Siso Pernas.

PREVIOUSLY...

Tell me where you are
or I kill Pedrito.

Don't tell him!
I'm dead anyway!

- Siso.
- Bye, handsome.

Is Oleg Yasikov in?

Tell him Teresa Mendoza
is looking for him.



You activated the bomb
when you sat down, so don't move.

How long before the bomb
goes off?

Which cable do I have to cut, dammit?

Who told Veronica Cortes' sister
I was back in Mexico?

- How do you know about her?
- That bitch tried to kill me.

Manuela works for the DEA.

Maybe she figured it out.
We didn't tell her anything!

You're a fucking traitor.
Go straight to hell.

Mr. Pernas,
any news on the Mexican?

She must be getting ready
to return to Spain.

I know where to find her.

Please let me know
when the job's done,

so I can host a mass to grant eternal
rest to my son's soul.

We've identified
your son's body, Cayetana.



I want to see it.

I don't recommend that.
It was in the ocean a long time.

I want to see it.

Mrs. Aljarafe.

You haven't been here
in a long time.

I'm sorry, but we still don't know
the Mexican's whereabouts.

I wasn't going to ask, but rather,
inform you as to where she is.

Hi, I can't take your call
right now.

Leave a message.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Baby,

we have to return to Washington
sooner than expected.

I'll see you in my apartment,
my succulent brunette.

After that, we'll go to dinner
like we planned.

Remember to show up dressed
like I asked, all right?

Bye, baby.

What's up?

Hasn't she answered?
Hasn't said anything?

Nothing.

She's obviously on her way back.

Why the hell did she lie to us?

- Us?
- Yeah!

"Us" sounds like a crowd.

She lied to you,
and I'd warned you.

What are you going to do
with Manuela?

You'll find out
when we get there.

Your breakfast.

I'm not hungry.

I want to talk to my mom.

You can't talk to your mom
if you don't eat.

First I talk to my mom,
then I eat breakfast.

I'm not like Morgana.

I'm not scared of the dead.

Eat.
Eat!

If I tell you to eat,
you have to eat.

You can kiss the sunlight goodbye
if you don't eat.

You can't hurt me.
I know it.

I heard your boss saying
that if you fucked with me,

my mother
would make you all pay.

You're just an employee
that has to follow that man's orders,

isn't that right?

Don't provoke me, kid.

Because then you'll see
the worst side of me.

Okay, Batman.

Make sure you're careful,

and when you know more about that,
give me a call.

You got it.
Goodbye, sir.

Your interview with Lancaster
is in a few hours.

Have you read the talking points
I wrote for you?

No, I had no time.

Epifanio,
everybody watches that program.

That woman will try to hit you hard.

Don't worry.

I know how to handle that broad.

I'm not going to answer squat.

I'm going to speak
straight into the camera

because the people
are able to make the distinction

between a snobby lesbian

and an honest man
who tells it like it is.

That's exactly why
I brought you this.

These are last week's poll numbers,
and as you can tell,

Bravo went up two points,
while we're treading water.

If Marietta manages
to back you into a corner,

we could lose, Epifanio.

Nah, there's nothing to worry about.
Right about now,

Teresa Mendoza ought to be
on her way to Europe.

She's looking for her buddies.

Zurdo Villa
and that candidate Bravo

will be history
before you know it.

It's fate, son.

Epifanio Vargas
shall be president of this great nation.

I didn't eat.

What are you going to do to me now?

What did your boss tell you
to do to me?

To beat me to death?

No.

But he did send me
a video of your mother,

and you're not going to see it
until you eat your breakfast.

Call me afterward.

Lupo, wait.
Lupo!

I swear I'll eat everything,
just let me see my mother first.

I swear I'll eat everything.
Please.

Okay, I'm going to believe you.

Sofia, sweetie.

If you're feeling alone,
or if you're scared,

remember everything I told you.

You... know much more
than other kids your age.

And...

And if...

If you have to defend yourself
from someone,

from anyone,
give it all you've got.

You fight tooth and nail.

You know how to gain others' respect.

And if they...

tell you bad things about me,

don't believe any of that crap.

They're only doing it...

to scare you and make you cry.

My life is meaningless
without you.

Honey, I'm doing a job
for these bastards

that are keeping you locked up.

But the moment I finish that task,
we'll see each other again,

and it'll be forever.
We'll never be apart again.

I'll take you to that carnival
in Venice you like so much.

I swear.

Isn't that what you wanted to do
for your birthday?

There you go.

Darling, never forget
how much I love you.

Never forget that.

I love you, Mom.

Dry your tears.

We're going to reply to your mother,

and you're going to say
that you're fine.

Don't be sad, Mom.

I'm fine, and do you know why?

Because I'm a Dantes like you.

