Now I realize what I feel for you.
I don't want you to get hurt.
I want you to carry that gun at all times... and to be careful.
Paty's out of control. Da.
She could ruin you-know-what.
Congratulations, you're pregnant.
The load was shipped on the Aurelio Carmona,
with a Colombian flag and registered in Barranquilla, sailing to Agadir, Morocco.
You're the only one who knows I'm pregnant.
And nobody else should know, got it?
Don't worry, ma'am.
Nino saw you leaving the anti-narcotics office...
And I want to know...
what was Tesa Mendoza's attorney - and boyfriend - doing there?
Needless to say, I sent a detailed report regarding your good performance here.
To Washington.
Operation Zafo is over, Verónica.
He shouldn't notice he's being followed.
When did he notice?
I need to talk you.
About what?
I'll tell you when you get here.
If you don't believe me, call Flores.
Ask him what we were discussing.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
Teresa, I'm only trying to get rid of those cops who are after you.
But I believe you, Teo.
I just don't get why the quarrels with Oleg.
Why does he have to bother you with these issues?
You know what bothers me?
That he won't admit he's madly in love with you, Teresa.
Please, Teo, we already discussed that.
- The Russian is jealous. - Don't talk nonsense.
He knows we're dating...
Everyone in Spain knows it after Malaespina's report.
Why do you behave like that? Why so angry?
Honey, I'm not mad at you.
But the Russian is trying to build a wall between us.
And he won't stop until you and I argue.
You'll see.
Teo...
Oleg is only looking after the money he invested in me.
Ok? We're partners.
And he's a businessman, and so am I, that's all.
Okay, if you say so...
I have some business with a potential investor. If you want...
we can meet for dinner.
I'll call you when I'm done.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Take a pill for that migraine, okay?
I love you.
Gorgeous.
I know...
I know, but it still hurts.
You're young, that's why you got entangled with Patricia.
Do you want me to be honest?
Everything that happened was my fault.
No, it was my fault, too. I knew this was going to happen.
That's why I asked you to go back to Mexico.
You shouldn't be here when Patricia lands in jail, got it?
Yes...
I understand, and I appreciate it.
Did she call you already? Did she pick up the car?
No... Paty's car is still outside.
I think she'll want to see you when she picks it up.
Don't worry... I don't want to see her.
I couldn't, it would hurt too much.
Even though Paty's in the past now,
I'll never be able to forget her.
How's that migraine?
So-so. A little better.
Perhaps you're hungry, Mexican?
Since you came before coffee time and you didn't have anything to eat,
I brought you your favorite sandwich:
Cabrales cheese and dry-cured pork.
It has a very strong smell!
It smells awesome to me.
It stinks.
Take it away, please.
What is it?
Migraine heightens the sense of smell like in pregnant women.
It happened to my sister every time she was knocked up,
and she had seven kids.
She could smell everything, just like a wolf.
With the last kid, she had cravings for candles.
And with another one, she'd vomit when she smelled olives.
Aren't you planning to have kids?
At my age? No way!
And thank God I didn't get pregnant by my late husband.
Imagine they would have come out like their dad or grandmother.
Poor kids! How awful.
Look, Teresa, some women are meant to have...
the kids that other women couldn't.
My sister, for instance, had seven kids, that's enough for you and me.
And some women like us can't have babies.
The sad part is that, when we get older, we'll have nobody to take care of us.
And the good part is that we have our freedom, because kids tie you down.
They make you settle down, sow, reap, shelter,
and you stop belonging to yourself to belong to them, body and soul.
And there's no guarantee they'll turn out to be good kids,
and that when you're old, when you need them the most,
they won't kick your ass out.
Nursing homes are packed with the elderly whose children don't visit them.
What a speech I gave you!
I'm sorry.
I felt inspired.
At least let me say a proper goodbye.
I was very rude, and you don't deserve that.
You've always been wonderful to me.
And, although I've never told you, I love you.
Well, don't get me wrong, Verónica.
I'm going out to get some food and I'd like you to join me for dinner.
Is that okay?
I like you, Willy. I'll see you in half an hour.
His name is Willy.
Don't you think that maybe...
a child changes your life?
For good or for bad, but it does.
I know why you're thinking about that.
It's because of Teo, right?
If you're thinking about children,
it's because you really like that man.
I didn't say that.
I wouldn't think twice about it, he's a wonderful man.
What a thing to say. I've got to go.
Thanks for the awful-smelling sandwich.
It's the thought that counts.
