Bandidos (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

[tense music playing]
YESTERDAY
[Ariel] Cuishe has a somewhat
herbal taste.
It's bitter.
As opposed to the flavor
of the madrecuishe.
Do you know why it's called "mother"?
It grows surrounded by smaller cuishes.
Which are like its children.
It protects them.
Just like I take care of my own.
Doesn't matter they're not my children.
They all receive my love.
[sniffs]
Keep the cash. I'm not interested.
The jaguar is all I want.
- What time did you say the plane leaves?
- [music ends]
TODAY
Wake up, guys!
Miguel! Get up!
Get up! Come on, get up!
There's no pilot! He's gone!
- There's no pilot!
- What happened?
- We lost our pilot!
- He's gotta be in the bathroom.
- He'll be back.
- No!
- I just watched him jump out the door!
- Ah, so he won't return.
Now do you get it?!
Are we there yet, Miguel?
[Miguel] Hey! [groans]
What, there's no pilot now?
He just jumped out!
Fuck! Don't any of you listen?!
Shouldn't someone have noticed?
I mean, we barely had anything to drink.
[Octavio] I noticed! Pretty hard to miss!
I think they drugged the champagne.
Hey, guys, for your next little outing,
please don't invite me.
[somber Western music playing]
Let's just try
to suppress our anger, all right?
The most important thing we can do now
is remain calm, okay? Got it?
All we have to do is open that door,
and voilà, we're all good.
Miguel, you and me are gonna try on three.
- One, two, three.
- No, no, no, that won't work!
These things are designed
to be impenetrable!
- [Citlali] Well, then shoot it.
- Come on!
It's more likely
we'll get hit by a stray bullet and die!
- Hey, would you
- So, one of you's a pilot now?
- [Miguel] No.
- Then stop acting like rodeo clowns, boys.
[Miguel] At least
he left the autopilot on.
Oh shit!
Turbulence, guys!
- We're gonna die, aren't we?
- No, no, no.
The odds of being in a plane crash
are near zero. One in a million.
There's no safer way to travel.
Seven times safer than trains.
The dangerous part is takeoff.
We survived that.
- We'll survive the landing too
- [Wilson] Enough!
I love you. But you don't
always have to be so optimistic.
Thank you.
No, look. We really only have one option.
We jump out.
When you say, "jump,"
you mean, like, outside?
What would you prefer? This plane
isn't going to land itself, guys.
The cop is right.
Either we jump or we all die.
I'm not jumping. I can't.
Hey, Lucas. You know,
it's normally expensive to skydive.
- Today, it's free!
- Forget it, I don't care!
Lucas, will you check your GPS
to see where we're going?
- [Lucas] Okay.
- Do we have parachutes?
- Good question.
- We'll get that door open!
- [Inés] No, no, no. What are you doin'?
- One!
[Inés] No!
- [Miguel] Two!
- [Inés] Octavio!
- Three!
- No!
[Octavio groans] It didn't open.
- Here, man, here. You okay?
- Yeah.
According to the GPS,
we're nearing the pyramid.
- See! Not all the news is bad!
- [Wilson] Miguel!
What I don't get
is how someone knew we were on this plane.
- That too is a good question.
- [Wilson] When did you rent this plane?
When? I don't know,
a few hours before you arrived.
Well, so you knew the pilot, right?
I don't know any pilots.
Dude was in the hangar!
Hey, someone knew we were coming.
Oh, the champagne!
The champagne, who brought it?
I was the first on the plane,
and there was no bottle.
Someone had to bring it aboard.
Someone brought the bottle.
- What is it you're really saying?
- She's saying that one of us is a traitor.
[unsettling music playing]
[music fades out]
- Very well.
- [quirky music playing]
After we said goodbye last night,
what did you do?
Where were you?
Who did you talk to? Where did you go?
Did you talk to your moms?
Did you talk to your girlfriends,
your boyfriends, your lovers?
Fucking cops. Look, we're not obligated
to tell you anything, okay?
