You just missed him. Yeah.

I thought he was coming down to work.

- He doesn't work here.

- No.

Well, he kind of does now.

He probably went to his office.

Oh, but he said "down,"

like downstairs.

I mean, his office is up north

I don't know, he just, he left,

wasn't trying to stick around.

Okay

Oh, uh, would you

You're gonna open up the shop?

Yeah, 'cause I'm gonna leave

him in here for a little bit

- until I figure out

- What?

Yeah.

Is that Jonah's phone?

I don't know. Is it?

That's weird.

Yeah, it is f*cking weird, huh?

No, it's not weird, man.

I leave my phone places all the time.

But you don't have a phone.

D Now you know why I

don't have a phone.

- He-he-he did stop by and say hi to us

- Yeah.

- before he left.

- Yeah.

- To go out. To us.

- He did.

To For work.

- He'll probably come back for it.

- Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. Okay

Hey, how's Sophia?

She's good. I just talked

to her this morning.

She sounds really good.

I'm gonna go see her during lunch.

That's really great, Nellie.

Yeah. I know.

Okay. Time to open up.

Jonah was a good kid.

He didn't deserve that.

Neither does Nellie. And now

we got another body,

and we can't stay here, buy-out or not.

Luis?

Oh, I called Jonah's office,

they said he still wasn't there yet.

Girl, it's been, like, five

seconds, really, though.

He stayed over last night.

I'm a horrible,

horrible person.

He probably forgot his phone

'cause he ain't never had it like that.

Clearly, he wasn't thinking.

He probably wasn't thinking,

that's probably

Uh

Who's Luis talking to?

I don't know, some pig.

Gosh, I'm just really surprised

anybody could think that.

Yeah, we're gonna have to go.

I mean, Empanada Loca's

a family-owned business.

We've been the foundation

of this community

for over 30 years.

Actually, yeah, we're all that's left.

I stand behind everything that

goes on behind those doors.

Yeah?

So, then, how come I haven't

seen Marcie since she went down

to see her?

Oh.

I don't know

what Marcie coming by

for a massage has to do with you

thinking we're selling marijuana.

Okay, she came down here to

check out the competition,

then she disappeared.

Competition?

Marcie's still dealing?

sh*t, I thought she outgrew

that in her 30s.

Okay, time to cut the sh*t,

bro, or the next call I make

is gonna be to my buddies in the DEA.

Now, you paying her off or what?

Am I paying her off?

Papa, I'm not paying anybody off.

Well, maybe you're gonna have to.

Oh I got you.

I got you, bro. Yeah.

This is a shakedown, right?

You're not getting Marcie's payoff,

so you're coming here for mine.

Well, go ahead, bring all

your DEA buddies down here,

they can search the whole place.

- We'll give them some empanadas

- Luis.

and some massages

while they're here.

- Luis, come on.

- They will never be the same.

You know, come to think of it,

maybe, uh, maybe

you would like a nice massage, huh?

You seem a little tense,

bro, no offense.

No, thank you.

Suit yourself.

- Something's not right here.

- Yeah?

Don't know what that is.

You just gonna stand out here?

All right, man. Do your thing.

Yeah, go ahead. Go.

- You check that guy?

- Come on, Luis.

Come on, stop.

Not today, Jeremiah.

Come on. Let's go downstairs.

- Nellie, we'll be right back, all right?

- Okay

- Get the f*ck downstairs, all right?

- Ah !

Shut up.

We got to go. We got to go. Come on.

- Wait, what?

- We got to, we got to pack

- immediately. Let's go, let's go.

- Wait, why?

Why? That's your question?

Because of the dead landlord's

dead son in the freezer

and because of the dirty cop

that's outside trying to shake you down?

Read the room, man,

we got to, we got to go.

Well, he's just talking sh*t.

He's not gonna do anything yet.

Wh-What? So, what are you,

what are you gonna do?

You're gonna wait until you get

another offer on the business?

And then you're gonna keep making

f*cking Muy Loco empanadas?

