Original subtitles

Two of my men have been killed.

One of the Mexicans has escaped.

Which one?

That darned bitch organized everything.

They killed Gatito. It was the Russians, it was her.

Don't you play clever with me, you get me?

Where are they?

I don't think El Ratas got this far. He was seriously injured.

This is the Mexican consulate.

What is it?

Nothing

You know, countryman, when you come back to these lands,

we'll be here, waiting for you to give you the welcome you deserve.

Teresa Mendoza is taking the local business

away from the Galicians, isn't she?

So it would seem. Yes, sir.

That woman had or has something to do with the US DEA.

I wouldn't be surprised if she had something up her sleeve.

What are you going to do with the remaining ten tons?

I do business with the highest bidder.

So tell your daddy that La Mexicana is not playing.

In three month's time, La Mexicana will become queen of the European market!

I've been reaching out to the bosses of different mafias

to allot those ten tons.

I don't know. That's the only thing I can think of. It's a possibility.

Selling that amount of merchandise in retail will take time.

- And time is synonymous with risk. - Well, yes. But I must assume it.

I've got no choice, Oleg.

Would you like me to call Sánchez Godoy and tell him you can't assume all of it?

I can talk to him if you like, you know how we liked each other.

We had some good vibe, like you say.

No, no, no. I must stick to my word.

Mainly in our first negotiation.

Otherwise, what's next?

Teresa's right.

Her name is on the line.

In this business, that's worth more than a thousand millions.

A misstep would take away much of her credibility. Or all of it.

OK. Bought.

How can we help?

Well...My plan is very concrete. I'll just need a person

who knows the Suncoast and the African coast extremely well.

Someone who knows about shipping points, camouflage, hidden ports...

Someone who knows which are the corruptible guards here and there.

Someone who knows a lot about ships

and knows the Mediterranean like the palm of their hand

and moves in it like a fish in the water.

I know that person.

You've been sent such beautiful flowers!

I don't think they're for me. Who sent them?

Of course. There's a card here...

Can you read what it says, please?

It says: "regards from your friends in Culiaca."

Culiacán, that's in Mexico.

Let me see it.

You must be very good friends, having sent flowers from that far away.

We are.

Very good.

Everyone knows him as Dr. Ramos.

He knows everyone and everyone knows him,

from Málaga to the Guadalquivir estuary.

Guards, coasters, cops, sailors, everyone.

Is he to be fully trusted?

Absolutely. A tombstone.

When I was Director of Anti-narcotics, one night I got to intimidate him

about a guy whose data we wanted.

There was no way. Not one single word.

Well, then I want an appointment with Dr. Ramos today.

You've got a phone call, sir.

Hello?

Hold on, please.

It's Siso Pernas.

He wants to strike an agreement with you.

I won't strike twice with those guys.

What should I tell him?

Give it here.

Siso Pernas?

I already said at the meeting what I had to say, all right?

I don't like wasting my time. Or making others waste theirs.

Pernas, the door is closed for me, is that clear?

Look, I'm sorry to interrupt.

But I'm very busy, I've got many things to do.

And I don't like discussing these things over the phone, it could be tapped.

Have a good day. Goodbye.

Take me to meet Dr. Ramos.

Son!

My son, my love!

I thought I'd never see you again.

- Don't stretch me so hard. - Oh, dear Virgin, thanks for saving him!

Thank you.

Welcome to Culiacán, Ramiro. Welcome to life.

Did you do what I asked for?

We already located the hospital, and sent the burial flowers.

El Pote must have received the message by now.

- May I join my son? - Of course, ma'am.

My little son.

The camera and sound system is fully activated.

You're one little genius, aren't you?

Teresa spoke very highly of you.

Oh, I'll say nothing, so it's not recorded.

- Thanks. - Hello, hello.

- This is Dr. Ramos. - Hello.

From now on, he's part of Transer Naga.

He'll take care of all the tactical aspects of the business.

This is my partner, Patricia O'Farrell.

Hello, Patricia.

I had been told about your beauty, but in person you're heavenly.

Thank you, Dr. Ramos.

We totally agree, she's an awesome woman.

This is Conejo. She's my right hand in everything.

Hello, Conejo.

This is Alberto, he's an electronics engineer

and is in charge of all communications.

