04x06 - Into the Black

[bunniefuu]

That's 150 grand less than we agreed on.

I spoke to Rahul.

He needs a couple of weeks to get the balance.

[TIRES SCREECH]

- Your watch.

- Are you joking?

Pay your bills, shithead.

Adrian's working with Jack.

You should have told me he was your boyfriend.

Deran Cody.

He's got a record.

I know you've been moving sh*t for Jack.

Yeah, and that is my business, so back off!

- [GRUNTS]

- Come on, badass.

Get up.

[GRUNTS]

- Hey.

- Can I crash here tonight?

Do you think people can change?

Janine's got an idea for a job.

There's a hippie compound out in Laguna Beach.

They're sitting on a ton of cash.

Your mother was diagnosed with an aggressive and advanced melanoma.

She has cancer.

What about my brothers?

What are you gonna tell them?

I'm not.

And neither are you.

She stares deeply Locked inside me Burnin' brightly One they know that I cannot take Waitin' for it all to begin Every night now, they'll win Come and meet my black hole Got a big black hole Got a big black hole I've got a big black hole I've got a big black, big black hole Got a big black hole inside of me Got a [INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Here you go.

Thank you, baby.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[GLASSES CLINK]

[EXHALES]

State Police have got someone talking to them about you and your boys.

Who?

Somebody close to your family.

Where did you hear that?

I was The Cove tonight with some of the guys who were still on the force.

What do they got?

I don't know.

Probably not much yet.

Yet?

What are you waiting for?

You waiting for them to show up at my door with a warrant?

- Is that what you want, Neal?

- Take it easy.

If I start asking questions, people are gonna get suspicious.

Not my problem, baby.

I'll find out what I can, okay?

Is there any chance of this blowing back on me?

Anybody else know about our arrangement?

Any of your boys?

Your deep concern for my welfare is very touching, Neal.

Come on, Smurf.

I'm giving you the heads-up, aren't I?

I always protect my people, baby.

I'm not your people.

Course you are.

[WAVES CRASHING]

ADRIAN: I cooperated.

I'm supposed to be done now.

You're not done until I say you're done.

Next time he calls you, you answer him.

I don't know what you think I can help you with.

Deran's not involved in anything illegal.

He He's a guy who owns a bar.

Deran's mother had him and his three brothers pulling robberies for her ever since they were in junior high.

Well, he hates his mom.

And maybe she did have him doing stuff as a kid, but he doesn't want anything to do with her now.

If that's what he's telling you, then he's lying.

So, I looked at your sheet got a couple of dipshit offenses as a minor, and I don't know what kind of jam you're in where you're smuggling coke, but you're not a bad guy, Adrian.

The Codys are dangerous.

They're violent criminals.

Including your boyfriend.

You recognize this guy?

It's Benito Oxcama, they call him "Ox"?

Cops found his body in a Mexican landfill.

He's been dead awhile.

Ox goes back a ways with Deran.

They spent time together in juvie.

Looks like Ox maybe outlived his usefulness.

Deran's not who you think he is.

PEARCE: If you ever lie for him, you ever say he's somewhere he wasn't, that makes you an accessory to as*ault, robberies, and murders all of it.

You can help yourself here Just don't wait too long 'cause we're moving on this thing.

We're taking down Jack Muntean's warehouse today, make sure you're nowhere near it.

[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Hey.

Where were you?

I went for a run.

At 6:00 in the morning?

I'm in training.

I thought we were done with this sh*t.

I went for a run.

That's bullshit.

Are you cheating on me?

Yeah.

Yes.

I-I'm cheating on you.

Um I meet an elderly gentleman under the pier every morning at 6:00 a. m. , and I-I got the day started with a toothless blowie.

[LAUGHS]

I couldn't sleep, alright?

Got the North Shore coming up in a coupl'a weeks.

I actually have a decent rating now, so I'm feeling like I got something to lose.

Okay?

Alright.

I'm gonna go up and shower.

