A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

Mr. Alcala, I've been following you since the rally.

I'm your next campaign manager.

We have a lot to discuss, Mr. Candidate.

What is it, sweetheart?

Are you packing? Are you trying to kill me?

If I wanted to kill you, I would've done it a while ago,

but I'm not a murderer like you and your henchman.

What are you saying? What henchman?

The motherfucker they're making president instead of you.

Alejandro is going to be the next candidate?

I know you don't like him,

but that's no reason to turn me against him.

That just confirms what I already know.

You have no idea what's going on.

I just spoke to a guy.

I'm going to escape.

Do you trust these guys? They're snakes in the grass.

I got no choice, Lencho.

It's happening during the transfer from the hospital to prison.

It'll be more believable that way.

The military would rather look like idiots than accomplices.

How will it go down?

I'll tell you.

Let's shop here.

No.

You can shop here when you're older.

It's not for me. Let's go.

Pepe, this girl is driving me crazy, I swear.

We'll buy you flowers, high heels...

Are you crazy?

All you do is dress in black.

That's fine.

There. Here you go.

The time has come, sweetie.

I swore to you

that I'd bury Mr. Epifanio Vargas alive,

next to his son, Ratas, and I'm going to do it.

Just look at you.

In Tuscany, Italy

Where Teresa is hiding

Her daughter was kidnapped

To make her come back

To her beloved Mexico

Watch out, I'm coming back

During that rescue

New things came to light

A full house

In Teresa's claws

She will rampage for revenge

The Queen of the South Has come back

MALAGA, SPAIN

My goodness! Took you long enough!

Where did you go shopping? Seville?

Grandmother bought me a lot of dresses.

She also got some very pretty ones for herself.

She needs them. Ever since the gypsies broke in...

Charo, shut up.

Charo, what gypsies?

Some people who broke into the house...

Charo, shut up!

And, you, stop asking so many questions and come with me.

A red dress?

What did you want to tell me, Triana?

I know how we're going to make that Aljarafe hag pay

for my Juanito's death.

Forget about that woman.

She has a granddaughter we didn't know about, Drago.

A ten-year-old girl.

Triana, forget it, damn it.

Forget what?

Don't ask me for something I can't give you.

I saw her today walking through the plaza with her granddaughter.

They looked so happy! That old bitch!

Meanwhile, my stomach turned as I thought of my boy,

lying on the floor with his head cracked open.

You have to move on. Your son is dead.

We barely escaped with our lives because of that South American.

Nothing is impossible.

Besides, that Mexican is gone.

She went missing a long time ago, along with my son's murderers.

That's why his soul can't rest.

It's wandering, restless, seeking justice.

And I'm going to give it to him if it costs me my life.

The little girl has to pay for the other granddaughter's crime.

It's only fair...

and you know it.

An eye for an eye,

so my son's soul can rest in peace.

Your cheeks look rosy again.

When are you coming back from vacation?

-I'm already back. -Son of a bitch!

Don't scare me, man!

Why did you help me?

What happened to the others?

Well, Zurdo Villa wasn't killed.

The military did capture him, though.

Then, his buddy Sanchez Godoy tried to help him,

but they caught him too.

And guess who his cell mate is.

Your boy Anton.

They caught him that same day at the hotel.

What about Tesa? Is she with Sofia?

No. Things went worse for Teresa.

She was on her way to rescue her daughter,

but she was set up and they didn't return her.

She did the impossible to find the girl,

and when she finally did,

they blew up the plane the girl was in.

That's what Sheila said anyway. I wasn't there.

I need to talk to Tesa.

Now!

Calm down, Russkie.

Don't yell at me. You're in my house.

I make the rules here.

I'm going to show you something first,

so you'll know why I rescued you.

This is proof of all of Mr. Epifanio Vargas' shady dealings

from when he was nobody until he became a senator.

Pictures with traffickers, all his figureheads,

bank accounts, how he laundered his money...

This is enough evidence to put him in prison

for the rest of his life.

I thought you were Epifanio Vargas' right-hand man.

Yeah.

You said it. I was.

He thinks I still am,

but I stopped being his right-hand man

the day he killed my family.

Remember Ratas, the blondie?

Perfectly.

He came to Spain years ago with two men to kill Tesa.