I’m glad to meet you all.

We'll have time to speak a bit more and get to know each other.

Meanwhile, have a seat. We've got lots to talk about.

Bring the maps, will you.

We all know what's coming and it's a rather difficult move.

We're moving fifteen tons from America,

which are arriving in Venezuela.

We're bringing them from Venezuela.

And once in the Mediterranean, we're distributing it to several points.

Don't be so alarmed.

Because I've got a plan.

It's a plan I want to share with you all.

The cargo will be stored in car oil barrels.

All right?

Once...

Put it over there.

Once we're ready, once all the cargo is in Europe...

Won't you pick up the phone? That call's for you.

I'm sure it's not for me.

It is for you. Of course it is.

Here.

Hello.

Did you like the flowers I sent, Pote?

Ramiro.

Is that you?

Ramiro, since when?

I've always been El Ratas for my chums.

Or aren't we?

But...I thought you had been killed.

Then you thought wrong.

El Gato Fierros was the only one that was killed.

This Ratita is still alive and kicking.

Unlike you, I remained silent, fucker.

What are you talking about?

"What are you talking about"?

Will you deny you pointed out the hotel?

And you told them where we were? You fucking blabbermouth!

How should I know?

We were betrayed really hard, Ratas.

And you know it.

We were betrayed or you betrayed us, you bastard?

What's up, Pote?

Boss?

"Boss" my ass.

You've got three options, Pote.

First: finish what you went to do in Spain

and return with proof that you killed that bitch.

Second: do nothing, and we'll welcome you here.

Third: shelter all you can under your new mother goose's wings.

But beware, Pote, I've got a bullet here with your name on it.

Mexicana of mine, you've left everyone at the meeting astonished.

You're the smartest southerner on Earth.

You stunned Dr. Ramos. He just stayed there, doing the math.

And the best: Alberto confirmed all your data.

How do you do it?

I swear I've got no idea.

It's as if a little voice told me what to say.

Yeah, right. You and your Latin American mysteries...

What is this?

I came to see you and I learned you're an executive for whom

I must ask for a previous appointment.

Unless I want to wait in vain for hours.

Shall we have dinner tonight? Teo Aljarafe.

Thank you, Ms.

You're welcome. Take care.

A WEEK LATER

Listen to me and ask no questions, because I won't answer any.

A Colombian ship loaded with fifteen tons of cocaine hidden in barrels

will arrive tonight at the Estepona coast. At about 2:00 a.m.

Very well, Ramos. I'm going over there.

No, I'll meet you there.

The cargo just landed.

It's being unloaded.

Today's the big day.

May I join you?

I'm not sure that would be wise.

It might be dangerous.

Precisely.

I insist, I'd really like to go with you.

All right.

Shall we, Paty?

No, you two go. I've got things to do.

What? Will you miss our first great success?

Ah, Mexicana. We'll celebrate it eventually.

Well...

Let's go, Teo.

That woman has no idea what's coming for her.

Will you ever bring that drink, Xavi?

Easy, easy. This takes time.

Here.

You're just in time to toast, uncle.

Please join us.

What are you celebrating?

Today, La Mexicana will fall.

Have I never told you not to celebrate the eve?

All's said and done.

La Mexicana, her fifteen tons, and her oil barrels

will receive a surprise visit by the cops, the Civil Guard and whatnot.

I'm telling you, father. Our problems are over.

Within a few hours, La Mexicana will be history.

The Queen of the South

To the floor! To the floor!

Police!

Freeze!

Good job, good job!

Bring the dogs.

Let them check over there.

Who's in charge here?

Is it you? Come here.

ID, please.

Very well. Get over there and don't move.

Drill, Martín.

Drill!

Have a look at that one.

Don't let the dogs stop!

Try lower, it may have a false bottom.

Make the dogs go around there.

It's the same, Flores.

There's nothing, just oil.

You, put that ladder over there.

Martín, try with the one on top.

There's nothing, Flores.

I bring you a small present.

Flowers for a flower.

Thank you.

They're gorgeous. Colombian flowers.

Now show me how comfortably our cargo traveled.

Genius. Plain genius.

And still better news.

We've called Marseille, Istanbul and Athens.

They've received it flawlessly. No issues at all.

