I'll never mess with innocent people, Oleg. Not with families.
You still have a soft heart.
You have to leave the house.
- How didn't I see this before? - What?
Martin, call a judge and ask for a search warrant.
And the best thing is I have six lives left to find Teresa Mendoza.
Mexicana, they brought this for you.
What's this? I've done nothing!
- Check everywhere. - You have no right to enter like this.
I'm Dris Larbi. I called from Spain.
I am in need and only you can help me.
Still!
Let me go, you son of...
Did I mention I have one of your pilots?
Mario. I was just interrogating him.
The man looks like he wants to talk. Right, Martin?
Of course.
He's not the kind to stand pressure, miss.
He doesn't want to go back to jail and he wants to negotiate.
- I don't know what you mean. - I think you do.
Good evening.
- Did you see how she reacted? - Of course.
Something bad's happening to her.
Oleg. Please tell me you have the boy.
Teresa, listen. When they got there it was already too late.
- He's kidnapped. - It can't be.
- How? Who took him? - I warned you, Teresa.
The Turks!
Mohamed?
Boy, what's wrong?
Mohamed? Mohamed, aren't you in school?
I can't hear you, stop playing with the phone.
We'll talk at home. I have lots to do.
I love you. I can't hear you. See you, my boy.
All day playing with his phone.
MEXICO CITY
She exchanged dollars in Culiacan's market. That's what she did.
At least that's what I know.
That's a big step from what you are telling me.
I don't know what to tell you, sir.
Tell me, you made this long trip to Mexico for a reason, right?
What do you want from me?
All I want is for you to help me be safe from Teresa Mendoza.
Save you? What can I do?
You can do a lot.
I don't know why Teresa Mendoza can't come back to Mexico.
So, Mexico is the only place where I'm safe.
You're a very powerful person.
You can put me in contact with Teresa Mendoza's enemies.
I'll tell everything about her. I want revenge from her.
Look, sir, with all respect, you're in the wrong place.
I assure you, you won't find anything strange here.
Also, Teresa Mendoza can come back when she wants.
I wouldn't do anything to that girl.
She was like a daughter when she was with my godson.
No, I'm asking nothing from you. Really.
I ask for nothing. I'd just like to go to Teresa Mendoza's land.
To know her past.
Because I'm sure she's running from her past.
Are you sure?
How strange...
Batman.
Sir, I'm leaving for Culiacan. I just came to say bye.
How timely, son.
Look, he's Dris Larbi.
He comes from Spain.
My pleasure.
If you're going to the North, you could take him.
Yes, boss.
He wants to know Teresa Mendoza's land.
I'll take him.
- Very good. - Take good care of him.
- Mr. Epifanio, thanks a lot. - Take care. You're in good hands.
- Thanks a lot. - Look after him, Batman.
Of course, boss.
That money you found is from the sale of some engines.
I can prove it. A cousin bought them. We can call him.
What about your pics with Teresa in the dock?
What's the problem?
I've known her since she was Gallego's wife.
Is it illegal to have friends?
I won't be judged twice for the same. I served my time.
I want to see my lawyer.
You won't need him, Mario. Do you know why?
I'll set you free.
You signed your own death sentence.
You, La Mexicana, and the rest of the pilots displaced the Turks.
You took their business, and you know those guys.
So I'll sit calmly in my office and wait for the news of your beheading.
Martin, set this walking corpse free.
Okay.
Take him inside.
What will you do to me?
Don't try anything, or I'll kill you.
I have to do something.
What will I tell Fatima? That they kidnapped him because of me?
I really don't know what to do. I want to talk to him and know how he is.
I told you it will bring you trouble if they haven't realized he has the phone.
- What do I do, Oleg? - Calm down, that's the important thing.
I warned you, this is no game.
You never should have taken him with you.
Alright, I know. I can't change it.
Tell me if you won't help so I can do something.
- We can't do anything without him. - You're wrong, dear.
- I won't get involved in this. - What?
Will you leave me alone in this?
I thought we were partners.
Hello.
Okay. Thanks.
We're screwed.
They confirmed who has him. It's a Turk. His name's Tarik.
That man's insane.
Are you comfortable?
Don't cry, boy. The good part hasn't started yet.
See how your family doesn't care about you?
What's this?
Bring him.
No.
Is this your mother?
Okay, talk to your mom. Come on, talk to your mom.
- Mohamed, what's wrong? - Mom.
Mom, help me!
- Mohamed, why do you scream? - Bring him. Let's go.
Come on.
Did you hear, ma'am? Next time you see him, he'll be dead.
Tell La Mexicana I say hi.
The message La Mexicana received made her more nervous than she was, Pablo.
Yes, she even left the pics. Who could have sent them to her, Martin?
I told Mario my Turkish mob theory. I hope I'm not wrong.
It's obvious it's them, Pablo.
They sent La Mexicana the pics just when the Russians received the first cargo.
