04x08 - The Cousin of Death

[bunniefuu]

[SNIFFLES]

[EXHALES]

[WYATT] All right, here's
an easy one. The Chronic.

"Intro" then "f*ck Wit Dre
Day." Sticky Fingers.

Uh, "Brown Sugar." Illmatic.

"The Genesis."

The White Album.

"Back in the USSR." The Black Album.

"Interlude" then "December th."

Red.

Oh, f*ck you.

What... [LAUGHS]

You don't know it?

[INHALES] Uh...

Taylor Swift's Red?

- Going once, going twice. [SCOFFS]
- [COUGHS]

- "State of Grace." [SCOFFS]
- Hmm.

[EXHALES, COUGHS, MUTTERS]

- It feels like my tongue's asleep.
- [COUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

- Tongue is asleep.
- Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

- [INHALES] Oh.
- Hmm.

[EXHALES] I was thinking, we should
get some, like, big-ass speakers

for outside on the porch there, like,

real festival-sized sh*t.

Hmm, and a guesthouse,

so if there's anyone we
don't wanna deal with,

we don't have to.

And that driveway there,
you know, the circular kind,

where you never even have to back up.

Put the pool over there.

- [INHALES]
- What the f*ck do we need a pool for?

What do you mean? You
always need a pool.

Says who?

It's a big house. If you
got a big house... [EXHALES]

... you gotta have a pool, right?

Why do we need a f*cking
pool when we have a lake?

You know what? You don't understand

the first thing about
being f*ckin' rich.

You don't have any idea either. Do you?

- No. [EXHALES]
- [BOTH LAUGHING]

- [WYATT] I don't.
- [LAUGHING]

[SNIFFLES]

[RUTH] You know, you'd actually
have to give up sleeping up here.

- Yeah, I know. [EXHALES]
- [CLEARS THROAT]

- Wanna know something crazy?
- Hmm.

- I'm, like, deathly afraid of heights.
- [LAUGHING]

- What... what the f*ck...
- [LAUGHS]

What the f*ck are you talking about?

You come up here every night.

[WYATT] I know.

How f*cking stupid is that?

[LAUGHING]

f*ck!

[SOBBING]

I need you to clean something
up for me, then get to Chicago.

Okay, can you... can you tell me
what you're talking about, Javi?

I set a meeting for
tomorrow morning at Shaw.

I want to renegotiate
the terms of our deal.

Okay, um, and... and the cleanup?
Tell me... tell me about that.

- What... what do I have to clean up?
- Um... [CHUCKLES]

I finally took care
of that hillbilly c**t.

[MARTY] Wow. Really?

Um, why... why the f*ck did you do that?

My uncle should have done
it when she k*lled Del.

It's done now.

Clean it the f*ck up, and
I'll see you in Chicago.

- You got it.
- [LINE BEEPS]

He expects us to clean up the scene

and then, uh, and then get to Chicago.

We gotta meet with Clare
at Shaw in the morning.

You didn't tell him about Ruth?

[MARTY] Mm-hmm. Why would I do that?

She wants to k*ll him.

Okay, if I... if I tell
him, then, you know,

I put her in danger for no good reason.

How about keeping him alive
to keep our family safe?

I'd say that's a pretty good reason.

Wendy, you know him. He'd
k*ll her just for thinking it.

It's not our business.

[MARTY SCOFFS]

- [JONAH] Of course it's our business.
- Look, this is not personal.

- It's Ruth.
- Look, can you just...

just let your father
and I talk this out?

[JONAH] No, no. Hey, what could you
possibly still have to figure out?

She is talking about k*lling someone.

I'm... I'm trying to figure
out a way to keep us all safe.

- Would you take me to the motel?
- [WENDY] Oh, come on, Jonah!

- [CHARLOTTE] Sure.
- Can you just... can you give us a second?

Jonah!

I'm right.

No, you're just...
you're being emotional.

- Are you f*cking kidding me?
- I'm sorry, okay?

- I'll rip your tongue out of your mouth!
- I'm sorry. I just...

- Come on! Emotional!
- [MARTY] We need to talk practically.

That's what I am doing.

If Javi dies, we have no
leverage against Navarro.

- He's not gonna die.
- [WENDY] We're as good as dead.

You're the one who's
always preaching safety!

- [MARTY] Uh-huh.
- The safe thing is to tell him about Ruth.

