On her day off, Teresa is hunted by a sicario from her previous life while on the road.
Previously
on Queen of the South...
We're at war,
and you disappear
-to screw some bitch?
-Watch your mouth, puto!
-Who is she?
-She's Boaz' ex-fiancé.
-And she's with you now.
-Sí.
You putting it
to that boss lady of yours?
Where's the car?
I would like to resume
our business deal.
All right.
This isn't some
"Tia-juana" flea market,
Miss Mendoza.
-Now, if you'll excuse me--
-Okay. 10%.
You'll see how much smoother
things go for ya.
-Who's that playing?
-Friend of mine.
You should put that
on an album.
-He's great.
-He's no longer with us.
-Are the Sicarios dead?
-One of them is.
I couldn't find the body
of the second one.
Tony's father--
he was stealing from my boss,
and I was just following orders
and he knew the rules.
That's why I felt nothing
when I squeezed the trigger
and took his life.
Why don't you go outside,
do something else?
I'm in a groove here.
Practicing for when
I become your solider.
I told you...
you're not working for me.
And you don't want me
to live with you either.
These people are not
my family.
You are.
-Move, move, move!
You say we've only
got each other.
And then you're always
dumping me somewhere.
I'm not dumping you.
I trust Pote with my life.
If you say so.
Uh-huh.
He's angry.
He's been through a lot.
We would be angry too.
When I come back from
Nashville,
we need to do something
for him.
I don't know--
therapy, school.
I really wish you weren't
going alone on this trip,
Teresita.
Eddie's introducing me
to his old band.
It's like meeting
his family.
Huh.
It's just one day.
Maybe you could get Tony
to go outside.
I don't do outside.
Fine.
This needs to sit anyways.
Thank you.
De nada.
Just be careful, Teresita.
I will.
I'll call you.
And so we're reaching
out to the public.
If anybody
has any information
on the whereabouts
of this man, Rene Bardot,
please contact the number
on your screen.
Mr. Bardot has been missing
for over two weeks,
and his uncle, the Honorable
Judge Cecil Lafayette,
is very anxious to find him.
Again,
anyone with any information,
please contact
the number on your screen.
-Thank you.
-The Judge's nephew.
Dijiste algo?
No.
Casual Teresa.
I like her.
-Hi.
-Hi.
You're full of surprises.
Tell you the truth,
I wasn't sure you were
gonna be able to let go
of the business reins
for an entire day.
I'm looking forward to it.
-You ready? Okay.
-Yeah.
I miss the road.
Most of the guys
hate touring,
but it was one of my favorite
parts of the life.
You miss the groupies.
What?
No.
I mean,
don't get me wrong,
it was fun when I was
in my 20s, but...
it was always more than that.
I enjoyed the mystery
and romance.
Never know who you'll meet.
My buddy Leon,
he says every new town
is like a blank canvas.
You just move in
and make a new life.
You ever fantasize
about that?
I think I'm too busy
to daydream.
Indulge me.
Who should we be?
Bonnie and Clyde?
Rob a few dozen banks,
make love on piles
of stolen cash
and die a bullet-ridden death
in slow motion?
I think you watch
too many movies.
That is true.
Your turn.
A house somewhere
with a garden.
Whenever I think
I got you figured out,
you surprise me.
Tony.
I know Teresa wants you to
babysit me, but I'm good here.
Mm.
You can stay here
and shoot your little toy gun
on a little boy screen,
or you can get up
and shoot a real gun
like a man.
Virgil.
Okay, thank you.
Vamos.
This is a good rifle
for deer.
It holds three bullets
at a time.
I'm only gonna need one.
Hey, hey--
Careful where you
point that to.
Sorry!
So...
what are we waiting for?
Paciencia, hijo.
First we have to see
if you can shoot this thing.
I know how to shoot a gun,
Pote.
Orale, then.
Show me.
I'm fine.
Hunting's not a game.
I just wasn't ready,
all right?
Mijo,
something is troubling you.
You know you can
talk to me.
I'm not your son, okay?
My parents are dead.
When you grow up,
you gonna realize
that family's
not just blood.
It's the people
you choose.
Yeah, well...
I wish I could choose to have
my real family back.
Let's go.
It's this way.
I had this fantasy
about spending a long afternoon
alone with you
in a hotel room, but...
we have a sound check
in 15 minutes.
Don't worry about me.
This is for the show
tonight.
You'll need it
to get backstage.
Why don't you take
a long, hot bath...
and I'll try to get back
before the water gets cold.
Have fun.
'Scuse me.
Good afternoon.
How can I help you?
Hi. I'm in room 237,
and my bathtub's not working.
-Sí.
Shh...ah!
Chinga.
What can I do you
for?
That old Lincoln over there--
it's mine.
You don't say?
I just need to see some
identification.
Mijo, I lost my wallet.
But I brought some famous
politicians to vouch for me.
-You know Ben Franklin?
-Mm-hmm.
Right this way, senor.
Gracias.
Bon ami.
You got a dead body
in there?
Can you keep a secret?
Killed an alligator
that day in the swamp.
She was a beast.
It was almost 10 feet long.
It was incredible.
Took me almost an hour
to get it in the trunk.
Then when I came back
for my stuff...
-car was gone.
-Ca c'est bon.
-Good on you.
-Yeah.
Them lizards,
they a menace to society.
But they make fine boots.
Can I get me a look-see?
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
Maybe next time, amigo.
I gotta hit the road.
Gracias.
Easy.
You scared me.
Sorry.
You wanna come in?
No...thank you.
Why don't you come
join me when you're ready?
Sure.
