Previously on "Queen of the South"...
Oleg.
A pleasure to hear from you, darling.
Is everything in place for our shipment tomorrow?
Something came up.
The meeting with de la Peña needs to happen now.
Rocco is a very busy man.
Who are you?
He was close to Javier.
You have a good reputation, Teresa Mendoza.
I'd be happy to have a new partner.
Me too.
Teresa protected that Russian bitch
over her own blood?
Teresa may be the boss's cartel.
I'm still the boss's family.
I would like you to introduce me to your cousin Kostya.
If Kostya pays you a surprise visit,
he's the last person you will ever see.
Say the word, and I'll take care of this pendejo
once and for all.
There was no way I was gonna let the pinche juez live,
not after what he did to Javier and Emilia.
It's real simple between you and me.
You're like the sister I never had.
So I'm always gonna be looking out for you.
They're coming.
But I'll be ready for them. Let's give 'em hell.
Adios, amigos.
You sure you wanna give Boaz the keys to all of this?
Do you trust him now?
No. But here, we can keep an eye on him.
Go back to Miami, Boaz. Take care of the business.
Don't cross me again.
♪
What is this?
Holy shit!
"Jefa, do your bank thing. Love, Boaz."
Is this a joke?
Oh, God. No, the banker called me yesterday
and said they can't accept any more dirty cash
until we move the previously laundered money.
Why didn't you tell me until today?
I'm so sorry. They called me when I was at the OBGYN.
So... obviously, we have too much money.
How do we fix it?
We have to spend big.
- How big? - Like a...
new waterfront property every three months big.
Yes.
Teresa, I'm in New Orleans. Where are you?
I'm at the bar.
Is there a problem?
Yes.
Can you meet with me?
It's extremely urgent.
What happened?
I have a problem with Simon Durand.
Who is Simon Durand?
Black market antiques dealer.
Used to work out of Berlin.
Still does.
I made a side deal with him
for a surplus of our high-end molly.
He paid me with a fake Vermeer
and then flew back to Germany
before I had a chance to figure it out.
He pay you with a painting?
It's not uncommon.
It's much easier to move a $15 million painting
than 15 million in cash.
And it's untraceable.
Exactly.
Does Kostya know about this?
No.
And he can't.
He promised that surplus of molly to a buyer in Chicago.
Can't you just get a new shipment?
No, we...
we move our labs every month to avoid raids.
And we won't be back up and running for another week.
The exchange is in three days.
♪
Anyway, I came here hoping
that I could get back the shipment that I sold you.
It's already been sold.
♪
Trust is everything with Kostya.
If he finds out I went behind his back...
He'll kill you.
♪
At this rate, we're able to double our order in a week.
Just don't forget what I taught you.
You don't want to move fast
and then be sitting on a shipment.
I hear you, but we got this.
- You want to count it? - Nah.
I know what 100 grand looks like.
Besides, I don't think you'd be stupid enough to cross me.
Hey, you slow your roll there, Bluto.
You tell that sexy little salamander it's King George!
He loves me.
Let him up.
Oh.
What you looking at, pretty eyes?
Where is he?
Yeah! Come on.
- Who's that? - What are you doing, cabrón?
Aw, you know what?
New Orleans is a shit show
'cause of the Lafayette investigation.
I had a shipment coming in.
I pitched Miami.
Should've let me know.
Ah, you know what, truthfully,
I didn't even know it was gonna work.
I mean, DEA's been crawling all over these ports,
but it was baby smooth.
I'm thinking it could be a regular thing.
Come on, what do you think?
Florida sunshine, mojitos,
Cuban ladies, you and me hangin'.
And by hangin',
I mean completely destroying our livers.
Ah, that's what I'm talkin' about!
Come on!
- Come on. - Show me the space.
What we gonna do?
♪
I just wanted something of my own, you know?
Without Kostya just squeezing the life out of it.
Yes, I... I have enough money
to live comfortably off the grid.
Tell Kostya I bought the shipment for double its value.
He's going to want to see that money, Teresa.
Then I'll lend it to you.
We're talking about millions of dollars
that you won't see any return on.
Let me worry about that.

Kostya.

What did he say?
Ha.
He's already sold it.
Delivery is due in two days.
There is no way out.

