Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Coge Todo lo Que Puede Llevar - full transcript

Teresa tries to save a witness to the heist; and a confident Camila vows that she's back in business and is done with Epifanio.

BRENDA: Previously
on Queen of the South...

Everyone seems to be messing
with my business.

We're late with everyone.
No one has their shipments.

-Teresa.
-Yeah, hi.

When you first came
into our church,

you mentioned you needed
to get back to Mexico

to retrieve
something of value.

I might be able
to get you there.

You're making a mistake,
Allen.

ALLEN: It's one time.

You are my supplier,
not Eric.



Get me my money
or I'm cutting you off.

CAMILA: You have proven
you can be relied upon

to do what I need.

Turning to $2 1/2 million
into five.

It's not an easy trick.

(gunshot)

(dramatic music)

Just do what I say
and nothing will happen to you.

(gunfire)

TERESA: I know you're scared.

You don't know how dead
you are.

Stop talking.

He's not gonna kill you.
I'm not gonna kill you.

CAMILA: Use that fear
to stay alive.



You're a survivor.

Is he dead?

Yeah.

She's all messed up.

(groaning)

Stay with me, man.
Stay with me.

(suspenseful music)

-How's he doing?
-He's not good, man.

-Where's the doctor?
-Not here yet.

I can see that, genius.

Camila says he's on his way.

I gave him some water anyways.

Go get some clean towels
and some alcohol.

Go back to your business!

(groaning, coughing)

Can't believe it.

Get his feet.

(objects clatter)

Keep his legs up.
Keep his legs up.

Where the hell's the doctor?

He's five minutes away.

I hope we have five minutes.

This thing
is all over the news.

How exposed are we?

A maid saw Teresa's face
at the hotel.

-She can ID her.
-Where's Teresa?

I don't know.
I think in the back.

♪ ♪

It's okay.

I know how hard this was
for you.

I know.

But do you really think
you could have gotten out

of that hotel room

without doing what you did?

No.

So it's not like
you had a choice,

right?

That cabrón

was going to kill you.

And he wouldn't have blinked

or shed a tear.

Life is for the living.

Now pull yourself together.

We still have work to do.

TELEVISION ANNOUNCER:
Three people are dead

following a shootout
and a horrific accident

on Interstate 30 today.

The incident may have involved
rival gangs

and drug cartels.

Give me the info
you got on the maid.

The maid in the room.

She won't say anything.
She was scared.

This isn't a robbery anymore,
Teresa.

It's a murder investigation.

The cops, they tend to lose
their sense of humor

at this point.
We can't be tied to this.

She's the only one
who saw your face.

I didn't get her name.

I specifically said
take a picture of her ID.

She was scared.
I threatened her.

-So you didn't get it.
-I didn't get her name.

Why? That's the first thing
I told you.

I threatened her.
She was scared.

-I didn't get her name.
CAMILA: Enough.

You know what's done
is done.

Call Denny
at the sheriff's office.

He'll track her address for us.

That's what he's paid for.

(phone vibrates)

Doctor's here.

JAMES: Denny, it's me.

I know it.

I know,
it's a shitstorm.

Look, there's a maid
who's a witness.

Is she saying anything?

Well, I wish
she didn't say anything,

but it's the way it is.
I need her address.

It's not coming from me.
It's Camila.

So don't say shit about it.
Just get it done.

DOCTOR: How long ago
was he shot?

THE CHARGER:
Coming up on 40 minutes.

DOCTOR: All right.
Get his legs down flat.

Don't elevate the legs.
Not with a torso wound.

Okay, we're gonna have to
turn him over.

-Check for exit wounds.
-Okay.

All right, move the towels
out of the way.

Get ready to roll him over.

Everybody ready.
On three.

Ready?
One, two, three.

(Tonto groans)

Easy.

One, two...

There's no third exit wound.

FLACO: What does that mean?

DOCTOR: It means the third
bullet's still in here.

We need to lay him back down.

Come on, come on, easy.

Shit.
Hey!

We need a hand over here.

You! Come on. Come on.

♪ ♪

Get me the scanner from my bag.

The black thing with the hook.

Watch his head.
Come on.

Black thing.
That. Right there.

Bring it here.

Thanks.
Grab his legs.

Hold him in place.

-Watch his head.
-Yes.

Hold him down.
Easy.

(phone vibrates)

Somebody from Florida's
blowing up my phone.

I don't know what to do.

Deal with it.

-No.
-Why not?

'Cause I don't know
what to say.

I don't know
who it is.

They must know something.

Avoiding it is just gonna
make you more suspicious.

Answer the phone.

Say you don't know anything
about what happened.

Do it.

(phone buzzing)

(line trilling)

-Yeah?
MAN: Is this James?

-Who's this?
-Leon Terris.

Got your number from Beto.

Yeah, Beto's my boy.
What's up?

LEON: Beto says you're the dude

who set up the meeting
with my brothers,

John and Reggie.

Yeah. What's going on?

What's going on?

My brothers got smoked, James.

LEON: They got smoked!

What the hell
are you talking about?

LEON: They're dead,
do you hear me?

They're all dead.

They're all dead!

-What?
-James, you don't know this?

Is that what you're telling me?

Look, Leon,
you just woke me up, man.

You're coming at me with shit
I can't digest.

Just back up a sec.

LEON: My brothers got hit,
do you understand me?

They're gone, James.

-They're dead.
-All right, listen to me.

This has nothing to do with me
or the people I work for.

We met, I got the dope,
they got the cash, end of story.

