Many find season 5 was Jeresa poor. It left out some crucial moments like Jeresa planning to escape the narco life together. We know such a conversation took place as James and Teresa announced it to Pote together.
Here is my version of the conversation that had to take place after Teresa hung up with Oxana in E8 S5 Todo Lo Que Toco.
J: You shouldn’t have told her all this over the phone. The kill team Kostya sent were ex KGB. These people have access to all sorts of modern technology and could be tapping cell phones.
Silence….
T: Say it…just say it…
J: This is the second time in two weeks that you push me to speak my mind……
T: I feel like there’s an ocean between us…..
J: Teresa, things are the way you wanted them to be….. I support your decision to get out of the business………ultimately all these are your decisions……
T: I had no choice but to learn to make all decisions alone……..it was very difficult ….after Tony died, and you were gone, and I couldn’t, no matter what I did, I couldn’t win with the Judge and everything was always hanging in the air………I know I have done horrible things, but I am still the same person….the person you used to talk to….
J: I am sorry I could not be here for you…….to protect you and Tony…
T: You did protect me… working for Devon……you stayed when I pushed you away a month ago and you forgave me for suspecting you back in Phoenix………you have always been there for me one way or another……..thank you…….
J: We are in this together, remember?
T: I remember…………did you suspect any part of his plan…….Devon’s plan to make us work for him..…I mean when you worked for him?
J: No, I failed to see the long game big time………..now it’s clear to me that all the random gangsters we removed were possible competition for you…..….
T: James, I don’t feel like I can do this anymore…… it was an illusion to think that if I got too big to fail, I can be safe……..we can never be safe in this life…….Boaz killed George…..he said he was with Tony now……dead….I don’t want to, I can’t lose another member of my family…….I am so scared for Kelly Anne ….
J: Let’s not write Pote off just yet, he is very good at what he does………your plan is good if Oxana succeeds and takes your place, Devon may just let us escape. ….If Oxana doesn’t succeed, then it becomes really scary. ….We’ll have to make him believe he doesn't need to go after us. But we can’t go there yet….
T: And you’ll come with me, escape with me?
J: Like you said, I have always been there for you……..there’s no place I’d rather be……than here with you….don’t know about you, but I need a drink, a large one………….do you want one?
T: Yes, whatever you are having……..
Having the drink.
T: You had this same jacket the day I met you…
J: Yeah, I know ….it shows…on the sleeves especially…….but this is the jacket I have for this life……if we get out, I will get a new one, promise…
