Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - Diez de Copas - full transcript

Teresa hunts for a mole inside her own operation, and faces a terrible choice.

TERESA: Previously on
"Queen of the South."

TERESA: Tony's video game.
ALONZO: It's a tracking device.

That must be how they found you.

It was a gift from James.

-The last time we met--
-You tried to kill me.

If I really wanted
to kill you,

you'd be dead.
You know that.

How does Teresa get
in contact with El Santo?

I don't know.

No, Teresa!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

[dramatic music]



[speaking Spanish]

[chanting in Spanish]

[shouting in Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

EL SANTO: Do I detect
a darkness in you?

[bomb whistling and exploding]



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.

POTE: You don't think...
James?

[men singing in Spanish]



You are too skinny, cabron.
You need to eat the whole cow.

Ah, I'm good, Flaco.
Look, I'm still eating.

CHARGER: Flaco, huh?

Now, Kelly Anne, tortillas, are
they classed as carbohydrates?

Uh, no, I don't think so.
I mean, technically.

Excuse me.
To our fearless leader.



Thank you for this.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

We're just happy
to have you back.



ALL: Salut.



[beeping]

Bolivia.

You do anything exciting
like zip-lining

or visiting Lake Titicaca?



What?
I didn't name the la--

I didn't name the lake.

[beeping, electronic tone]

[beeping,
electronic tone]

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

Where's Pote?
Why's he taking so long?

He went to get more tequila.

JAMES: I told him there
was one in the cellar.

I'll get it.



KELLY ANNE: Hey, no,
where are you going?

It's time to get
this party lit.

-Did you get tequila?
-Oh, you wanna go?

Here, Charger.
She wants to dance.

Hey, no, no.

[all speaking simultaneously]

Whoo!

Oh, you...

[phone buzzes]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, can we talk later?

I just want to find out more
about what happened

with El Santo.

I told you everything.

And whoever went after him
could come after us.

[upbeat latin-tinged music]

It was Bolivian military.

They can't get us here.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad you're
back home safe.

Me too.



-Rum?
-Where's the tequila, huh?

[speaking Spanish]

I'm not sharing that shit
with you cabrones.



-Okay.
-Who wants a mojito?

Here.

I know you want one.

Hey, Teresa, can you help me
with the mint?

[sighs]

Yeah.

-Tell me.
-I swept the whole property.

I found this in James' room.

It's a bug.



It's also a recorder.

JAMES: Only four people know
about the Pedolla play.

Three of them are standing
here.

TERESA: The sheriff
works for us now.

POTE: You made a deal
with the devil, Teresita.

There's more where
that came from.

Weeks of it.
He's been recording us.

He put a tracker on little
Tony's Game Boy.

He could have done the same
with Guero's medallion.

While you two were...

[dramatic music]

You know.

[speaking Spanish]

Devon Finch attacked
you in Bolivia,

and we both know that
James worked for him.

Open your eyes, Teresita.

Or someone will
shut them for you.



[somber music]



[phone beeps]
[line ringing]

Meet me at the address
I texted you.

Are--are you there?

Hello?
[beep beep beep]

Oh, shit.

[heavy breathing]



[Piero's "Mi Viejo"]



♪ Es un buén tipo mi viejo



♪ Que anda solo y esperando



♪ Tiene la tristeza larga



♪ De tanto venir andando



♪ Yo lo miro desde lejos



♪ Pero somos tan distintos



♪ Con tranvía ya vino

♪ Tinto



IVAN: Basically what they did
is cast a copy of the medal

inserting a tiny TTL device.

Now, TTL is tagging, tracking,
and locating.

That's a defense
department term.

POTE: It cannot be Guero's.

We scanned it right
after he died.

So this is U.S. military?

Well, I can't say for sure.

But what I can tell you
is this is some

incredibly high-tech shit.

I shut it down as soon
as you gave it to me,

but you're not
being tracked anymore.

TERESA: Somebody here
planted that one on me.

Can we use this?

To track someone?
Absolutely.

It'll take some time,
the innards and such.

Do it.

Thank you.

If he still wants to talk,
have him reach out.

I'll call you back.

Hey, look, I've been making some
calls about trying to find

a new connect just in case.

El Santo wants to meet.
He's here.

Where, Phoenix?

I'm meeting him later
at the abandoned factory.

Near Taza's reservation.

Okay.

He told me to go alone.

Look, you know I'm here for you,
right?

I know.

[speaking Spanish]

[tense music]

[buzzing]



[light mystical music]



[upbeat latin-tinged music]

[upbeat music in Spanish]



[applause]

[tense music]

[gunshots]

[somber chords fade]

You okay?

Fine.

You sure?
'Cause you kind of look like

you just found out someone
ran over your dog.

[chuckles]

You want to talk about it?

No one said anything to me.

I just--woman's intuition.

Just sensed something happened
between you and James.

It's been a rough
couple of days.

I know.

But hey, you're not alone,
okay?

I mean, you're like a sister
to me.

I appreciate that.
I really do.

I'm gonna rest a little bit.

[tense music]





[gunshots]

[people screaming]

Augh!

