03x09 - The House of Death Floats By

[bunniefuu]

Definitely locked all
the windows

and doors when I went out

Before you accuse me
of having "demen-tia."

-Sorry. Having what?
-"Demen-tia."

It's a hard "T."
Everyone gets it wrong.

* *

f*cking looking for me?

(yells)

(yelling, grunting)

This is all I want.
The way people look at you.

The way they look at all of you.

-(g*nsh*t)
-Is he gonna be okay?

We got to f*cking go!

That place is f*cked.

I don't... I don't know
why you can't see that.

It's my home.

LETICIA (crying):
Coco, wake up!

Coco, wake up!

(Leticia crying)

(gasps)

(coughing)

I'm f*cking pregnant.

You're not alone in this.

(both grunting)

(sighs)
That was so f*cking hot.

-What is it?
-Single tire tracks.

You know I applied
for nursing school.

-Yeah.
-I got in.

-That's great, right? f*ck.
-Yeah.

(both laugh)

It's in Lodi.

Help me get us back
to who we really are.

We're the f*cking outlaws.

-GABRIELA: Stop!
-(grunts)

-Come on.
-Gaby.

-You got to relax!
-Gaby. Please.

Gaby!

-(panting sibilantly)
-(lock buzzes)

(panting)

(punches landing)

(panting)

(Gabriela screams)

(lock buzzes)

(panting)

(indistinct chatter in distance)

(man speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

* *

(sighs)

(drawer opens)

(water running)

(Angel exhales)

Sorry about yesterday.

Been f*cked-up lately.

Saw Adelita.

sh*t.
When?

Few days ago.

They let her out?

(clears throat)

Is she okay?

Nah.

She's not.

(sighs)

The baby?

Oh, f*ck.

My little boy.

I'm so f*cking sorry, Angel.

When she showed up

back out of the blue like that,

I told myself, "Don't ever
let her out of your sight."

"Don't ever let her go again."

But...

I... I wasn't enough
for her to stay.

You're gonna get
another sh*t, man.

You'll meet
the right girl and...

have a family.

I know.

(inhales sharply)

Nails.

(laughs)

She's pregnant.

Are you f*cking serious?

(snorts)

It's crazy, I know.

But...

well, maybe this was how
it was all supposed to go down.

(EZ sighs)

I ain't gonna f*ck this up.

This is my second chance.

You're gonna be a great dad.

You'll be a great dad.

But, bro, do me a favor.

-You got to start
wrapping that sh*t.
-(laughs)

You can't go around
f*cking knocking everybody up.

Oh, bro, I can't help it.

I got the proof baby juice.

Oh, my God.
You're f*cking gross.

-It's nature.
-(engine starts)

(EZ scoffs)

(dog barking outside)

* *

* *

sh*t.

If I knew
all I had to do was almost die

to get you
to clean up after yourself...

I couldn't sleep.

I figured, um,

fresh starts and all that.

For both of us.

(Coco sighs)

Um, I said some f*cked-up sh*t
the other day.

Sorry.

(sighs)

What's that?

I made a list of rehabs.

Nah, I-I ain't going
to no dog kennel.

Uh, no,
they're-they're real ones.

Man, we can't afford that sh*t.

Well, maybe I was thinking
the club could help.

f*ck that.
You can never tell them.

Uh, they're your brothers, Coco.
They love you.

Leticia, it'll be
a f*cking death sentence

if Bishop knew what I was doing
and what I've done.

Okay. We'll figure
something else out.

f*ck.

Hmm.
Hope out back?

What?

What?
What the f*ck did you do?

What did I do?

f*ck you!
I didn't do sh*t

but watch that skank
sneak out the f*cking door

-and leave your ass
while you were asleep.
-f*ck!

-f*ck!
-What?

Man, he's gonna
f*cking k*ll her, Letty.

Who?!

Coco, Coco.
Coco, what are you doing?

-Coco, no, no, no. Coco, please.
-Well...

Please don't go use. Please
don't go use. Please, Coco.

I'm not gonna get high. I swear.
I'm done with that sh*t.

I'm just gonna get Hope,
and I'm gonna

-f*cking bring her back, okay?
-No, no.

-Coco. Coco, don't do it. Coco.
-f*cking...

