Red Widow (2013) s01e03 Episode Script

The Consignment

1 I wanna dance with my wife.
Previously, on Red Widow No one steals from Schiller (silenced gunshot) Schiller was ripped off two nights ago.
Couple of his guys were killed.
What did you do to us?! If you don't get out, I will take the kids and I will leave you.
(three gunshots) Mr.
Schiller will see you now.
I want you to import a consignment for me.
But where? When? How? I'll be in touch.
I want you to teach me the business.
The most important player is the port supervisor.
Give me $10,000 more.
(chokes) Uhh! (gasps) We're gonna need a new supervisor.
Bob Lagrosse.
He's paying massive alimony.
You haven't done anything that you can't come back from.
You haven't gone too far yet.
The consignment will be at berth 36.
Friday, 3:00 P.
M.
I hope you're ready, Mrs.
Walraven.
(cell phone rings) Marta.
The number's blocked.
(ring) - This is Marta.
- There has been a change.
Bring Mr.
Schiller's delivery to the meeting place at 6:00 P.
M.
tonight.
It's supposed to be 7:00.
As I said, there's been a change.
(phone beeps) (man speaks Russian) No matter how old he gets, he never quite manages to die.
And would you like me to correct that? (sighs) I admire his tenacity.
Mrs.
Walraven has been updated.
She seemed, uh Nervous.
Well, she should be.
That gives me one less hour to pull this off.
(sighs) I don't know.
Do you do you even wear makeup to a drug smuggle? It doesn't matter, okay? But you do need to be able to walk.
(sighs) God.
Who am I kidding? I'm I'm a soccer mom.
You're also a Petrov.
I can call dad if you want a reminder.
No.
Please don't.
(boot thuds) I don't want him and Luther to know this is happening today.
They can't get involved.
Well, you're gonna need them.
Hey, mom, I'm borrowing your kindle.
Okay! Okay, listen to me.
This is all gonna work.
- Or I'll end up in jail.
- Hey.
Or dead.
Stop.
Don't even think that.
You have a plan.
Okay? You have your port supervisor.
Yeah.
Bob.
I have Bob.
It's just one job.
One day, right? Tomorrow starts the rest of your life as a charter boat operator dealing with drunken tourists (chuckles) and spoiled college kids.
(chuckles and whispers) No one threatening me with guns.
Yeah.
You just Have to survive today.
Okay.
- Just survive today.
- Yeah.
(singsongy) Boris, come on.
We're running late.
Oh.
Where's your other shoe, bobo? I don't want her to shrink my brain.
It'll hurt.
Look, the psychologist is not gonna hurt you.
She's just gonna get rid of your nightmares.
Kat: And then we're gonna do math and go take care of grandma.
Is grandma gonna make food for us? No.
Grandma's having eye surgery, remember? Don't worry, bobo.
I'm not gonna make you eat tofu.
Come on.
Let's go find your other shoe.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Um Excuse me? Do I know you? Hey.
Oh, hey, mom.
This is bliss.
She just moved into the Carnahans' old house.
It is so surreal being here.
I mean, like, every time I walk by your driveway, I want to cry.
And they still don't know who did it, huh? Can I have a word with you? One second.
Why is she here in a bikini? - Don't you have school? - No, we don't.
It's teacher evaluation day, mom.
Oh.
Oh, I thought that was next week.
All right, I need the two of you to go with Boris to Aunt Kat's.
- What? - Why? I've got work to do at the marina all day, and I don't want you home alone.
But we've stayed home before.
Mom, I got this.
Okay.
Fine.
Your friend has to go.
The alarm stays on.
No one comes in.
No one goes out.
I need to know that you're safe.
Safe from what? Door-to-door salesmen.
Boris! I can flip her.
Give me the men and the resources.
I'll get her to wear the wire.
Marta Walraven's a novice.
Which is why Schiller won't see her coming.
If she muffs it, she'll get herself killed and deep six everything we built on Schiller.
She can take care of herself.
She was raised by Bratva.
James, I'm gonna be honest, okay? You already lost the husband.
Six months ago, it was Muñoz.
Two in the same year.
I mean, I get it.
You want to prove something to yourself.
But I'm telling you (knock on door) James? You in there? The ladies' is one door down, Newton.
I got a phone-in on hold.
Potential lead.
Look, for now, just monitor the wife and see if something pops.
Something just popped.
Marta: So everything's set with Bob at the port.
