"Previously on Queen of the South..." "You leave me now, you die." "What did she do to you?" "That puta and Guero stole from me." "If you find this girl, let me know." "Epifanio has men everywhere looking for her." "Whatever he wants her for, it's very important." "Important enough to pretend she doesn't mean anything." "The second she takes an interest in you, it's gonna be harder for you to get out." "Just do small things when you're asked." "She'll get bored with you." "When life gave you a choice about what to do with the man that stole from us..." "Just let him go." "You chose mercy." "That was the wrong choice." "Women in this business, we cannot afford to look weak." "When I agreed to do this, I didn't mean antagonizing one of the largest businessmen in Sinaloa." "Everything my husband has, I help him build." "So if you're afraid of him, you have to be afraid of me too." "Teresa, where are you?" "Why aren't you here?"

"I've texted you both deliveries." "These are the addresses." "The first one is Sandra." "She's expecting you." "You deliver; you bring the money back to Camila's club." "It's this one." "Okay?" "You do not stop on your journey." "That's how you get robbed or killed." "I don't care if you hit something... a cat, a dog, a priest." "You do not stop." "Is that clear?" "Here's the key." "You might have to pump the gas a few times to start it." "If you get busted, you say nothing." "You just give them this card." "It's a lawyer." "You don't say anything." "I think I've proven that already." "Yeah, and it's been proven to me that people need reminding." "So remember what I've been telling you." "You've been given a job to do." "So be smart, and don't even think about running." "I guarantee you that shit will not work." "Yeah." "She's leaving now." "Jerry Collins, your client is waiting in the showroom." "Jerry to the showroom, please." "Camila, so good to see you." "Jerry." "Let me get you an espresso." "We have your favorite, Kopi Luwak, straight from Sumatra." "Nobody else in Dallas can get it."

"Gifts, that's very gracious." "Fully loaded, all the bells and whistles." "There's a service we've been offering to our select customers:" "bulletproof glass, armor tech doors." "It's very popular in Qatar." "What am I looking at with that?" " I'm not so gracious." " I understand." "Good decision." "Shall we discuss colors?" "Um, ruby red, emerald green, beluga black, and white." "When can you have them delivered?" "The custom colors are going to take a few weeks, but I can get you the white one immediately." "Send the paperwork to my office." "_" "_" "_" "_" "_" "_" "_" "_" "That's Eduardo..." "People don't like people who talk so much, Tony." "How many times do I have to tell you that?" "Open your mouth only when you're eating, yeah?" "Okay." "Brenda." "_" "_" "Say hi." "Say hi." "Hi, Teresa." "I miss you." "I miss you, chiquito." "Okay, well, I can't wait to..." "Yeah, yeah."

"Usually it's hell around this time." "You must be lucky." "You ever thought about going to the casinos?" "Go ahead, use the counter over there." "It's cool." "Last time I went to the casinos, I won $53." "You see, that morning," "I lost a $53 pair of sunglasses." "My girlfriend at the time, she was pissed." "She gave them to me." "But out of spite, I went back in there and won my money back." "Five minutes on that blackjack table." "Whoo-hoo!" "So you from Mexico or Guatemala?" "Mexico." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Know how to cook that Mexican food?" "Yeah, I do." "My grandmother taught me how to cook." "Hell yeah." "Yeah, I like women that can cook." "I could sit still for that." "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." "Truth is, when it comes to me and food," "I'm so country, the last time I had a seven-course meal, it was possum and a six-pack of beer." "Oh, good shit." "Oh, yeah." "How about you?" "You want to do a line?" "No, I'm good." "I like my women high." "And can cook." "Wendell!" "Ah, shit." "Oh, shit." "Hey, hey, hey, be careful."

"Oh, I remember many things, including the amounts of money you used to make before I left." "So you've been paying attention all the way from Texas?" "Enough to know that now that Batman runs things, you don't own a part of the building anymore." "Sometimes you have to accept the way things are going." "Or not." "You know, because if things go back the way they used to be, it's so much sweeter." "When have you ever known me not to have a plan?" "I like what I'm hearing." "Keep talking." "Changes are coming." "I'll be in touch." "Like I said, there's a flower that grows in the darkness," "Lirio de los Valles." "So many reasons it shouldn't exist." "It must be celebrated." "You are one of those flowers."