Coco, don't f*cking choose her
over me. Coco, please.

-Let-Letty, I'll be back.
-Please! Coco!

-Don't f*cking choose her
over me!
-I'll be back! I promise!

-Don't choose her over me!
-I'll be back. sh*t.

-Coco! Coco!
-I promise.

What do you think?

I think
you got some f*cking balls.

Your guys--

they got the training?

One of them does.

It was his job in the army.

Hooyah.

You lay it out there
for them yet?

Just the kid.

Wanted his input.

We'll let Creep
and Pavía and Lobo get back.

We'll celebrate a little.

Then it's going down.

Be nice
to put my kutte back on.

Feel f*cking naked without it.

I appreciate all you done.

And I won't forget it.

Just make sure

you get that m*therf*cker.

Canche will be dead

by sundown tomorrow.

(man speaking Spanish on TV)

(laughing)

(knocking)

You look pretty good
for a corpse.

The rumors of my death
are greatly exaggerated.

You got some balls
requesting a meeting.

That's why we're meeting here.

With them.

I'm curious to know
what's so f*cking urgent.

Securing your future.

Is this the guy?

It is.

You know El Banquero?

Only by reputation.

(shushes)

You know what
this glorious creature is?

(man continues speaking Spanish
on TV)

-An ostrich?
-Yes.

Of course a f*cking ostrich.

(mutes TV)

But what is an ostrich?

They are nomads.

Loners.

Until mating season.

And then they form alianzas
with other animals.

Zebras, antelopes.

All due respect,

what does an ostrich f*cking
an antelope have to do with me?

The ostrich doesn't f*ck
the antelope.

f*ck this.
I didn't ride out here

for some Sesame Street bullshit.

These are beautiful,
deadly creatures.

If they wanted,

they could kick right through
your f*cking intestines.

What you're ignorant of,

and what I'm here
to educate you on,

is the word "symbiosis."

The zebra's hearing,
the ostrich's sight,

the antelope's horns.

It's not misery.
(clicks tongue)

It's opportunity that...

acuesta al hombre
con extraños compañeros.

You want to tell me what
the f*ck he's talking about?

The Tempest, I believe.

And supplying you
with more heroin

than you could ever dream of.

Mayans' deal is with Galindo.

Galindo.
Galindo, Galindo.

He's so f*cking boring, eh?

(laughs)
Even his mistress says so.

You can ask her.

She works for me now.

If we were to learn to...

forage as one,

we could drive Galindo

and all the other creatures

to extinction.

Santo Padre's deal
is with Galindo.

What if Yuma became
the pipeline into the U.S.?

(man speaking Spanish on TV)

What's your part in all this?

I patch over,
become a Mayan and help you

drive Bishop and Santo Padre
off the face of the earth.

(indistinct chatter over radio)

I thought Gaby might be working.

I sent her home.

She couldn't be around here
with her face looking like that.

She okay?

What happened?

(sighs)
I f*cked up.

Why?

(exhales)

Because I'm f*cked-up.

(sniffles, exhales)

You know,
when I was a little boy,

I looked at Mom's book
of Goya's paintings.

And this one print... God, I've
never been able to shake it.

(exhales)

A dog is swimming in the ocean.

And you can tell he's...

he's about to get swallowed up
by this wave.

He's not gonna make it.

He's gonna drown.

That's how I've always felt.

Like I'm about to be
swallowed up by something.

Pop, I...

I spent my whole life
trying to lock it away.

But now the things I got to do
for the club...

The things I've done...

(exhales shakily)

Gaby, though.

She feels like...

She feels like a lifeline.

I can't lose her, Pop.

I'm gonna go find her.

I've never told
anyone that before.

(breathes deeply)

I love you, Pop.

(panting)

Mm.

I finally got Cris down
for his nap.

It only took

rounds of "Baby Shark."

(laughs):
Jesus, I'm sorry.

-That song.
-Mm.

No swim?

Mm-mmm.
Felt like a run today.

You should come with me
next time.

I'm good.

What the f*ck is that
on your neck?

It's nothing.

Did that m*therf*cker do that?

We got, uh,

a little carried away
last night.

It looks worse than it is.

-Emily.
-What? I thought

you of all people
would be glad we...

(whispers):
You know.

Glad he's strangling my sister?

