Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 8 - Secretos y Mentiras - full transcript
An FBI informant threatens Teresa's growing empire while she deals with turmoil within her family.
Previously on "Queen of the South"
Tony's father was stealing from my boss.
That's why I felt nothing
when I squeezed the trigger
and took his life.
You're always dumping me somewhere.
I'm not dumping you.
I trust Pote with my life.
If you say so.
René?
Thought I heard you in here.
What up, cuz?
Why don't you join us, Davis?
We're at war, and you disappeared
- to screw some bitch?
- Who is she?
JAVIER: Her name is Emilia.
She is Boaz' ex-fiancée.
BOAZ: Emilia was the one.
I can't get past her.
- (GUNSHOT)

I'm gonna drive that Lincoln.
I need you to follow me.

PRIEST: Though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no evil,
for you are with me,
and your rod and your staff...
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
Surely, goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.
ALL: Amen.
As many of you know,
René was like a son to me,
and a father always knows his children
better than they know themselves.
René... he was a son of a bitch,
but he was my blood,
and I promise you,
whoever did this
will pay with theirs,
them and everyone they love.

DUMAS: That's his mother's tomb.
She passed away when he was a boy.
Mysterious circumstances.
A lot of that going around.
Didn't expect to see you here.
I could say the same.
Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.
I dig it.
Speaking of which, an associate of mine
had a little run-in with one of yours,
uh, a Russian player based in Atlanta.
Oksana.
I'd like to get your, uh...
your counsel on the matter
before... things get out of hand.
Of course.
I'll come by your club later.
Thank you.
The men that Dumas sent to kill me
were from Atlanta.
We don't know it's the same people.
Whether it is or not,
best not to get in a war
with Oksana, patrona.
I need to hear him.

What's going on over there?
Uh, Tony tried to leave.
He said he wants to go back to Mexico.
He locked his door.
He seems pretty upset.
Do you know what's going on?
No.
Okay, well, if you could
get back here as soon as you can,
because I'm not really sure
what he's gonna do.
Just make sure he doesn't leave.
We'll be there as soon as we can.
Okay.
This way.
Teresa.
Darlin'.
I'm sorry for your loss.
The Lord giveth,
and the Lord taketh away.
TERESA: That's $3 million,
the 10% payment we agreed upon.
Looks like that trucking
company's working out for you.
Yes.
But money isn't the only thing
we're here for today.
RANDALL: We tracked
René's cell phone signal
to your bar
the night of his disappearance.
I'm not trying to suggest anything.
Uh, we were with you
at Boucher's alligator farm that night.
God rest his soul.
RANDALL: But René was here,
and someone must have seen something.
LAFAYETTE: We'd like

Just open the door, please.

Did you know Pote killed my dad?
Did you?
You had me living

If I confess now, there's still
time for her to clean it up.
She gonna clean it up, all right.
It's gonna be your body
at the bottom of the swamp.
I didn't call to argue.
I called to warn you.
- If this thing blows up...

She'll come after me, too. I know.
I shouldn't have pulled you into this.
BOAZ: You didn't pull me into anything.
I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself.
Come back to Mexico, primo.
I'll protect you.