I mean, look, we're

hiding in plain sight.

No more people empanadas. Did

We do have money, we do.

We have your 15K, and then we have

the money that I have.

That's not enough to

buy a house in Colorado.

- Mami, that's only 15K.

- Luis!

I'm not trying to buy

a house in Colorado.

I'm trying not to spend

my f*cking life in prison.

- But where would we even go now?

- I don't f*cking know, man.

We could just go the subway tunnel,

- I don't know, we'll figure it out.

- You want to live like that?

No, I don't. I don't want

to live like that,

but this sh*t is not sustainable.

This is not Look, look,

we were already gonna go

anyway, right? We

It's just the money,

that's the only thing

that's changed, we don't have the money.

- We were still gonna go.

- Look.

Everything's changed.

Everything's changed. I mean,

I-I know you had to do Jonah like that,

but, you know, I'm not mad,

but we were gonna leave

'cause he was gonna go ahead

and take Empanada Loca.

- "Was."

- If we leave now, if we leave now,

- that's it.

- "Was" was the thing.

It's all gonna be wiped out, okay?

Everything I've had, my whole legacy,

everything that I have. I was born here.

I was literally born right

here on this f*cking floor.

We-we have a great time here, okay?

You have fun, right?

Mm, it's like the perfect kind of

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, you tried this sh*t?

This strain's called

Trainwreck, it is

- Wow.

- Luis.

This is a trainwreck.

All of this is a f*cking trainwreck.

I don't give I'm f*cking leaving.

You do whatever the f*ck you want to do.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait. Okay?

Please, please, wait. Okay.

You win. You win.

Okay? But listen,

if we were to leave right this second,

that's gonna look suspicious, okay?

We got to, we got to divert

some attention, okay?

'Cause we got to buy

ourselves some time first.

How are we gonna do that?

I got an idea.

I got an idea. I swear to

you, I got an idea.

Just-just got to give me some more time,

okay?

Give me some more time.

- Some more time, okay?

- We got to leave today, Luis.

- Okay

- Today is the day

that we got to l-leave.

What are you doing?

- Where are you going?

- I'm gonna,

I'm gonna take care of it.

- I got it. I got it.

- What are you doing?

I'm gonna give you an hour, tops, Luis.

- That's it.

- Trust me, mami.

Trust me, all right?

Oh, yeah, I trust him.

I trust him to f*ck sh*t up even more.

But I still need him

'cause he's the only one

who would never throw me under the bus.

Human beings are full of sh*t,

but this table has never let me down.

You took care of it that quick, huh?

- Joy.

- Took care of what?

Uh, no, um, y-you know what?

It's, um, now's really

it's really not a good

Not a good time. It's never

a good time with you,

- is it, Dolores?

- Joy, please.

It's just that I pulled my neck again.

I think it's stress.

Oh, my God, really? I-I Am I on mute?

- I really

- No chiropractor's as good

as you, not that I can

afford a chiropractor.

No, I can't I can't

deal with this right now.

The My table is not even up.

- You-you have to go.

- Why, what's going on?

What's going on is you have to go, okay?

No, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.

You're being incredibly rude.

I'm your friend.

I tried to get you a job

when you showed up from

prison with nothing,

which completely destroyed my

relationship with my sister,

and we haven't spoken

in weeks because of you.

And still, I got you so many clients,

so many people, they were

waiting for their laundry.

"Hey, you got 30 minutes?

You got to go next door

and see Magic Hands."

And you're good,

but you're not the Second Coming, okay?

They all just went to see

you because I sent them,

because I tell the truth,

and people like me,

and I have good taste,

and-and you-you-you just treat

me like I'm some sort of a

You know what?

I should charge you commission.

You don't want to help me

when I come to you in pain,

then ten percent.

Fine, turn around. Turn around

right now. You got 30 seconds.

- Okay. Right, right.

- You got 30 seconds.

- Where is it?

- Right here. Right here. So tight.

- Okay.

