
- He had to be here. - Don't cry, sweetie...
Okay, it's time to go.
- I want to see my uncle. - Yes, sweetie.
Damn gringos...
MALAGA, SPAIN
Fáti... Fátima.
- You look great. - Aren't you going to hug me?
- I missed you, Mexicana. - I missed you too.
- Where's Mohamed? - In his room, watching TV.
Sorry about the key, I totally forgot.
Relax, I told you it was okay.
- Besides, miss Paty has been nice. - "Miss" Paty?
Mexicana, you're here.
It's been a crazy day decorating the rooms, but...
Yours is like a princess's room. Mine is like a Queen's.
- How was your day? - Good, good.
Long and exhausting, but good.
I knew it, so I made a special dinner. Sit down. You can serve it, Fátima.
Serve it?
- Why are there only two plates? - For us. Did you invite someone else?
Are Mohamed and Fátima not enough? Where do you think they'll have dinner?
Oh, laws are so annoying.
I don't understand half of what they say.
Son, explain this in simple words.
Mr. Epifanio, the Party wants that the lands used for maize exploitation
are in Mexican hands and not joint ventures...
No, son. I said simple words. Don't flourish it so much.
Just tell me what it is so I can tell the reporters.
Look, the objective is that the lands are in the hands of the peasants.
Answer this, please. My head's a mess already.
Hello?
Sir, a call from Madrid.
From Madrid? Is it a woman?
- No, it's a man. - Okay, give me that.
- You may leave. Go. - Yes.
Finish that.
Hello.
Yes, this is Senator Epifanio Vargas.
No, you don't know me.
My name's Dris Larbi. I'm calling from Spain.
We have a common interest.
Teresa Mendoza.
BASED ON "LA REINA DEL SUR" BY ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE
Mexicana, lets be practical.
I imagine they won't be idle. They'll have to do something.
What's better than taking care of you? We'll give them a fair wage.
Those moors, as you call them, are people I love a lot.
I didn't bring them here to be my servants or yours.
I brought them here to be happy. If you don't like it, tell me, Patricia.
Tell me and they'll leave tomorrow. We'll still be friends,
but you'll be with your friends, and I'll be with mine.
Okay?
Teresa, we have talked about your friends many times.
Tell me, what did Fátima do in Melilla?
I imagine she made a living somehow.
Waitress. In a bar.
But you're mad she does it at home. No one can understand you.
Being a waitress is one thing. Being a servant is different.
You're so selfish. You exude racism.
- So I'm racist? - Patricia, swear it.
Swear that you've never thought
that I was a damn Third World greaser when you looked at me.
Swear it.
I look at you and all I can think
is that the only person that I've wanted to share my dreams with...
is a Third World greaser.
CULIACÁN, SINALOA
Sir, how do I have to tell you that I don't know any Teresa Mendoza?
No, Oscar Aviles received her in Spain a few years ago.
You sent her.
Sorry, sir, but I insist that you're wrong.
But... that woman is a bitch.
I know she did something in her country that made her leave.
I need to know everything about her.
Who you are and why you sent her out of Mexico.
Sir, I don't want to be rude but you leave me no choice.
I'm a Mexican Senator and I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't want to hear from you anymore. Have a nice day.
Find out what's going on with Teresa in Spain.
Sorry. I didn't mean that.
I sounded like those soap operas you like.
Dreams and future. I sound so corny.
How will we make peace regarding Fátima and her son, Paty?
We'll have to agree. They have to do
something, not be around the pool all day.
That's exactly what you do every day.
Excuse me, that's very different. We're partners.
We agreed we're like a conventional marriage.
You're the man who works. I'm the housewife who stays at home.
What I do with my free time's my problem.
Okay, do whatever you want.
Mohamed will go to school. I'll ask Fátima what she wants to do.
- I'll find her a good job, for sure. - Okay. Perfect.
And so you know I'm not Hitler's successor, I'll apologize to them.
I suggest you pay attention. You won't see this many times.
Welcome to the Teresa table.
I'm Guadalupe Romero and I'll be your waitress tonight.
What would you like?
Some wine, Fátima?
Almost convincing.
- Have some too. - Thanks.
- Are you expecting someone? - No. You?
- I'll go. - No, don't worry. I'll go.
You should hire more people. I can't serve you if I'm at the door.
Please change that face. Really.
Even if she doesn't seem like one, Paty's a good person.
She has a good heart. You just need to know each other. Okay?
She seems angry about us being here.
- I think she's cool, and pretty. - Shut up, boy.
Cheers.
Teresa... You have a visitor.
In Russian.
Hi.
Look, this is Fátima and Mohamed.
They'll be living with us now. We're welcoming them.
Yes, what's up?
Who?
Ah, okay. Don't miss a detail, and keep informing me. See you.
Yasikov just reached La Mexicana and O'Farrell's house.
Now, if the Russians dare to visit them,
it's because their strike will happen sooner than we thought, Pablo.
I shouldn't say this, but... It's my duty.
