Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - La Muerte - full transcript

Returning to Bolivia, Teresa risks her life to prove her loyalty to El Santo.

TERESA: Previously on
Queen of the South...

(gasps)

LEO: El Santo has a guy
who has to vet you

before you meet him.

They call him El Dentista.

Don't be nervous.
It's part of his process.

Are you aware of the word
moyocoyotzin?

It is time for you to create
yourself, Teresa Mendoza.

Be careful, mi'ja.

There is still
a Judas among you.

Guero? Guero?
Pote, he's not breathing.



Guero? Guero!

(suspenseful music)

KELLY ANNE:
I screwed up yesterday.

I totally admit that.

I want you to know
you can count on me.

You're my only friend left.

(gunfire)

(shouting)

(speaking Spanish)

Hey, hey, hey!
I need to talk to someone!

(both grunting)

You think you're going
to make me beg for my life?

I don't kneel to bitches.

Adiós, puta.
I'll see you in he--

(baby crying)

El Santo.

*

You?

(baby crying)

It was you?

EL SANTO: You killed everyone.

(baby crying)

You are the Judas!

(pained grunting)

TERESA: Where are you?

I'm at the safe house.

We've almost finished
loading up.

TERESA: And the winery?

Pote's there.

We're gonna deliver
some product now.

Okay, good.
I just got to the motel.

Kelly Anne.

She was using product
and skimming.

You really think you
want her back in?

I know she's been using,
but she's safer with us.

Just want to check on her.

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

Bye.

(knocking)

Damn, girl.
You got here fast.

Come in.

I'm just getting, um,
everything situated.

I feel like I'm forget--
Where are my keys?

It's a mess in here.
I'm sorry.

Take your time, okay?

I'll wait outside.

Okay.

(vehicle approaching)

(suspenseful music)

*

(speaking Spanish)

*

(car door closes)

(engine turning over)

*

(door closes)

Who was that, Teresa?
What's wrong?

*

El Santo's dangerous.

Are you sure you want to go
on vacation with that man?

If they wanted
to hurt me,

they could have done
it at the motel.

There's something different.

Did you find anything out?

Yeah, a contact of mine
in the UK said all Bolivian

product moving in through
Ireland has just stopped.

No one knows why.

Maybe he's working with Camila.

No, he isn't.

Word is she's on the run
without any allies.

It's just a matter of time
before she's found.

I need to pack.

Teresita.

Just because you
go in blind...

doesn't mean that you
go in helpless.

It's plastic.

It's invisible
to metal detectors.

They won't know you have it.

He gave this to me.

It brought me back
from some dark places.

Keep it with you at all times,
Teresita.

Thank you.

*

Listen, I'll be okay.

*

I made it back once, remember?

You won't have me or Guero
to protect you this time.

I remember me saving
both of you.

*

Just be careful.

Come back to us.

*

I will.

(knocking)

Hey, is this a bad time?

If it is, I can come back.

No, come in.

(shudders)

Did your mom ever read you
the Bible when you were little?

Don't remember.

My daddy did.

I could see myself in
the stories he read.

It was like they were all
different versions of me.

(chuckles)

Sounds silly, I know.

But I could see it.

You know,
all these possibilities.

And the only thing I had
to do was choose wisely.

I think I have a problem.

(dramatic music)

You know, this isn't
the life I was aiming for.

And the drugs,
they paint out all

the ugly parts,
but they don't go away.

They just follow you
around like shadows,

and I can feel them
hanging off me,

and I don't even know
how I got here.

You're stronger than you think.

How do you not just curl up
into a little ball?

Because I never had
that choice.

*

You know, Psalm 144
was my dad's favorite.

It's prettier in Spanish,
though.

Hmm.

*

(sniffles)
Okay.

*

POTE: (speaking Spanish)

*

(engine turning over)

*

(indistinct chatter)

*

(suspenseful music)

*

(classical music playing)

*

(indistinct chatter)

Look at you, sliding your pretty
little culo in there like,

"Oh, don't notice me.
I'm just beautiful."

Who you think you're fooling?

*

Teresa.

Sasha.

*

Do you know why you're here?

Same reason we're all here.

He called. We came.

TERESA: So everyone
here's a dealer?