Man, this house is the cat's pajamas.
How much a spread like this set you back?
Come on.
Ask Tiger Woods.
He lives down the street.
No shit?
- No shit. - You mean El Tigre?
- El Tigre.
Man. Well, you earned it, brother.
Hey.
I want to tell you something.
I'm a big fan of what you did with Lafayette.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
I hope you carved that turkey nice and slow.
Yeah, I did what I had to do.
I would have done the same thing.
Maybe not the decapitation part.
I ain't never like severed heads.
You ever seen that movie, "Return to Oz"?
-Creepy as... ugh.
But besides that, damn, I wish I was there.
Yeah.
That would have been good.
Could have done him like we did Cortez.
Oh, man.
Both those bastards got what they deserved.
Mm-hmm.
And I personally think that it is bullshit
that Teresa came down on you so hard about it.
I mean, after everything that happened with Javier,
it ain't right.
Yeah. Well, she's the boss.
And I answer to her.
Come on, now.
You ain't still steamin'?
This is Javier we're talking about.
Ha.

But Teresa didn't kill him.

And to be honest...
My heart hurts too much to be angry.
I hear you, brother.
You're a bigger man than me.

If you're a husky white man with a beard, she's eyeing you.
There's only one way to find out.
Lead the way.
You're the engine, I'm the caboose.
We have to help her get the molly back.
In Germany?
Yes.
She's been cutting deals behind Kostya's back.
How do we know she won't do the same to us?
We don't.
But if we lose her, we lose Kostya.
We're gonna meet Simon Durand.
Teresa,
if Kostya finds out you're involved,
he will kill us both.
We're going to Berlin.
♪
Nice.
Durand fences stolen property
for drug lords and arms dealers.
How do we get to him?
You must have a stolen high-value work of art
or antiquity to sell.
Do we need to steal a piece of art?
Yes.
Durand's head of security, Alphonse Lange, vets it.
And he's got an impeccable bullshit detector.
The stolen art's our way in.
So where can we find a piece of art to steal?
This is Berlin, comrade.
Fortunately for us,
it is everywhere for the taking.

Ay, I don't wanna dip too deep into your stash.
No worries, George.

Come on. Come on, sucker fish. Come to papa.

Hey, baby girl! I was just about to call you.
Your coke is awesome.
Did I ever tell you that?
George, I sent you there to keep an eye on Boaz
and learn about the Miami operation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I... I got it.
I just had to do a little blow just to get him to
lower his guard, you know what I mean?
And right now, boom, I just bought you a boat, baby girl!
I mean, I got deal on it and everything.
It's a DEA seizure, but don't worry.
They never look for the same boat twice.
What are you talking about?
It's got a helipad and everything.
I think... What am I talking about?
You can't have a helipad and not have a helicopter.
Should I buy you a helicopter?
George, do not buy a helicopter.
It sounds to me like you want me to buy you a helicopter.
That's what I'm gonna do.
I need to know if he's loyal.
Oh... hold on a second.
Little bastard's a hell of a party animal
and a damn good dancer,
but I ain't seen nothing that says he's unloyal.
If anything, you know,
maybe he's a little heartbroken.
Can I trust him?
He says you're the boss.
What should I do?
Keep an eye on him.
But be ready.
I may need you to step in over there.
Whatever you need, I got your back.
Always.
Be careful.
You don't have to worry about me.
I always got it. Talk soon.
"Can you get permanent brain damage
from sleep deprivation?"

He thinks I have nothing to worry about.
Hmm.

About time.
You're welcome.
Thank you.

I told you she was the real deal.
We'll see.
This was recently stolen.
A client couldn't make a payment and only had this.
I wanna sell it and get my money.

Great.
Because I have more works of art,

Of course.
Discretion is the key to Mr. Durand's business.
Does this mean we can meet with him?
It means I'll speak with Mr. Durand.
We'll be in touch.
Lange will call.
I don't know what I was thinking,
making a side deal with Durand.
Ambition got the better of me.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to grow your business.
You know, since the day we met, I've been inspired by you,
what you've been able to accomplish on your own.
It's impressive.
I mean, yeah, I've built a successful business in Atlanta,
but Kostya helped me.
Because of that, I will always be under his thumb.
Maybe it won't always be that way.
Maybe.

Are you okay, Kelly Anne? What's wrong?
I'm worried Teresa thinks I'm distracted.
Why would you think that?
How could she not?
I haven't found a lawyer for Dumas,
forgot to tell her about Boaz and her money problems.
