Queen of the South - 4x12 - Diosa de la Guerra

Previously on "Queen of the South..."

You were driving the car..

Tied to the m*rder of my nephew René.

It was not his fault! He didn't do it.

- LAFAYETTE: Who's "he"?
- EMILIA: My boyfriend.


LAFAYETTE: Your boyfriend happen to work with Teresa Mendoza?

What are you talking about, man?

I blew her car up.

She wasn't in the car, assh*le.

She's alive.

k*ll Teresa Mendoza, or I'll k*ll you.

Nobody ever suspects the nurse.

(SUSPENSEFUL SYNTH MUSIC)



(YELPS)



Luis!

(UNEASY MUSIC)

I still have every intention of taking out Teresa.

He tried to k*ll me and my godson.

You have to make your choice.

I'm gonna k*ll El Gordo.



RANDALL: Someone was definitely trying to send a message here.

(g*nf*re)

Get an ID on these two?

COP: Got a long rap sheet for narcotic trafficking out of Miami.

Elias hit the truck.

CHICHO: The shipment's gone.

We're going to k*ll them all.



(ENERGETIC DRUM MUSIC)

(WOMAN CHANTING)



(MOURNFUL MUSIC)



Thank you.



(SYNTH MUSIC)



Gracias.



POTE: Okay, we'll be in touch.



George already landed in Miami.

He's waiting on your word to retaliate.

We need to be sure it was Elias.

When you were in the hospital,

Elias att*cked one of our shipments.

It was for Oksana.

Taking a shipment is one thing.

k*lling Tony and trying to k*ll me is completely different.

Then who else could it have been?

Elias know that we k*lled El Gordo.

Oksana was involved in his death.

He didn't att*ck her.

Not yet.

I want the people who k*lled Tony.

We need proof of who is responsible.

If it was Elias, we're gonna k*ll him.

Orale.

Let's get the proof, then.

Victor and his swamp rat have scattered in the wind.

He knew we would be after him.

How hard can it be to k*ll one little Mexican woman?

Unfortunately, Mendoza's men grabbed the woman that Victor sent to finish the job.

There's a good chance she'll know where he's hiding.

If Mendoza gets to him before you, she'll know who ordered that b*mb.

Then I best find Victor.

Hang on a second.

Maybe we can k*ll two birds with one stone here.

If Miss Mendoza wants vengeance, we'll help her get it.

(THUNDER CLAPS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)



(SPEAKING SPANISH)

BOAZ: (SPEAKING SPANISH) _

And out of respect for you and the way you run your business, I haven't used all my tools.



I'm only gonna ask you once.

Who sent you to k*ll Teresa?



What are you gonna do, sh**t me?

(g*nshots)



No, I will.

We'll get you mercenaries.

They have their own militia.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

She said she doesn't know who hired them.

Ah.

At least she gave us the location where Victor is hiding.

He's the one who planted the b*mb.

He has a stronghold in Deadman's Bayou.

Not even law enforcement will go in there.

I'm coming with you.

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

- Yes?
- KELLY ANNE: You need to come home.

What's wrong?

We have company.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(GASPS)

Hurry home now, and bring Miss Mendoza with you.

It's not polite to keep company waiting.



Out of my way, cabrón.

Don't make me ask again.

You'd best call off your dog, Miss Mendoza.

Why would I do that?



This is not over.



You know, uh, this, uh... this pozole is not half bad.

Call me old-fashioned, but I still like a woman who can cook.

I didn't cook it. He did.



LAFAYETTE: Ooh.

Well, now, that's surprising.

What do you want?

(CLEARS THROAT)

I know you're... you're going after the people who k*lled your godson.

And?

You're entitled to your vengeance, but around here, people don't take too kindly to decapitated heads and bodies hanging from bridges.

That's not my plan.

Well, maybe not, but, uh, those Cajuns you're hunting...they're a nasty bunch.

How do you know who they are?

LAFAYETTE: I saw the... the security footage at the hospital.

A couple of your boys dragging out at gunpoint a girlfriend of a certain b*mb-maker.

So you know who I'm looking for.

Oh, I do, and that's why I'm going to insist that Randall and his men accompany you on your little hunting expedition.

I don't need your help.

It's not a request.



You see, I have a vested interest in your safety, Miss Mendoza.



After all, we're partners.