Thank you.
It smells good to me.
I was dying to see you.
That's why I came.
I'm going to kill you with pleasure.
The load is arriving at Agadir tomorrow,
and I'll take it to Moscow in three days.
Everything worked out pretty well.
Nothing has changed. Why the face?
Your plan is perfect...
as usual.
But...
I'm worried about the people around you.
Paty... and Aljarafe.
Yeah, Teo told me you had an argument.
I just know that Detective Flores went to my house,
and considering the information he handles,
I got a bit scared.
Teresa, you can't be scared by anything like that.
Teo is just jealous of you.
He thinks you're in love with me.
I told him we like each other a lot,
and that our friendship is worth more than a thousand lovers.
Horosho.
"Our friendship is worth more than a thousand lovers."
I like that.
Well...
what have you been trying to tell me since you got here?
You really know me.
What do you think about having children?
Martini, please.
Why are you asking me that question?
No reason.
Tell me about your childhood.
What was it like?
Mine?
Well, I don't know, I guess like any.
Neither good nor bad.
It was a different time, I lived in the Soviet Union, you know.
A lot of sacrifices and not much freedom.
The evil Yankee Imperialism...
Too much Socialism and too little potatoes.
That was almost the only thing we could eat.
What about yours?
I also was hungry sometimes, I guess.
We always ate the same thing.
Beans and tortillas. Nothing else.
I remember having a pair of shoes
that my mom would let me wear only to school.
While I was in school.
My mom went crazy after Dad left her.
She became...
I don't know... She became a prostitute, alcoholic.
She didn't know how to treat me, so she would beat me and kick me.
Men would come for her every night.
Drunk men.
And since they saw me there, they also wanted to molest me.
It was a tough childhood, right?
Since they saw I was the daughter of a prostitute,
they thought I was like her.
So my first time was with several men.
Tesa...
Are you pregnant with Teo's baby?
No. Of course not.
But have you considered the possibility?
It's hard to talk about that with you.
I think... I feel lonely.
Could it be that you miss your homeland?
Mexico.
Son, you have to eat.
You haven't eaten in days.
What did I say, mom?
Look at the hounds my uncle brought to keep me out of the street.
I'm locked up here. What can I do?
Is that what's happening? Why didn't you tell me?
Mom, how can I explain it to you?
Do you want to argue with my uncle? That's the last thing I want.
Besides, I know you have a delicate blood pressure,
and I don't want to make you worried.
My dear boy, don't you say that.
Eat something, okay?
I'm not hungry, mom.
A little bit, darling!
Let me explain. This is more important.
I just wanted my uncle to be president.
But that can't be done. He's got me locked up in here.
- I don't care anymore. - Eat, my boy.
- It's very tasty. Eat, please. - No.
I'm so proud of you, darling.
Since your uncle is on his way to Culiacan,
I'll ask him to end this punishment.
- Eat. - Are you sure?
- Yes, darling, I promise. - Ok.
Is it tasty?
Oh, my boy!
I love you, baby.
You can't imagine my sexual desire.
I really want you.
I'm dying to be with you.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH
SERIES BASED ON THE ORIGINAL WORK OF ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE
"THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH."
9 MISSED CALLS 2 NEW MESSAGES
This is for you.
Is it an Easter egg?
More than that. It's a tradition of tsars.
Faberge, an artist and jeweler, made 56 imperial eggs.
Twelve of them never appeared. This is one of them.
I inherited it from my grandfather. Its value is...
immense for me.
That's why I'm gifting it to you.
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
You are the perfect man, you know?
Gosh!
It seems we arrived too late in each other's lives.
Maybe it had to be that way,
so our relationship can last forever.
More than a thousand loves!
The mission is already finished,
and we have better things to come.
Yes, you made me feel a little better after all that we talked about.
I learned a lot from this mission.
All that you don't learn in training.
I admire you, Willy.
Thank you!
I also admire you, because...
if it wasn't for of you, we wouldn't be about to catch all these people.
Ok, I'll go! I have to finish packing, and...
thank you for dinner! The cakes were very tasty.
That's the best I could do, right?
You know you have to go to Spain without saying goodbye.
All hell is going to break loose in Transer Naga.
As you say.
Verónica, I...
I'll take you. I want to be at the office at zero hour.
Let's go.
Hello.
Hi. I've been calling you. Where were you?
Well, I told you I had a meeting with an investor.
- Maybe I had no network when you called. - Maybe.
You smell so good!