Ple...

Stop. Stop being so dramatic.

Do you think
that wedding ring protects you

from what he really is?
Hmm?

What he does?

I know what he is.

I know what my husband does.

And I know
you have always judged him

but still come crawling
back to us

every time
you need to be bailed out.

Credit card debt?
Eviction?

Money to get away
from the loser boyfriend

who broke your jaw?

That's how I know, Emily.

Yeah, Dad f*cked both of us up.

And now we fall in love

with men that you can smell
that darkness on.

You stay

in this house, then you're
gonna f*ck your kid up, too.

That's right.
It's my kid.

My house!
My life!

You know what the truth is?
You've never been able

to stand to see me happy.

(drawer opens)

(drawer closes)

I know this is why
you're really here.

So let's stop pretending.

Just fill in however much
you need this time.

I came here...

...because I thought that,

for once, maybe you needed me.

Keep your blood money.

I hope you f*cking choke on it.

(vehicle approaching)

(engine turns off)

Not f*cking today.

What the f*ck am I walking into?

MIGUEL:
Marcus.

What's going on, Miguel?

Betrayal.

So much f*cking betrayal.

My mother was...

m*rder*d.

There were motorcycle tracks
left at the scene.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you, Marcus.

MIGUEL:
Nestor was... He was afraid

to tell us.

Afraid of what it could mean.

And what does it mean?

That my wife

enlisted the help
of her ex-lover.

EZ Reyes.

And together,

they conspired.

How f*cking stupid

do they think I am?

They're laughing at me

behind my f*cking back.

I've always worried where
your loyalty stands, Marcus.

But now I guess we'll find out.

Will you k*ll a Mayan?

Will you k*ll EZ Reyes?

* *

(door opens)

(door closes)

MAN:
She's not here, EZ.

Please, sir.
I need to talk to her.

(man exhales)

MAN:
She's not here.

Can you just...

Just tell her I'm sorry.

-Tío.
-Mija.

It's okay.

MAN:
Okay.

All right.

Gaby, I...

No.

Gaby, I'm so f*cking sorry.

You know
I'd never f*cking hurt you,

not in a million years.

I know.

It was an accident.

I was just... I just...

was just trying to protect you.

Last night
had nothing to do with me.

I asked you to stop, EZ.

They were kids.

Stupid kids
saying stupid things.

And the way you...

hurt them...

Don't say you did it for me.

I couldn't live with that.

Do you know what I went through
to escape v*olence?

Real v*olence.

What I had to go through alone?

Not knowing
if I'd ever see my family again.

Hoping...

the awful things
that happened to me

to get here...

...were worth the awful things
I'm trying to get away from.

I promised myself...

...that if I survived...

...I would never allow darkness
back into my life.

And you.

This...

is a choice.

That's the privilege
of being an American.

While the rest of us fight
so hard to survive...

...you flirt with death
like it's a hobby.

I've decided I'm going to Lodi
to be back with my family.

Oh, Gaby, please...

I have to, because...

if I stay...

...I'll betray
the terrified girl,

and I'll break the promise
that saved me.

I love you.

(sobbing)

And if you love me...

...you'll let me go.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Steve.

Steve!

Steve!

(rock music playing faintly)

Those are dirty.

Oh, yeah.
Sorry.

It's okay.

I hate prepping
for these parties.

Makes me miss Chucky.

Who's Chucky?

Well, he left
before you got here.

He was strange but...

very sweet.

Well, where'd he go?

Well, he fell in love
and moved to Ohio.

How crazy is that?

-Doesn't sound so crazy to me.
-(door opens)

HANK:
What the f*ck, Steve?

Detail my bike, prospect.

Mine, too, prospect.

While you're at it, prospect.

HANK:
What the f*ck, Steve?

Why are you still here?

Sorry, Hank.

Go.

I'm gonna miss that.

(laughter)

(indistinct conversation)

Hey.

Hey, about what
we talked about yesterday...

Hmm?

I shouldn't have
laid that on you.

-No, that wasn't fair.
-No.

I'm glad you did.

This isn't the kind of thing
you should go through alone.

Yeah.

-Well, actually...
-(door opens)

Hey, big man,
I got Creep on the phone.

Let's do it.

Uh, you... do you want to come
to dinner Thursday night?