- Yes. Exactly

Just be quiet, please, Joy. Just

- Oh. I'm sorry I snapped at you.

- No, it's fine, it's fine.

It's fine. Shh.

Please, I just want you to

be f*cking quiet, all right?

Real friends got to

tell you the hard truth.

- Joy, you really need to shut the f*ck up.

- The hard truth, Dolores,

is that you can be so mean,

- so very mean.

- Mean? I'm mean?

I think you should start

I liked Joy,

but she was in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

Oh, f*ck.

Oh, f*ck.

f*ck!

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

We got to go.

f*ck. We got to go. We got to go.

- Luis? Luis?

- And she said she'd come

- right back to the hotel?

- And she said

she was gonna bring us

back some empanadas!

And you haven't

heard from her since?

- No. She didn't even call in sick.

- This is a woman

that's never missed a matinee

since She Loves Me in 1993,

and that was only because

she got shoved onto the subway tracks.

Ruthie survived the third rail,

and even then, she called!

- Hmm. That's odd.

- Okay, so here's what's really weird

Hey, Nellie, can I talk

to you for a second?

- Um

- Hi. How you doing? I just We're

- Uh

- I just need her for

- One second.

- Just a few seconds, guys.

- Just a little bit.

- I'll be right back.

I just have a-a question

that I wanted to ask.

Um what's going on?

Okay, so, listen to this.

Jonah hasn't shown up at his office yet.

Oh, my God, girl. Hasn't

even been an hour yet.

You really just got to relax.

I know, but first,

his father disappeared,

and then this woman.

Well, his father didn't

really disappear, though,

'cause his father texted

him, though, right?

Only once. Not since then.

And the woman who was looking

for them, she disappeared.

At least, that's what

they're saying out there.

What? What do they say?

Why are you listening to those people?

Oh, my God. Do you think it's the Mob?

- What?

- Does the Mob still exist?

Yes, the Mob still exists.

It's not the Mob, Nellie.

No, it's just

I don't know what it is.

I don I don't know what it is.

I don't, but everything is fine, okay?

Everything is fine.

I don't think it's fine!

It may not be fine!

Sometimes things are not fine.

When my mom went to prison,

that was not fine.

And when she went to prison

before that, that was not fine.

And I just want to know

if something's not fine,

- before something hap Uh

- Okay.

I don't want anything to

happen to you or Luis.

Can we just go back to work?

Please? Please?

I swear everything is gonna

be okay, I-I promise.

It's gonna be fine, okay?

- I mean, we can't do anything about this.

- Okay.

So let's just Like, we'll go

back to work, all right?

- Okay. All right.

- Okay.

She trusts me.

I'm a monster.

Worse, I'm real.

Luis?

Is there any slight, like,

fraction of a chance

he didn't do something stupid?

That'd be too stupid

even for him, right?

Was that like that before?

I can't wait for him.

I'm getting my sh*t,

and I'm getting out of here.

- and all this debt.

- Mm-hmm.

And then he was getting

these weird text messages,

- and nothing.

- Not Like, not at all?

- Nothing?

- Not at all.

- That's shady.

- And that's not like him.

- What if he became a monk?

- No.

She figured it out?

- What?

- Joy figured it out?

No, she didn't.

Sh-She saw something?

Or why-why'd you have to go and ?

'Cause I'm on a f*cking bender, man,

and we got to go.

And I'm leaving with or without you.

Wait, wait, wait. Why?

Why?

Come on, Luis.

We already had this conversation.

I got to do something with this first.

Mami, I got a plan.

I really wish you'd trust me!

Why would I trust you? Why?

You've made everything worse.

- I've been looking out for you, okay?

- Don't! I don't need

a 30-something, sweaty,

tampon-stealing cannibal

who reeks of adobo and aceite

and wouldn't have anybody

else to go down on

if Dominic hadn't f*cked

my life apart 16 years ago

to make decisions for

me anymore. Thank you.

You are f*cking mean.

That is so f*cking mean.

Yeah? Then I'm f*cking mean.