[MOANS]

SMURF: Morning, baby.

Morning.

- What happened to your face?

- [EXHALES SHARPLY]

I got sucked punched outside a club by some drunk assh*le.

- Did you?

- [SIGHS]

You might want to put a little aloe on it.

I need you to do something for me, J.

Okay.

Someone is talking to the cops.

Someone very close to us.

Have you boys been cautious?

Who else knew about the Frankie job?

No one, I don't think.

We used to be much more careful about who we trusted.

Now, I need you to find out who your uncles are talking to.

And phones.

We all need new phones.

Go out, buy a bunch of burners, and just pass 'em out.

Pope and Angela They seem pretty close.

If someone is talking, you are gonna handle it.

You want to know what it feels like to be in charge, J?

This is what it feels like to be in charge.

[ENGINE REVS IN DISTANCE]

[BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE]

"Crest"?

[SCOFFS]

[SNIFFLES]

You need someone to drive you?

Mnh-mnh.

Aren't you supposed to feel sick after?

Hey, baby.

Want me to fix you some eggs?

Uh, no thank you.

I'm good.

I got to go.

ANGELA: [SIGHS]

It's hard to stay sober in this house.

Can't reach for a can of soup or a cup of coffee without coming across an oxy stash, a fifth of Jack Jesus, what happened to you?

I got in a fight.

I'll be fine.

Why are you here?

[SCOFFS]

Needed a place to crash until I get back on my feet.

And this was the best place you could think of?

Why are you here?

Your mom lived in poverty to keep you away from these people.

My mom lived in poverty because she was a junkie.

But you know all about that, right?

She was an addict.

She was sick.

And I did the best I could to help her.

And now what?

Are you helping Pope?

Pope and me got history.

Smurf owes you, J.

I came here for you.

[EXHALES]

You're following her.

Smart.

I don't need your help.

Yeah, you do.

[SCOFFS]

Who else can you trust?

What's up?

So, Smurf wants me to spy on you guys.

She what?

She wants me to look into who everybody's talking to.

She's thinks we're not keeping secrets as well as we should.

Why would she think that?

She thinks somebody's talking to the cops.

What'd she say?

She wants us all to use burner phones.

And she wants me to "handle" the person that's talking.

[SCOFFS]

She's just playing you.

If she actually thought that there were someone talking to the cops she would call us all together, get us talking, and probably send us out for blood.

- [GLASS CLINKS, DOOR CLOSES]

- Where is she right now?

[BOTTLE CAP POPS]

At the house.

Yeah, see?

How worried could she actually be?

If she thought there was a thr*at, she'd be out asking questions, talking to her cops, sending Pope after somebody.

It's all good.

So why did she send me out for the phones?

I don't know.

Honestly, she's probably pissed that we pulled that job with Frankie, and this is some kind of bullshit, petty revenge.

I don't know.

- [GLASS CLINKS]

- Just stay clear of her today.

Hand out the phones.

Go back tonight, tell her you talked to everybody and didn't find anything.

We pulled a job with someone we know nothing about.

Look, man, how many times are you gonna let her pull this sh*t with you?

This is what she wants.

She wants us to drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out if there's actually a thr*at.

- It's bullshit.

- She's not wrong.

Pulling the job with Frankie was sloppy.

Okay, you want to bring that up with Craig?

That's what I thought.

If you want to keep chasing bullshit for Smurf, that's fine with me.

[PANTING]

What's going on with you two?

You know, she treats you like sh*t, but it's you she comes to when she needs something.

It's always been that way.

Well, I'm the oldest.

It's more than that.

Do you remember when Scotty Yuhas pulled Julia's bathing suit off, wouldn't give it back to her.

She had to run across the whole beach in front of everybody just to grab her towel.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

You b*at the sh*t out of Scotty.

Julia was furious that it made things worse for her.

But Scotty never tried anything like that again.

I got to train.

Sure.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

- Yo.

- CRAIG: Yo.

You whipping up some eggs?