- Did you get the van? - Yeah.
I rented the van last night.
- We're good to go.
- We have less time now.
Will you stop angsting? You are freaking me out.
Hey.
Does this say serious but still fashion is art? I have a meeting with an important designer today.
I will pick you up at your house, and then we'll go to the port.
Okay? You always look great.
- (kisses) I'll be home late.
- Okay.
(telephone rings) Hello? Who's calling? Mike.
Pablo someone.
(whispers) I just left.
Hi.
How'd it go, bobo? Okay, I guess.
Boris, why don't you wait out here while I have a word with your mom? - Okay.
- Oh.
Okay.
Maybe it's better if Boris doesn't remember the shooting.
His subconscious remembers.
Hence the nightmares.
But Boris feels guilty that he can't remember for you.
For me? He knows how badly you want the killer caught.
Caught.
Yeah.
(whispers) dead, better.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Maybe your kids feel the same.
Sharing your feelings with them might help (cell phone buzzes) (buzz) (beep) I-I'm sorry.
So I-I should tell my children that I wanna kill somebody? Maybe not.
But showing them that it's okay to be sad and scared, angry (cell phone buzzes) (buzz) Might help them acknowledge (buzz) Do you need to take that? (buzz) What? What are you talking about, Bob? Logan.
He he said he was working with you.
Logan? The other supervisor, he turned us down.
That's why we're working with you.
Oh, God.
Uh Uh, Logan cornered me.
He he started going over the details of the job.
The time, berth.
He he had them wrong, so I-I corrected him.
So now he knows everything.
Yeah.
And it gets worse.
Uh, he said he wants a cut.
25 grand before the ship docks or he's going to the feds.
So Uh, what does this mean? What does this mean? It means we're being blackmailed, Bob.
(video game music playing) 1x03 The Consignment (door closes) Mom, I thought you were dropping Boris off at aunt Kat's.
I don't have time.
I forgot some paperwork.
Mom, what is going on? Why is Uncle Mike outside? Uh, we have a business meeting.
About what? Why are you acting so weird? Sweetie, I'm not acting weird.
I'm just I'm late.
Okay? I need you guys to take care of Boris for me while I'm gone.
Okay? Have him read a book.
(video game music playing) No TV! (van horn honks) (honks horn) People live here, Uncle Mike.
Sorry.
I just, uh Don't wanna be late.
For what? Marina business? Yeah.
Marina business.
We're taking some people on a booze cruise.
No, you're not.
What do you mean "no, we're not"? I just said we were.
What's the van for? To pick up the booze.
(chuckles) And you need my mom's help for that? Yeah, I do.
(lowered voice) Does this have something to do with guns? What?! Guns? No.
Nat, give me a break.
Will you just go see what's keeping her? Please just tell me the truth.
(honks horn) (mouths word) (purse thuds) (unzips) (horn honks) (horn honks) I'm leaving! Watch boris.
(front door closes) I'm serious, Gabe.
Maybe whoever killed dad is threatening mom.
(lowered voice) Look, just because you think you heard her talking about guns No, you know she's been nervous.
Gabe, what aren't you telling me? Look Mom doesn't want you to know but dad did some bad business, and he left it to mom to clean up his mess.
What are we whispering about? Nothin'.
(sighs) So you're gonna watch Boris for Gabriel? (utensil clatters) I'm what? I gotta drive Bliss somewhere.
Come on.
(lowered voice) Mom's got it under control, okay? Hey, bud, I gotta go somewhere, okay? Do exactly what Natalie says, all right? Okay.
(lasers firing) (ship horn blows) Marta: What do undercover cops look like? Like everybody else.
That's the point.
(sighs) Logan better get here on time.
We've only got an hour till the ship comes in.
What? You just happened to have 25 grand laying around? Evan planned ahead.
Do you think that guy is a fed? Logan didn't call the feds, Marta.
He's a drunk who pisses his money away.
He just wants the 25 grand.
You think that'll be the end of him? Not even remotely, but if he comes back for more, we'll deal with it then.
(sighs deeply) Right.
Just survive today.
He's here.
Give me the money.
(whispers) No.
(normal voice) Logan tried to strangle you, but he never saw my face.
You think that gives you a better chance at walking away from this? Not even remotely.
(machinery whirring) (cell phone rings) (ring) (ring) Hello? (sniffs) Dina: where are you? The marina.
Why? Because your friend Pablo is here.