Oof!

[gunshot]

EPIFANIO: [speaking Spanish]

[siren wailing]

[sirens wailing, closer]

[somber music]



[knock at door]

[knocking continues]

I didn't think you were coming.

Nice to see you too.

Better late than never.

I had trouble getting across
the Sinaloa border.

Yeah,
Cortez is watching everything.

[speaking Spanish]

Well, we both know
he's good at that, don't we?

[speaking Spanish]

Listen, Alonzo,

I didn't know what Cortez
was doing.

And I was honest with you.

Can you say the same thing?

You're right.

I was the one
holding out on you.

Go on.

Cortez was telling you
the truth.

I had been reinstated
to the DEA.

You were my target.

Then and now.

POTE: We don't even know
if El Santo's still alive.

TERESA: I know.

We've waited two hours.

Nobody's coming.

POTE: James might have
caught on to our plan.

[speaking Spanish]

TERESA: I thought you liked
James.

I do.

Then?

You and I come from
the same place, Teresita.

We follow the same rules.

James, he's different.

[speaking Spanish]

I mean, if it wasn't him,

then who the hell was it?

[phone buzzes]

It's Little T.

Let's go check on her.

[engine turning over]

DEVON: Up the offer a point,
but that's it.

[phone buzzing]
I have to take this.

Mr. Valdez, what a surprise.

JAMES: We need to talk.

What if I can help you
get out of this?

[Camila chuckles]

Then you can have the rest
of the tequila.

I can guarantee your safety
if...

You work with me.

For the DEA?

I'm not a snitch.

Cortez is controlling
your daughter.

With your help,
we can bring him down,

get you both set up
in witness protection.

So you can get a gold star
from your boss

and a big, fat promotion?

You're not here to help me.

You're here because I'm
the big fish.

And you're finally
reeling me in.

[scoffs]

You don't have many options,
Camila.

I could talk to the Colombians.

They'll help me get back
on my feet.

There is no coming back
from this.

Your days as "Camila Vargas"
are done.

It's time to think about
what's next.

[light mystical music]



CAMILA: I bought this studio
and made it safe house.

I used to train here
as a dancer.

Dance was my safe place.

I was obsessed with it.

What happened?

Love.

You're right.

Maybe it's time.

I've got to speak
with my counterpart,

work on getting you extracted
from Mexico.

Give me a few hours?

You're making
the right decision, Camila.

Am I?

[dark music]



MAN: [speaking Spanish]

Hallelujah.

Life's not worth living
without tacos.

You look better.

I was worried about you.

Don't worry about me.

I'm like a pinche gatita,
got nine lives and shit.

Have I ever told you
what a badass bitch you are?

Seriously,
you're like Oprah.

I'll follow you
wherever you go.

[speaking Spanish]

[laughs]

I have to say something.

And it's not gonna be pretty.

You've been nothing but good
to me,

and you taught me so much,
and--

and I really screwed up.

[tense music]

What I did could have
put you guys in danger,

messed up your business.

Like, I just figured
I'd come clean.

I appreciate that.



I called my uncle.

I know I told you
I'd cut him off for good,

but he's my family,
you know?

TERESA
It's okay.

Thank you for telling
the truth.

But I'm--I'm still
your ride-or-die.

[speaking Spanish]

[phone buzzes]

I have to take this.

[edgy chords]

Call me.

It's him.

Put it on speaker.

Hey.

I know about Devon
and the leak.

And that you think
it was me.

Meet me at the safe house.
I can explain everything.

It could be a trap.

If I mean something to you,

you'll show up.

[heavy, tense music]



[gun clicks]

[whispers indistinctly]

[tense music]



I found the mole.



Look,
cash from the register,

product she didn't pay for,

and a burner phone.

We knew she was stealing,

but this doesn't make her
guilty.

Oh, it's not what she took.
It's the timing.

I called Devon to bait him,

told him I knew who
the mole was.

We need to talk.

I know what's going on
with you and El Santo.

I've never met the man.

Bullshit.

You found him through us,

and you're the reason
he's dead.

James, there are two kinds
of people in the world,

those that gives orders
and those that take them.

You're a son of a bitch that
just doesn't know his place.

You're the son of the bitch
who's about to have

his rat killed and their
carcass left on his doorstep.

Then I waited to see
what would happen.

I didn't have to wait long.

She fled the winery.

Devon must have told her
the game was up.

Are there any calls
from Devon here?

I'm sure he told her
to delete them.

And they put this in my room
to frame me.

So it's your word against hers.

JAMES: Well, she hasn't
confessed,

if that's what you're asking.

But that won't take me long.

I can't believe this.

But you had no problem
suspecting me.

POTE: You want me to talk
to her?

I will.

[whispers] I can explain.

Okay, this isn't
what you think.

James is trying
to save himself.

You have to believe me.

He's been lying to you,
Teresa.

When he tried to seduce you,
it was all part of his plan.

What plan?

He's been in bed with Devon
this entire time.

James is the one lying to you,
not me.

Think about it.