Uh, it'll just be me and my mom.

(exhales)

She'll overfeed you.

I mean, she's, uh,
really a great cook.

Yeah. Sure.

Yeah?

Great.
I mean, that's...

that's really great.

Hank, we really need to talk
about what...

Hank.
You called this Templo.

Let's go.

(takes deep breath)

I-I got to go.

But, um...

(knocks on bar top twice)

You just made me really happy.

(whispers):
sh*t.

(turns engine off)

(sighs)

(whispers):
f*ck.

(sniffs, groans)

Hey, you got a minute?

No, I'm late for Templo.

Okay.

Sorry.

What is it, Steve?

You know that...

that thing that happened
up north?

The guy I...

Yeah.

I can't...

I can't stop seeing him.

I-I can't stop thinking
about him,

about his family.

EZ:
Hey.

f*cking look at me.

You put it away.

You f*cking lock it away.

This is what we signed up for.

This is who we are.

Everything else
is a f*cking lie.

This is who we f*cking are!

(door opens and closes)

* *

(gasps softly)
sh*t, you scared me.

What's wrong?

(sighs)
Erin and I...

She left.

I think for good.

She always comes back.

I said some awful things.

It'll be nice...

to have the house
to ourselves again.

(Emily sniffles)

* *

(man speaks indistinctly
in distance)

(quietly):
Hope? Wake up.

Come on, we got to go.

Come on.

-Coco?
-Yeah.

(g*n cocks)

(Hope sighs)

Come on, Hope.

It's okay, it's okay.
Come on.

(chuckles):
Little Bo-Peep.

Always the steep
and thorny path.

-(cheering)
-(music blaring)

(laughter)

Welcome back, brother.

(overlapping chatter)

What's up, dawg?

-(grunts)
-Way to f*cking handle the sh*t.

Thanks, man.

-You all right?
-Yeah... yeah.

(Bishop grunts)

CREEPER:
Club come first.
Club first, bro.

(Bishop speaks indistinctly)

Ramos.
Respect.

Whatever the club needs.

Thanks, man.

Hey, can a man get
a f*cking drink around here?

Yeah!

What the f*ck, Steve?

What the f*ck are you doing now?

I don't know.

Well, that's the problem--
you never do.

HANK:
Hey.

Take off that f*cking kutte.

(chuckles nervously):
Hank...

Now, prospect.

(music stops abruptly)

On the table.

As you all know,

Hank called
an emergency Templo today.

This club's about to embark
on some unchartered territory.

It's time
to shed the dead weight,

get rid of the f*cking trash.

Coco...

is officially out.

And you.

Hmm. You've only been here
four months,

but we've seen all we needed to.

So we took a vote this afternoon
and decided...

(Bishop chuckles)

...that Hun Hunahpu
should welcome another son.

-Yeah!
-f*ck yeah, bro!

(whooping)

Welcome to the tribe, brother.

TAZO (laughing):
Yeah.

Look at him.

-He don't know what to say.
-(laughter)

You k*lled in battle.

That means something.

(gasps)
You're one of us now, brother.

* Herbie said,
"Tony, can you fly?" *

* But Tony couldn't fly *

* Tony d*ed *

* Those are people
who d*ed, d*ed *

* Those are
people who d*ed, d*ed *

* Those are people
who d*ed, d*ed. *

You're not joining?

I thought I'd, um,
just watch you first.

Mmm.

It feels nice.

(Miguel clears throat)

(laughs)

(quietly):
Honey, come on.

You're gonna wake him up.

Come on.

Did he ask about his dad again?

Less today.

I don't know if it's gonna be
a good day when he stops asking

or if it's gonna be the worst.

Do I even want to know?

I've been thinking
about Esai a lot lately.

How it's not fair that...

...he didn't get to see
the change in me.

Having Tessa.

Meeting you.

Before I met you, Izzy...

I was something else, man.

Something worse.

I put everything
in front of my family.

What's bringing all this up now?

Work.

I'm afraid I'm about to do
the same thing.

Then don't.

-It's not that simple, Iz...
-It is.

You're just not letting it be.

You know, when I die,

I'm gonna have to do
a lot of answering

for a lot of sh*t
that I've done.

No.

(sniffles)

When you die,

you're gonna have to do
some answering

for abandoning me.