Who gives a sh*t?

I also k*lled six f*cking people.

That doesn't bother you?

And I just k*lled Joy!

Jesus, why did I k*ll Joy?

Yeah, I didn't really see

that coming at all.

- f*ck did I k*ll Joy?

- I-I didn't see that

- I didn't see that coming at all.

- Why the f*ck did I

Oh, sh*t!

Yo, that came quick. Damn.

The Five-O coming! ♪

Dolores. Dolores!

Nellie!

- Nellie, wait!

- Help me!

- Nellie!

- The Oh!

That worked out even

better than I thought. Nice.

I was just gonna buy us some time,

but now it's off of us.

We can really stay here now.

And thanks to Magic

Hands' latest delivery,

we'll even have fresh

Muy Loca tonight.

What did you do?

Yo, with Sophia gone, perfect timing.

Just hoisted it all up from

the fire escape with a rope.

- Oh, my God.

- Physics in action, baby.

- I even called in a tip.

- Oh, my God.

"Oh, uh, I think, uh I think I know

where the bodies wound up."

Easy feasy.

- How could you do that to Nellie?

- Yo, come on.

She's the reason why Jonah

was hanging around here

- in the first place.

- No, she's not the reason. I'm the reason

- he was hanging out here. I'm the reason!

- Oh, whatever.

She's young. She's young.

She can do something with

her life when she gets out.

Get out? Luis,

you don't get out when

you chop people up.

Especially someone like Nellie.

You think the system was bad on me?

How could you do that?

Uh, how could I?

m*therf*ckers around here

are getting their f*cking necks snapped.

I think Nellie made it out A-okay.

Plus, we're safe now, mami. Come on.

No, we're not safe.

They are gonna now search

every inch of this building.

You have, once again,

made it worse.

Well, what was I ? What the

f*ck was I supposed to do?!

You were supposed to stop me!

Anybody, somebody, was

supposed to stop me!

I could have really been happy here,

like, with you.

Me doing my massages,

you doing your thing upstairs.

I never wanted a house in Colorado, man.

I just wanted

to have a normal, simple life

and be a normal, simple person.

But I got to be this person instead.

Okay.

Like, all this today.

Like, always this

particular time of day?

I got to go.

I'm gonna come with you.

Let me get my sh*t real quick.

Oh, too late.

- Come on.

- What? Jeremiah.

Come on, Dolores. Let's go. Come on.

I got my truck out back. It's running.

Let's go.

What the f*ck is he even doing here?

- Oh. Stop. Luis.

- Oh! I know everything.

- What?

- I know what you're making her do

I know what you do

You don't know a g*dd*mn thing.

I know what's in those empanadas!

- What the f*ck are you talking about?

- I know what you did

to yourself, and I know

what you did to Ariel!

- To my father?

- He always knew you had

a screw loose, but you knew

he knew it, too. That's why

- you left him down here to rot!

- You don't know one

You don't know the first

thing about me or my dad,

so why don't you shut the f*ck up?

- He was my friend!

- He wasn't your f*cking friend, bro.

You're a f*cking pendejo.

He felt sorry for you

because you're f*cking crazy.

Even before your f*cking dead wife,

or before your f*cking

conspiracy theorist bullshit.

And nobody believes a

g*dd*mn word you f*cking say!

- I'm not crazy.

- Yeah.

- I'm not crazy.

- Yeah?

Where the bodies at?!

- Jeremiah, wait! Jeremiah!

- Where they at?

- Keep look, man. Keep looking.

- Let's just go!

- Where the bodies at?!

- Let's go! - You're not gonna

- find sh*t, you f*cking psycho.

- Where the bodies at?!

- Where the bodies at?!

- You ain't gonna find sh*t,

- you f*cking psycho!

- Jeremiah, it was me!

Where they at?!

Wait! Stop it!

- Guys, stop it.

- You're a monster!

He's choking! He's choking!

Look at him. No. Let me go!

- No!

- He's choking! He's choking!