Wait, hold on. I want to know, as well.
And we can start with Wilson.
What the hell happened to his face?
Because we all see it, right?
His black eye?
Don't tell me you fell down,
because I'll throw you out of here myself.
Hey, hey, hey. Easy, huh?
No, it's fine.
I'll tell you. No problem, man.
[Inés] Can we check your phone, then?
See where you've been? C'mon.
- Here it is.
- Quick, Wilson.
Lucas.
[Wilson] You go ahead
and look all you want.
I got nothing to hide
from you bunch of bitches.
[Miguel] All right, Willy. Let's recap.
We were all on the beach. Then Lilí said,
"I think I know where it is."
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.
"The treasure has gotta be
in the pyramid."
And then everyone went their own way.
So, what did you do, Uncle Willy?
[Wilson] I walked home.
I wanted to be alone.
To think about the plan.
Then, on the way,
when I was passing the boardwalk fair,
a couple of guys jumped me
for the cash in my wallet.
- Did you know them?
- I'd never seen them before.
- Where's our money, fool?
- I just need a little longer.
Fine. Tch-tch!
You have two days, motherfucker. Two days!
After my beatdown, I went straight home.
That's great! Wonderful story!
However, I don't think
anyone buys it, though.
- Because I don't buy it.
- He's telling the truth.
So we only have three parachutes.
- [Lilí] Only three?
- Mm-hmm.
- And you checked everywhere?
- No, I forgot to check the library, Lilí.
And is three enough?
Yeah, no.
And that's assuming they work.
Can I be optimistic?
We've got three parachutes, at least!
So we can go in pairs.
There's seven of us.
What I think,
picking up your story, Wilson,
is that you ran into
a couple of douchebags sent by Ariel,
and they beat you for the information.
Calm down there, muscles.
I'm not afraid of you.
- You should be.
- Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey.
- Both of you. Enough.
- He would never betray Miguel.
Besides, this traitor thing's
a bit absurd.
Who's gonna risk
dying on a plane without a pilot?
Okay. Lucas,
how far are we from the pyramid?
Uh, the GPS says that
we're 20 minutes away.
That means we have 20 minutes
to weed out whoever the traitor is.
- And they'll go down with the plane.
- No, no. We're not leaving someone here.
- Why not?
- Because we're not.
Okay, moving on, then. Miguel, you're up.
Tell us what you did last night?
Without lying if you can.
- Yeah, sure.
- Hey! Hand it over.
Last night,
I went and got some pot for my dad.
And I was with him until I went
to the airport to rent the plane.
Then I went back to the hotel
and played Call of Duty with Lucas.
And I beat him for the very first time.
Right, Lucas?
Yeah. He's telling the truth.
Well, that seems pretty ridiculous,
but let's move on.
And you, princess?
Tell us if we can trust you.
It wouldn't be the first time
you betrayed someone.
So, how much did that
shithead Ariel offer you, Lilí?
Did you guys know
that Lilí isn't even her real name?
What are you talking about?! Octavio!
Yes! I knew something was up!
Her passport was fake too!
And you made it, right, Wilson?
Look, Ariel kept my phone, all right?
- [suspenseful music playing]
- And I went straight home.
- [Octavio] Are there witnesses to that?
- Only my dog.
Hi, Clinton!
- [Clinton whimpers]
- Okay.
Let's see, how about now?
I took a shower,
packed my bags, and that's about it.
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
I spoke with no one
and just stayed there all night.
[Octavio] Sure. And you cut your lip
taking a bubble bath, right?
- [CitlalI] I don't believe you, sweetie.
- [Wilson] All right, little mermaid.
All we know about you
is that you rob others. What else?
- Sure, but aren't you all thieves too?
- Well, except for Inés.
- She really only just started to steal.
- What about you, Citlali?
What were you doing last night?
- Well, I threw a party.
- [Inés] Mm-hmm?
Lots of people came.
We had an awesome time.
[poignant guitar music playing]
[music ends]
They left at about four in the morning,
and then I watched
an episode of Black Clover.