We captured them, but he escaped.

As far as we knew, the order to kill her came from you.

Well, yeah.

I did his dirty work

so he could have his picture taken for the papers,

but Epifanio Vargas was the one who really called the shots.

No one so much as sneezed without him finding out.

That's why it's a total lie

that Ratas acted on his own when he killed my family.

They wanted me to believe that.

The person who killed my wife and two sons

is named Epifanio Vargas.

How do I know that what you're telling me is true?

Why do you still work for him?

It's easy, Ruski.

You have to keep your enemies close

so you can know what they're up to.

It's like the saying goes, "Sit near the river,

and you'll see your enemy's body float by."

Tornado.

Hey, Silver!

Silver, come here.

Here you go, buddy.

Have some, buddy.

That's it.

That's it, buddy.

I always thought you'd have better horses than these.

What's up, Teresita Mendoza?

Let's get to the point.

What do you want to tell me about Alejandro?

And don't give me any crap because I've got men outside...

Shut your mouth and listen.

Yeah? Why should I?

Because it's in your best interest.

Because it's the only way to save your life.

Son of a bitch.

What are you doing here?

Don't tell me you teamed up with Teresita to screw me.

Shut up or we're leaving and you're screwed.

It's your call. And I'm warning you.

I'm not here to save you,

much less forgive you for all the shit you've done to me.

In fact, it took a lot to convince myself to be here.

Again with that shit.

So what now?

Why would you save my life if I've made yours hell?

There's nothing more pathetic than a chicken who thinks it's an eagle.

That's the problem. They're getting you out of the way

and it'll be me getting screwed.

Because you're the little chicken

and your brother-in-law is the eagle who wants to rip my head off.

He's got some powerful allies too.

Where'd you get this idea about Alejandro becoming president?

I'm not giving up my candidacy.

You're a dead man walking, Epifanio.

The order has been given to eliminate you.

And it's going to be a public execution.

Alejandro?

But he's my friend. He's my brother-in-law, my bro...

He's like a son to me.

A son of a bitch, just like the late Ratas.

-No, Ale would never... -Kill you.

-You don't know him well. -And you do?

Yes, I do. I know him very well.

All right, all right. Don't overdo it.

Alejandro hired you.

He hired you to kidnap Teresita's daughter.

You're nothing but a mercenary.

That's what you think,

but the story began way before Italy.

Alejandro Alcala works for the DEA, just like Lupo.

In fact, Alejandro is my boss on this mission.

What mission?

Finding Teresa in Italy, kidnapping Sofia,

getting you out of prison, making you a candidate,

and then eliminating you.

Washington planned all of this.

Washington?

Why is it so hard for you to believe?

The same thing happened with Güero Davila.

Wasn't he a DEA operative who infiltrated your cartel?

Same thing's happening with Alejandro Alcala,

except that now things are a little more sophisticated.

You're nothing but a pawn.

You don't make any decisions in this game.

-It's all been imposed on you. -That's where you're wrong.

If you're trying to scare me, try something else.

I don't believe in conspiracies.

All that crap about mankind never landing on the moon

and the FBI killing Kennedy... I wipe my ass with that.

Want proof? I'll give it to you.

Whose idea was it to find me in Italy?

-Mine! -You sure?

Are you sure? Think about it.

You might be remembering things that aren't true.

Our memories are tricky. They can deceive us.

That goddamn Mariano Bravo is beating us by 30 points.

Unless something major happens, I think we're done for.

No way. Relax.

Mariano Bravo is only up in the polls

because Zurdo Villa is giving him money.

We have to take that bastard down

so that Zurdo won't give him money anymore.

Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen.

Epifanio, you once mentioned something about Teresa Mendoza.

Yeah, maybe. I don't remember. What'd I say?

You said she was a very skillful woman.

I looked into it, and with such an impressive resume,

I think she could be very helpful in resolving the Mariano Bravo issue.

Helpful?

This guy!

No, Alejandro.

That bitch will put a bullet in my head before she ever helps me.

No one said we'd ask nicely.

-Oh, yeah? -She left eight years ago.

She was pregnant. She must have a child by now

and children are their parents' weakness.

Yeah, but where will we find her?

That bitch could be in the North Pole.

Or the South Pole.

I also started looking into another name you mentioned.