Yep.

Well, J's got a burner phone for you.

- A burner, why?

- I don't know.

Uh, Smurf's got him jumping through hoops 'cause she thinks someone's talking to the cops about us.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Poor kid.

Uh, you want some coffee?

- Yeah, sure.

- Here.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You haven't heard anything, right?

What, about someone talking to the cops?

No.

Why, you think it's got something to do with, uh, that job we pulled with Frankie or what?

Uh, I think Smurf's jerking us around - because we pulled the job with Frankie.

- [SIZZLING]

- Okay.

- But I don't know.

You think she'd have the kid doing all this sh*t - if she thought it was real?

- [EXHALES SHARPLY]

- Yeah, well - [DOOR CLOSES]

Is someone crashing on the couch?

Yeah, me.

Did you hear about Jack?

Hey.

- Hi.

- How are you?

DEA raided Jack's place this morning.

CRAIG: Well, yeah, you surprised?

He's been moving blow and meth overseas.

- His dumb ass got greedy.

- Yeah, and he's no genius.

Oh.

More customers for me, though.

[CLICKS LIPS]

- Are those eggs for me?

- Yeah.

Do you mind if I pass today?

My heartburn's just acting up.

- All good.

- Thanks.

See you later.

[PLATE CLATTERS]

- Hey, you want eggs?

- Thanks.

[DOOR CLOSES]

It's good to see Renn.

Yeah, she, uh, she needed a place to crash.

She kept it.

The baby?

Yeah.

You want some hot sauce?

JANINE: It used to be a dairy farm, but the commune's been there for years.

- They're hippies?

- They're drug dealers.

They preach that no possessions unity of man bullshit, but they're about the money.

There's at least 10 grand around all the time for when society collapses from commercial excess, all that hippie sh*t.

There's a dirt road that cuts through the woods behind the compound.

- That's our way in.

- Mm.

- Thank you - Mm-hmm.

Pam.

You're welcome mm Jake.

You look like a Jake.

Is that a good thing?

Uh-huh.

You wanna pay attention?

- I can do both.

- Security.

- Security?

- Yeah.

Thought this was supposed to be an easy score.

It will be.

If we're gonna risk people sh**ting at us, we might as well hit another bank where we know what to expect.

She didn't say there was no security, she just said it's nothing we can't handle.

[CASH REGISTER DINGS IN DISTANCE]

I'll be with you in a sec, Mrs.

Trexall's a good one, might make you feel a little nauseous, though.

So, let me know if you start to feel dizzy or faint.

It isn't supposed to cause hair loss, in case you were worrying about that.

I wasn't.

You can relax.

LOUISE: Is that your Jag in the parking lot?

[SIGHS]

Yes, ma'am.

I can tell, suits you.

[SCOFFS]

I'm stuck with a minivan.

I hate it, but at least it's red.

- You know it feels like heaven Lord, I try I can't find the reason [ALARM CONTINUES]

Find the reason Jack's place got raided.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Is that gonna blow back on you?

I stopped doing runs for him, so I should be fine, right?

That depends on how long they've been investigating him, and if he's willing to make a deal.

Don't they usually arrest everyone at the same time?

Smurf thinks someone's talking to the cops.

[EXHALES]

Really?

She got J running around passing out burner phones.

Everybody's on high alert right now.

What do you think?

- You think it's true?

- I don't know.

[SNIFFS]

Jack knows we're together.

There's no way that he says anything that sends Smurf or Pope his way.

Cops have been on him for a long time.

Hey.

Has anybody talked to you?

No.

Just be careful.

Okay.

- I'm serious.

- Yeah.

I'll see you tonight.

[NED GARTHE expl*si*n'S "SPIKE WAND" PLAYS]

You're never around when I get my fix Really, Craig?

Wouldn't return my calls.

Figured this way you'd show up.

You screwed me.

I screwed you?

You went behind my back to Smurf.

You stole Rahul's bike and his watch.

What the hell were you thinking?