Pablo's there? At at the house? Yeah, and some guy Cristos (lowered voice) Who eats with his mouth open.
Y-y-you fed them? He's hypoglycemic.
I gave him some cheese.
Here.
Pablo wants to talk to you.
No, no, no.
Babe.
Babe.
(groans) I've been calling.
Cristos and I were in the neighborhood, so I'm gonna pay back the loan.
I just need a couple more days.
I like your place.
And your wife muy bonita.
You'll get your money.
Please, leave my wife alone.
Only if you promise we'll see each other soon.
I promise.
What the hell is happening? Drive.
Did you give it to him? No.
My instincts tell me something's wrong.
What instincts? Your criminal instincts? - Just give me the money.
- Mike! Ramos? Holy crap.
- Do you think he saw you? - No.
Logan wanted payback.
You were right.
You were totally right.
I'm gonna call Bob.
And I thought Evan had good instincts.
Well, just go slow.
Bob? Stop everything.
The feds are outside the port.
If you let that container off the ship, we're screwed.
Then we're screwed! The container isn't scheduled to be put on your truck for - for another hour.
- No, Bob, we don't have an hour.
Can you just get it on another truck? The system is computerized, okay? Someone's gonna notice.
Okay, can you call it a glitch? Okay, when when your stuff ends up in some baby store instead of diapers from China Just get the container out of there and meet us at The South gate.
Yeah, if I make it.
You are gonna make it, Bob.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, South gate.
(whispers) Jeez.
Hey, Chuck, wait a minute.
Huh? (speaks indistinctly) It's not in the right place right now.
Okay, this one is supposed to be moving now.
It's not on schedule for one, but it needs to go now.
- Something's wrong.
- I got it right here that it ain't moving.
- We gotta get this whole area clear.
- That is wrong.
I'm telling you, it's wrong, okay? It's not wrong.
It's right here.
No, I'm telling you, the container needs to get on a truck right now.
Crap.
Crap.
Crap.
Crap.
Crap.
Crap.
Mike: We've only got two hours to bring this stuff to Schiller.
Damn it.
Unh-unh.
He's not helping me.
That one is in the wrong place.
It's supposed to be moved now.
No, I talked to him about that already.
Frank, what's what's we already had this conversation.
All right, we need this whole area clear.
Where is he? If we don't make that meeting tonight - He'll be here.
- Well, what if he isn't? Look, I don't know, Mike.
You're the experienced criminal here.
I didn't set out to be, you know? I was just trying to keep Dina's credit cards happy.
(cell phone buzzes) (sighs) (buzz) It's Kat.
Now? Hello, Kat? (lowered voice) I can't stay at Katerina's.
It's filthy.
Mom, I-I can't deal with houseguests right now.
All right? I could help you, dorogaya.
If I stay with you, I cook for you really mom? Your sister called to check on her poor old mother's eyes.
That's Marta? Here, give me.
Give me.
Kat: Hey.
You okay? Yeah, for the moment.
Listen, sorry about mom.
I'll make sure that no one else bothers you.
Kat, can you can you check on the kids? I'm sure they're fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Marta, be careful.
I'm tryin'.
You know, it's not a terrible idea.
Hmm? Your mom staying at Marta's.
I know Marta could use the help.
I'm helping.
I know.
Helping and helping.
I mean, we haven't even had a honeymoon yet.
Oh, I'm sorry that my brother-in-law was so inconveniently murdered.
- I - Wow.
That is not what I meant.
What is What is going on with you? Sorry.
It's just, today is really stressful.
What, your mom's cataract surgery? You don't understand.
So tell me.
I've gotta call the kids.
Kat, I'm your husband In name, at least.
If my major surgery is causing you problems, I can sleep in the park.
(sighs) (beep, speed-dials) (ring, beep) Marta: You've reached the Walravens.
Please leave a message.
Kat: Gabriel? Gabriel, damn it, turn off whatever you're listening to.
Pick up the phone.
(video game music playing) Natalie? Boris? You guys are really scaring me right now.
Where the hell are you? Where are we going? It's a surprise.
Come on.
Come on, Boris.
(gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (revs engine) (car horns honking) Boris! (honks) Boris! What's wrong? Come on! Boris, come on, come on.
It's dangerous! Let's go! (horn honks) (machinery whirring) Officer, federal Agent Ramos.
What's the hold up? Let's go.
Still waiting on an authorization.
Seriously, what's going on? The clock is ticking.