- He's f*cking choking!

- No!

- Christ, look at him. He's choking!

- No. Stop!

Help him! Stop it!

You got to help him.

Get him! Come on!

Jeremiah? Jeremiah?!

Jeremiah?

Oh, my God.

Why did you make me do that?!

It would been more f*cking

humane to k*ll him!

I'm a pacifist! Look what

you turned me into!

Stay away from me.

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

- Get away from me, Luis!

No. I'm coming with you.

No, you're not f*cking coming with me!

I don't ever want to see you

or your f*cking waffle

crotch ever again.

Listen, mami,

- I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna help you.

- No.

Get away from me.

Get the f*ck away from me!

But Dolores, you're the love

of my life. You're the love

- of my life. I love you.

- Don't you f*cking

- touch me!

- You're the love of my life.

- Get away from me!

- I'll help you. So let me. So let me.

- Can't leave without me!

- Aah!

What is No, no!

- Get away from me! Get away from me!

- No, no, no, no!

- No! You can't go. No, you can't go. You can't.

- Let me go!

You can't go. No, we're too good to go.

- You're too good.

- Let me go!

- Let me go! Please!

- We're too good.

- Stay with me, mami.

- Let me go.

Stay with me. Stay with me.

Come on. Stay with me, mami.

Please don't go.

Don't go. Don't go. Please don't go.

Please

don't go. Please don't go.

Please don't go. Please don't go.

Please don't go.

Don't go.

Oh. Oh, oh.

Deep fried, like everybody else.

Ah, sh*t!

f*ck. f*ck! I don't know

how to f*cking drive!

In a truck full of raw meat.

So that's how you b*rned your hand?

Huh?

Yeah. That's how.

And then what?

And then I spent four years on

the lam, looking for Dominic,

trying to put all this sh*t behind me.

Meanwhile, my name's on a marquee

like Jack the Uptown Ripper.

I thought you were dead.

We all thought you were dead.

And and I believed what

I heard about you,

that you were some deranged monster,

- that you

- No, no, no, but you were right.

- I am.

- No.

- Yeah.

- You're a victim

- of circumstance.

- No. You were right all along.

- You're a vigilante!

- Were you not paying attention?

But you had to do it.

You had to do all of those things!

- You were right all along!

- You had to do it.

You had to do all of it.

I didn't, though, did I?

I didn't.

And you want to know something else?

I came here tonight to do it again.

To me?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

To whoever gets in my way,

or might get in my way,

or rubs me the wrong way.

Or is just in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

Man, you said it yourself,

and you were right about me.

You're right.

I can't stop.

Okay, Caleb,

people are saying that you, like,

made Dolores a human

being with this play,

like, even more than the podcast.

You know, you took this, like,

evil serial k*ller lady,

and you made her a heroine!

I am going to make

her into a TV show next.

Did you see Jason Blum here?

- Okay, excuse me. He's on fire.

- I know.

Yeah.

I'm gonna grab my coat,

and then I'll meet you outside?

- Okay, okay.

- Okay.

Hello?

Would you like a massage?

Oh, f*ck, no!

m*therf*cker, really?

A podcast about my f*cking life?!

And now a Broadway play?

- Dominic!

- Yeah, where's my check, bitch?

- Dominic. Dominic!

- Where the f*ck is my check?!

- Dominic.

- What? What?!

Dominic.

What'd you say?

- Aah. Dominic.

- What'd you say?

I can help you find

Dominic if you let me go.

You know where Dominic is?

- Aah! I know someone who does.

- Yeah?

You want to live another day to

record another shitty podcast?

Yeah.

You take me to that person

right m*therf*cking now.

Okay.

Whose house is this?

I think I think you should just

I'm gonna go inside that house,

and when I come back out,

your ass had better still be here,

or else I will hunt you down

and finish shoving that mic

so far down your throat,

we'll be able to do an

interview with your colon.

Okay, but your-your hair looks

amazing like that.

Like, it's it's, like, hot.

It's, like Like, it real,
