TERESA: Previously on Queen of the South...

LEO: El Santo has a guy who has to vet you before you meet him.

They call him El Dentista.

Don't be nervous.

It's part of his process.

Are you aware of the word moyocoyotzin?

It is time for you to create yourself, Teresa Mendoza.

Be careful, mi'ja.

Guero?

Pote, he's not breathing.

Guero?
