Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Lirio de los Valles - full transcript

WOMAN:
Previously
on Queen of the South...

If you leave me now,
you die.

What did she do to
you?

EPIFANIO (over phone):
That puta and Guero

stole from me.

If you find this girl,
let me know.

Epifanio has men
everywhere looking for
her.

Whatever he wants her for,
it's very important.

Important enough to
pretend
she doesn't mean anything.

JAMES: The second she takes
an interest in you,

it's gonna be harder for you
to get out.



Just do small things
when you're asked.

She'll get bored with you.

CAMILA: When
life
gave you a
choice

about what to do with the
man
that stole from us...

Just let him go.

You chose mercy.
That was the wrong choice.

Women in this business,
we cannot afford to look weak.

When I agreed to do this,
I didn't mean antagonizing

one of the largest
businessmen
in Sinaloa.

CAMILA: Everything my
husband
has, I help him build,

so if you're afraid of him,
you have to be afraid of me too.

Teresa, where are you?
Why aren't you here?

Find a coyote who can take
you
to Dallas, Texas.

BRENDA: This better be
worth it,
Teresa.



You tell me. Is America as
bad
as everybody says it is?

You're gonna love it here.

Puta.

There's a flower that grows
in the darkness.

It's called
lirio de los valles.

It actually does better
in the shade.

It blooms...

in spite of the darkness.

You remind me
of that flower.

I'm trying to pee.

I want to show
you
something.

JAMES: It's your first
delivery
alone.

You're moving up
in the world.

(cell phone chimes)

Here's where you're going.

I've texted
you
both deliveries.

These are the addresses.

The first one is Sandra.
She's expecting you.

You deliver;
you bring the money back

to Camila's club.
It's this one.

Okay?

You do not stop
on your journey.

That's how you get
robbed or killed.

I don't care if
you
hit
something--

a cat, a dog, a
priest.
You do not stop.

Is that clear?

Here's the
key.

You might have to pump the gas
a few times to start it.

If you get busted,
you say nothing.

You just give them this card.

It's a lawyer.
You don't say
anything.

I think I've
proven that already.

Yeah, and it's been
proven to me

that people need reminding.

So remember what
I've been telling you.

You've been given a job to do.

So be smart, don't even
think about running.

I guarantee you that shit
will not work.

(cell phone ringing)

Yeah.

She's leaving now.

WOMAN (over PA): Jerry Collins,
your client is waiting

in the showroom.

Jerry to the showroom,
please.

Camila, so good to see
you.

Jerry.

Let me get you
an espresso.

We have your favorite,
Kopi
Luwak,

straight from Sumatra.

Nobody
else
in Dallas can get it.

Oh, I'm not here
for the coffee.

Something wrong with the car?

No, nothing like that at all.

It runs like a dream.

As a matter of fact,
I like it so much,

I'm gonna buy four more.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

I want them delivered
to Mexico.

Not a problem at all.

Shipped to your place
in
Sinaloa?

No, they're not mine.
They're gifts.

Gifts,
that's very gracious.

Fully loaded,
all the bells and
whistles?

There's a service
we've been
offering

to our select customers:

bulletproof glass,
armor tech doors.

It's very popular
in Qatar.

What am I looking at
with that?

- I'm not so gracious.
- I understand.

Good decision.

Shall we discuss colors?

Um, ruby red,

emerald green,
beluga black,

and white.

When can you have them
delivered?

The custom colors are
going to take a few weeks,

but I can get you
the white one immediately.