You like that show, don't you, Lucas?
And let me guess.
You didn't go anywhere after that, right?
Course not.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades out]
- She's telling the truth.
- Oh, isn't this a big surprise.
Sonny and Cher got each other's back here.
Go ahead, check mine if you want.
- Nah.
- [Lilí] Ah, Lucas.
Okay.
Who's gonna interrogate the cop? Huh?
Nobody finds it weird
that a cop is suddenly helping us?
Last night, I just went home.
I made some ammo soup
and went right to bed.
[Wilson] Yeah, sure you did.
[tense music playing]
LESBIAN
[sighs] Oh my God.
[Lucas] She's telling the truth.
Of course I'm telling the truth, Lucas.
Well Octavio, your turn.
What'd you do last night?
Nothing.
- Same as you guys.
- Why didn't you drink champagne?
- He doesn't drink.
- Haven't drunk for 3 years.
- Why don't you drink?
- It makes me violent.
- You're still pretty violent, asshole.
- Not compared to then.
Okay, give us your phone.
We checked all the rest.
I won't give up my phone.
You all were lying.
[Inés] What was that?
[Lucas] Has the autopilot been disabled?
[alarm beeping]
- Did anyone else's ears just pop?
- [Lucas] Yes!
Hey, we're losing altitude, guys!
- According to the GPS, we have
- Fuck the GPS. We gotta jump!
Okay, as soon as Octavio
shows us his cell phone!
Check it on the ground!
- Right now, we gotta go!
- I can't jump! I can't!
All of us are jumping! Even if it means
I gotta put a pistol to your head!
Look, the ladies can share one!
- Since they don't weigh as much!
- What?
[Miguel] Okay. All right Oh!
All right, but Octavio,
hand over your fucking cell phone!
- [Inés] No!
- No one's taking my phone! I'd rather die!
- Breathe!
- [Octavio] I'm gonna jump!
- Fuck you guys if you won't do it!
- You're not that guy now! Chill!
Just breathe, okay, breathe!
Relax, we're friends!
- No!
- Oh no!
Lilí!
- I have to help her!
- [music intensifies]
[Inés] No, Miguel!
- Don't do it! Wait, Miguel!
- No! Miguel!
[music intensifies]
[Lilí screams]
Wilson, please! Wilson!
No, no, no, no, no!
This is all your fault, asshole!
Lucas, that's the way it has to be.
You have to jump.
Children first.
Grab onto her! Don't let go!
- [Lucas] I don't want to! I don't want to!
- Ready?
[Lucas] Please, please. No, I can't do it!
- Lucas!
- I don't want to!
- Stop it, just look at me!
- I can't do it!
- Please! Have you bought your knapsack?
- Well, it's really a backpack
[Lucas screams]
Okay, now you guys!
We are not leaving without you!
- No, I'm gonna try to land the plane.
- Our parachute will hold all three of us!
- All right. Let's go.
- [Wilson] Here we go!
- [Octavio] I'm sorry, Inés!
- Octavio!
[music stops]
- [calm spiritual music playing]
- [birds chirping]
- [Miguel whoops softly]
- You jumped out of a plane.
You would have jumped as well.
[Lilí] Are you all right?
Did you break anything?
[groans] No, nothing, all good!
You?
Did you notice
everyone thinks I'm a traitor?
Well, If I hadn't known where you were,
I would've thought the same thing.
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
[men groaning]
Lilí!
Lilí! Stop! Stop!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
- [Lilí] Let's get outta here.
- You're okay. [softly] You're okay.
[dramatic musical flourish]
You wanna explain what that was, Lilí?
[melodic pop music playing]
We should go.
There's treasure waiting for us.
[Miguel] Right.
[music stops]
[Wilson] No! No, no! No, no, no!
Hey! Do you want me to lose my other leg?
[chuckles] Did you try to beat the train?
Huh?
- How'd you lose it?
- Uh
mall escalator.
I was wearing these jeans
with bell-bottoms
- Are you okay?