You said something about Cayetana Aljarafe. Sound familiar?

Cayetana Aljarafe...

Oh, of course! The dead Spaniard's mother.

Ever since Teresa killed her son,

she's spent a fortune on private investigators

to find out where Teresa is.

She might have information.

Think we should call her?

No, it was Cayetana.

Cayetana hired a detective to find you.

No! Everything was part of a plan. Can't you see?

No! She hired a detective. His name was...

Emilio.

-How do you know? -Because I'm Emilio.

None of the private detectives could find her in Tuscany.

Who were the only people who knew where I was hiding?

The DEA. In other words, us.

Alejandro gave me Teresa's address

so I could give it to Cayetana.

And since all Cayetana wants is revenge,

she gave my address to all my enemies.

That's why you were never going to suspect Alejandro Alcala.

That was just the lure, the hook for you to take the bait,

and boy did you take it.

Where's the inmate?

You let him escape?

Sir, he didn't come out this way, I swear!

So? He vanished?

Notify all units and checkpoints,

we have a fugitive.

Put me through to the president.

-Who got you out of prison? -Alejandro.

He had some fancy lawyers

those with international contacts.

They convinced the American judge to pardon me

for everything you threw me under the bus for.

You really still believe that crap?

The DEA doesn't leave any loose ends.

Everything was planned by the new American government.

They were the ones who told Alejandro Alcala

to approach you in prison.

Know what the order was? For him to be your lifesaver.

They told him to enter your inner circle,

become your friend, and even introduce you to his sister.

No, that's where you're wrong!

Bebita came to see me because she's a reporter.

Who did you meet first? Beba or Alejandro?

You're talking about my wife here!

Plus, there's something else that doesn't make sense.

Why would they go through the hassle

of pulling me out of jail to make me president?

A powerful government is intervening

in another country's elections.

Next, they make you president,

and they've got an employee at their service.

An employee whose secrets they're well aware of,

including their body count. Get it yet?

That's what my brother-in-law was going to do?

No, he's another puppet.

The real puppet master is the US government,

who will now have a Mexican president by the balls,

working for them in secret.

The Russians have done it, the Americans have done it,

and who knows how many others?

That's just what we know. Just imagine what we don't.

Son of a fucking bitch.

I'm surrounded by traitors, aren't I?

The Americans are great at that,

at putting traitors and moles everywhere.

They're great actors too.

They must come from Hollywood because we all believe them.

They're great at playing dumb and they're the perfect traitors.

Those bastards are the ones who trained Alejandro Alcala

to weasel his way into your life

and now he's even your brother-in-law.

You have nothing to thank me for.

I sure do!

If it weren't for you, I'd be in jail or dead.

Cheers, brother-in-law.

No one's ever done for me what you have.

Tell me the truth.

Everything you did and all the trouble you went through

to get me out of jail... no one does that for free.

Tell me the truth, man. We're going to be family soon.

Who were you whispering to?

I just received the campaign donation I told you about.

But I...

-Who's it from? -I'll tell you later. Look who's here.

Of course!

The money was coming from the US. How did I not realize it?

I'm such an idiot!

He's the one who convinced me to bring you back to Mexico

so you could infiltrate Zurdo Villa.

He said we had to kidnap your daughter in order to do that.

Did you know that he gave the order to kill my daughter?

What?

They killed your daughter, Teresita?

-I didn't know. -He gave the order to me...

-and to another DEA agent. -Some chick called Manuela.

Remember the last time I called to insult you?

It was because of that.

She gave us an order to blow up the plane with them inside.

Teresa saved herself at the last moment.

I didn't...

No, go ahead and ask this bastard.

He knows my daughter is dead.

I never gave that order. On the contrary.

I told them to take good care of her.

Just ask Lupo.

Look, you don't understand. You're just a puppet.

Puppets don't give orders.

It was never the DEA's intention to return my daughter alive.

Teresita, believe me. I don't kill kids.

I didn't put a hit on your daughter,

especially not after what you did for me.

You kept your word.

I don't kill kids! I swear!

Of course!

That's why Alejandro didn't want me to talk to you.

You know what, though?

That son of a bitch is going to get what's coming to him.

I'm going to rip that motherfucker's head off!

WASHINGTON DC, USA

Hey.

