Zurdo takes another look at the hostage note Renata has been talking about and wonders if Teresa is about to double-cross him.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE...

I already see myself
in Los Pinos thanks to you.

You've done what the DEA
and the Mexican government couldn't.

You handed us Zurdo Villa.

Tomorrow everyone in Mexico
will know

that fucker was financing
Mariano's campaign

and he'll have to step down.

General Rodriguez Quiroga,

how would you like to be
Mexico's next Secretary of Defense?

Tomorrow at 1:00 PM in that hotel
in room 804



you'll find the most wanted man
in Mexico, Zurdo Villa.

It's time.

I know the question
is probably obvious for you

because of how cliché this can all be.

Will you marry me?

I can't.

I can't believe I'll be able
to see my daughter again

and hug her.

Do you know what you'll do?

I want to fall off the face of the Earth.

What about the Italian?

Francesco arrived here
in Culiacan today.

He has a life in Italy
and I can't go back there.

No matter what you decide,



you can count on me
unconditionally.

Punctual as always, Kira.

Sir.

Today's our most important day,
and I don't trust Lupo.

CULIACAN, MEXICO

Lencho, what do you think?

Damn, boss!

She's really done a number on you.

But it won't be 1:00 PM
for a while.

We need to be punctual.

I think I might've overdone it
with the aftershave.

Maybe a little bit,

but it'll be three hours
before you meet Ms. Teresa.

Don't worry.

I feel like it's my first time
with a woman again.

And not just any woman.
Teresa Mendoza herself.

Your wish finally came true, boss.

Wait.

I want you to take Mariano
some money.

- Five million.
- Okay.

Last night he called me
and now I can't find my phone.

I gotta get my head out
of my ass.

What?

You're not excited anymore?

HELP, I WAS KIDNAPPED!
PLEASE, HELP ME.

CALL GRANDMA CAYETANA
PHONE +34965460184 SOFÍA ALJARAFE

I have a daughter.
She's about your age.

Really? She's nine?

Sofia's almost 10,
but she could pass for 12.

I have a friend
called Sofia too.

Really?

You said your daughter's
hiding in Europe, right?

Yeah, but I don't feel
like talking about her.

Wait. I was thinking you could visit her
now that we're going to Italy.

That way I can meet her,
like you met my daughter.

Right?

It's not a problem.

It's just that you and me
are doing business.

We need to get to know
each other better.

I don't trust many people
when it comes to my daughter.

Lencho.

When we investigated Teresa,
there was a man.

A Spaniard.

The one that turned up dead,
that got her pregnant.

What was his name?

It was... Teo...
Aljarafe or something.

Sofia Aljarafe.

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

Come on. Quickly.

Where are we?

This is the place your mother chose
to pick you up.

In less than two hours
she'll be here in a helicopter.

Sir, I'm in position.
I have eyes on the target.

This is the room you'll meet Zurdo in.

I'll be here.

- Teresa.
- Don't.

Keep doing what you're doing.

- How's it going?
- Good.

Here's the sitch.

I'll be able to trace the GPS
in your foot from here.

I'll also be able to intercept
Zurdo's calls,

and we'll have eyes on you

thanks to the cameras we installed.

We have this equipment,
what's at the house

and the equipment in El Submarino.

I feel a lot safer.

Ray, has Zurdo gotten any calls
or has he called anyone?

Yes, he called his wife.

Said he wanted to see his daughter.

What?

He's taking her to the ranch?

We can't let that happen.

She can't be there
when the military shows up.

I have to call him.

Tesa, wait.

What did he say exactly?

Not much. That he wanted to see her.

I don't remember him mentioning
taking her to the ranch.

Are you sure?

If anything happens to that girl
because of me...

Stay calm, Tesa.

Is Jonathan on the roof?

Yes.

You can go join the others.

Good luck, Teresa.

Thank you.

Tesa...

In war there are always casualties.

Oleg, we're talking about a child.

If anything happens to her,
I'll never forgive myself.

Here's where I found Sofia's letter, Dad.

Where did you hear the name Aljarafe?

Is it like your mom said?

Did you find that name
in someone's agenda or something?

No, I've told you already!

I didn't steal anyone's agenda!
Why won't you believe me?

That's not my handwriting.
I promise I didn't write it.

- Nazario!
- Nazario!

Hey!

What's the point of all this?

That happened a long time ago,
and our daughter's in therapy.

She's doing a lot better.

Come on!
Why are you bringing this up again?

I have to confirm something, Carolina.

Please don't argue with me.

- She made it all up.
- I don't care!

Lencho, where do you think
that crap could've come from?

No idea, boss.

Tell our men to bring a boat.

I'm going to scour every inch
of this lake, and before 1:00PM.

Get moving!

Are you really searching the whole lake?

Yes, I am.