Is that him? Marta: Slow down, Bob.
You think he actually pulled it off? I don't know.
What does his face say? I don't know.
(panting) (raspy voice) The container's out of the port.
You actually made it? Wait.
Who are you? This is, uh, Mike.
My partner.
Hey, I hope you're an actual criminal.
I mean, no offense, Marta.
Where's the container? I put it on a truck going north on the 5 to Portland.
I got the license plate.
Um, we're about 20 minutes behind.
Okay? (paper crinkles) Okay.
All right, let's let's get on the 5 and see if we can catch up.
Right? I got nothing else.
Come on.
Come on! We'll drop you off on the way.
Wait, drop me off? W-what if the feds come looking for me, asking me questions? What do I say? You're coming with us.
Get in.
Come on! Q-a-9-5-8-8.
Come on.
Q-a-9-5-8-8.
Maybe you should just call this Schiller guy, and just just tell him his shipment's been delayed.
Yeah, great idea.
Logan: I wasn't yanking your chain.
Maybe Bob changed his mind.
I just wanna make sure you're not forgetting any details.
Make him comfortable.
Okay.
We got nothing.
What a waste of a day.
Day's not over yet.
I've got somethin' to show ya.
Marta: Q-a-9-5-8-8.
Come on.
Q-a-9-5-8-8.
Wait! Wait a minute! That truck there.
Get closer! Q-a-9-5-8-8.
Un-frickin'-believable.
Let's just hope the driver has to pee.
(Marta and Mike laugh) Then it's true? Your family's, like Mobbed up? (laughs) Nah, we're just Russian.
Uh, my grandpa was an immigrant.
I-I mean, he does have a bodyguard.
Really? (chuckles) Yeah.
(cell phone buzzes) Who keeps calling you? (buzz) It's my aunt.
Well, shouldn't you pick up? (buzz) Maybe something happened.
(buzz, beep) Uh, hey, Aunt Kat.
What's up? Where the hell are you? I'm home.
Why? Oh, really? Uh, because that's where I am.
Where are Natalie and Boris? Um They're not there? Okay, get your butt home now.
(sighs) (beep) Okay, I gotta I gotta call Natalie again.
How about calling Marta? Their mother? No, I can't (sighs) Uh, I just I can't bother her today.
(beep) Katerina, your sister would want to know.
Yeah.
(sighs) What the hell is going on? I don't know.
I don't need to.
Neither do you.
Kat, wait.
Slow down.
How many times did you try calling her? (turns off engine) No.
Thanks for letting me know.
Get off the phone.
I'll I'll I'll try Nat myself.
He's not in there.
He's gotta be in the diner.
We gotta get into this container.
What are you doing?! Natalie and Boris are missing.
Wait.
Wait.
Your kids? Just get the container open.
(sighs) Come on, Nat.
Come on, Nat.
Pick up the phone, sweetie.
Come on.
(lock clanks) Hello? Mrs.
Walraven? Who is this? This is Agent Ramos.
Now you listen to me.
You are not to question my children, or I will sue you for harassment and violation.
Hey, lady.
Maybe you wanna ask yourself why Natalie walked all the way to a bus station in Marin, traveled all the way into the city with an 8 year old, found the federal building, had them track me down.
Because she's afraid.
She wants help.
Why don't you tell me what's going on? Thank you, Agent Ramos, for taking care of my children.
Someone will be there to pick them up shortly.
Now could you please put Natalie on? (voice breaks) Mom, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
I'm sorry that I scared you.
You and Aunt Kat were talking about people with guns? Oh.
Honey, we were talking metaphorically.
Natalie, what what have you told Agent Ramos? Nothing, because you don't tell me anything.
You never tell me anything.
(sighs) I know.
I-I know, Solnyshko.
Look A lot has changed since your daddy died, and I-I-I haven't been able to explain it properly.
I'm sorry.
(sighs) Are you in trouble? No, I'm fine, sweetie.
I promise.
It's all good.
I'm sending your Aunt Kat to pick you up.
Okay? I love you.
Find the kids? Good.
The load's in the container somewhere.
Okay.
We're already running late, so let's find the coke and put it in the van.
Hey, w-what if the truck driver comes back? I'll distract him.
She doesn't even know what he looks like.
I'm beginning to trust her instincts.
Uh, excuse me? Man: Whoo! Yeah! (Man whistles) Hi.