Sit down. Come here.

What do you want to drink?

A beer.

-A beer? -Yes.

Give me a break. What do you want to drink?

-Tequila. -That sounds better.

Yeah...

So tell me, what'd you do today?

Nothing. I went for a walk

around the National Mall, like you said.

Then I went to the Washington Monument

and walked to the White House...

-What else? -Just sightseeing.

-Did you like it? -Yes.

This is a different world.

-It's... different. -What's wrong?

The way you look at me makes me nervous.

The way you ask me things...

Really?

-Yeah. -Sorry,

but I get really intense when I like something.

I know what your problem is.

-You have a boyfriend, don't you? -Yeah.

We've been together for three years.

Well, you're in luck...

because I'm not the jealous type.

You're Mexican.

You went to college in the US and the DEA recruited you.

You don't have any family members you really care about.

-You're 38 years old... -Thirty-nine.

What are you getting at?

It's like I'm looking at myself in a mirror.

Up until a few days ago I was in your place.

I was in your position. I was the analyst.

I planned...

Now you're going to be the candidate

and the next president of Mexico.

Mariano Bravo is done for.

Zurdo Villa confessed thanks to you.

Thanks to me.

This is unbelievable.

And that's not even the best part.

With your brother-in-law dead,

and your pregnant sister asking for justice,

I'm sure people will vote for you in droves.

You'll make history.

You'll be the most-voted-for president in history.

No, I don't know if I'm ready for the position

that the father I got stuck with always wanted for me.

Those are the orders and they're irreversible.

You will be Mexico's next president.

Look, Alejandro, there's another issue we have to deal with.

What is it?

When we present you as a candidate,

we need there to be a first lady.

How do they expect me to find a first lady in less than a week?

Your ex wife is perfect.

I suggest you call her right now.

Stop it. Shut up!

Things ended terribly with that woman.

Sheldon's orders were very clear.

You have to understand that this country is very conservative.

If they see you alone, they'll start snooping

and that's no good for you or the mission.

Got that?

Marina never remarried or had kids.

You're already investigating her. What for?

Don't be so naive, Alejandro. We've all been investigated.

If you don't find a first lady

within the month, it has to be her. Understood?

Why'd you jump off the DEA's payroll and betray them?

Plans changed.

You've killed a lot of innocent people with the gringos.

Don't act innocent now.

I fell in love with Teresa.

-Give me a break. -Michele, please.

Michele.

Damn, you got that out of him?

-You're full of surprises. -Now we're partners, that's all.

-You're right, Epifanio. I've killed a lot of people...

at war, on special missions.

but while taking care of the child, I got to know the mother.

Only an extraordinary woman could raise Sofia that way.

It's too bad I forgot my violin to play for you.

So you betrayed everyone for a chick?

I fell in love.

That's why everything changed when they ordered me

to kill Teresa and Sofia.

When I refused, they sent Manuela.

-And where is that bitch? -Dead.

Like everyone else who messes with me and my people.

The same will happen to your brother-in-law. I'm warning you.

He messed with the most precious thing I have

and he's going to pay.

Well then.

If all this is true, then what matters most is...

when and where are they planning to assassinate me?

I didn't get the time and date or any other details.

That's the least of it.

It must be soon because elections are around the corner.

Your brother-in-law must be working on it right now.

If I were you, I'd check all his things.

-His phone, his secrets... -Epifanio?

If not, ask your wife.

Or are you sure she didn't know anything?

That's why I'm fighting for a modern Mexico,

a better Mexico, with more equality for everyone,

where the rich and the poor have the same opportunities.

What's going on, honey? What are you doing here this late?

Nothing, honey. I'm...

I'm just practicing my speech.

We're in Culiacan and I want things to go well.

Yes, but why here? You could've done that in the house.

Your office is there.

Yeah, but I was smoking

and I didn't want to bother you with my yelling.

I came here to practice.

You're acting strange.

No.

I wanted to ask you something, sweetie.

-Yes? -Tell me something.

Have you spoken to your brother since you got here?

No, I haven't.

He hasn't spoken to me much lately.

I guess he's killing the messenger and is really angry with me.

Yeah, kill the messenger. I remember.

What? Do I look like a messenger?

What are you talking about?