(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

Neither Victor nor Mendoza make it out of the bayou alive.
Understood?

We'll get it done.



We found the house, patrona,

but we can't tell how many people are in there.

RANDALL: They got security, at least two of them.

Armed.

We should split up, box them in.

We'll come from the west.

Your people should come from the south.

I want Victor alive.

We can take out the guards, then fire a warning sh*t, order Victor to come out.

We'll wait for nightfall.

Then we hit them.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

(YELLS)



(CRIES OUT)



(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

POTE: Teresa, no!

(CRIES OUT)



(SUSPENSFUL MUSIC)

I'm not here to hurt you.

Just tell me who hired you.



(g*nsh*t)

POTE: Teresa!

Got here just in time.

I said I wanted him alive.

I had no choice.

He was gonna k*ll you.

You jumped the g*n, cabrón.

You almost got Teresa k*lled.

Well, swamp rats fired first.

(SPEAKS SPANISH) That's bullshit.

Hey, I'm the one that just saved your boss!

I suggest you watch your tone.

Or what, cabrón, huh? What?

Let's go.

(LINE TRILLING)

Good news, I hope.

RANDALL: Not exactly.

Victor's dead.

sh*t him before he could talk, but Teresa got away.

How the hell did that happen?

RANDALL: Her men were everywhere.

Couldn't get a sh*t without showing our hand.

You said it had to be clean.

Don't quote me to cover your failure, boy.

I give you one simple task to complete, and you blew it.

Now how the hell you gonna fix it?

Got an idea.

I'll call you back.

You better.

(DEVICE BEEPS)

Time for your pill.

(AMBIENT MUSIC)

I hope you're feeling better.



A day or two more, you'll be right as rain, as my mother used to say.

You gave us quite a scare, son.



All that talk of a damsel in distress and m*rder on the bayou.

Amazing, how the mind can play tricks on us.



Your mother always said the... the nightmares were the worst part of the disease.

Pity you inherited her weakness.



You know, you just... you just rest now.

You'll be up and about in no time.



POTE: This is him.

(UNEASY MUSIC)



Thank you.

I'll make some arrangements.



It was the coroner's office.



Tony's remains are ready for pickup.



He was a good boy.



Our relationship was complicated, but I loved him like he was my own.



And I failed him.



We both did.

JAVIER: Patrona.

Randall is here.



(CRIES OUT)



What is this?

Tell her what you told me.



Spit it out.



The men who hired Victor to plant the bombs were from Miami.



Cubans.



Get him out of here.



Uh, if I told them that, you said you'd let me go.



You said you'd let me go!

I'll take care of him.



Call George.



Tell him we're going to Miami.

(UPBEAT SYNTH MUSIC)

GEORGE: (LAUGHS) Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?

Welcome to Miami, principessa.

- George.
- (KISSES)

Thank you for being here.
I appreciate it.

Sorry about Tony.

Thank you.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Oh!



Look at the Justice League here!

We got Chewy, Javi...

Even the Wild Man from Sinaloa.

JAVIER: (SPEAKS SPANISH) cabrón.

BOAZ: Oh, cabrón.

GEORGE: What's up, guapo?

(LAUGHS) How's it going, George?

GEORGE: Hey.

You ready for this?



We're family.



Let's do it.



Just got word that Mendoza and her men are in Miami.

(SERENE CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Tying the att*ck on her shipment to the b*mb was a stroke of genius.

If Mendoza thinks her enemies are in Miami, she'll follow that trail right off the cliff.

Ah, that's the hope, anyway.

Hope's got nothing to do with it.



Revenge is like blinders on a horse.

Keeps all the other avenues hidden from view.



Still, Mendoza's a fighter.

I wouldn't bet against her in Miami.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Well, then, maybe we need to hedge our bet.



(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

POTE: So this is where it all happens?

A tanning salon?

TERESA: It's a cash business.

It's a good cover.

GEORGE: Elias got a string of these places where he washes dirty money.

This here's a headquarters.

He's got a back room where he processes the coke.

That's where we'll find our stolen product.

And if we're lucky, Elias.

(SPEAKS SPANISH) _

GEORGE: That's one of his drug mules.

No one ever suspects 'em.

Beauty makes for a great cover

and distraction.

And that's the third distraction since we've been here.

I'm liking this town a lot more.

Javier?

Patrona.