If we're right, a mob war will start
which will turn the Sun Coast upside down.
Everything depends on Yasikov's reaction.
What's on your mind, Pablo?
- This war's convenient, Martin. - Really? Why?
Let them kill each other. We'll repatriate their corpses.
If I take part,
if one of my men's discovered helping you against the Turks,
then it won't be you and Tarik's issue about Mohamed's kidnapping.
It will start a war between my organization and the Turks.
It would involve my bosses in Moscow. See why I can't do anything?
Even I understand it, but it's clear we must help the boy.
It's Fatima. What will I tell her?
- Fatima. - Teresa, they took Mohamed.
He called and he was screaming...
I don't know. It's as if they were hurting him a lot, Teresa.
Then, a man told me...
That the next time I saw my son I'd see him dead.
I don't get it, Teresa!
He also told me to say hi to you.
I don't understand. Do you know them? Teresa, I'm going crazy.
Don't move, Fatima. I'm coming.
They called her.
Poor Fatima is so nervous. I have to tell her the whole truth.
Teresa.
I can't promise anything, but I'll do all I can to help you.
CULIACAN, SINALOA
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Welcome to Culiacan.
Pote, the door.
No, I can do it.
BASED ON "LA REINA DEL SUR" BY ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE
Take this pill. You need to relax.
I don't want anything. I'll be calm when my son's with me.
Teresa, I heard him scream.
It wasn't a normal scream. They were hurting him.
Teresa, I'm lost. Please tell me what's going on.
Why did that man mention you?
The men who kidnapped Mohamed are my enemies.
Your enemies?
Since when do you have enemies? I don't get it.
Fatima, they're complicated business matters.
Don't treat me like I am stupid! Okay?
What are you up to, Teresa?
It must be big if those people have my son.
Is it drugs?
So that was the business you didn't want to explain.
"Fatima, don't ask. I can't answer."
What did you do to them for this to happen?
Fatima, I assure you...
Don't assure me anything, Teresa. Tell me the truth. Okay?
I heard my son scream and it ripped my heart apart.
My son is in danger. I want to know why.
Pati and I are partners.
We have deals with a Russian called Oleg.
We traffic Moroccan drugs for him-
That used to be the business of the men who have your son.
So...
They killed the two men of your life because of drugs,
you went to jail, and you're still in that, Teresa?
I didn't ask to be in it, Fatima.
I didn't.
It's circumstances. Life constantly puts me there.
I didn't look for it.
Why did you bring me from Melilla? Why?
You told me I'd be happy beside you. You promised.
Because I love you as if you were a part of me.
Because I needed you beside me.
Because I needed to feel I had a family.
That's why I brought you here, so you wouldn't be in danger.
It was just too late.
I hate you.
- I hate you. - Let's calm down.
Leave her, Pati.
We're talking about her son's life.
Tell me everything you need to say if it makes you feel better.
Mohamed will be fine, I swear.
I'll go get him. It will be fine. I swear they won't touch him.
- I swear. - Teresa, my boy.
Teresa...
Have you thought about it?
If you want to avoid war with the Turks...
May I suggest something to you?
What if you call those men? They have Mohamed's phone.
Teresa, make them promise they won't hurt him.
Please.
I can't talk to them, Fatima. Not until I know what I'll tell them.
I need time to think about it.
My son doesn't have time.
Calm down, Fatima. Ruminating won't get you anywhere.
- Mohamed... - Let her go.
What is it, Teresa?
What is it? What...
Teresa.
What's that?
- Fati... - It's better if you don't...
Give me that... Let me go!
What's this?
What was that? I'm dizzy.
Some pills to calm you down. You'll feel better.
- It's Oleg. - I'll go. She's calm now.
Teresa, if my son dies I'll die too.
Your son will be fine.
He'll be okay.
He'll grow up and have a nice life with you and we'll all be happy.
Even if I have to die for him. Get it?
Good evening.
- Let's go, Fatima. They have to talk. - He'll help us. Go with Pati.
You made me respect you, Teresa. Oleg Yasikov respects few people.
You're a leader. Behave as one.
- I can't. - Yes, you can.
- I can't. - Yes, come on. Come on.
I'm okay now. You're right.
- What do we have to do? - That's how I like it.
It's risky.
You decide.
You have to call the Turk leader. Do what you do best.
Negotiate with him like you once did with me.
His name is Tarik Al-Kalam.
He's a bit crazy but I know that you can control the situation.
If you see he gets out of hand,
there's something extreme you can do.
We thought of the following idea.
Make sure there's some distance between him and Mohamed.
If the boy fainted because of a finger,
imagine what will happen when we chop his head off.
- What about Teresa? - I'll take the Mexican.
Then you take her. After that, let the worms eat her.
- Who is it? - Tarik Al-Kalam?
- Who is it? - Teresa. La Mexicana.