Yes. I went to pick up the girls, so I took a shower after.
You smell delicious.
And I love how your body smells.
I want to spend this night with you.
But what do you say if we pick up the girls first, and...
we have dinner, the four of us?
How come?
I would like you to get acquainted with them and vice versa,
so that they see you as family.
After all, one day you will be their mother, right?
The car keys...
Here they are.
I know these things take time, and my kids won't call you mom overnight.
But we have to start somewhere, right?
I don't know what to say, Teo.
We've just met, and...
maybe we should take things slow and delicately with them.
Aren't you excited about my kids calling you mom?
Sorry. Did I say something wrong?
No.
I feel a little under pressure, that's all.
We should take our time.
We're only having dinner.
You are right. Let's have dinner with your kids, Teo.
All right.
I will call Aurora and tell her we're picking them up.
All right, tell me.
I have some news that might be interesting for you.
I've been following Teo Aljarafe, and I found that...
he's having an affair.
The bastard also has great taste.
You should see the chick he picked up. She's freaking hot, Oleg.
Poor Tesa...
No shit, poor Tesa?
It's funny coming from you, you're with a different girl every night.
Nino...
Tesa acts just like us.
She is practical. Her hands don't shake.
She's a great strategist.
But her heart is feminine, she needs to love to feel alive.
She can't control it.
I must help her to control her two broken wings.
And who would that be?
Don Juan of Aljarafe...
and that lunatic Paty.
It's been several weeks since you came to the rancho.
Since I am the campaign manager, I must go with the candidate from city to city.
But well, now that we are finished, I'll be here.
I want to ask you to lift Ramiro's punishment.
He was gossiping, right?
He's not much of a man.
Don't talk like that about him!
Mercedes, I need to go back to work. Can I, please?
He thinks you hate him.
What is wrong? Why don't you let him out?
He's a young boy, he needs to have fun with his friends,
- live a normal life. - He is not normal, Mercedes!
You've known he wasn't normal since he was born.
Now he is insisting... What do you think he got into his head?
That I must be president.
And do you know by what means?
By making an attempt on the candidate's life.
Did he mention that?
How can you be so ruthless with your own son?
Ramiro is the product of a bad night,
of your grief with my brother, and a mistake of mine,
a mistake that happened 28 years ago.
You hate Ramiro even by the way he breathes,
but you spoil your daughters and granddaughters.
Of course. They are the legitimate ones.
But Ramiro is your only male child.
Yes, but he didn't get anything from me.
He's been always unstable and violent.
He can't form a single intelligent idea.
Well, he can't even control his vices.
My boy is not vicious.
He's wonderful and kind-hearted.
Mercedes...
Don't you think I want Ramiro to be an upstanding man?
But I must keep an eye on him all day, like a wild animal.
I never know how his insanity is going to break out.
Look, he is still alive thanks to my protection.
This country is swarming with mafias and brainless people.
And Ramiro would be six feet under before turning 30.
God forbid.
Mercedes, let me work, ok?
I have important things to do, logistics, the elections are in three months.
They are really excited. It's incredible to look at them and understand they are...
part of you, your flesh and blood. They need you.
It's the best thing that could happen to you.
- Your girls are beautiful. - Yes.
It's the best thing I've ever had with Eugenia.
I love them. They are the apple of my eye.
Paty?
What would you do if you found out that Teo is cheating on you?
What are you talking about?
I just found out.
Lupe dumped me because she is with another man.
I'm following them now.
Patricia, are you ok? You are high, aren't you?
You don't believe me because you don't love me anymore.
You don't need me in your life.
I am a burden.
And you're not my Count of Monte Cristo.
Because now you really think you're the Queen of the South.
Paty is really bad.
And she will get worse.
- She is high, right? - I think so.
She asked me if I knew you were having an affair.
I didn't understand her.
What are you talking about?
I don't know, Paty is bad. She's incoherent, I didn't understand her.
Excuse me.
I can't explain it. They got us. Shit, they caught us.
Customs Surveillance has just intercepted the Aurelio Carmona.
That can't be.
You know, I'll go home.
I'll take a taxi and I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Ok, be careful.
I have to finish packing and... Early tomorrow I'll leave for Mexico.
I'll see you soon there.
Thank you.
I'm not bothered by you having an affair, but lying to me, Lupe.
Is that your lover?
I know you.
You're Willy, the DEA undercover agent.
You are a cop.
You are Willy.
We were introduced by Sánchez Godoy.