At the winery, Devon shows up
looking for El Santo,

and all of a sudden,
El Santo's dead.

And then--then you find a bug
in James' room.

I mean, I know you have
feelings for him,

but you can't let that
cloud your judgment.

I never told you about the bug.

[sobbing]

TERESA: Tell me the truth.

All of it.

Teresa!

After the winery,
he found me...alone.

Devon?

[door chimes]

Hey, Kelly Anne.

-No.
-Hey, it's okay.

-I'm not gonna hurt you.
-What do you want from me?

Your help getting closer
to El Santo.

We found his factory,
but we want him.

I already told you,
I don't know where he is.

But Teresa does.

Your proximity to her
puts her in an ideal situation

to acquire that information
for us.

Us?

-So you're a cop?
-No, not exactly.

And you want me to rat on her?

You can wine-board me
all you want, man.

I'm not gonna help you.

My loyalty is to Teresa.

You know, El Santo...

is on a whole other level
of criminal.

When he's done with Teresa,
he will not only kill her,

he will throw her into
a 55-gallon barrel of oil,

light it,
and watch her sear to death.

You can help save
Teresa's life.

I think you know
what needs to be done.

Devon told me that El Santo
was gonna kill you.

And I just wanted
to protect you.

I know it sounds crazy.

That's when I started using,

and I--I tried to get out
of all this

that night at the motel.
I packed my stuff

-[knocking on door]
-so I could run,

but they were always
watching me.

Oh.
[gasps]

[tense music]



And he gave you the tracker.

Yeah.

Yeah, I made a copy,

and he told me switch it out.

I planted the bug
in James' room too.

I've done things
I'm not proud of.

And to you and to James
and to Pote.

You called me your sister.

KELLY ANNE: [sobbing]
You are.

You are.
You're family to me.

I love you. I do.

I trusted you.

[sobbing]

I don't trust anyone.

KELLY ANNE: I'm sorry, Teresa.

I'm so sorry.

You were right.

It's her.

She's the mole.



Everyone makes mistakes.

But not everyone survives them.

How could I not
see this coming?

Shit.
Neither did I.

What would you do?

That's the decision
for you to make.

[speaks Spanish]

Needs to go.

You let one in, it will eat you
from the inside out.

[tense music]



POTE:
What's it gonna be?



[upbeat classical music]



[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]



[speaking Spanish]



[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]



[rattling]

-Loya?
-[door closes]

WOMAN: Hello?



[speaking Spanish]



Ahh!

Ahh! Ugh!

BOTH: [grunting]

Ahh!



BOTH: [grunting]

[glass shattering]

No.

[speaking Spanish]

[dark, dramatic music]



I'm not jefa anymore.

I'm just Camila.

[woman whimpers]

[soft, solemn music]



KELLY ANNE: Pote, please don't
judge me in my greatest sin.

I did some good stuff,
you know.

Like, I--I sacrificed myself
for you and Teresa.

Do not regret it at all.

Teresa collected us
just like a pack of strays,

and I love her forever
for that, and...

I know you--
I know you will too,

so please just take care
of her for me.

Why?

I got this.

Go watch the road.

I got it.

[gasping]

Turn around.

[tense music]



[gunshot]
[thud]



LIL T: Yo, I'm a free woman.

Doctor released me.
Said I was good to go.

I'm glad to hear that.

LIL T: I'm ready to get back
to work.

What's this?
You need me to pay someone off?

Listen.

You're smart, hardworking.

Take that and go back
to school.

LIL T: School?
Is this about my uncle?

He said he'd leave us alone.
He gave me his word.

-You can change your life.
-I don't need school.

I'm working with you.
I'm learning from the best.

I've done nothing
but be down for you.

I almost died.

And you're trying to fire me?

I want what you have,
power, money, respect.

I'm not gonna get that
in a classroom.

You don't want to be like me.

Please take the money and go.

Now.

I can never see
or hear from you again.

You understand that?

[engine turning over]

Where are you?

[upbeat Latin-tinged music]

I told you.

I'm not a snitch.

Come back,
and we can talk.

We'll think of a plan together.

It's too late for that.

You're in a dangerous
situation,

and I don't want you
to get hurt, Camila.

Look, I just want to help
any way that I can.

I know what that badge
means to you.

I don't want you
to lose it again.

So I appreciate the offer,

but this is something
I have to do on my own terms.

You know
you can't run forever.

I know.

I have someone that's gonna
help me get out of Mexico.

I'll make it past Cortez.

And, my friend,
you were right.

It's time for me to take
a new path.

Yeah, well, if you ever
change your mind,

you know where to find me.

Good luck, Camila.

If there's anything
I've learned,

it's that there is
no such thing as luck.

Good-bye, Alonzo.

TERESA: James.

JAMES: You should have come
to me first.

I put myself out there for you
time and time again.

And this is what I get.

I'm sorry.

You deserve better.

[emotional music]



It's been a long day.

I need a break.

-Does she know?
-No.

I need to hear more
before I agree to anything.

I'll be in Phoenix shortly.

Good.

Call me when you get here.

I'll handle things
with Teresa.

[tense music]
