02x09 - There Will Be Blood

[bunniefuu]

And now begins the ancient word.

The sun sleeps below the sky, and the world turns upside down.

In the night, we make our feast.

For centuries, I danced for them, the blood-gatherer, the bringer of souls.

I've brought them the lost ones, the troubled ones, the desperate ones.

Now, I am free, and the world turns upside down again.

They are thirsty for revenge, and nothing will stop them.

No boundaries, no borders.

They will come for me, but I am coming for them.

Their empire of blood will fall, and I will not rest until it all burns.

Hey, hey. Where you going? You can't quit.

Then you dig for it.

The men are exhausted. I'm exhausted.

We done about lost everything we had chasing that stuff, and for what?

For what?

How about your wives, and your little ones.

Have you forgotten about your children?

I've said it once, I'll say it again: to believe is brave.

And you must be able to sacrifice everything you have in order to get what you seek.

I want you to say it with me: future.

Future.

Say it louder.

Future!

Future!

One more time. Louder. Future!

Future!

That's good.

Fear not, I will carry your burden.

Fear not!

Aah!

Hey!

Ha-ha!

Oh...

Ah...

Agh!

Hey!

See it, boys? The future!

I told you.

Fear no more.

Anybody remember the words to "Convoy"?

Pay dirt.

Well, then, I guess it's time for me to go get us some ole... Texas tea.

Hold this, would you?

I will be doing the honors.

So I get it all.

I'm not calling you a liar, but in my line of business, when a guy gives you the code to the safe, he's already made off with the loot.

Don't believe me, believe the prophecy.

If not you, whom?

Just make up your mind. I've gotta leave before sunrise.

El Rey, huh?

How much is that gonna cost you?

Oh, some sweat and tears, but mostly blood. A lot of blood.

Once we empty that well, a thousand souls will cry out and the gods will be appeased.

But you can't let Carlos take it.

He's already on his way there now.

If he returns with that santa sangre, there's no telling what he can do.

You've gotta take it from him, Richard.

It must pour forth from your hands.

Only then will they worship you for it.

Except I've gotta pay, too.

Santanico belongs to me.

Always has.

Richard!

She can't reach you.

I made sure of that.

You've witnessed the rage inside of her.

She thinks that by k*lling me, she can be free from all this.

She can't. She won't.

What she truly wants is so much deeper.

It's something you could never give her.

Diosa. Diosa.

How did they find you?

I found them.

I gave myself to them.

I wanted everything he gave you.

I wanted it for myself.

How could you be so stupid?

Can you walk?

I think so.

He told me I could be his new queen.

Just like you.

Trust me...

...you don't want to be in my skin.

sh*t! Damn it.

Quick question, fellas. Which one of you knows how to drive this thing?

Are you crazy?!

Not as crazy as that guy was.

Now, here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna move all three of these building blocks upstairs on my truck, pronto, and I am gonna build myself a life of comfort and luxury.

Comfort and luxury.

Yes, sir.

Make it skippy.

Skippy?

Just...

What about Seth?

Let him take the cash. He's out of your life, and you're calling the sh*ts. You win.

I'm just supposed to victory dance my way into an ambush with Carlos?

I had to send him first.

He gave me no choice.

Look, all you have to do is wait until he empties the well, and then take what's yours. Take the tanker.

He gets what he deserves, and you get your heart's desire.

The keys to the kingdom.

One problem.

You don't even know where it is.

Well, then, let's find out.

Richie?

Kate.

What the hell are you doing here?

Apparently, having a reunion.

I'm not going to help you.

I'm not going to tell you anything.

Cachito, sh... you don't have to.

I can see it all right here.

Do you know what that means?

Stop.

Let me.

Come on, man.

You said you were going to let me call the sh*ts.

That's right. You already found your own venom.

This one... I don't need.

I was just so... so hungry.

...about a thousand souls, screaming out in the night. Bam!

I got it.

It ain't close, but we can still catch up.

I was going to give her my venom.

I've been waiting hours for this.

