Pote: I’m not with Teresa anymore. I’m retired.
Chicho: Pote?
Pote: I’m about to have a family, a new life. You need to take care of Teresa now, Chicho. It’s your job. Don’t let me down.
Chicho: I won’t.

To the outside world he looks respectable but like the devil himself he lives in the shadows.

Amara

James: Teresa isn’t a threat. She just wants to be left in peace.
Devon: But you know it doesn’t work like that. Nobody gets out including you. You know what has to be done. Belize is nice this time of year.

Kelly Anne: You know, last night when I said you weren’t a soldier anymore…
Pote: You were right, Kelly Anne.
Kelly Anne: No, I wasn’t. You’re my soldier and our baby’s too. Okay?

You know people equate crazy with stupid and I’m neither. Everyone’s going to find out soon enough.

Boaz

Osvaldo: Boaz would have killed my family in Mexico. Better me than them. So come on. Get on with it.
Pote: Let me tell you something, Cabron, if my woman dies I’m going to be the one visiting your family. And I can promise you one thing, I’ll do a lot worse than Boaz.

I’ve known Boaz my whole life. He killed his own brother so your little lady is as good as dead. Sorry, I just pray to God that he takes his time.

Osvaldo

Boaz: I don’t think you ever understood the darker side of this business, Teresa.
Teresa: You're wrong. I understand perfectly.

We allow people like you to exist so that when we call on you for the greater good, you answer without hesitation.

Devon

Boaz: This Isn’t personal. I’ve always liked you. I don’t want to hurt you or your baby. When this is all over, I promise you’re going to walk away.
Kelly Anne: Pote’s going to kill you for this.
Boaz: If Pote were half the man you say he is, you wouldn’t be here now.

Pote: I will not go down without a fight. I will either bring Kelly Anne home or I will die trying but I will not hand you over.
Teresa: We chose this life. Your baby didn’t. I’m going in with you.

Teresa: Where is he?
Boaz: George? Your gringo spy? He’s with your godson, little Tony. But don’t worry, Jefa. Your whole family will be together again soon. Even Pote and his baby mama.
Teresa: I’m going to fucking kill you.
Boaz: Not if I get you first.

Queen of the South Quotes

You could say that I am living proof that the American dream is alive and well.

Teresa

My name is Teresa Mendoza. I am from Mexico. I was born poor, not that that's bad but take it from me, I've been poor and I've been rich. Rich is better.