The only thing my father
ever taught me
was how to hunt.
He was like a stranger.
But we would talk when
we'd go out hunting.
What'd he say?
He talked about God.
Life and death things,
you know?
Big things.
Right before
he killed an animal,
he would get really quiet,
like he was almost praying.
Then after the shot, he would
ask God for forgiveness.
For what?
For killing
a living creature.
What's it like
to kill a person?
I hope you never have to
find out, mijo.
It's a terrible thing.
Hey, now.
What's wrong?
Being with the old band
brings up a lotta...
buried shit.
You wanna talk about it?
Ah...
A few years ago, I...
landed my first
recording deal.
My...trumpet player
was like my brother.
Andre Delphine.
He was a monster
on the horn.
We were in the studio...
and we couldn't get
the horns right, you know?
It just...sounded different
than what I heard
in my head.
We must have played it
a hundred times.
Got really late,
but we finally nailed it.
We were all pretty...
wiped out.
Andre offered to just sleep
at the studio, but...
I knew that he wanted
to get home to his family,
so I insisted
on driving him home.
Three miles from Andre's house,
I fell asleep.
Hit a tree.
Andre was killed instantly.
You can't imagine what
it feels like to take a life.
All that...
Bonnie and Clyde crap.
Truth is, I've had enough
tragedy to last a lifetime.
Your idea about a...
quiet life in a little house
somewhere...
That's more like it.
You need ice.
I'll get it.
You okay?
Yeah.
Can I help you?
What's going on?
What--what's this about?
-Aah!
It happens.
These cars sit for days.
-Go 'head.
-Give it a try.
-...is reported to
have been last seen
making rounds
in the French Quarter.
A well-known figure
in New Orleans politics,
Bardot is the nephew of
prominent local judge
Cecil Lafayette.
Under Bardot's supervision,
underage drinking has been...
Police officers are
asking for any information
on the whereabouts...
...black Lincoln town car
that has also been reported
missing or stolen.
Police have not commented on
whether the missing GM
is related to the
disappearance of its owner.
More details as they come in.
Obviously the family
and city officials
are very interested
in finding any information...
Emilia.
I need your help.
I'm gonna drive
that Lincoln.
I need you to follow me.
Can you do that?
Sí. Sí, sí, sí, sí.
Mr. Brucks, room 215.
Thank you.
We're in the middle
of our set.
Next thing I know, Eddie is
leaning over Cubes' drum kit,
puking his brains out.
-Really?
True story.
Then he gets up
and he keeps playing
like nothing happened.
-I'm a professional.
That's what
they call it.
And why do they
call you Cubes?
I chew on ice cubes to relax.
I mean, for a while
it was Ativan, but...
this works better.
-We've all mellowed with age.
-Mm.
-I'll say.
Eddie's never dated
a woman more than once.
And now he brings
the lovely Teresa to dinner.
And we're all the better
for it.
Me especially.
I don't know,
the only one of us
that ever really settled
down was Andre.
Cheers.
-Yeah, cheers.
-Cheers.
Eddie says you run
your own business.
Yes. I have a bar
in New Orleans.
And she has her own line
of tequila too.
-Oh, yeah?
-Small, but growing.
Why can't I meet
a woman like you?
Don't you guys need to
get ready?
Oh, crap, she's right.
I'll get the check.
-No--
-Please. It's a pleasure.
-Thank you.
-Of course.
-Mm!
-Thank you, Teresa.
Listen, I just realized
I forgot my VIP pass.
We'll get you
another one.
No. The hotel is just
around the corner.
I'll get it,
and then I'll meet you.
Really.
-Have fun.
-Thank you.
Of course.
What happened?
Somebody from the staff
had a freak accident.
They slipped in the tub
and died.
Front desk.
Hi. Has anyone been in my room
in the last couple of hours?
I'm missing something.
Yes, sir,
welcome.
Make sure you have his
heart in the crosshairs.
Aim behind the shoulder.
I know where
the heart is.
Drop your shoulders.
Breathe in and out
and when you have a rhythm,
pull the trigger.
I'll be here if you need me.
Ay, Dios mio.
No.
This next one is for
the woman in my life
who keeps me guessing.
Aah!
Bien hecho.
Took me three hunts
before I killed my first deer.
-TUhh!
You need to field dress
the deer right away
or the meat goes bad.
First, you cut off the limbs.
Uhh...ugh...
You cannot hide
from this.
Part of taking a life
is dealing with the aftermath.
This is not one of
your video games.
This is nasty.
This is dirty.
It's real,
and you need to see that.
POTE: You think you can
handle this, but you can't.
You want to hunt?
You're not always
gonna be the hunter.
Sometimes you're gonna
be the hunted.
That means seeing it through
to the end.
Thank you very much.
You've been a great audience.
Thank you!
That anything can
happen in the hunt,
you need to be ready for it.
Who sent you?
-What do you think?
Look at me!
Was it Cortez?
You could have shot me
anytime.
He said...do it slow.
Who?
Who did?
Are there more coming?
I still can't believe
you slipped in the bathroom.
It was a stupid accident.
You should have found me.
You were on stage.
You sure you're all right?
I'm okay.
Emilia.
I know I said this already,
but thank you
for coming with me
and for coming into
my life.
It feels like something's
finally shifted.
Maybe I can start
to forgive myself.
And that's all you.
Listen, um...
My life is so messy
right now, and I...
I can't be honest with you.
There are things
that you don't know, and...
I can't see you anymore.
What are you talking
about?
I think it's better
we stop.
-This is because of Andre.
-No.
It's not about you.
You don't mean this.
I'm sorry.
I do.