- [Inés] Oh no! [chuckles]
Oh, that's hilarious.
- [both laughing]
- [Inés] Don't make me
[Miguel] Need a hand,
or shall we come back?
- Hey, shorty. I'm glad you made it alive.
- [laughter continues]
[Citlali laughing]
- [Citlali] No way, man!
- Wait a minute.
[Citlali] Can you believe that?
Oh, holy shit!
How long do you think
we were skydiving for?
I don't know.
I don't even know where we are.
- Let's see.
- Ah! No way, dude!
- If we came from the north
- [laughing]
- and the sun will set
- We flew, man!
- Where does the fucking sun set?
- Uh
- Uh, let's see.
- [sighs loudly]
- I think we're lost.
- It's okay. Cool.
[calypso music playing]
[Citlali] How romantic!
[music ends]
- [Miguel] And Citlali and Lucas?
- [Inés] We have to look for them.
- Were they able to get out?
- Mm-hmm.
[Miguel] And Octavio?
Octavio I just hope he's okay.
- You know, I read your file.
- Ooh!
[chuckles] How does the child
of such a famous archaeologist
wind up scamming tourists?
School was never really my bag.
I like doing what's easy.
[chuckles] So, this is easy for you?
And you?
Long version or short?
Long story, always.
Well, my ex-husband is a son of a bitch.
- And the short one?
- Hmm.
[Wilson coughing]
He has an important position
with the police.
And he's psychologically abusive.
Hmm. Though it's not always psychological.
He gets jealous.
Very jealous.
I wasn't allowed male friends.
And so I ended up
fucking my best girlfriend.
[Miguel chuckles] Yeah.
And then he took from me
what matters most in the world.
And so I need money.
I need a lot of money,
so I can get it back
and take the whole shitty system
down somehow.
One way or another,
I'm getting my son back.
I don't care
if I have to bribe the president.
[Wilson clears throat, coughing]
- Wow!
- [chuckles]
Do you think they all survived?
I saw you in my room last night.
[dramatic musical flourish]
[dramatic musical flourish]
Then why didn't you
say anything on the plane?
Well because because they would
have thought that you were the traitor.
And I know you're not.
- Why didn't you take the cash?
- [sighs]
Do I need to explain
everything to you, Lucas?
- [chuckles]
- [melodic pop music playing]
[music intensifies]
- No! Stop! Oh God!
- [needle scratches vinyl]
[music stops]
[music reprises]
[music stops]
[Wilson coughing]
Are you okay?
[coughing continues]
- This should open my lungs.
- [chuckles]
[Miguel] Hey!
Don't get left behind!
Don't lie to him.
Why are you bringing that up?
[lighter sparking]
Ah, you're like a mother to him.
Juan and I raised him
to become a good man.
Don't ruin him.
You're sick.
You shouldn't hide this from him.
[poignant Western music playing]
How'd you figure it out?
[dramatic musical flourish]
[dramatic musical flourish]
Why did they beat you up?
I owe them a lot.
I I spent it all
because I don't have health insurance.
How bad is it?
Cancer.
- From smoking?
- Pancreas.
I'm sure with the treasure,
you can afford some decent treatment.
There's nothing they can do.
Lilí, don't tell Miguel.
Let's go.
- [music ends]
- [dramatic musical flourish]
Hey, um
Not right now, all right?
It was nothing.
That stuff happens.
It's totally normal, you know?
- And And it's
- Enough!
- [branches cracking]
- [Lucas gasps]
[Inés] Hey!
I found the youngsters!
[tropical music playing]
[Lilí] You better hope
the treasure is in this pyramid.
You won't believe
what I had in those suitcases.
- Octavio was still on board.
- Yeah, I know.
You think I'm not aware?
[Wilson] Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
welcome, all of you,
to the last empire of the Kaan Dynasty.
[Miguel clears throat]
Well, technically, it's not the last one.
You know, in Guatemala,
they just found a bunch
[Lilí] Miguel.
What? Oh, that's right,
you're not interested.