- Why can't you admit that?
- Because it's bullshit, Wendy.

This isn't about safety. This
is about the foundation, right?

This is about you
trying to do everything

to make sure nothing threatens the deal.

Do I want Javi to die and f*ck
up everything we've sacrificed?

No. Even more of a reason to warn him.

I-I won't get her k*lled, Wendy, okay?

She'd be getting herself k*lled.

Wow.

[WENDY] I know you care about her.

You know me. You might not believe
it, but I care about her too.

She's just... she's not thinking
about what might happen to us.

Mm-hmm. Well, she's distracted.
Her cousin just got m*rder*d.

She's trying to f*cking k*ll the man.

She doesn't even know
what the guy looks like.

How's she gonna find him, huh?

And even if she does,
how's she gonna get to him?

Jesus!

All this and you still... you
don't understand people's will?

Just please, f*cking tell me

This is him.

It's from his business school yearbook.

[RUTH] I'll be okay.

You here to k*ll me?

Just wanted you to know that
we thought about it, and...

We know we owe you.

What does that f*cking mean?

It means if you wanna k*ll
Javi, we won't stand in your way.

[HUFFS] Are you saying
you'll help deliver him to me?

He's on a plane back
to Mexico right now.

We won't see him for a couple of months,

but when he comes back in the country,

if it's still what you
want, we'll make it happen.

Because you owe me?

That's right.

How many months?

[WENDY] I don't know.

Three, maybe.

[RUTH] Hmm.

You promise me?

'Cause I'll hold you f*cking to it.

I know you will.

I promise.

All right, then.

Lying f*cking bitch.

We have you booked with us for

it was so hopeful

[MAN] Shaw Medical Solutions,
how may I help you?

Clare Shaw's office.

- One moment, please.
- [CLEARS THROAT]

[WOMAN] Clare Shaw's office.

[IMITATING CHARLOTTE] Hi,
this is Charlotte Byrde.

I'm just calling to confirm the
meeting time for Marty and Wendy Byrde.

Ten o'clock.

Right. Ten o'clock. Thank you.

[JAVI] I'm proposing that we
make this relationship long-term.

I'm willing to commit to five years
right now at a % price reduction.

Any agreement about donations
to your political organization,

you can negotiate separately.

I sense a catch.

No catch.

Just fair compensation.

In return, I receive stock
options in Shaw Medical.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Giving you stock options would
out this entire arrangement.

Obviously, that can't happen.

[INHALES] Uh, this is important
to you, this relationship, right?

It is.

This is important.

Which is why I think
maybe we take a moment,

let you get back to Mexico,
get your infrastructure set.

[CHUCKLES] I mean, I'm sure
Clare can tell you a thing or two

about how hard it is to
transform a family business.

The stock will be in my mother's name.

She's not on any law enforcement
list. She's simply a citizen.

But she is the sister and the
mother of drug cartel leaders.

Well, I think what, uh,
Clare's trying to say is that...

What are we supposed
to say your mother's

role is in the company, you know?

I mean, these, you
know, companies, they...

they issue stock options,

and the shareholders, you know,
usually have some sort of explanation.

[JAVI] Hmm.

Your shareholders will be happy
if your company does well, hmm?

Perceptions are fluid.

Like power dynamics.

Case in point, when I
was in business school,

I had a professor who always treated me

as somehow lesser than
my other classmates.

Now that he runs the business school,

he's invited me to dinner
to discuss a donation.

Well, clearly, he's found a way

to incorporate my family's tile business

into the school endowment plans.

Speaking of which, did
you bring the financials

for my uncle's legitimate holdings?

I'd like these to be transferred
into my mother's name.

But those... those are
for your uncle's children.

Oh, they're family.

I'll make sure they're taken care of.

[HORNS HONKING]

out of the f*cking road!

Well, it doesn't matter. I
couldn't do it. I f*cking froze.

Yeah, that's a good thing, Ruth.

No, not when you're trying
to k*ll someone, it ain't.

It means that... that
you care about your life,

and you're not willing to throw
it away over somebody like Javi.

f*ck off, Dr. Phil.

Hey, I'm serious.

No, I'm a f*cking failure.

No, you... Listen. You're
a... you're a good person.

You just, you feel like sh*t.

Wendy f*cking lied to me. She said
you were gonna help me get to him.