Teresa, you're new in this business. There's things you must learn.
What happened? I don't like your face.
You can't live with those people.
Why?
The loneliness of power.
People who live like this...
In this business, we have no family.
Or friends, or acquaintances.
Only enemies.
If you really love them, keep them away. O'Farrell is enough risk.
I didn't choose this life, Oleg.
But it's your destiny. You must act in accordance to it.
Every person we love is a weakness. Enemies attack us there.
You're not well known now, but if we succeed in our plan,
people will talk about you soon.
They'll want you out of the game. Okay?
Okay.
I understand. I'll do what you say.
Actually, I came to talk about something related to this.
Teresa, there's no choice. It's that, or you could go to jail.
I can't, Oleg. This is stronger than me. It's beyond the limits.
They're following you. I saw a policeman outside.
They know I'm here. We have no one inside.
They cut off his head.
We have to stop commissioner Flores in any way.
Not at this price. No.
I can't. I'm sorry.
Let's do this.
You have all night to think about it.
Don't let the police follow your footsteps.
Okay.
NADOR, MOROCCO. NORTHERN AFRICA.
- Suleiman. - Hello.
- Nice to see you.
I loved you called me to meet and have a drink.
We haven't met in a long time, but it's late, I have to go.
I have a big job tonight.
A job, tonight? Are you moving hashish?
Two tons of pure oil.
Two tons? That's a lot of money. It's at least 2 million euros.
No one has that money. Well, the Russians do. Is it them?
The colonel didn't tell me who buys it. I'll just deliver it on a beach.
Here in Nador?
It's strange you're so interested.
You always said you didn't want to know about the business.
- What's wrong, Dris? - Nothing, Suleiman. I'm just talking.
Well, if nothing's wrong...
- Cheers. It was nice seeing you. - Yes.
A beach in Nador.
That will be enough.
Let's go.
- Nothing, Pablo. - Nothing?
Commissioner. Someone wants to talk about La Mexicana on line 1.
- It's a blocked number. - Try to trace the call and record it.
Everyone, shut up. Quick.
This is commissioner Flores. Who am I talking to?
Tonight, 2 tons of hashish will be shipped
from Nador to the Spanish coast.
- Okay, and who are you? - No, no, no...
You need to know something.
The buyer is a Mexican woman, Teresa Mendoza.
This could be the information we need, Martin.
- Tell the Coast Guard, let's... - No, Pablo, wait.
How can we be sure it's not false information?
They've done this before.
La Mexicana could have hired someone to mislead us with a call.
- Okay, who's following La Mexicana? - Perdomo.
- Hello. - Yes, this is Flores.
- Where's La Mexicana? - At her place, commissioner.
She hasn't left, that's why I hadn't called.
- Are you sure? - Sure.
The only people who came were in a van from the TV company.
How can you be so stupid? They ran away from you!
La Mexicana left in the morning. The information could be accurate.
Start the operation. Call the Coast Guard.
Okay.
800,000 euros. The second part of the payment.
It's a pleasure to do business with serious people.
Well, I have to go and start. They're waiting for me.
Good luck.
I'll need it.
You know you can call me if you need anything.
Will you spy on me every time I undress?
Uh... No. Sorry, miss Paty. I wasn't spying on you.
I think you've been hiding there for a while.
Sweet bird of youth...
What?
You're in an age in which you can't control your hormones.
Martin, what happened with the Coast Guard?
They'll put us through, Pablo.
Commissioner. Someone left this envelope for you.
Yes, commander. We need an emergency operation.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. I'll give commissioner Pablo Flores the phone.
Pablo. The Coast Guard's commander is on the phone.
Pablo! Pablo! The Coast Guard's commander is on the phone.
Leave me alone, Martin.
Pablo, we need the Guard to intercept the drugs.
- It's an order. Leave me alone. - What's wrong with you?
What's this?
I told you to leave my office!
Hi, honey. How are you?
I'm fine. No reason. How are the girls?
Why don't you go with them? I'm going home.
Nothing, I'll tell you later. See you.
You better go to bed, if you want no problems with your mom.
Not bad, Paty.
You still can make a 17-year-old be interested in you.
Pablo! I don't know what's wrong, but I have 20 men ready to go out.
You just need to tell the Coast Guard.
They suspect 5 boats that arrive to Marbella's port.
I also have a detailed land report to go.
Look, I have the landing place.
Look, here. Here, Pablo.
- Suspend everything, Martin. - What's wrong with you, Flores?
Nothing. I don't want more mistakes based in suppositions.
- We're this close to losing the case. - Pablo, please...
And...
Tell our man outside Teresa Mendoza's house to leave.
It's an order.
Juarez.
Do you know anything about the pictures I just received? Did you send them?
I don't know what you mean.
If I learn it was you who threatened my daughters...
You'll have nowhere to run from me.
You rotten criminal.
But with no strings attached, and untouchable too.
Don't you remember the deal we signed? Good luck, dude.
Oh, and say hi to your wife.