Daddy, can I come with you
to meet my friend Sofia?

No, and you'd better not
be lying.

You're so mean, Nazario.

Wake up, Faustino. We fell asleep.

I'm going to tell you
the first thing I thought

when I opened my eyes.

That I went to bed with one hottie

and woke up with another.

You look beautiful
without makeup on.

Of course, I also love it
when you dress like a vampire.

It's like being with two beauties
at the same time.

All right, quit screwing around.

Get over here.

You're not going anywhere.

I thought vampires
couldn't go out during the day.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

Testing, one, two, three.

You can't be nervous
during the press conference.

Alejandro, please tell me
it's a done deal

and that we caught him.

Calm down.

General Rodriguez just called
to inform me

his people are ready.

Los Pinos knows too.

The president will be having
a press conference at 1:30

to announce the arrest.

All you have to do is go out there
and put on a happy face.

Enjoy your success, get it?

Epifanio, this is your moment.

Don't squander it.

These guys.

This house isn't abandoned!

Nope.

Have someone watch the jetty
for snoops.

All right, boys. Get to the jetty.

What's this?

"Sofia's diary."

This is written in Italian.

Yes, it is Italian.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Teresa's daughter grew up
in Italy.

Hand me the note that Renata found.

There it is.

Yeah, it's the same handwriting.

My daughter didn't write it.

She wasn't lying.

She didn't write that message.

"Mom is being forced
to do something, but I don't know what.

All I know is that she can't
rescue me until she does it."

Who could make Teresa Mendoza
do something against her will?

Listen, I'd retired from this business
and all that.

I was happy with my daughter in Italy.

You've got a kid?

Until my enemies found me.

Where is your daughter?

Very well hidden
and out of the reach of those bastards.

Teresa's the one who was lying.

Her daughter was kidnapped
and is here, in Culiacan.

But what are they forcing her to do?

What do you think, Lencho?
What does this mean?

There's something fishy.

You think Ms. Teresa is betraying you?

Why didn't she tell me
her kid had been kidnapped?

Why wouldn't she tell me?

"Mom always told me I was
what's most important to her

but that was a lie
because she had me kidnapped herself."

So her own mother had her kidnapped?

I don't get it.

Why is the kid saying Teresa's
being forced to do something

in order to rescue her?

Why would she rescue her
if she herself kidnapped her?

Whatever it is, Teresa lied,
motherfucker!

This house isn't abandoned.

It's one of two things.

She was either handed over
or about to be handed over.

They're just waiting
for Teresa to deliver

on something the kidnappers
asked her to do.

Isn't it weird?

It's not all that clear that she took part
in that kidnapping.

- What are you going to do?
- Find out the truth.

Let's go!

It was all bullshit.
I trusted Teresa and she lied to me.

- You know what I do to traitors.
- Talk to her first.

Maybe that diary is just
a kid's imagination run wild.

What did I tell you
about my daughter?

Turns out her imaginary friend
is flesh and bone.

What time is it?

It's almost time to meet with this bitch.

Why don't you call her?

I want to see how she reacts to this.

What the fuck will the bitch
make up now?

If Teresa thinks she can double-cross me,
she's dead.

What I don't get is what they asked for

in exchange for her daughter.

What was it?

The DEA protected you for nine years.

How do I know the Americans
didn't send you to catch me?

Lencho, head to the ranch and remove
the central computer from the bunker.

- You think they're going to...
- Who knows?

But I don't want any surprises.

Have the men head to the hotel.
Get going!

Let's go!

It's noon. See you in one hour.

Don't turn on the propellers
until you see me on the rooftop.

Relax.

You and Oleg already told me.

I won't have the engine running
and Zurdo won't be tipped off.

It's all clear to me.

Great.

Look, I won't deny that I'm a bit nervous,

but I like these kinds of missions,

especially when I know
we'll be rescuing your daughter.

Good luck, Teresa.

Still no movement.

Tesa, don't forget to leave
this door unlocked

when you enter the room.

Yes.

I'll do it right now.

Shit!

Oleg!

What is it, Tesa? You're pale.

There are snipers over here.

They're not Zurdo's men.

How do you know?

The way in which they're lined up
and their weapons.

They're military.

Of course! The navy!
They're Epifanio's men.

They have to get out of here
before Zurdo's men arrive.

I warned them.

Him and his errand boy.

Reporters keep showing up, Alex.

Nice press conference
you've called.

That was Danilo.
He's good at his job.

Who the fuck...?

Teresita Mendoza.

What's going on, sweetheart?

Did I not tell you I didn't want
any surprises?

What are you talking about?

The snipers across the street
aiming at me.

Get them out of here now
or I'll call Zurdo

and tell him our date is off.

No, hold on. Don't get nervous.

What's going on?

I'm risking my life
and my daughter's life.