Uh-huh,
not end of story, James.

This is a mess.

Turn on the damn news.

All right, look, Leon,
let me make some calls.

I'll get back to you as soon
as I got something, okay?

LEON: I'm on a plane.

When I land, I want answers.

Seems like they got a brother.

He's flying in.
He's on his way.

It sounds like trouble.

I'll think of something.

One bird at a time.

Find that maid.

How is he?

It's a wait-and-see thing.

What, you want to take a chance
and drop him off at emergency?

You know we can't do that.

Then it's
a wait-and-see thing.

(fence rattles)

(fence rattles)

He's stable.

You should get some sleep.

I want you to understand,

I know what you're
going through.

I don't want anything
to happen to that woman.

that's not your decision
to make.

Camila.

You had me

We're actually a bit late.

Usual drop time

Yeah.

CAMILA: I wanted
to deliver it personally.

I thought you were dry.

And I thought
you were listening.

I told you
it was a temporary thing.

Consider everything
back to normal.

100 total.

You got the door?

Holy shit,

Allen.

Yo!

Get your ass out here.

Camila just told me
you don't want my coke.

I told you,
it was just temporary.

Why you telling Allen

you can't?

She just delivered.

CAMILA:
Look at your little birdbrain

doing these little birdbrain

You see, Eric,

ERIC: So that's it?

You got your answer.

Go back to North Texas.

I'll see you around, Allen.

You're betting

He gives you trouble,

Name's Maria Sanchez.

That's her home address.

Listen, you really took a dump

We're getting

I know.

Four dead bodies.

You're wasting time.

I'm sorry to hear
about what happened.

Me too.

Me too.

I'm sure
you could imagine.

Yeah.

So let's talk
about my brothers.

I have so many questions.

What do you know about it?

Last time I saw them,
they were fine.

Yeah, well,
now they're not.

I want you to help me figure out
who's gonna pay for that.

What do you know
about the Jimenez cartel?

They run half of Texas.

We have the other half.
Why?

Got a text from my brother
yesterday.

Okay.

He said someone from the Jimenez
cartel threatened him

at the hotel bar.

He told you that?

He didn't tell you?

No. No, he did not,

because if he did,
I would have warned him.

A threat like that
is not a joke.

The guy said to be careful
dealing in Texas.

Told him to go home.

Did he say what the guy
looked like?

No.

Well, then how does he know
it was Jimenez?

I don't know, James,
that's just what he said.

Why?
You doubt it?

I don't know
what I think, man.

It could be Jimenez.

Do we have problems with them?
Sure.

But maybe it's just some jokers
pretending to be Jimenez.

Look, let me call my boss.

We need to figure things out.

There was a maid.

Might be able
to identify somebody.

You know about that?

How'd you hear about that?

I heard about it.

I'll check on the maid too.

But look,
it's not gonna be easy.

There's a lot of heat
on this.

I'll give you a beat,

then I take things
into my own hands.

You won't have to.

I promise.
We'll figure this out.

You know, Camila,
I have to be honest with you.

I didn't think that you were
going to be able

to make your payment.

You see, Jaime, all my life,
men have underestimated me.

I've grown used to it.

See, most men are
very basic creatures.

They can't seem to see
beyond my legs.

So sometimes I use that
to my advantage

and others,
I just depend upon it.

Anyway,
now that my debt is settled

I assume our mutual trust
is restored?

And most important,
my credit,

separate from Epifanio's.

Absolutely.

And you're forgiven for being
late on your payment.

Good.

And you're forgiven
for letting my husband know

about our arrangement

and trying
to undermine my business.

You see, I know everything.

I know he's the one's that's
been putting the works on me

all this time.

I know he's the one
that arranged

the shipment from you
to be busted,

putting me in this mess.

Just as I know he empowered Eric
and the Jimenez cartel

to put a move on me.

So I know everything.

It's okay.

You can speak freely.

Who told you?

I had my suspicions.

Call it an instinct.

And you just confirmed it.

I'm not angry, Jaime.

I understand
this wasn't personal.

I know that your business
with Epifanio

is more valuable than mine.

But not for long.

I'm going to increase
my business,

so starting next month,

I want to double
my shipment from you.

We have no objection to that,
of course.

But we know that Epifanio keeps
a tight rein on things in Texas.

He might object.

No, he won't.

How can you be so sure?

He won't have a choice.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Did you find anything out?

I assume you know who I am?

Who my husband is?

You know our names,

our reputations are
of the utmost importance.

So when you come into my town

and accuse my men

of having something
to do with this,

this is why you're here
in front of me.

No.

I'm here because your man
made a deal with my brothers,

and now they're dead.

Although he said
he had nothing to do with it,

I can make a lot of problems
for you

while I'm here
looking for who did.

You're smarter
than you look.

Just give me some answers.

I'll be out of your hair.

You're talking
about going after a cartel.

I don't care
about the cartel.

I'm not after their territory.

I'm after the men
who killed my brothers.

You sure you want
to go down this road?

You do understand
that if you attack a cartel,

it just won't go away.

We have swamps down there

for people who come looking.

What's his name?

I can give you the man
that engineered this hit.

But you didn't hear it
from me.

You see, I have an agreement
with the Jimenez people,

and I'll be violating my accord

if I put a move
on this man.

Lucky for you, then,
I don't have an accord.

His name is Eric Watson.

They call him the Birdman.

And this is
where you can find him.

Are you sure?

Took a lot of work
to find that out,

but nothing happens here without
me eventually knowing about it.

So do it quickly,

and then...

get out of my city.