Mm?

Mine is the only wrath that
you should be worried about.

Mm?

(laughing):
I'm sorry.

-Uh-huh.
-I'm so sorry.

I'm just picturing you

-singing a cappella. (laughs)
-(chuckles)

Hey, it was very prestigious.

I'm sure it was.
(chuckles)

All right...

(both laugh)

Wow.

Mmm.

-Know what?
-Hmm?

I'll be right back.

Mm-hmm.

(sighs deeply)

* *

* *

Thank you.

-You relaxed?
-Mm-hmm.

(both chuckle softly)

Good, mi amor.

* *

(chuckles)

(indistinct chatter, laughter)

Hey.
Two more.

Maybe, but you weren't there.

-(indistinct chatter)
-(music blaring)

You know what?
Give me two.

Bro, watch this.

Hey, turn that sh*t down
for a second.

-Turn that sh*t down. Come on.
-(chuckling)

-What are you doing?
What are you doing?
-Come on.

-Come on.
-(music stops)

Hey, shut the f*ck up!

(indistinct chatter)

Like Prez said earlier,

we're about to start
on a new chapter.

One that's been
a long time coming.

But tonight...

tonight we celebrate
a brother's return.

GROUP:
Yeah.

And welcome a new member
to the family.

(cheering)

(chuckling)

And on that note...

-(mumbling)
-What are you doing?

Ladies,

sorry,

I am officially off the market.

-(group groaning)
-What?

Ladies, you're welcome.

I'm taking the b*llet
for all of you.

(laughter)

(whooping)

(music playing)

(laughter
and indistinct chatter)

* *

I can't keep up with you, man.

I can't keep up with me either.

(chuckling)

Is that Mom's ring?

Yeah.

She'd be so proud of you, man.

She'd be happy.

Think so?

Yeah.

-Love you.
-I love you, bro.

(grunts)

Pop know you stole that?

(both laugh)

EMILY:
I think I...

(grunts softly)

I think something is...

(breathing heavily)

(exhales)
Miguel, I-I...

Mm.

(breathing heavily)

(glass clinks)

(breathing steadily)

* *

* *

* *

(sniffling)

(panting)

Emily! Emily!

(grunting, panting)

(crying)

(retching)

-(coughing)
-(crying)

(crying):
I'm so sorry.

I'm f*cking sorry.

(crying)

(coughing)

(panting)

(Emily panting)

-(coughing)
-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(crying)

(Emily exhales)

(screaming)

(Montserrat speaking Spanish)

(panting)

(child whispering indistinctly)

(whispers):
Adelita.

(shouts)

(groaning)

(grunting, panting)

(breathing heavily)

Hey, straight up.
Straight up, bro.

Straight up, bro.
True story. True story.

These m*therf*ckers got me dead
to rights, bro.

I'm thinking, I'm thinking,
I'm thinking, "f*ck it.

f*ck it. I'm done." Right?
This is it.

This is f*cking it.
I'm good with that, bro.

What the f*ck are you doing,
man? Put that sh*t down.

BISHOP:
So I'm sitting there,
and out of nowhere,

-right, out of nowhere...
-You're a patch now.

You sit with us.

-Come on... come on.
-Dawg, have a seat, baby.

(Bishop laughs)

(laughter)

BISHOP:
Right? Okay,
so I'm sitting there, and this

m*therf*cker, bro,
this m*therf*cker...

I'm sitting there,
and I'm looking at him,

and I'm like, "Aw, sh*t.

This is it.
This is f*cking it."

And out of nowhere,
out of nowhere, right,

this m*therf*cker right here--

he comes strolling
out of the bathroom, right?

(laughter)

Bro, he was in there
so f*cking long,

I'd forgotten the m*therf*cker
was in there, bro.

I thought he might have
fallen in that sh*t.

* *

* Mighty spirit *

* Who controls *

* The shade... *

* Of... *

-I told you.
-(water sloshing)

Free will is a lie.

* I ask that... *

You may think this abortion of
a rescue was your idea, but...

(water sloshing)

See.

Little Bo-Peep,

I'm gonna tell you
a nursery rhyme.

It's a story about a wolf.

(Coco groans)

Ranchers hate wolves.

Wolves k*ll their livestock.