Zurdo will be here
in 30 minutes, if that.

If these people aren't gone
in five minutes,

I'm calling this off.

You got it, Tere.

General Rodriguez, it's me.

Let me see.

Don't look out any windows.

I want to see
when Mom's helicopter shows up.

It's not time yet.

I'm nervous.

That's normal.

You haven't seen your mom
in a long time.

No, it's not just that.

It's because I'll never see you again.

You used to be the person
I hated most in this world

because of what you did to me.

But now...

In a few months time
you won't even remember me.

I, however, will never forget you.

Liar.

You don't even believe in me.

Why do you say that?

Because of the person
you have out there

to keep me from escaping.

What are you talking about?

The person dressed all in black
with the binoculars.

Stay here and don't move.

Don't look out of any window.

They received their orders.
They're leaving.

Just in time.

Those are Zurdo's men.

They almost crossed paths
with those soldiers.

They're inside, boss.

Look, see how they're watching
the entire entrance?

That means it won't be long
before Zurdo arrives.

Zero hour, Tesa.

Use extreme caution.

Any problem,

no matter how small
or insignificant it seems,

- you let me know.
- Yes.

You know the signal.

Yeah, and everything's clear.

Plus, I trust that we're well prepared.

Everything will be fine.

We've been preparing
for this moment a long time.

I know.

You look good.

Go on.

- Hey, Lupo.
- What are you doing here?

Delivering Sofia is my responsibility.

You're jeopardizing the mission.

I'll ask you one last time.

What are you doing here?

I'm not the one you should be asking.

I'm just following Alejandro's orders.

They gave you orders
I'm unfamiliar with.

Are you supervising me?

If you hadn't gotten
emotionally involved

I wouldn't be here, right?

I hear Teresa's got you
all hot and bothered.

What are you talking about?

Feelings can cloud reason,
you know?

And the bosses are worried.

They don't want you screwing up
and ruining the mission.

That's why they sent me.

To make sure everything goes well

and to make sure you disappear
after Teresa gets Sofia back.

How do you like that?

Great.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

My father was right.

I shouldn't have to discuss
my orders with you.

It's fine to be cautious
but don't cross the line, Lupo.

Whether or not you like
that I sent Kira isn't my problem.

- Just do your job.
- Okay.

I don't need to be babysat, Alejandro.

What do you want?

I want everything to go as planned,

and I want Epifanio to be president.
That's my mission,

and I will eliminate anyone
who interferes with that.

Including you.

Kira is in charge of the operation.

Everything all right?

If you do something
we haven't planned for,

you're getting a bullet
to the head.

You know I'm a crack shot.

What's up, Lencho?
Any new developments?

Everything's fine, boss.

All quiet on the western front.

Fine.

Let me know when you arrive at the ranch.

Good luck, boss.

I'm hanging up now. I'm at the hotel.

I just heard him talking to Lencho.

And?

All is in order.

You ready?

Like never before.

Good luck.

I feel much better knowing
you're on the other side of that door.

What's going on, Ray?

I can't speak to Teresa or Oleg.

The snipers left and we just intercepted
a call from Zurdo to Lencho.

It appears everything's fine,

but we still have to be on our toes.

Zurdo's here?

Yes, he's walking into the lobby.

Boss, Gavilan is going up
to the rooftop,

just as you ordered.

The rest have the outside covered
in case anyone shows up.

We've got the place secured.

I want everyone on alert.

If they see anything weird,

shoot first and ask questions later.

You stay with Quique. I'm going alone.

I'm going up alone.

Jonathan, there's a guy
going up to the roof.

All right.

Do you copy?

Halcon, you read me?

Halcon, I'm talking
to you, fool.

Stop.

Stop the car, man!

Hey, get up!

Dude.

Shit!
They killed him!

Let's go!

Let's get out of here!

Let's see how many of them there are.

There they are.

Shoot them!

Stop!

They're not getting out of here alive.

Alright, drive! Drive!

Oh, shit! They're a lot!

Shit! Go left!

Right on!

Go that way!

Hurry up! You drive like my grandma!

Careful, Yeyo!

Shit!

Cover me!

With me!

Come on! Quickly!

Look out for the chopper!

Watch out for the chopper!

Grenade!

You ain't going nowhere.

See you later, motherfucker.

Give it to me, fool.

Yeyo, cover me!

I'm coming!

Shit!

Yeyo, get down!

Motherfuckers!

Hi.

Hi.

I love punctual men.

And I, women of their word.

For me?

Of course they are.

They're lovely. Thank you.

Who else would they be for?

You look very handsome.

And what can I say about you?

You're dressed to kill.

- Tequila?
- Don't mind if I do.

For us.

For us.

And for this day.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

You go out that door,
run toward your mother,

and don't stop for any reason.

Sorry, I fell asleep.

It's time.