Trust me, I've been waiting a lot longer.

It's gonna be a hell of a reunion.

The future looks bright.

Once upon a time, there were people who yearned to rid themselves of the culebra scourge.

I sold them a brilliant idea.

Offer a thousand souls to the gods, and it will end the curse of the serpent men.

You tricked them into mass su1c1de.

I know, right?

You created the oil company to hide it.

To disguise it... like a well. Like a blood well.

That blood could satisfy your need to k*ll.

And what if I like to k*ll?

I paid a very high price to get you here, Scott.

And I want you to go.

I'm not scared of you.

You should be.

He's giving you his operation?

Yes.

Why?

Because I earned it.

What about Santanico? I thought you were with her.

Yes, Kate. Come on, just... don't worry about it.

I'm sorry. I didn't get to see into your soul. You saw into mine.

You're not gonna really...

What, turn you?

No.

What are you...?

What are you doing?

This is where you get out.

Go. Just go.

Go Bible-thump your way to the next town or somethin'.

I have come too far and I have been through way too much to let another Gecko boy push me to the curb.

I am going to that blood well!

So you're gonna put this car into drive and you're gonna step on that pedal, or I'm gonna Bible-thump your ass all the way back to Kansas!

Now!

I thought you were gonna vomit pea soup all over me.

This blood well is so important.

It is going to change everything.

You know, change isn't free, Kate.

There's always a price to pay to get what you want.

Gotta cr*ck a few eggs to make an omelet.

It's the cost of being the boss.

Bullshit.

Excuse me?

This isn't about getting everything you want or being a "made" guy or whatever.

That's selfish and wrong.

That's the kind of thing you do when you're broken, when you've given up family and love.

The only things that matter.

I mean, isn't that why you're doing this?

To help her?

Sure.

Like when you helped Seth in your little Mexican honeymoon?

That was not a honeymoon, and you know it.

He really missed you.

He needed his brother, just like I needed mine.

Yeah, well, he's all set up now.

Wait... are you two working together?

That's why you didn't k*ll Malvado.

You've got something bigger planned, something that gets everyone what they want.

Yeah.

You two try and hate each other, but... God keeps bringing you back together.

Follow this path until it ends.

I want to go with you.

You can't.

If I fail, we both end up his slaves.

That's not what he said.

What are you talking about?

When they brought me to Malvado, I heard him talking to his men.

Malvado's leaving tonight.

Someone's coming to pick him up.

And he's taking you with him.

Where is he taking me?

To paradise. A place called...

El Rey.

You've seen him.

You know where he is.

Yes. I can show you.

Take me.

Well, howdy there, traveler.

Start you off with a beverage?

I have a very specific request.

Well, just say the word, I'll get you what you want.

That's it, that's it.

Come on. Come on.

Very nice.

I'll make sure you get Employee of the Month.

What the hell are you doin'?

There's two more pallets, genius.

Nice try, compadre.

Where do you think you're goin'?

Someplace with all kind of umbrella drinks.

Now, step off.

Please.

Let me give you a hand.

Ah!

This one has very nice skin.

How do you even prepare for that?

What?

People barely felt it, man.

Just a little rumble, next thing you know, there's a wall of water 30 feet high comin' at you down the pike.

Yeah.

They're saying like 200,000 people d*ed.

And you wanna hear somethin' crazy?

Like plague-of-locusts crazy?

The animals knew.

They sensed that sh*t and they headed for the hills.

You sayin' we gotta be like animals now?

No. That's not what I am saying.

What I'm saying is that we need to prepare.

We need to build a defensible bulwark for the inevitable disaster that is coming our way.

Yes. That's why we put down scores.

Agreed, and it was a most splendid score that we put down this evening.

But what does one do with the profit one acquires?

One creates, one builds a business where others can find prosperity and, in turn, kick a reasonable portion of that prosperity upstairs to you.

Bullshit. What does Uncle Eddie always say, huh?

You do the job, you bank the money, and you work for nobody.

And you do not deviate.