Teresa recognized you and you left in an airplane.
What are you doing with Lupe? Tell me!
I think you are mistaking me for someone else. It's not me.
I'm not mistaken.
You are the Willy from the DEA that helped Teresa out of Mexico...
when they killed that blond guy.
Lupe, what the fuck are you doing with this guy?
Paty, I just met him.
- Let's go home, you are high! - Don't touch me!
Yes, I'm high but I'm not an idiot.
You haven't just met this guy.
You met him a long time ago.
You are a betrayer.
Fuck.
What a pity,
it's not every day such a pretty girl mistakes me for someone else.
Start working together? On what?
Go back where you came from, or I'll blow your head off.
So from now on, you will be my personal assistant at this company.
Really? Oh!
Make sure nobody follows you.
I'm starting to understand everything.
- You're talking nonsense, get in the car. - Get off me!
You are a betrayer.
You betrayed me from the beginning. Everything was a lie.
Of course.
The keys, the forged documents, your desire to know the company and Teresa,
your love for me...
Everything was a lie...
because you are like him.
Fuck, you are a cop too!
Fuck.
The Aurelio Carmona was boarded on Spanish waters,
and, conveniently, the agents headed directly to the holds,
without using lasers, X-rays or shit.
They opened the cargoes, and of course, they found the goods.
- They knew, Teresa. It's crystal-clear. - It can't be. Who has that information?
We have a guy getting paid to tell us everything,
and he never told us about the raid.
Why? How?
The Customs guys were undercover,
with the boarding teams and a tugboat,
obviously borrowed from the merchant navy.
Those guys know we have a mole among them,
and they are turning the tables.
Teresa, what are we going to tell the Russians?
They're going to be pissed off when they find out we've lost all cargo...
What can we say? Nothing! Nothing but paying the losses.
- Teresa, it's 50 million. - 50 million, I know, Teo.
You are the financier, not me.
We deduct that loss from the earnings. Period.
But that's not what pisses me off.
What pisses me off is that somebody is snitching inside information.
And he screwed us.
- Who do you think it is? - I don't know!
The Galician? The Colombians?
And what is worse, somebody from here.
Someone from Transer Naga, who else?
Do you really believe that?
Right now I believe anything.
Call Sánchez Godoy.
How could I be such an idiot?
Being fooled like that.
Congratulations, Lupe. You are a great actress.
You made me believe you loved me,
- and I trusted you like a little girl. - Listen to me!
Everything had a reason, right? Even your resemblance to Teresa.
It wasn't a matter of chance, was it? Who chose you for the job, this guy?
- Fuck, Teresa has to know this. - We can't let that happen, Verónica.
Verónica? So that's your name?
- Oh God, what did I do? - Come here, you can't leave like that!
- You can't... - Get off me, traitor!
Teresa has to know this.
She never trusted you, but I didn't listen to her.
But I insisted, and coaxed her! Fuck!
Patricia...
Calm down.
We are going to talk. I'll explain everything that happened.
- No, no! - Paty!
All right, we'll keep in touch. Thank you.
No...
you can count on the money. For sure. Goodbye.
It wasn't Sánchez Godoy.
What did he say when you asked about the Galician?
He doesn't think it was them, and I agree. They wouldn't gain anything.
Call Patricia, please. Tell her it's urgent.
Right away.
We're in crisis, and we need to sort this out as soon as possible.
Go and do your stuff, we'll meet again when we find Paty, Lupe and Nino.
Don't go too far.
I'm almost sure it was somebody from the inside.
Darling, sorry to insist about the 50 million,
but it will take me a few days to get that money.
I'm not concerned about that, Teo.
Oleg and Sánchez Godoy know me and they'll give me a couple of days.
Anyway, start working tomorrow in the morning.
We made a lot of investments, real-estate operations, donations...
- Look, Teo. - Stocks at the...
Can we count on those 50 million returned to those people in a week?
I think it won't be a problem.
You think? Yes or no?
Yes. I'm sure.
Good.
Teresa, Nino is in the middle of something important that Oleg asked for,
I can't find Paty or Lupe. I called their homes, cellphones...
She has vanished.
Of course not! Paty is getting high somewhere with Lupe.
If they don't show up, I'll send Pote to go and find them.
I'll keep trying, ok?
Nobody outside this office knew about the Aurelio Carmona.
How did Customs find out?
I don't want to stick my nose into this,
but I can't help telling you what I think.
If you're looking for somebody inside, it can only be one person.
It's Paty.
