Of course, Ramon also implied she was a puta when they first met too - he's an asshole as well.
'He cared about all of us. He and Raul...' Ramon isn't from a time where this sort of thing is talked about much, so it's difficult to find the right words, '...I think they've worked together since before I was born. And...you know.'
He shrugs, has another shot and picks up his fork.
'They probably killed him on purpose. Everyone knows what Raul will do once we find out who's behind it. Or what he'll ask me to do, anyway - he's not really active himself. More an advisor. But that doesn't make sense. No one will willingly want us after them unless it's some kind of trap and they think they can take us out.'
Which is probably exactly what this is about. Everyone knows Ramon is the one who does most of the dirty work - his father doesn't dirty his hands so much any more. In the interests of education, the son can do what needs to be done and it's just a bonus that he enjoys it. It's even fair really, as he'll be taking over one day. But if a rival lures him out and kills him, it pretty much ends the future of the Salazar cartel.
As for allegiances - well, Fiona may not yet know that Ramon ends up killing Hector but she can probably tell from his behviour that the brothers are not the closest they could be. With his father and uncle not going to be around forever, she'll realise why the cartel ended up being a one man show.