- But I'm interested.
- Thanks!
[Inés] Do we know how to use
the one key that we already have?
I have an idea.
- [Western music playing]
- [Citlali] Of course.
Ah, fuck me.
You won't be a step ahead
every time, Morales.
Jesus.
- [music ends]
- And what have you found?
Was it worth all the trouble?
You can't throw me a bone
after all we've been through?
We can leave whenever you like, miss.
- [Citlali] It was her?
- [Lucas] What?!
The champagne.
- She brought it.
- I jumped off a plane for you!
[Citlali scoffs]
[Western music playing]
So sorry.
Ariel will help me.
You won't.
[henchman] Sir?
- [gun cocks]
- What do we do with them?
[overlapping shouting]
[Miguel] No, no, no! Wait!
Please, no. Please, hey, wait!
- [Inés] No, no, no, no!
- [Miguel] Don't leave us in here! Wait!
- Hey! We can share the treasure, okay?
- [Inés] Hey! Hey, let us out!
[henchman] Let's go.
[Lucas] We're gonna suffocate to death!
There's no signal down here!
- [Inés] Son of a
- [Lucas] Come on!
That wasn't necessary. Ariel never said
to lock them in the chamber.
Ariel isn't here.
[tense music playing]
But if you prefer,
I can leave you with the others.
[music stops]
[metallic rattle]
[Miguel sighs]
[Miguel] No, no, no, no, no, no!
Argh, they took the treasure!
Never mind the treasure.
Let's find a way outta here.
I swear to you, if we get out of here,
I'm going to kill that bitch, for real.
If we get out of here.
You guys.
Up there.
It looks like Bonampak.
Shorty! Focus, a way out!
[Miguel] Right, right.
[door opens]
That's all that was in the pyramid.
I left it sealed.
"Forgive me, my love."
"I broke my promise."
"I'm going back to Spain. Francisco."
Is that it?
You're disappointed?
In three sentences, you have
the betrayal of love and an apology.
A parting farewell.
Francisco was in love with her.
That's why he deceived the conquerors.
[solemn drumbeat]
His dream was
to share with her all his money.
But in the end, he just betrayed her.
Took the gold. Fled with it all.
[solemn drumbeat]
[sighs] How could you possibly
know those things?
He chose gold over love.
[Ariel] The signature looks authentic.
But I'll need to analyze it at the museum.
[solemn drumbeats]
[mystical music playing]
[sighs]
[music fades out]
[scraping sound]
[Inés] Hey, sh!
- Did you hear that?
- [Citlali] What?
- [wood banging]
- That!
[Miguel] It's Lilí!
- [Citlali] I don't think so.
- [Miguel] Lilí?
[Inés] Get back!
[Citlali] Hello?
[footsteps approaching]
- [all gasp] Octavio!
- Octavio!
Hi. it's good to see you too!
- [Citlali] Ouch.
- [Octavio] You asshole.
- I said I wasn't the traitor.
- Why didn't you show us your phone, then?
He was protecting my honor.
[dramatic musical flourish]
[Inés] Because he was with me all night.
[Latin guitar music playing]
[music ends]
- [Wilson] Ah! Look at you two!
- [all] Ooh!
- Let's go!
- [Miguel] Hubba-hubba!
My God!
- Okay, now what?
- No idea. Is there even a treasure?
Well, if you want,
I can lend you some money.
I'll just steal it
from my parents, you know.
Oh, for the love of Christ!
Are we really gonna let that douchebag
and that bitch Lilí get away
- Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't call her that!
- You're defending her?
- Lilí only cares about herself.
- You gonna hit me?
- [Western music playing]
- No. It's like hitting a little girl.
[Citlali] How rude!
[somber Western music playing]
[music fades out]
I've been looking for you.
The document is authentic.
So, what do you think
Francisco did with the treasure?
I don't understand.
When he died in Salamanca,
his heirs, they received no inheritance.
If we can't find the treasure
will you still help me out?
I mean, as long as you're with me,
- I'll always look out for you.