They take food out
of their mouths.

So when they come upon a den,
the ranchers will butcher

every male, female and pup

except for one.

-That wolf they spared?
-(Coco groans)

They fasten a GPS collar
around its neck.

They know she's gonna go out
and find herself another pack,

get herself adopted
into another family.

(muffled groan)

And then those f*cking ranchers
show up again

and k*ll them all.

(groaning)

Except...

(footsteps approaching)

That's right.

That damn tagged wolf.

(water sloshing)

They set her free...

to find another family.

Until they k*ll that pack.

And set her free
to find another.

Ad nauseam.

(panting)

Until that poor pup,

this tagged wolf--

she gives up.

She stops eating.

She lets herself starve to death
because she's realized

that the world is just
a dark, torturous place.

And there's no point
in loving anything

because God...

God would just destroy it.

(Isaac whimpers)

(sighing)

(sniffles)

I guess what I'm saying is,
don't be so hard on Hope.

She didn't know she was tagged.

Leading you back to me.

And she didn't know
I'm a rancher of souls.

And you...

...the little wolf
in sheep's clothing,

have repeatedly tried
to take food out of my mouth.

You tried to steal my pills.

You refused to share your bounty
with my people.

And what you pulled tonight...

(sniffles, sighs)

(muffled):
Oh. No. No. No! No!

(yelling)

First, I'm gonna get you nice
and pliable.

-No!
-And then, because you tried

-to take Hope from me...
-(yells)

No!

(whimpering)

* Its rightful place *

* As quickly as you bow *

* And I will burn... *

I'm gonna take every last bit
of hope left in you.

(car alarm chirps)

(sighs)

David?

Where the f*ck is my son?

We've got some catching up
to do, sis.

I hit this m*therf*cker
with the hammer, right?

I said, I said, bah!

-(laughter)
-Bah!
But-but no, no, no, no. Listen.

It was the f*cking claw side,
right?

-(laughs): Ah, no.
-BISHOP: And that sh*t got stuck

in that m*therf*cker's face,
dawg, and I'm sitting there.

And I'm looking
at this m*therf*cker,

and I tried to take
that f*cking claw.

I said... oh!

I'm standing
over this m*therf*cker

and I'm trying to take this
m*therf*cking thing out, right?

And every time,
every f*cking time...

STEVE:
I'm sorry, EZ.

-I don't think
I can put it away.
-Whoa-whoa-whoa!

(women screaming)

* If this is redemption *

* Why do I bother at all? *

* There's nothing to mention *

* And nothing has changed *

* Still I'd rather
be working for something *

* Than praying for the rain *

* So I wander on
till someone else is saved *

* I moved to the coast *

* Under a mountain *

* Swam in the ocean *

* Slept on my own *

* At dawn, I would watch the sun
cut ribbons through the bay *

* I'd remember all the things
my mother wrote *

* That we don't eat until
your father's at the table *

* We don't drink until
the devil has turned to dust *

* Never once has any man
I've met *

* Been able to love *

* So if I were you,
I'd have... *

* Was written on that wall *

* 'Cause we don't eat until
your father's at the table *

* We don't drink until
the devil's turned to dust *

* Never once has any man
I've met *

* Been able to love *

* So if I were you,
I'd have a little trust *

* But am I an honest man *

* And true? *

* Have I been good to you
at all? *

* Oh, I'm so tired
of playing these games *

* We'd just be running down *

* The same old lines,
the same old stories of *

* Breathless trains
and worn down glories *

* Houses burning,
worlds that turn on their own *

* So we don't eat until
your father's at the table *

* We don't drink until
the devil's turned to dust *

* Never once has any... *

Gaby?

(panting)

Gaby?

Gaby.

Don't make this harder, EZ.

You can't change my mind.
I have to go.

Let me go with you.

What?

I choose you.

(baby laughing)

(engine rumbling)

(sparking)

(engine revs)

(clanging)

PRAY TELL: I ain't goin' out
without a fight.

Here I am, living.
So I'm gonna continue
to do just that.

Drop that b*at!

Live...

work... and pose.

* No, you can't stop me *

* Or control me *

* No, you can't hold me down *

Yes, you may be
discriminated against.

But how do you find joy
amidst all of that?

It's up to you.