I'm just waiting for the Ukraine call.

Speaking of which...

Let's see.

No news.

It's there.

Congratulations, Teresa.

No one thought you'd pull together such a simple and yet so complex operation.

We did it, Ramos. We crowned.

We crowned.

Picture the faces of those who didn't believe in you.

The Italians must be eating their words.

Not to mention Siso Pernas.

You're amazing. What you did today was spectacular.

Do you think the Italians let the Galicians know about your first plan?

About the drug camouflaged in motor oil.

I don't think so, I know it for a fact.

That's why I didn't want to abort the other operation: to distract them.

The Galicians told the cops, and now they must have oil up to their throats.

Amazing.

Damn it, Pablo! It's just oil!

There's nothing! Just oil, Pablo!

Fuck La Mexicana.

She's done it again.

I thought Teresa would not bet all the cargo in just one trip.

I think you just lost this match to La Mexicana, my dear Flores.

Your wallet.

That's all.

Let's go!

I'm a serious man.

A sixty-five-year-old man!

Respected and admired.

Now, because of that woman, I'm nothing but a clown.

The Italians were right, she will steal the market away from us!

Fuck!

Unless we stop her by force.

Now I understand why you wanted someone like Dr. Ramos.

Someone who knew all the corruptible ports in the Mediterranean.

Not to blow my own horn.

But rest assured: there's nobody like me for this.

How did you manage to divide the cargo into so many different cities?

Look, Oleg. I trust you very much and think very highly of you

but I won't reveal my professional secrets to you.

And I thought you trusted me.

I think you should call your partners in Moscow and tell them to be ready

because the cargo will arrive in two days, by ground.

As you command, boss.

Well...

A toast to Transer Naga's first operation

and to its great strategist, Teresa, La Mexicana.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulations.

Amazing, amazing.

I'm sorry to be late.

But I was just told...

...that the Civil Guard...

...the Customs Police...

...even Anti-narcotics, all of them...

...They have all taken the bait and bought the drug traveled in barrels.

This deserves yet another toast.

Congratulations.

And take care. Remember that new success means new enemies.

Don't forget that.

A toast to my new enemies, then.

They will be plenty from now on.

- Cheers. - Na zdorovye.

Well, cheers!

Cheers.

The Queen of the South

You don't make your own decisions, Ramiro.

Your uncle was very specific: we must avoid problems.

Problems are what I'll make.

No woman will make a laughing stock out of me, all right?

What Pote did was betrayal and you know how it's paid!

Ratas! Stop it! I'm fed up with you!

This trip to Spain is the last thing you do without my permission, OK?

Are we clear?

Will you allow Pote to say whatever he feels like?

Shut up and listen to me!

El Pote is no more, you get me?

You disobey me again, and you’ll end up like your enemies: hanging from a bridge.

I'll forget who you are!

Did you hear me?

- All right. - All right.

This is a very dangerous operation.

This time, please let me do things my way, father.

All right.

I leave everything on your hands.

The only thing I want is for you to take care.

Let others take care. Right, cousin?

Nobody laughs at the Pernas.

There, hug me.

I'll be back and with great news, father.

I swear.

TRANSER NAGA GRAND OPENING TODAY

Paty, those two are really close. Too much, I'd say.

You see ghosts where there are none.

It's just friendship.

Are you sure?

As sure as I am of what you feel for La Mexicana.

How would you know?

Oh, I do know.

The spark in your eyes gives you away.

And her too.

The Queen of the South

Oh, thanks. I'm leaving, I'm exhausted.

Well. Don't worry about a thing, I'll take care of everything.

Thanks.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Leaving already?

Yes, I'm leaving. I'm exhausted.

- It was an intense day. - You can't complain.

Everything came out as expected.

And I owe you a great deal for that.

Well, I'm leaving.

Teresa.

Our first success together deserves a proper celebration, don't you think?

Yes, sure.

I thought me might...have dinner or have a drink or...

What do you think?

Yes, but not today. I'm too tired.

Come on!

It's just dinner.

Some place nice, have a few drinks.

Have a nice conversation. I promise we'll have a great time.

Well, I promise...you can take me wherever you want, tomorrow.

Not today.

Whatever I want? Are you sure?