Our last names are synonymous
with courageous women.

I love you very much,

and everything you've taught me
is up here...

forever.

I love you, Mom,
and I'll be waiting for you

so you can cut off the heads
of all my kidnappers.

I love you, Mom.
I miss you.

Now eat.

Epifanio Vargas,

presidential nominee
of the Republic of Mexico

and the last candidate
to agree to be on our show.

The other candidates must have
time on their hands

if they're coming on television.

Not me.

I'm traveling the country
and listening to the people.

That's my priority,
not coming on shows like this.

I mean,
with all due respect.

This interview
was a long time coming, sir.

The first time I invited you

was when you were a senator
from Sinaloa.

- Yes.
- Sinaloa,

a state overrun by drug trafficking,

which increased exponentially
in your state

precisely during your term.

No, the president at that time
was responsible for that problem.

He stupidly declared war on them

and all he managed to do
was kick the hornet's nest.

Well, those hornets got loose
and started stinging everyone.

Sinaloa was one of the states
most affected by those stings.

Do your research, lady.

Yes, we've got information to spare.
Just look.

There are public documents

that connect you
to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Nothing but pure gossip
from my political enemies.

So then the years you spent
in Altiplano Prison

after being accused of drug
trafficking and money laundering

is gossip?

I was acquitted of all charges.
Must be for a reason.

There are investigative reports
in which your freedom

is attributed to the bribery
of members of the judiciary.

- So?
- Any comments on that?

You tell me.

You're the one
who won't stop harping on that.

I've seen your Twitter feed.

I know what you think of me,

but you're not telling
the whole truth.

You are not telling people
that I was jailed

because those fucking gringos
pushed for it.

What?
You can't say "fucking"?

- It doesn't matter.
- Of course not.

I already said it.
Besides, I speak like the common folk.

But the facts
are that the DEA has proof.

The DEA has always meddled
where it doesn't concern them.

I know I stepped on some toes,

but I put up with it
and kept putting up with it

until I was exonerated,

regardless of who it upset
or offended.

What kind of questions are these?

You agreed to be on the program,
with all that implies.

I was told
there'd be no attacks.

No unfounded attacks.

Marietta's only brought up
matters of public record.

...the president of the poor,
the needy and the forgotten.

Why don't you ask about that?

About how I'm going to help
the less fortunate?

Of course, but first I'd like to ask

what you have to say to the country
regarding Teresa Mendoza.

MADRID, SPAIN

That woman is a criminal!

Half the globe is after her.

Know why they can't find her?

Because she's under
the DEA's protection.

The DEA hired Teresita Mendoza
to screw me.

Teresa Mendoza accused you
of being the leader

of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Here we go again.

Where's the proof, huh?
I want to see it.

It's right here.

- Hi.
- Hi, good morning.

- I need a ticket to Malaga.
- To Malaga?

- The next flight out, please.
- The next one.

- How much is it?
- It'll be 200 euros.

I'll also need your passport,
please.

- Here you are.
- Give me one moment.

Have a nice trip, ma'am.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Sons of bitches!

It says here that you own...

Just one
of your properties

is valued
at over 300 million pesos.

I'm sorry, sir,

but no former Mexican senator
could have made enough

to pay for a property like that.

Look, dear, all I can say

is that I've made
my declaration of assets,

which I did, by the way,
before any of my opponents.

And it states there
that whatever it is that I have

I owe to my businesses
and my work.

It's not cheap
to start an airline, right?

You're telling me!

I busted my hump day and night
to own my first little plane.

But sure...

since I'm a country boy in boots,
right?

Since I come from the country side,

everyone's out to get me.

They don't like that.

Sir, this has nothing to do
with your footwear.

These are legitimate doubts.

No way.

This woman brought me here
to fuck with me,

because you weren't like this
with the other candidates.

You're nice and calm with them,

but it's okay to fuck with me,
right?

It's okay to discredit me
because I'm poor,

but you listen to me.

I'm a man of the people, and the
people and me are legitimate!

The people have dignity, sir.

And they have the right
to get answers to the questions

the citizens are asking...

What questions are you asking?

...because you are
a potential public servant.

No, you just want to fuck with me.

I'm leaving.
Good night.

Let me take this shit off.
Who the fuck put this on me?

Mr. Epifanio Vargas,

presidential nominee of Mexico,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

Shit!

Hey, are you stupid or what?

The Mexican is here.

- Hi, are you free?
- Of course.

Fucking crosswalks!

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

You can't storm out
of interviews like that,

especially not when you're
with Marietta Lancaster.

She's not just any journalist.

She's the most respected,
gets the biggest ratings,

and has the respect
of politicians.

Didn't you hear all the shit
she was asking me, Alejandro?