I called to negotiate Mohamed's release. How is he?
He's doing well.
We're letting some hours pass
to cut more fingers off and send them to his mother to complete the set.
Stop hurting him. Tell me what I have to do.
If you want the boy, you have to come alone.
- Alone, get it? - Alone?
- Yasikov is with you, right? - No, he's not with me.
- He doesn't want to get involved. - He's smart.
I'll repeat it.
Come alone. One lie, Mexicana, and...
I swear by Allah I'll chop the boy's head off.
Give me the address.
- Pablo. - What?
I have the school's surveillance video.
Great, play it.
Stop it there. It's him.
That's the moor. La Mexicana's protégé.
- You're right, it's him. - Of course,
this must have been the message she received.
- That's why she was nervous. - What should we do, Pablo?
- Do we track the boy? - None of that.
I have to send my daughters away because of this woman.
Let her suffer as she did to me.
- You can't risk yourself like that. - Patricia, you'll wake up Fatima.
I gave Fatima pills, she's asleep.
What do you want? To be killed by them too?
I don't care, if I can get Mohamed free.
If you go, they'll kill you too, and in vain, because he'll die anyway.
Don't even say that, Patricia.
They want me. The boy is just bait.
Fatima will die if anything happens to him, and I'll die too.
- I'm not convinced about this. - I know, but there's no option.
I'm scared, Mexicana. At least let me go with you.
No, we talked about it. I have to go alone.
I'm scared too. But I'm more scared of not getting Fatima's son back alive.
Take care of her.
What if something happens to you? Who'll look after me?
- It will be okay. Let's go, Oleg. - Let's go.
Well, you already know.
We have to make La Mexicana believe this is an exchange.
Her for the boy.
When we have her, we kill them both. Understood?
Wait for my signal, because before killing her...
I want her to see the boy die.
Go to your places. Come on.
Here I am. Alone, as you asked.
You're brave. You have guts.
So you're the Mexican who stole our business.
- I want to see Mohamed. - What's the deal?
I'll give you back the Russian deal if you give me the boy.
- In 24 hours, I'll leave Spain forever. - And I have to believe you.
I prefer an exchange.
I want you in exchange for the boy.
Okay, then.
But I'll turn myself in only when I see Mohamed safe and away.
How will he leave?
It's hard to drive without a complete hand.
Bring the boy!
Aunt! They'll kill us!
Be still, or I'll kill him! Be still!
You need to have guts to do something so risky.
She does.
Do you trust her that much?
I trust no one, and you know it.
But Teresa... Teresa is special.
Are you falling in love?
Us Russians fall in love a lot.
But we have few friends.
At this age I value a friend more than a woman.
Teresa is that. A good friend.
But is she dies... Tough luck.
Life is what it is, and not how we want it to be.
Where is this girl? Fatima!
Did the earth swallow her?
Come on, Teresa. Answer.
Oh, God...
Pati, why are you calling me? I'm waiting for Teresa's call.
Fatima disappeared. I can't find her anywhere.
Something could happen to Teresa because of her.
Thanks for telling me.
- What's wrong? - Everything.
Basque, are you in position?
Can you see her? Change of plans.
If things go wrong, kill all Turks.
- Please, don't kill me! - Let him go!
I've researched you.
The word on the street's that you behave like a man.
Men never honor their word.
You won't stop working with the Russians.
You'll go after the French and Italian.
Did I mention that us men lie?
No one gets out of here alive.
If you kill him, we all blow to pieces.
I have enough to blow all this place up. You decide, Tarik.
Give me the boy and I'll honor my word, or we'll all go to hell.
CULIACAN, SINALOA
DOOR TO HELL
- Him? - Yes.
What do you want?
Who are you?
- We have a common enemy. - What did you say?
I know you're locked here because of an enemy I also have.
Male or female?
Do you know Teresa?
I had to escape Spain because of her.
Okay.
What did you do?
What do you know?
I know everything about Teresa Mendoza.
I know where she lives, what she does, and who protects her.
Good.
I like you.
Westerners don't sacrifice themselves. You don't believe in Holy War!
- Those explosives are fake. - Don't challenge me, Tarik!
If I press this not even your mom will recognize you.
I'll kill him.
- No! - Fatima!
Fatima!
Answer me.
Fatima.
Mohamed.
Mohamed?
I'm sorry.
Done, Oleg. They're all dead. Just like you asked.
- Teresa and the boy? - Sorry, Oleg. I told you.
They're all dead. We could only save the boss.
Forgive me.
You forgive me.
Basque, get her out of there before the police arrives.
Okay. Clear the site.
Listen, where the place is.
Ms. Teresa. Ms. Teresa, we have to go.
- We have to go. - I don't want to.
- Madam, the police! - It was my fault! No!
- I'm sorry but we must go. - No, I won't leave without them!
- We have to go. - Let me go!
- Fatima! - Quick!
