TERESA: Previously on "Queen of the South."

TERESA: Tony's video game.

ALONZO: It's a tracking device.

That must be how they found you.

It was a gift from James.

-The last time we met-- -You tried to k*ll me.

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

You know that.

How does Teresa get in contact with El Santo?

I don't know.

No, Teresa!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Three of them are standing here.

TERESA: The sheriff works for us now.

POTE: You made a deal with the devil, Teresita.

There's more where that came from.

Weeks of it.

He's been recording us.

He put a tracker on little Tony's Game Boy.

He could have done the same with Guero's medallion.

While you two were...

[dramatic music]

You know.

So this is U.S. m*llitary?

Well, I can't say for sure.

But what I can tell you is this is some incredibly high-tech sh*t.

I shut it down as soon as you gave it to me, but you're not being tracked anymore.

TERESA: Somebody here planted that one on me.

Can we use this?

To track someone?

Absolutely.

It'll take some time, the innards and such.

Do it.

Thank you.

If he still wants to talk, have him reach out.

I'll call you back.

Hey, look, I've been making some calls about trying to find a new connect just in case.

El Santo wants to meet.

He's here.

Where, Phoenix?

Near Taza's reservation.

We need to talk.

I know what's going on with you and El Santo.

I've never met the man.

Bullshit.

You found him through us, and you're the reason he's dead.

James, there are two kinds of people in the world, those that gives orders and those that take them.

You're a son of a bitch that just doesn't know his place.

You're the son of the bitch who's about to have his rat k*lled and their carcass left on his doorstep.

Then I waited to see what would happen.

I didn't have to wait long.

She fled the winery.

Devon must have told her the game was up.

Are there any calls from Devon here?

I'm sure he told her to delete them.

And they put this in my room to frame me.

So it's your word against hers.

JAMES: Well, she hasn't confessed, if that's what you're asking.

But that won't take me long.

I can't believe this.

But you had no problem suspecting me.

POTE: You want me to talk to her?

I will.

[whispers]

I can explain.

Okay, this isn't what you think.

James is trying to save himself.

You have to believe me.


He's been lying to you, Teresa.

When he tried to seduce you, it was all part of his plan.

What plan?

He's been in bed with Devon this entire time.

James is the one lying to you, not me.

Think about it.

At the winery, Devon shows up looking for El Santo, and all of a sudden, El Santo's dead.

And then--then you find a bug in James' room.

I mean, I know you have feelings for him, but you can't let that cloud your judgment.

I never told you about the bug.

All of it.

After the winery, he found me...alone.

Devon?

Hey, Kelly Anne.

-No.

-Hey, it's okay.

-I'm not gonna hurt you.

-What do you want from me?

Your help getting closer to El Santo.

We found his factory, but we want him.

I already told you, I don't know where he is.

But Teresa does.

Your proximity to her puts her in an ideal situation to acquire that information for us.

Us?

-So you're a cop?

-No, not exactly.

And you want me to rat on her?

You can wine-board me all you want, man.

I'm not gonna help you.

My loyalty is to Teresa.

You know, El Santo...

is on a whole other level of criminal.

When he's done with Teresa, he will not only k*ll her, he will throw her into a 55-gallon barrel of oil, light it, and watch her sear to death.

You can help save Teresa's life.

I think you know what needs to be done.

Devon told me that El Santo was gonna k*ll you.

And I just wanted to protect you.

I know it sounds crazy.