I knew it.

I f*ckin' knew it, man. You're still pissed about that.

I didn't deviate, I improvised.

It's just a graze.

One b*llet.

That's all it takes.

All right.

No more Sorrowful Jones.

We're gonna lay it down. Right now.

New goals. Real simple.

Here's to... getting rich and fat.

And dying in the arms of a beautiful woman.

This just in!

Destiny has made its choice.

One brother has risen. And it's not you, handsome.

Ricardo took the deal.

Wait. What deal?

The offer he couldn't refuse.

He's the new boss.

The lotion will make your skin more... pliable.

I am gonna have so much fun k*lling you.

Don't forget the undercarriage, sweetheart.

Hey, don't I get a rubdown, too?

What's the matter? You don't recognize me?

I never forget half a face.

Your sniveling little brother sold us out.

Look, you wanna blame someone for turning you into Inside-Out Man, blame your boss.

He's running the board.

Son, the only chess master in this tournament is hanging right beside you on the family tree.

Hey, there's Scott.

Now what do we do about Carlos and the others?

I got some gear in the back, in case sh*t hits the fan.

But it won't, because we ain't gonna throw it.

Then when do we att*ck?

When the time is right.

And when will that be?

What was that?

Okay, that's one tall glass with ice, two sh*ts of vodka, Tabasco sauce, and one celery stalk.

You're an angel.

I think you're missing a key ingredient there, mister.

It'll come soon enough.

You can't rush the pump. Everything is working as planned.

It's smooth...

It's taking too long.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You push that pump, you're gonna blow that motor.

This is sacred ground you're on!

Boss said back off, leather d*ck.

Why don't you check yourself before you wreck yourself, Short Round, or I'll sic one of my new culebra girls on you.

That's right.

You'd be surprised at what you can find at a truck stop these days.

You have your Greek chorus, but mine is so much more beautiful.

Eye of the beholder.

Go play with your toys.

I'll finish securing our destiny.

You know, I may have gotten a nice new prick out of this deal, but it seems as though you have grown an epic set of balls.

You really think you can pull one over on Malvado?

Huh?

I already have.

Bullshit.

Girls, motorhome. Sexy time.

I sure hope this works out.

No room for doubt, Scott.

No more compromise.

If anything happens from this day forward...

...it's because I allow it.

He's not here. We should hide.

So this is where he turned you, isn't it?

No. Not yet.

Then how did those cuts on your ankle heal up so quickly, huh?

You're so naive, it breaks my heart.

Why didn't you listen to me?

How much are you going to make when he fucks me?

No one is gonna touch you. Now, get in the cage.

Or what?

Or he will touch you.

Many men will have their way with you, and I won't be there to protect you.

So if you listen and do as I say, you'll help me destroy those men.

He sees inside my soul and he gives me what I need.

Amancio gave me a purpose.

Amancio. Nice.

All I have to do is let myself be happy.

Something an ungrateful flaca bitch like you could never understand.

You're nothing but his sl*ve.

Better than being yours.

You don't deserve to be la diosa.

They will call me that now.

Ah!

Every time Malvado touched you, kissed you, f*cked you...

...you deserved it.

La diosa.

I'm sorry.

That's the girl I know.

So, uh... how's this work exactly?

You, uh... you take my skin, and then what?

You die.

No. I mean, then what for you, moron.

Richie's not gonna be very happy that you tortured and m*rder*d his brother.

Why do I care what Richie thinks?

Well, he's the new capo, ain't he?

Malvado will take care of me before he goes.

So let me get this straight.

You got your 20 fingers crossed waiting for a handout.

Or, better yet, you feel some sense of loyalty?

It's happened to all of us at one time, right?

Turned into a little bitch for somebody.

You stop putting yourself first.

It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to be his bitch.

Come on. What do you say?

Even the great Seth Gecko can't convince me.

That figures.

Just make sure you don't lose the keys, boys.

There's a man waiting for us upstairs.

Come with me, Santanico, and you'll feel no more pain.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

And my name is Kisa.