(SPEAKING SPANISH) _

Eh?

We're not gonna hurt you.

I just need to know how it works.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)



I'm sorry. Can I have your cell phone?

I need to call my boyfriend.



DAVIS: Damn it.

Oh, my God.

The police?



(CELL PHONE BEEPS)



(DOOR CLATTERS)

(LATIN POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Hola.

How can I help you?

We'd like to have a session, please.

Separate rooms.

(LAUGHS)

$ .



Okay, rooms four and five.



Straight down that hall.

Gracias.



(KEY CLATTERS)



(SPEAKS SPANISH)



(LINE TRILLING)

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

- Yeah.
- POTE: We're in position.



Down the hall. Make a left.

The blue door.

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Hola.

How can I help you?

I'm here for the South Beach Special.



Thank you.



(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Hey, hey.

Hola.

You, uh, here for a tan?

Let me ask you a question.

Are the Speedos optional?



Bikini lines ruin the aesthetics of my frame.

See, I prefer to tan au naturel, if you know what I mean.



- (ATTENDANT LAUGHS)
- (CELL PHONE BUZZES)



Hands up, darling. No, no.

Don't touch that panic button.

Don't... don't sh**t!

- Elias! Elias!
- I'm Nacho! I'm...

- No!
- Shut up!

(NACHO GASPING)

I don't know who you are, but do you know who you're messing with?

My name is Teresa Mendoza.

I'm the one who k*lled El Gordo, and that is my cocaine you're processing.



What do you want from me?

Tell me where Elias is.



Don't worry. He found you.



(SHOTGUN f*ring)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)



Where's the back door?

I don't...

(SPUTTERS AND YELLS)

(DISTANT g*nf*re)

Chewy!

We got company!



(a*t*matic g*nf*re)

(SPEAKING SPANISH) _

(SPEAKING SPANISH) _ No, no, no, no, no.

Heads up, George! George!

- JAVIER: Entra, entra!



(SIRENS WAILING)



Been a while since you, um... paid us a visit here.

The affairs of our city keep my dance card pretty full.

I'm sure you understand.

I remember the night you opened this place, hmm?

Ah, you put the town on notice.

There... there was a new boss in the quarter.

It was a memorable night.

To see you grow from that little teenaged boy selling dime bags on the corner to the powerful man you've become...

I like to think I had a little something to do with that.

(LAUGHS)

You rounded off some corners.

(LAUGHS)

We had a good run, Marcel.

Been through a lot together.

I suspect this, uh, stroll down Memory Lane is leading to a point.

Teresa Mendoza... she's becoming a problem.

Her people have bought nothing but chaos and bloodshed.

And a very sizeable source of revenue.

True, at a cost.

But who am I telling?

You know that more than anyone after Bobby's m*rder.

- We buried that hatchet.
- LAFAYETTE: Mm.

Well, I want you to unbury it.

All due respect, Judge,

I think that may be a bit short-sighted.

Mm.

Mendoza has enemies.

You protect her, those enemies become yours.

You mean you.

I-I didn't think this would be such a challenge for you, Marcel.

After all, you people have a history of k*lling each other.

(DARK MUSIC)

When that levee breaks, I need to know I can count on you.



Yeah.



(WHISPERING IN SPANISH) _

Patrona, Boaz isn't picking up.

Pilot says he's ready.

We shouldn't stay here any longer, Teresita.

Chewy's right.
We should call back to NOLA, regroup, come back with an army, and finish this.

We could take Nacho with us.

We're not leaving until we find Elias.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

JAVIER: (SPEAKING SPANISH) _ cabrón?

I barely made it out.

The others?

They weren't so lucky.

(DARK MUSIC)





Tell us where Elias is, or they will make you talk the Sinaloa way.



(HEAVY MODERN MUSIC PLAYING)

(TENSE MUSIC)



Do it.



(LINE TRILLING)

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

Nacho.

NACHO: They tried to grab me, but I got away.

I got one of them in my trunk.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

What did you say?

_

NACHO: He's... he's in my trunk.

He's alive?

_

He's talking.

ELIAS: What did he say?

He said that they're hiding out in the old factory off the interstate.



How many?

NACHO: Five, including her.



I'm sending Indio.

Get your ass to the house.

Bring him to me.

(SCOFFS) I'm on my way.




They're at the factory off the interstate.