She was, uh, giving
you time to cool down.

[RUTH] Bullshit! She was protecting

your f*cking Byrde family
circle-jerk association

or whatever the f*ck you call it.

You know I'm f*cking right.

All I had to do was squeeze the trigger.

But you didn't, and that's...
that's gotta mean something, okay?

No, it means I can't do anything right.

Ruth, just go home, okay?

It's over. I'm serious.
You do not want this.

for a business school, huh?

- Hmm?
- [CHUCKLES]

The tile business has
proven to be recession-proof.

and we've made inroads into

- [SERVER] Hmm?

to make a donation to

And why is that obvious?

Well, I... [SIGHS]

I just wanna protect you from people
with their hands out. [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

May I be honest?

Of course.

[JAVI] I used to think...

that you were not particularly
interested in my thoughts on business,

back when I was a student.

I just thought you were...

very private.

[JAVI CHUCKLES]

- We lived in the part that was normal.
- [WENDY] Oh, yeah. Yeah.

- So people had horses and sprawling...
- [MARTY] How was Iowa?

- [SERVER] When you're ready.
- [CLARE] Great.

- [MARTY] Yeah?
- I loved... I got this.

- I loved Iowa.
- We've never been to Iowa.

[WENDY] Mnh-mnh.

- You have something against Iowa?
- No, nothing against it. [LAUGHS]

I don't know. It's very hilly.

[RUTH] We all paid up in here?

[INHALES, CLEARS THROAT]

We're going to her office.

I'm sorry. What... what is it
you think you're doing here?

You told me he was on a plane to Mexico.

I lied.

[CLARE] Uh, I don't
understand. What is going on?

I told you. We're going
to your f*cking office.

Not unless I get an
explanation we're not.

You said you were going home.

No, you told me to go home.

Big difference.

[CLARE] Someone needs to
explain to me what is going on.

I'm not just gonna sit here
and be bullied or intimidated.

Tell her to take us to her office,

or I'll sh**t her in the
f*cking head right here.

Is that right, Marty?

Tell me more about what I
do and don't f*cking want.

Will someone please
tell me what is going on?

- Javi k*lled her cousin.
- Call him.

[MARTY] Listen, I mean, I know...
I know that you're hurting,

but you're gonna put all
of our lives in danger.

You're gonna put Jonah's life in danger.

She doesn't care.

[MARTY] Ruth. Ruth. Look at me.

When I was afraid that
we were gonna be k*lled

and I needed someone to take
care of my kids, I went to you.

Because you're a good
person and I trust you.

And I know you.

This is not who you wanna be.

God.

[GASPS] I used to love
to hear you f*cking talk.

[CLARE] I can give you money, okay?

Name a price. There are...
there are safes in this office.

Just... just give me a number.

Bitch, you need to shut the f*ck up!

[MARTY] Ruth, please. Come on.

Javi dies, everything that we
worked for just falls apart.

Welcome to my f*cking world.

You know who you're in
business with? [INHALES]

They will tear everything
you have to the ground,

and somehow, they'll make you feel
like next time it'll all be different.

Because you wanna believe.

They'll make you feel
like they f*cking care.

But Wendy,

she's f*cking soulless.

She will rip your
heart out of your chest

if it helps her get what she wants.

She's like a f*cking predator

that doesn't even know
why it's k*lling anymore.

And Marty.

He pretends to care.

But, really, he doesn't
have any real emotion,

or else he's too f*cking c**t-struck
to even know who he is anymore.

[SCOFFS]

Do you really think...

everything you do

is to protect your family?

Are you really that f*cking shut down?

They've stolen people's businesses.

They drag their kids into
every part of the drug business.

They've had people k*lled.

Do you honestly believe every
story they've ever told you?

[WENDY] You've said enough.

[DIALING]

[RINGING]

[RUTH SIGHS, SNIFFLES]

Javi, it's Wendy Byrde.

Listen, I-I know it's late, but
we're all here in Clare's office,

and we've managed to talk her
into giving you the stock options.

She's... she's drawing up the
paperwork, so, if you could swing by,

we could get it in your hands before
you fly back to Mexico tomorrow.

Great.

See you soon.

We'll put some champagne on ice.

You don't have to do this.

You can be something else.

She knows.

I'm so sorry we let you down.

Felicidades. Please...

How much of that was true?

We need to wipe down every surface.