Plus, my phone kept buzzing
and I couldn't concentrate.

See?
It's buzzing again.

Hello?

What are you talking about?
She gave you the slip?

I'm warning you, fucker.

If you don't find
Teresita Mendoza,

don't bother coming back

because I'll cut your balls off,
understood?

You have someone following
Teresa Mendoza and you didn't tell me.

What's going on, Epifanio?
Why are you not telling me these things?

Look, Alejandro, if we don't keep an eye
on Teresita Mendoza

and something happens to her,
we're all screwed.

Call Lupo.

He can deal
with these sorts of things.

Call him.

Lupo, something's come up.

WASHINGTON D.C., USA

Oh!

It's dimly lit.

I love it.

Hi, sweetie.

Look.

I'm not wearing underwear,
just like you asked.

Are you sure you can wait
till we get to the restaurant?

I don't think so.

You lied to me.

What?

You went to Mexico.

We know everything.

What are you doing here, boss?

I didn't want to humiliate you
in front of everyone.

You're out of the DEA, Manuela.

MARBELLA, SPAIN

First time in Malaga?

I lived here many years ago.

I never thought I'd come back.

What accent is that?
It's not from around here.

I'm Mexican.

Some called me filthy South American
when I lived here.

Rude, racist people are everywhere.
I wouldn't worry about it.

I remember in my youth

that there was a famous Mexican
here in Malaga,

but they'd never call her that
because she inspired fear.

The press called her
the Queen of the South.

Sound familiar?

No, never heard of her.

Just between you and me,

my cousin piloted a boat
that brought her hashish from Morocco.

- What's your cousin's name?
- Manolo.

Manolo.

Whatever happened to him?

He was killed by Arabs.

Those that deal with hashish say

that nothing was ever the same
after that Mexican left.

They said she had
quite the pair on her.

When the Civil Guard
were about to nab her,

she disappeared
and was never heard from again.

Maybe one day that Mexican will
have a good reason to come back.

I'd love to meet
your fellow countrywoman.

The infamous Queen of the South.

What's your name?

Jesus.
Pleasure to meet you.

I'd like to stop someplace else

before you take me to the club.

Of course. You're in charge.
Your wish is my command.

Why do I have to leave the DEA?
I don't understand.

This old dog
wasn't born yesterday.

I hate going on and on
about the same fucking lie.

What lie? I don't...

Jonathan, say something.
You know I...

All I know
is that you lied to me.

Tell me to my face
and in front of the boss.

Are you saying all this
wasn't part of your plan?

- What are you talking about?
- You jeopardized the mission.

Look.

A transmitter that we often use
on missions.

Can you tell me
what I'm being accused of?

I don't fucking know how,
but you found out

we were going to Mexico
and came to see me.

You planted that transmitter on me,
on my fucking shirt.

You used me.

You used me to find Teresa.

In fact, you called me
from a fucking gym in Mexico

to make me believe you were here
in Washington.

How the hell did you find out
Teresa had returned?

If you had the fucking balls
to confront Teresa,

have the same balls
to be honest with me.

Willy, you both know me.
I'm not a traitor.

- You intended to kill her.
- What? No.

You calculated that by the time
we found that body,

it'd be too late to know it was you.

But something went wrong.

Look at your fucking neck.

What I don't understand
is why Teresa took pity on you.

Well, I won't take pity
on her next time.

- Goddamn it, Manuela!
- What?

Wouldn't you do the same?

Wouldn't you do the same
if Teresa had killed your sister?

If you found out she was back

and that your own partners
were protecting her?

- Did he tell you?
- No! Give me a break!

- Did he say something?
- Are you suspecting me?

- Are you suspecting me?
- He didn't say anything.

You know what?

Tell Willy
that you went through my phone

and that's how you found out
about Teresa.

All the rage I'd kept inside me
for years suddenly came out,

and I saw my sister Veronica
in that coffin again,

when her body was repatriated.

You were there, Willy.

You saw my mother and nephew.

Anything resembling my family
ended that day.

Hate ruined my life.

I was never the same
after seeing my sister dead.

We cops can't allow ourselves to hate.

We go by the rules,
and you broke rule number one:

don't fuck another agent.

- It's not like that.
- She was fucking you

to get information out of you,
you fucking rookie.

Manuela, I want you long gone,
and keep your mouth shut.

If I find out you're revealing
information about Teresa,

I'll make it my mission
to ensure she kills you herself.

You're kicking me to the streets,
I have no savings.

You should have thought of that before.

What is it?

Yeah.
I'm on my way.

What's the range
on that transmitter?

Two kilometers.

- I can't stand this...
- Spare me the melodrama, fool.

I don't trust Manuela,
and I barely trust you.

Don't risk what little of it remains
over nothing.