Take everyone.

I want that puta and her people dead.

Dead!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(SUSPENS♪ UL MUSIC)

(LINE TRILLING)

TERESA: Elias' men are on their way.

We'll be ready.



- They're coming.
- Well, we'll be ready for them.

Let's give them hell.

POTE: Your men are dead, cabrón.

(LAUGHS)

Hear me, pendejo.

I'm gonna find you.

You know what I'ma do? Mm?

POTE: Turn around.

(TENSE MUSIC)



You k*lled my godson.



You got it wrong.

I didn't k*ll him.

But you k*lled my uncle.



I don't believe you.



(LAUGHS) You're gonna k*ll me either way, right?



So you know what?

I didn't k*ll him...



But now I wish I had.

He would've suffered.

It wouldn't be quick, either.

(g*nsh*t)



POTE: It's done.



(DOORBELL RINGS)

(GENTLE JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)



(LAUGHS)

You starting early, I see.

Boy, at my age, you never know how long you got.

(LAUGHS)



Good to see you, Marcel.

Lucien.

Thanks for seeing me.

Have a seat.



He takes it neat.



That looks good.



So I know you didn't come out here just to sample my fine whiskey.



Judge paid me a visit.



Who is it?



It's Mendoza.



What you gonna do?

I'm weighing my options.

Options?

We've been living under the thumb of that man and his family for generations.

There's a reason why.

I know.

This woman is a major player.

I'm telling you...

You ain't telling me nothing.



You think you special all of a sudden?

After all these years, you're just gonna topple the judge?

I know I can't do it by myself, Lucien!

Together, with her, we got a sh*t.



I thought I taught you better than that, boy.

You forgot what you are?

Judge Lafayette and his kind always win.

sh*t, it's been like this since time immemorial.

Ain't nothing ever gonna change, ever, so get that sh*t out of your head.



Listen, son, I understand the desire.

When I was in your shoes, I wanted to make a move.

sh*t, I could've b*rned this whole town down.



But you know what saved me?

I remembered where I was.



You'd do well to do the same.



Hello?

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)



_



Emilia's not here, but I know where to find her.



It's done.

Got your vengeance.

Tony can rest in peace.

Not yet.

Elias didn't k*ll Tony.

What are you talking about?

I looked into his eyes.

He was telling the truth.



Well, if not Elias, then who?



I don't know.

But I'm gonna find out.

Speaking of vengeance, I never got to ask you about Birdie.



I don't need details.

I just need to know that she was properly avenged.

(DOOR OPENS)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)



They're all here.



Thank you all for coming.



As you know, Elias is dead.

Anyone who bought from him can now buy from me.

There are plenty of suppliers in Miami.

Why should we buy from you?

El Gordo stepped on the product he sold you.

His profits went up, but the quality went down.

Now that he's gone, no more middleman.

If you buy from me, you'll get pure cocaine at wholesale prices. Everyone wins.

Generous deal. What's the catch?

No catch, but if you walk away, you will not be a customer.

You will be a competitor.

(SYNTH MUSIC)

You hold up your end, we'll hold up ours.



I look forward to working with you all.



JAVIER: Patrona.



_

(TENSE CRESCENDO MUSIC)



Would you like a job?

You start tomorrow.

Gracias.

How do you feel about Miami?

Weather, women... what's not to like?

Good.

I'd like you to run it.

You won't regret it, jefa.

(DANCE MUSIC)



POTE: Are you sure you want to give Boaz

the keys to all this?

TERESA: People don't know us here.

If anyone steps out of line, he'll send the right message.



You trust him now?

No, but here, we can keep an eye on him, and send someone else to Sinaloa.



(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

Marcel.

Judge came by my...my office today.

He's making a move against you.

I just paid him $ million.

Why would he make a move against me?

DUMAS: I don't know, but listen.

Teresa, he wants you dead.

Okay? In the ground.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

I just want you to know.



I'm all in.



Thank you.

Yeah. You get back safe.

I'll be here.



Lafayette k*lled Tony.



Puta madre.



We pay him a lot of money.
Why would he do that?

It must be personal.

He's coming for us.

How you want to handle this?

He owns New Orleans, Teresita.

If we k*ll him, they'll come after us with everything.

Police, locals.

We cannot come back from that.

I know.

Orale, then. Pues we burn it all.



This is my town.