Bebita...

can I trust you?

Yes, of course.

-Would you tell me the truth? -Of course.

I need to know if I can trust you,

if you'll tell me everything, no matter how minute.

Sweetie, you're scaring me.

Your hands are cold. Let's go inside.

Sweetie.

Epifanio!

Epifanio!

Epifanio!

What are you doing? What's going on?

I need to talk to your brother and he won't answer.

I thought he was going to his hotel.

What's wrong, honey?

I'll go and look for him.

If I don't come back,

he can explain.

Listen...

That's enough.

I'm too drunk. I'm going to the hotel.

-Hey, hey, hey. -I'm drunk.

Calm down. You're not going anywhere.

You're going to finish two more shots with me

and then you can go.

I won't take advantage of you, OK?

Two shots? Look at me!

I'm done. You're crazy!

Yeah, I am. Crazy about you.

It's a shame you have a boyfriend.

Why didn't he come with you?

He's in Mexico. He said to wait for him because he was coming.

It doesn't matter. He doesn't like these places.

He's very preoccupied with keeping up appearances

and what people think.

He's cautious. Is he famous or something?

Something like that.

May I know your famous boyfriend's name?

Alejandro.

-Alejandro. -His name is Alejandro.

OK, well.

-Let's toast to Alejandro. -No, no.

-Hey, no! -Enough!

-I can't drink more. -Let's toast to Alejandro...

and to us.

Cheers.

I can't.

What do you mean? Come here.

We're having a great time.

We're...

I love him and he loves me too, I suppose.

But you know what? Alejandro is a very strange man.

He's very secretive and mysterious.

You know. It's weird. He's weird.

Honestly, it sounds like...

he's seeing someone else.

Son of a...

He sure is! He's in love with his job.

He's obsessive compulsive about work.

-So? -Nothing.

-Where's he now? -Mexico.

He told me to wait for him.

He comes back tomorrow.

Enough about my boyfriend already.

Tell me about yourself, about me, us or...

-anything. -You're right.

I have an idea.

Oh, yeah? What?

Hey, calm down.

Sorry, sorry. No...

Look at me.

I want to kidnap you.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

Where are you taking me?

-To heaven. -Heaven?

Why does Teresa have us waiting here

without any news about that mysterious mission

she went on with the guys.

Must be a reason she's not telling us.

It must be a security issue.

The less we know the better.

-Teresa always looks before she leaps. -Where the hell is she?

Not a single phone call since she went to Washington.

Let's all calm down, OK?

You're the one who won't stop.

Would you mind sitting still? You're driving me nuts.

Teresa...

What are you doing with this guy? I thought...

Before you say anything

or ask me to explain why I'm with him,

I need to tell you something very important.

-My daughter isn't dead. -What?

I lied to you.

What? Why?

That wasn't right.

Not one bit.

Do you know how much we've cried for your daughter?

A little consideration, please. We're human too.

You don't know how sorry I am.

But I had no choice, It was my daughter's life

and I couldn't risk it again.

I really am very sorry.

She's safe now,

and she's with her grandmother Cayetana.

How is Sofia? You know my grandmother.

-You spoke to my grandmother? -Yes.

And we argued as usual, but what matters...

is that she's OK. She has someone to take care of her

and she's far away from all this,

even if the person she's with

-hates me to death. -You're very smart, Teresa.

There's no one in Spain who can hurt her.

And even though her grandmother is a witch,

she'll never hurt her own granddaughter.

This can't leave this room.

Please, it's very important.

Rocio, do not tell Sanchez Godoy.

I don't know if he still talks to Zurdo.

OK.

Where is Ray? Wasn't he with you?

He stayed with Jonathan. They're working on something special.

I think they'll be back by morning.

OK.

Teresa, it's Batman.

He wants to speak to you.

He might have news about Epifanio.

What's up, Batman? What do you need?

We'll be here.

I never thought I'd be planning this attack.

Don't worry.

No one will know where in the crowd the shot came from.

Epifanio, what are you doing here?

You said you wanted to rest with my sister.

Come in. We were just talking about the campaign.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

That fucking bitch betrayed me twice,

but she's getting hers three times over.

Come in. Hi, darling.

Let's get down to business.

Cut the crap. I don't have time for this.

Not even for an old friend?