SASHA: And cold-ass killers.

Oh, don't let
the wrinkles fool you.

The older they are, the more
blood between their teeth.

See, I'm a baby compared
to most of them.

I was running some
third-rate hashish

back in Detroit in '07.

(chuckles)
Thought my ass was invincible.

Got on the wrong plane
with the wrong people.

El Santo killed
everyone but me.

Ten years later,

I'm running all his
supply lines through Morocco.

Turns out I am invincible.

*

TERESA: I've met him.
That's El Dentista.

Now, that's Luca Baron.

SASHA: He runs
El Santo's pipelines

through Rome and Naples.

And the ginger,
she handles Ireland.

You found
a pretty new pet, Sasha?

SASHA:
(growls, chuckles)

Maybe I'll try and teach her
a few new things.

She looks a bit green.

Hmm.

What do you think,
Frida Kahlo?

You up for a good go or what?

I've heard all Bolivian
product has stopped moving

from Dublin and Galway.

Is that true?

*

Hmm.

(bell gongs)

(dramatic music)

No, no, no, no, no, no, sit.

Please.
Mi familia.

I want to welcome you
to my family home.

I promise my words will be few.

*

EL SANTO: Family.

Family is all we have.

*

The most fragile aspect
of our business is trust.

Trust makes one into two.

Two into legion.

*

I've brought you here tonight
to give you a gift.

*

The gift is forgiveness.

*

Forgiveness for what?

*

EL SANTO: Our sanctuary
was firebombed.

These pictures are the only
thing that's left

of that beautiful place

and all of my workers
who make the coca that you sell.

One of you has betrayed
me to the authorities

who bombed us.

And no one here
tonight will leave

until one of you confesses.

(projector and lights click)

(indistinct chatter)

*

But first...

we shall dance.

*

(tango music plays)

*

EL DENTISTA: I led you
to El Santo's sanctuary.

TERESA: I know.
But it wasn't me.

I told you to leave
all this in La Paz.

I warned you.

When was the prison attacked?

A week ago Sunday.

They purposely defiled
the Sabbath,

knowing the pain
it would cause El Santo.

This isn't about business.

It's spiritual warfare.

This isn't a battle
about cocaine and cash.

What you are
witnessing here

is the eternal struggle
between good and evil.

Do you know who betrayed him?

Yes.

I believe the Judas--

Doctor Oyola...

*

EL SANTO: Oh, at last.

Ah, everybody...

*

Let me present to you
this beautiful creature...

Her purity is unparalleled.

And I tell you all that
when I am with her,

my heart is like it
is outside my body.

*

Switch partners.

EL SANTO:
Excuse me.

Listen, they just
took El Dentista.

-What?
-We could be next.

This is some bullshit.
I didn't give up El Santo.

Me either.
I have a gun in my room, okay?

*

All right.
I'll follow your lead.

*

Okay, now.

Hold on.
Where do you think you're going?

He didn't say any
of us could leave.

Ladies' room.

-Excuse us.
-No.

*

Well, go on, then.

I know one of you
two's the rat anyway.

*

So who do you think
the snitch is?

Lucky Charms back there
seems damn guilty to me.

Oh.

(suspenseful music)

*

Okay.

*

Dr. Oyola.

*

It's Teresa.

*

-(gasps)
-Goddamn.

SASHA: Are those his teeth?

(frog croaking)

Oh, shit, something just
touched my foot.

(groans)

-No, no, no, no, that dude...
-He's alive.

SASHA: I'm telling you,
Teresa, don't!

*

He's cold.

(gurgling)

Okay, we got to go.

*

My room's up there on the right.

SASHA: Okay.

*

(indistinct chatter in Spanish)

-(door closes)
-They gone?

They're next to my room.

Okay, look,
gun idea's done.

We need to get our asses
out of here.

Okay.

We have to tell the others.

Wait a minute.
No, no, no, no.

You don't know who you're
trying to save, okay?

Those people deal in death,
Teresa.

TERESA: There's too many guards.

Our only chance is
to stick together.

*

(indistinct chatter)

Where the hell did you two go?

Listen, they tortured
and killed El Dentista.

AIDEEN: We're all gonna die.

I can't.
I can't stay here with you.