He owed me money.

Now we're even.

He shorted 150 grand, so you steal a $200,000 bike and a million dollar watch?

How is that even?

You know how hard it was to find a buyer who was willing to pay more than 30K for that piece of sh*t watch?

You sold it already?

Yeah.

Bike, too.

Get the watch back.

And how am I supposed to do that?

Figure it out.

You b*rned an entire network for me.

No one connected to Rahul - will work with me now.

- Yeah?

Well, now I got Smurf up my ass about pulling an outside job.

You should never have kept her in the dark about the job in the first place.

How do you think that makes me look?

- Who cares?

- I do.

She's your mom, she'll get over it.

I need her to know I'm a professional.

So that's what this is about?

All that talk about how I'm good at what I do and how you brought this to me and not the Codys and you were just trying to get in with Smurf.

That's not all I was trying to do.

[SCOFFS]

I meant what I said about you.

Did I mess up?

You won't even look at me.

Did I say too much before?

No.

Where are you going?

[INHALES]

I have a fight.

Can I go with you?

I won't be in the way.

I-I promise.

- - LOUISE: We're all being optimistic here, right?

[SCOFFS]

But the reality is we may not be around forever.

I know I've done my job well.

I wasn't one of those women who coddled her children, but they still depend in me, Grandma.

The child care costs are crazy, and they both need to work.

No way they could survive without Molly's income, too.

[SCOFFS]

Jeff works at the base.

Long hours, the overtime is great, though.

How 'bout you, Janine?

Any kids?

A-Are you okay?

I'm gonna take this one, okay?

We're better off with small arms on this job.

Let the other guys carry the heavy stuff.

- I can handle it.

- Ain't about that.

Hey, I still don't know exactly what we're walking into.

I've got faith in your plan.

But if we end up having to haul ass, I don't want you lugging a g*n that weighs as much as you do.

Jack was putting sh*t on planes like he's Pablo Escobar.

I've a select group of customers I sell to.

I know them, they know me.

[BOTTLE CLATTERS]

You realize a kid named Crest is gonna get the sh*t kicked of him at school, right?

That list was supposed to be private.

Well, then you shouldn't leave it out in the open, then.

Oh, is that where I left it?

Huh.

[SCOFFS]

[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]

You know, if you get busted, you'll be giving birth to little Colgate in prison.

It's Crest like a wave, [SCOFFS]

You'll need to come up with something to do for cash when it's born anyway.

I am?

- Right?

- No, really?

Like what?

Well, you can't have a kid toddling around all this sh*t.

Mm.

Did your brothers hear?

What about your mom?

Come on.

'Cause you know who didn't get busted?

Your boyfriend.

You got something to say, just say it.

Jack's going away, Adrian's free and clear.

So either he's working with the cops or it's easier for someone to think that he is, right?

Someone like Pope.

What do you think Pope would do if he found out Adrian was talking to the cops?

What do you want?

$20,000.

Okay.

And this ends here?

I give you my word.

Sorry it had to go down like this.

The cops get anything from him?

No.

Damn it.

Well, we'll put in the board bag.

We'll carry him in my truck.

There's bleach in the cabinet next to the sink.

They got g*ns at banks, too.

Yeah, but it's not their money.

Lot less likely they'd use them.

How much do we usually make when we hit a bank?

Hmm?

Two or three grand.

We made $8,000 today.

So, I'm gonna call this a success.

I don't feel anything.

It's the adrenaline.

You'll feel it tomorrow.

Were you gonna blow that guy's brains out?

No.

Did you see the look on his face, though?

Who is he?

A friend of my mom's from when I was younger.

So it was personal?

Yes.

Hmm.

Jobs can't be personal.

You make 'em that way, sh*t goes south.

If there's someone you owe a b*ating Or, sh*t, if there's someone you need to k*ll, just tell me and we'll go do it.

But don't bring it into a job.

We have to trust each other.

You're either in 100% or you're out.

It means you never lie to me again.

I'm in.