Are you leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving. I'm too tired.

I've got some unfinished business with Nino.

I don't want you to be alone and Dima's not here.

- Vladimir will join you. - Good.

Thanks. Rest. Let's go, Vladimir.

Goodbye.

- Ma'am. - Stay Away!

Pote?

Hmm...Yes.

I'm Potemkin Galvez, ma'am.

One more step and I shoot.

Easy.

It's all right.

What do you want, Pote?

Well...

It's urgent that I speak with you.

And I'd like it to be right now.

Spit it.

I come to thank you for sparing my life.

In spite of what I did to you.

Well...In spite of what I was about to do to you, in any case.

- Is that it? - No.

And I also come to tell you that Potemkin Galvez owes you something.

And he intends to pay you.

How do you intend to pay me?

Well...in fact, I already did. In part.

I spoke to the guys in Mexico, the ones that sent me here.

- Oh, did you? - Yes.

What did they say to you?

They didn't see with good eyes that El Gato had died here

while I was still alive.

They explained very clearly the paths that I must follow.

They are three.

Either I finish the job I was sent here for,

or take a plane directly to Culiacán and face the consequences.

I don't like the third one at all, but it's the one I like best.

Well...

Here I am.

How so?

Well...that's the third one, ma'am.

Here I am.

What will you have me do?

That's no longer in my hands, ma'am, but yours.

Are you asking me for a job, Pote?

Well...well...

Will you have me feed you after you tried to kill me?

Why don't you better go fuck yourself?

It's done.

Very well.

You know where to hide.

Get out of here.

Bring us two martinis.

Ma'am.

- I said no, Pote. - But...

Ma'am.

The Queen of the South

- Are you all right? - Yes.

What happened?

Well...

Vladimir?

Where's Vladimir? Let me go!

Stop, ma'am. Don't go there.

Come here.

Vladimir!

He died during the blast, ma'am.

- What happened? - There's nothing to be done.

Oh, my God. What is this?

Teresa!

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

Call an ambulance! Quick!

Are you all right?

I was... I was coming here with Vladimir...

We were about to get in the car. I don't know what happened, it exploded.

Another death because of me.

Water.

Water, for the moment.

Hey... Lots of lemon.

Thank you.

I don't know what happened.

Vladimir and I came walking. We were about to get in the car.

And it exploded.

Pote...Pote fell on me.

No, no...

This will soon be crammed with cops. It's not convenient we stay here.

- At least, not all of us, all right? - Yes, he's right. We better leave.

Hold on!

Dima! Simón!

I'll stay here, you'll need my help.

No, no. I'm leaving.

I'm glad you're all right, Teresa. See you tomorrow.

Come one, come on! Speak!

No, Oleg! You're wrong! He's got nothing to do!

Well, I think he does.

- No. - He will personally explain who it was.

Don't!

- He saved my life! - I will interrogate the Mexican.

Teo, stay with her at all times.

Let a doctor see her.

The damned bomb should have gone off some time ago, now.

And they haven't said anything yet.

Maybe it was the government. You know they cover and censor everything.

What are you saying, Xavi? Everyone must have heard that explosion.

We feature this breaking broadcast

to bring news of a car bomb explosion in the city of Marbella.

As we speak, the reporters are arriving at the scene.

Stay with us and we'll keep you updated on this alleged terrorist attack.

Calm down, Teresa. As your lawyer, I'll take care of everything.

I'll do it myself, if you don't mind, Eddie.

This is a very delicate matter.

And you're a foreigner.

I have many contacts, in case we need them.

Thank you, Eddie.

Thank you very much for everything.

I'll be OK.

Very well.

I hope you do damned well.

Thanks for assuming this responsibility, Teo.

Don't worry. I'll make him understand.

Listen to me: don't talk to the police unless I tell you to. All right?

- All right. - And calm down.

Everything will be just fine.

I'm with you, OK?

SCENES FROM THE NEXT EPISODE

Fuck!

You've said nothing to prove your innocence yet!

I am sure that I saw them.

I saw the two men who set the bomb.

If we receive another attack against me or against one of ours,

we'll answer the same way, but multiplied and where it hurts the most.

I will personally take care of what is coming.

And if blood has to rain from the sky, we will open our umbrellas.