Why the hell am I here
with you people?

Get your hands off me.

Get your gobshite hands off me.

Listen, I say we
force her to confess.

What?
No.

I'm in.

I mean, it's better her

than the rest of us
getting killed one by one.

-Did you just see what we saw?
-I'm not gonna go down, Teresa.

EL SANTO: Teresa...

come join me.

Please.

Did you enjoy your little
stroll around my house?

Música, música.

Shall we dance?

(upbeat tango music plays)

Hmm?

*

Did El Dentista betray you?

Betrayal?
No.

He is not capable of betrayal.

*

Then why did you torture him?

He was my gatekeeper,

and he let in a wolf.

He was your family.

Yes, Teresa.

But sometimes love is not warm.

Sometimes violence and pain

can be part
of God's greater plan.

You should know that
now more than ever.

Do I detect a darkness in you
that I never saw before?

Hmm?

Is it your old friend?

The one who offered up
his life for you?

I'm sorry, mi'ja.
Speak the truth.

Has the darkness overtaken you?

Have you betrayed me?

Yes, it was her.

She brought a gun
into your home, see?

SASHA: She tried
to get me to escape.

And I told her I would never
betray my family.

She threatened my life.
She threatened all our lives.

Is this true,
what Sasha says?

-No, I didn't do this.
-Mi familia.

Yeah.
Yeah, El Santo, it's true.

She tried to get me
to turn on you, too,

but I told her
to go slag herself.

She's your snitch.

I didn't do this.

(suspenseful music)

EL SANTO: Oh...

I think that we have
found our Judas.

No, listen.
No.

Listen to me.
This is a mistake.

EL SANTO: It was,
but we will fix it.

Teresa, do you know
there are voodoo doctors

who have been known
to control the dead?

By using a combination

of the puffer fish
and toad neurotoxins,

they can induce
a type of walking coma.

No.
Listen to me.

This is a mistake.
Please.

I didn't do this.
No.

Hold her mouth.

(gasps)

EL SANTO: Their victims
seem to be in a purgatory.

Living zombies. Abre.

TERESA: No.

EL SANTO: Abre.
-No.

(grunting)

(engine roaring)

(distant whistling)

No, no!

(screaming)

TERESA: (groans)

(suspenseful music)

(gasping)

(high-pitched ringing)

(heavy breathing)

(groans)

(distant baby crying)

(baby crying)

You?

You are the Judas!

(pained grunting)

Oh!

(heavy breathing)

EL SANTO: You are the destroyer.

(grunts)

(baby crying)

My baby.

*

EL SANTO: (shushing)

The bomb blast
took my beautiful love.

And those jackals
forced me to cut my son

out of her body.

We were bombed.

(baby crying)

EL SANTO: They're coming.

Your people left no survivors
at the prison.

TERESA: If I were to blame,

I would have left
before the bombing started.

TERESA: So would the others.

What?

TERESA: We wouldn't
bomb ourselves.

It was your fault.

EL SANTO: I was careless.

Why did I bring all
I love to the wolf?

(door opens)

(baby crying)

(door closes)

TERESA: (gasps)

(heavy breathing)

Someone's here.

MAN: Move up.
-(indistinct chatter)

MAN: No movement
over here.

(indistinct chatter over radio)

(coughing and groaning)

*

Please.

(gunshot)

Sir, none of these
are the target.

(radio hissing)

DEVON: Get the
infrared drone up.

If anyone else is here,
we'll find them.

(radio clicks)

TERESA: That's
Devon Finch's voice.

(baby crying)

(groaning)

Look at me.
Look at me.

-We have to go.
-(grunts)

They're going to kill us.

-Okay.
-(shushes)

This way.
Come.

I have something
I must do first.

*

(indistinct chatter over radio)

*

MAN: Deploy the drone
to search the property.

(baby crying)

Shh.

(heavy breathing)

(baby crying)

Ay, Dios. Mi amor...

*

(baby crying)

*

DEVON: IR signal received.

If they're still alive,
we'll find them.

Where's your son?

*

My son has his own path.

MAN: Clear!
Try the next room.

*

MAN: Check the kitchen.

Let's go.

(heavy breathing)

*

(heavy breathing)

*

We must bury ourselves.

