CAMILA: Previously on Queen of the South...

Don't let our daughter become you.

CAMILA: Don't.

-(grunts)

I want that bitch dead just as much as you do.

Isabela, don't talk like that.

TERESA: After our shipment comes in, we'll have too much cash to run with.

Oleg promised me a meeting with the banker, Rocco de la Peña, who can help us launder it.

And for all my magic tricks, I charge 5%.

Today I'm moving 30 kilos a week.

Do you want to wait until I've doubled that -to negotiate with me?

-Four points it is.

BOAZ: It's my business now.

The only reason I'm giving you a cut is because Epifanio was a gentleman.

You're not giving me anything.

I'm receiving a part of the cut because I am the governor.

Devon, I need your help to get the coke.

DEVON: The product has been delivered in full.

James arranged it.

I have an offer to make.

Come work with us.

Ah.

We need their permission to move on Boaz.

I want your focus on Teresa.

Put all your sicarios on the ground in Valleta.

CAMILA: I want blood.

MARK: Hey, come on in, buddy.

(laughs)

He's here, honey.

Honey, this is Trevor.

Pleased to meet you, Mrs.

Douglas.

Oh, call me Diane.

So good to finally meet you.

Ever since you started at the plant, all I hear about is Trevor this and Trevor that.

Tell you the truth, I was starting to get a little jealous.

(laughs)

Well, down at the plant, all we ever hear is how lucky this guy is to have you.

(chuckles)

You're sweet.

Well, I hope you brought your appetite with these flowers.

-Yes, ma'am.

MARK: Come on in.

Lord, we'd like to give thanks for our meal and for everyone gathered here.

We ask that You provide for all those less fortunate than us.

And we ask that You bless this food and our time together, in Jesus' name.

ALL: Amen.

Looks beautiful.

So, Trevor, Mark tells me you used to work for a commodities broker.

That's right.

That sounds exciting.

Commodity training.

What's that like?

-(g*nsh*t)

-(grunts)

(macaw caws)

(grunts)

It's m*rder.

Markets are volatile, and the competition's cutthroat.

MARK: Sounds like manufacturing.

At the end of the day, it's all down -to supply and demand, right?

-That's right.

DIANE: So tell us about your family.

Any siblings?

I had a little sister, but she passed away when we were young.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

What about your folks?

Are they still with us?

It's just me.

Well, you should know that everyone who sits at this table is considered family.

Ladies, why don't we show Trevor how we welcome family around this house?

I'll do it.

MARK: All right, thank you, Suzie.

Second is to capture Epifanio's k*ller.

There's a contract out on someone they call "La Princesa." I did some digging, found out this princess is moving Bolivian coke.

So I followed the sicarios hoping to help.

-That's bullshit.

-It's the truth.

Why would you do that?

The last time we met, you offered me a partnership.

And you tried to k*ll me.

If I really wanted to k*ll you, you'd be dead.

He's won me a lot of money.

So what do you want to talk about, without Camila?

Heroin.

I have a supplier in Tamaulipas.

Take a look around, General.

This is my bullring.

I don't need to mess around with selling chiva when I wipe my ass with $100 bills, papá.

Yes, but not before Camila takes her cut.

My supplier will front us all the heroin we need.

We send it north through our regularly scheduled shipments.

I don't know.

As much as I hate giving that bitch her pinch...

Did you know your familia held a private meeting with the Colombians yesterday?

Huh?

They didn't mention it.

And neither did she.

Do you think she's trying to move against me?

Camila is like an alley cat.

And you know what they say...

That's why we need to make our own moves.

When the heroin business is up and running, we won't need her or Reynaldo.