Uh, is anyone going to Portland? Man: Wish I was! Take you anywhere you wanna go, baby! Shut up, you morons.
Finish your burgers, get your fat butts on the road.
I'm headed to Portland.
Oh.
(chuckles) Great.
Huh.
So, uh - You would be a truck driver? - Yeah.
Cheap hats.
Cheap toys.
What are we even looking for? (laughs) Chocolate.
Ohh.
Yeah.
It masks the smell for the dogs.
It's creative.
The bastard just drove off and left you here? Yeah.
(scoffs) Well, maybe I shouldn't have called him a whoring jerk of a slime bag.
(laughs) Men.
You can't live with 'em, and you can't bury them in your backyard if you have dogs.
Looks like my friend just showed up.
So I'm headed to Portland on my own, huh? Thanks for listening.
Hey, you're gonna find the love of your life someday.
I already did.
(exhales deeply) Thanks, uh, for watching them.
Natalie said, "I'm afraid my mom's gonna die.
" Well, Natalie's been through a lot.
Ah.
Well, she's right to be afraid.
You should be, too.
Marta's involved with a very dangerous person.
My sister's trying to make a go of a charter fishing business.
Why didn't mom come to pick us up? Aunt Kat's closer to the city.
I bet mom is gonna be mad at us.
I think you've heard about Schiller.
You might even know some of things he did to your father.
The people he's killed.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're different than the other Petrovs.
You're a terrible liar.
I remember something.
About when dad was killed.
The man with the gun, his boot had a yellow stripe.
Shh.
(sighs) (turns off engine) You're late.
(sighs) Well, we're here now.
So is Mr.
Schiller's consignment.
Who is he? His name is Bob.
He works at the port.
Man: What are you waitin' around for? Unload.
(speaks indistinctly) Mr.
Schiller would like to speak to you.
I understand there was a problem.
We ran into some complications at the port, but we took care of it.
(TV sports announcer speaking foreign language) (mutes tv) This associate of yours Bob.
He is from the port? He's my employee.
(turns up volume) Please put Leon back on.
Okay.
We're all loaded up.
Yes.
Let's get out of here.
I'm starving.
Come on.
It's been a long day.
(silenced gunshot) Uhh! Uhh! Aah! Bob! No! (panting) Come on! If Schiller was gonna kill us, too, he probably would've done it there.
Probably.
Her.
I saw her today, in the parking lot at the port.
And here I thought she was just a housewife.
She's still a housewife, mother of three.
Don't.
Don't what? She's not your new cause, James.
Don't let your savior complex keep you from doing your job.
Saving people is my job.
She was at that port for a reason.
And we'll find it and use her for everything she's worth, but she's not the prize.
Give her time.
(exhales deeply) (panting) Why did you kill him? He was a liability.
It was my plan.
I arranged it.
I brought him in.
Are you saying it should've been you? Why did it have to be anyone? Mistakes were made.
Everything that could've gone wrong did, and you never knew about any of it because I fixed it.
I fixed it all.
(whispers) And you killed him anyway? So according to you, you did very well.
(sniffs) Well, perhaps you have, uh Potential.
Potential for what? You said one consignment, and then it was over.
Yes.
"Then it was over.
" (whispering) Then I was over.
Well, there are assets and there are liabilities.
(laughs) You still have no concept of the problems your people caused by stealing from me, do you? My associate expects an example to me be made.
And making me do this consignment wasn't enough? That was a convenience.
I needed a shipping line, and into my office you walked.
I was your shipping line.
(normal voice) Well Not anymore.
You killed my port contact.
Ah.
There are many "Bobs" in the world.
But people (exhales deeply) Who can fix things They're a great deal harder to find.
Mike: What did he say? He gave me another assignment.
I'm working for him now.
What?! Wait.
What about me? You're working for me.
- You're back.
- Hey.
(whispers) I'm here with you, sweetie (whispers) Baby, I love you.
I made you dinner.
You didn't even call or ask me how my meeting was.
(sighs deeply) Come here.
How was your day? There's no other option? It won't end.
But you did it.
You succeeded.
By putting drugs on the street and getting a man killed.
You didn't kill Bob.
Schiller did.
The only thing you did was survive.
(sniffles) Marta, if you do this Schiller will never stop looking for you.
You'll have to keep moving.
I'll figure it out.
I can fix anything.
I never knew that before.
It's the only way for the people around me to be safe.
Me and the kids, We have to disappear.