This is our only
chance to survive.

The mud won't hide
us completely.

The drones sense the heat.

We have to lower
our body temperature.

-What?
-(water splashes)

How?

We have to enter
the land of the dead.

TERESA: The potion.

That's what you used
with El Dentista.

His body was cold.

There has to be another way.

I wish there was, mi'ja.

I do not look forward
to what awaits me.

*

(groans)

*

(water splashes)

EL SANTO: No!

Adiós, Teresa.

*

(drone whirring)

*

(gagging)

*

(drone whirring)

DEVON: We're getting a signal
from that structure.

Move in closer.
It could be the target.

(suspenseful music)

*

(beeping)

*

MAN: Keep looking.

MAN: Come on. Let's go.

(man shouts)

*

What now?

The drone picked up a heat
signature behind the mansion.

Go check it out.

*

DEVON: You guys
see anything?

*

(dramatic music)

*

Hey, listen.

*

I know you've had it
rough in the past.

But you don't have
to worry anymore.

What's mine is yours.

*

Baby...

what if we walk
away from this life?

*

Away from the cartel,
away from all of it.

*

Epifanio will never
let that happen.

Maybe I already asked him.

*

What did he say?

Well, he--he said, "Be careful
what you wish for."

But he let me go.

We can start over,
have a new life...

a family.

*

TERESA: (heavy breathing)

*

(water running)

*

(fireworks popping)

Ahí está.
Mira eso, cariño.

*

Want to go over there
with the other kids?

*

(indistinct chatter)

*

Come on.

Are you reading
any signs of life?

Negative.

You don't see anything?

No.
Must've been an animal.

DEVON: There's nothing
alive in there.

Search the rest
of the property.

We must find Teresa
and El Santo.

(dramatic music)

*

I wish this was real.

*

Does it matter?

We got another chance.

*

But this is a dream.

*

This isn't real.

Well, you want to go
back to a life

where you have
to fight and kill?

That's not what
I wanted for you, Teresa.

*

There's nothing
for you back there.

*

THE QUEEN: Your life
is painful and ugly.

But it's yours.

And you only get one.

GUERO: You've lost
everyone you love.

I can't stay.

*

If you let go of this, you're
gonna be all alone out there.

*

I know.

(sniffles)

*

This isn't real.

*

I'm sorry.

*

I love you.

I love you, too.

Always.

(fireworks whistling)

(eerie whispering)

*

(whispering continues)

(gasping)

(shuddering)

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

*

(scratching)

*

The soldiers took him.

My son is gone.

I have caused this.

I am done with this business.

How could so much
be taken from us?

As long as you're alive,
you can re-create yourself.

(heavy breathing)

Moyocoyotzin?

*

Huh.

*

Teresa...

the darkness
that I saw in you earlier

has been lifted.

No, it has changed.

It is no longer your enemy.

We must find the people
who did this to us,

and we must destroy them.

Let's go.

*

POTE: Okay.

500 bucks each.

There you go.

(groans)

I'm in.

(chuckles)

Nah, too close.
Get the next ones.

(laughs) That's what
I'm talking about, cabrón.

Do you feel any pain
in your hand?

Uh, nada.
Not since Mexico.

I'm ready to go if we got to.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

We shouldn't have
let her go alone.

(laughs)

You think you could
have stopped her?

When Teresa gets
something in her head,

it would be easier to stop
a freakin' bullet than her.

I'm gonna get another michelada.
You want one?

Yeah, sure.

Well, it was good doing
business with you, cabrón.

(laughs)

-Hey.
-What?

Don't forget that
thousand bucks you owe me.

What thousand bucks?

(gunfire)

Yeah.

Cabrón.

(cell phone vibrating)

Diga.

Hey, it's me.

Finally.
Where you been?

I'm on my way back.

Are you alone?

*

What happened down there?

We may have lost our supply.

Puta madre.

We have a rat.
Someone gave up El Santo.

They put a tracker
in Guero's necklace,

and Devon Finch used it
to track me here.

Devon Finch?
You don't think...

*

POTE: James?

I don't know.

But we have a mole.

*

(dramatic music)

*

(film reel whirring)

(keys clacking, bell dings)