Go.

Stop here, please.

Hello?

Hi, Maria. It's Francesco.

Francesco Belmondo.

The stubborn Francesco Belmondo.

Hi, Francesco.
How are you?

Fine, fine.
Are you still in Mexico?

Look, I appreciate your concern,
but I already told you.

Please stop calling me.

It's dangerous.
I don't want to put you at risk.

You shouldn't be alone, Maria.

- Is there anything I can do?
- No.

This is something
only I can resolve.

- I have to go.
- No, wait a second, Maria.

Maria...

Whatever you need,
no matter the time, I'm right here.

Thanks.

Bye.

Jesus,

- take me to Jadranka.
- You got it.

If some bastard ever kidnaps you
like in my nightmares,

the element of surprise
is what can save you.

She who hits first hits twice.

- Understand?
- I understand.

Look, even a fucking orange
can help you deceive somebody.

An orange, intelligence,
and patience, Sofia.

Patience...

I don't feel good.

Because you're not eating.

- Eat.
- Bring me oranges.

This isn't your restaurant,
and I'm not your servant!

Yes, she was stopped
on Calvario Street.

There's still a business
that's in her name.

Yes, when she lived in Marbella.

I will, Epifanio.

Fucking brat won't eat.

"It hurts!
I can't swallow!"

"Now I want oranges!"

What does she think?
That this is a hotel?

Bring her the oranges,

and please stop acting
like you're Sofia's age.

I hope she chokes on the seeds,

so she dies already!

We're here.

Jadranka.

For you.

Thank you.

- Welcome, Mexican.
- Thank you, Jesus.

Are you okay?

Let's say I've got a good radar
for rats, wherever they are.

Wait here.

I'm looking for Mr. Oleg Yasikov.

I just asked you a question.

Mr. Oleg Yasikov.

He won't answer.

Idris just arrived from Africa

and he understands Spanish
as well as I do Chinese.

If you're a patron,
we open at 7:00.

If you're here... to work,

- my office is upstairs.
- No.

Oleg Yasikov's office is upstairs.

When I tell him how you
welcomed his friend Teresa,

that stupid grin on your face
will disappear.

Teresa?

Oh.

Yes, yes.

Mr. Oleg is very busy.

We spoke yesterday, didn't we?
I told you I was coming.

It's your problem
if you didn't believe me.

Go tell him I'm here.

Yes. Yes.

I'll tell Mr. Oleg
that you made it to Jadranka.

Wait.

You should've
notified me immediately

that you'd located
that woman in Italy.

You can't take justice
into your own hands.

What do you recommend?

In whose justice should I believe?
Yours?

I've been trusting the police
for years,

and you allowed that woman to disappear.

Teresa Mendoza murdered my son.

She wrapped him in a rug
and threw him into the ocean...

like a dog.

He was floating for five weeks
before anyone found him.

While I waited nine years
for Spanish authorities to do something.

How dare you reproach me?

You don't know the pain of a mother
who's lost her child.

What you showed me
wasn't my son.

That wasn't the son I gave birth to.

That wasn't...

my handsome boy,
my pride and joy,

- my life.
- Ma'am, I'm a father myself,

and I understand the pain you feel.

- I promise...
- Spare me your promises.

Arrest her and lock her up.

At least in jail I'd have the hope
that another inmate...

would get justice on that Mexican,
something you've been unable to do.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA

Agent Rangel speaking.

I've got news
on your precious Mexican.

What the hell?

Who's this?

Don't you recognize my voice?

This is Captain Flores
with the National Police.

All that hiding Teresa Mendoza

only for her to return
to the scene of the crime.

What do you know about Teresa?

That when I was about
to arrest her,

you put her on a plane
back to Mexico.

Nice way of cooperating
with a fellow cop, Willy.

Have you been smoking something,
Pablo?

What the hell
are you talking about?

She entered
the Witness Protection Program.

That's all.

So she's still
under your protection.

I'm glad, Willy.

You two
must be plotting something

if she decided to return
to Marbella

even though there's a warrant
for her arrest.

And this time, Willy,

nothing's going to stop me
from catching her.

You've hit the jackpot, Jesus.

Shit.

Teresa, it's me.
I have information.

If you don't run, you'll get caught.

Spanish law enforcement
knows you're in Marbella,

so you should leave, got it?

Shit.
The police.

Teresa.

Where's Oleg?

Oleg went out.

But there's somebody
who wants to see you.

Teresa Mendoza.

Welcome to Spain.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

Sofia, is that you?

Mom.

Mom...

You're fucked, Mexican.

Burn in hell, you bitch!

Teresa Mendoza is dead.

There's no way for the cops to identify
what's left of the bitch.

Good job, Mr. Pernas.