Where's Richard?

He's off to a better life.

I gave him exactly what he wanted.

You manipulated him. You got in his head.

And you didn't do the same?

Don't fight it. Let my venom fill your veins.

It will keep you still.

I didn't want it to be like this.

But I'm not gonna take you up there kicking and screaming.

I have to make you see things differently.

That's where I want to take you.

A place where you can walk in the sun.

Forever.

Let go of the stillness.

Come with me.

Now, tell me your name.

My name is... my name is Santanico.

We shouldn't wait any longer.

There's no sense in running in there, g*ns blazing, until it's all pumped.

Let them think they got it, they'll let their guard down.

Scott isn't safe down there.

You were gonna sacrifice him. You...

You were gonna just let him die in the crossfire?

This has got nothin' to do with Scott.

I was trying to protect you.

No, you don't care about me.

You don't care about anyone. You just care about yourself.

Did you sell everyone out, too?

My God, you did.

The world is a snake pit, Kate.

People bite you if you don't bite first.

You sound just like him.

He is a monster.

No, Kate.

He's almost gone. As soon as that well's dry, he's outta here.

Then everybody gets what they want.

Everybody.

You...

I what?

I did what I had to do, just like you did...

...when you buried that girl in the backyard.

Or when you k*lled that drifter.

This is bigger than your brother, Kate.

This is going to happen, it has to happen, and there's nothing any god can do about it.

Let me go.

Kate!

Damn it!

You and I are taking that.

You know, few people actually know I'm a member of the Green Party.

Ah!

Seth.

Seth.

Ah! Ah!

Seth.

Hey!

You... all right.

Ahh!

You know, for the record, I actually like you better than the other one.

Ah! Ah!

It's time to go.

Not done with my beverage yet.

That looks like enough.

El Rey requires payment in full.

We can't leave until every soul is released from the blood well.

You shouldn't have come here, Kate.

I'm trying to save your life, Scott.

Look, tell him what you told me.

You are being tricked.

If you don't stop that pump right now, Malvado and Richie are gonna get exactly what they want.

Richard?

Richard.

Go!

Look out!

Gimme the keys to the truck, Carlito.

Who the f*ck are you?

Nobody messes with my man.

So, how'd you do it?

How'd I do what?

How'd you get her to go with you?

She came to her senses when she realized exactly...

Seth.

Talk to me.

Talk to me. I need more.

Behind the desk. Hurry.

Close enough for government work.

Mm...

Mm... Mm.

Paradise awaits us.

Our time has come, mi diosa.

My name is Kisa.

Aaahhh!

Descarado.

You're a bitch.

True.

But I'm not your bitch.

Wings aren't gonna do you any good in here, linda.

Pretty sure she knows that.

Thanks for taking my call.

Only cost me 33 mill.

I took you by force once.

I'll take you again.

Seth, no!

Oh!

That the best you can do?

You should have learned the first time not to work with a Gecko.

Oh! Ah!

Because we'll always s*ab you in the back.

No.

Santanico, por favor.

I've waited a thousand years for this.

All I ever wanted was to live in eternity with you.

Is that so wrong?

I have all the possessions in the world.

But you were never a possession.

I always cherished you.

I still do.

Not anymore.

Kisa!

What did Malvado offer you?

He didn't offer me anything.

He gave it to me.

Now, why don't you let her go. She's not a part of this.

We're all a part of this.

I'm just along for the ride.

If you stop the pump, we can negotiate like men.

We're not men, d*ck.

And if by negotiate, you mean sh**t me and take everything I've worked for, I'm okay. Thanks.

What did he offer you?

Let her go, okay?

Not now, Scott.

He wants the well for himself.

And he betrayed everyone for it.

If this thing finishes pumping, Malvado gets everything he wants.

This blood doesn't belong to you or him or anybody.

It belongs to culebras like Scott.

She's right about that.

Nobody's gonna get anything unless you stop that pump right now.

Kate, don't!

No!

Scott?