- [chuckles softly]
You really can't protect me.
You're aware of my influence.
It's nothing compared to who's after me.
Who's after you?
[suspenseful music playing]
I think I know what happened.
Francisco said in his note
he was headed to Spain.
Yes. Li Lilí, be be careful.
It's incredibly valuable.
P Please, put some gloves on! [sighs]
When was it?
[sighs] In 1550, he was required
by the Council of the Indies
and forced to return to Spain.
Here it is. 1550, February 19th.
Francisco de Montejo departs from Yucatán
with two ships bound for Santiago de Cuba.
But the treasure never made it there?
The registry of Cuba.
Fifteen days later,
he arrived in Santiago de Cuba
but only registered one ship.
So he took it
but he sank the one with all the treasure.
Now we just have to
figure out where it sank.
- Where have you been all my life?
- Ariel, I move around.
God, this is gonna make us extremely rich.
- This deserves a toast, then.
- [music stops]
[Ariel] You're gonna love this.
The ship sank three days after departure.
That means it's somewhere
between Cancún and Cuba.
Madrecuishe.
You haven't forgotten.
Uay Balam.
Uay Balam.
People will come
from all over the world to my museum.
Just to see the jaguar. [chuckles]
It's the biggest
archaeological discovery since
Tutankhamun's tomb. [chuckles]
And it
it wasn't Juan Morales.
It was Ariel.
Ariel Tavitian. Hm.
[unsettling music playing]
- And, well, you'll get credit too.
- [chuckles]
[Ariel grunting softly]
I'll give you anything.
[Lilí chuckles]
[clearing his throat]
[echoing] You'll make me happy
if you go to sleep.
[slurring] Son of a
[fingers clicking]
[Ariel groans]
Hey!
How's your head, sweetie?
You know, that's weird 'cause this mezcal
doesn't cause hangovers.
Not at all. Not at all.
- Oh, I'm in hell.
- Crazy, right?
Don't see each other for years,
then, boom, boom, boom, we're everywhere!
What a small world!
Back together, huh?
I never left.
Rule number 11.
- Ah! Put someone
- No, that doesn't exist!
- [overlapping dialogue]
- You almost died!
- Well, I had to get everybody to believe.
- There's the rest.
[Miguel] Hey! Go ahead, Ariel.
Say hello to the band.
I knew if they didn't believe it,
you wouldn't either.
Let's go.
We'll take advantage of the low tide.
- 'Cause we have treasure to find, Ariel!
- [all laughing]
- You're not going anywhere!
- [somber Western music playing]
Untie me.
Come on, untie me!
- Traitor!
- Don't kill us. Please.
Please, we'll leave.
[Ariel] You traitor!
[somber Western music playing]
- You still don't recognize me?
- I mean, it's nothing personal.
I'm usually pretty good with faces,
and yours will probably haunt me
for the rest of my life.
You and your father robbed me, Miguel.
This was your handiwork.
[dramatic musical flourish]
- [Juan] Hurry up, Miguel!
- [boss] Motorcycles!
Come on!
Damn bike! Just start!
[explosion]
I was just a kid.
[dramatic string music playing]
You have to go through me!
- [knife unsheathes]
- [flesh squelches]
[henchman] Hey! Stop it!
Let me go! Let Get off of me!
- Wilson! Wilson!
- [laughing]
- Wilson!
- [laughter continues]
Wil, Wil! Wil, Wil, Wil!
I had burns all over my body.
Do you know what fire does to the skin?
It's completely full of nerve endings.
You can't imagine the pain.
Not even morphine worked.
They had to operate on my brain.
And now I don't feel anything.
[sniffs, spits]
I want them all tied up.
[sobbing] Uncle Wilson, no.
- [music stops]
- [inaudible dialogue on monitor]
Hey, how did you get that scar?
That was in Afghanistan.
A grenade exploded nearby
I got lucky. Wasn't too bad.
Um, and on your back?
I saw it.
That was, um
That was a mistake.
One I won't make again.
