Red Widow (2013) s01e08 Episode Script

I wanna dance with my wife.
Previously on "Red Widow" No one steals from Schiller.
Uhh! Schiller was ripped off two nights ago.
A couple of his guys were killed.
What did you do to us?! I can get us out.
We'd have to leave.
Take the kids and go.
Your husband made a deal the night before he was shot.
He was trying to protect his family.
Marta, put the gun Aah! You took everything from me.
You will bring the cocaine to me immediately.
I can't.
This is Alexandra Duchenko's gun shipment.
He works for Schiller.
- The man who killed dad.
- His boot had a yellow stripe.
Schiller had Evan killed.
I have to kill Nicholae Schiller.
What a coincidence, running into you.
I wanted to talk to you in a public place.
Afraid I might kill you? Just kill her after Alexandra's guns come in, will ya? Give us a minute.
Fine.
I'll grab a burger next door.
Misao is the city's finest Sushi chef, and J.
J.
Johns wants a burger.
The man is of dubious character.
Those are the type of people one must deal with in my business.
Irwin is alive.
Your hit man, Vincent, missed him and killed my father's girlfriend instead.
Vincent was killed.
Well, he talked too much anyway.
One of yours is dead.
One of mine is dead.
Can we call it even? Even? Your brother stole my property twice.
And you You destroyed that property.
And you've extracted the price for that tenfold.
You can't protect Irwin.
He's caused you and me way too many problems.
It's a sign of weakness or stupidity on your part that he's still alive.
I'm not protecting him.
I just need him for your gun run.
You assume I need either of you.
I could simply have my own men make the runs using your boats.
The people at the marina know us.
If strangers show up and start running our boats, somebody might ask questions, call the police.
Our presence assures that it's business as usual.
All right.
Irwin will live.
You will handle the runs.
But after J.
J.
has the guns, and I have his money all bets are off.
Does that "all bets" include me? How am I gonna kill Schiller? Killing him isn't the problem.
Getting away is.
Why kill Felicity? If she was collateral damage, who was the target? Who else was there? That's not gonna matter in a few days.
I mean, we either kill Schiller or we end up in the walk-in with the other two.
Vincent and Felicity are still here? Your father couldn't decide where to lay her body to rest.
- Oh.
Oh, papa.
- What? Enough.
Marta, what you need is someone to blame for Schiller's death, so there will be no retaliation against you.
We need an opportunity, somewhere away from his home turf.
What about the dry docks? That's where the gun exchange is gonna take place.
Schiller's gonna meet the buyer there.
- Who is the buyer? - This creepy guy called J.
J.
Johns.
Oh.
I know him.
He traffics in prostitution, underage girls.
The world won't miss him.
So we'll take him and Schiller out.
You will plant the guns.
It will look like a deal gone wrong.
And we'll need to practice.
Okay, but what about Alexandra? She's gonna want her cut of the money.
You must get her on board.
You think she'll even talk to me? You already know she wants Schiller's business.
If she was willing to make a deal with me This was before the I dumped the cocaine that you promised her.
Don't underestimate the power of greed.
It's always a pleasure to see you, Alexandra.
But if you're here about the shipment, it's under control.
Oh, I'm sure it is.
I'm here to talk about my family.
I've met them.
Charming people.
No, they're not.
But I am, which is why I'm in charge of finding new territories.
I like this one.
We do so well together because we're not competitors.
We didn't wanna set up our own shop.
We wanted to help you expand yours Your drug trade, your online gambling business.
You're a valuable supplier to me, and I'm a valuable broker to you.
It's a good arrangement.
It's a limited arrangement.
You think you saw weakness last night.
No, I don't see sex as weakness, especially not the way you do it.
I know how you see it as a crack in the door, and you're here to push it wide open.
But please understand, there is no door.
No opening.
So that's why you refused to sleep with me all these years.
Because you're afraid of me.
Only of your intoxicating beauty.
Now that is charming.
My father would kill me if he knew.
My career would be forfeit.
Yeah, I kinda think that, um, physical death trumps career death.
Hey, we're both crazy for doing this.
So why are we? Kat! You gotta let me in! That's Irwin.
Uh here, here, here.
Come on! I know you're in there.
Your car's out in front.
Stay the bedroom.
Kat, please! Here.
Hey.
I gotta lay low somewhere till I can figure out what to do.
What? Can I crash here? Now? Uh, I really don't think it's a good time.
Schiller sent a hit man to kill me.
What?! Are you okay? Oh, my God.
Does Marta know? Is is Marta safe? Yeah, I think so.
Well, that is until she finishes helping Schiller - with Alexandra's guns and - Wow.
Wow.
Irwin, you really You smell terrible.
I think that you should go shower.
Yeah.
Well, I've been up all night, staring over my shoulder, so Thanks, Kitty Kat.
Yeah.
James.
- James.
- I can't unhear that, Kat.
And you can't use it.
Or I'm gonna have to say how you came by it.
I'm sorry.
Me, too.
She will see you now.
I came to apologize for not giving you the product that you wanted.
The product your family promised The product I promised to my family.
Your apology insults us.
I have some ideas about how I might make it up to you.
Oh, so do I.
But you work for Nicholae.
And we won't start a war with him over a stupid woman like you.
Were you serious about taking over his drug trade? I don't like you.
You're skinny and self-righteous.
But it took nerve to come here.
I respect nerve.
Start talking or something.
If Schiller were to go away, a lot of opportunities would open up.
His entire business would be in play.
Now that is nerve.
Asking me to have Schiller killed.
No, I'm not asking you to kill him.
What, you will do the deed? That would be insane.
But dealing in arms is a dangerous business.
For instance, Schiller is meeting J.
J.
Johns at the gun exchange.
Deals go bad.
People die.
But the money would still be sitting there, and the guns.
Waiting for someone to take possession of it.
God knows I don't want it.
Really? But one would need a significant reason to do something that extreme.
A reason like Schiller killed my husband? If such a thing happened, I wouldn't stand in the way.
But if you fail to deliver what you promised again, it would be bad.
Shame.
Nicholae is so good in bed.
Red Widow 01x08 The Hit Ow! I'd have shot you, too.
You tore apart Marta's life, and then you blamed it on her dead husband? Who does that? No one I wanna know.
Who is it? Kat? Come on in.
I'll go get some gauze.
I know you wish I'd taken that bullet instead of Felicity.
Believe me, so do I.
I'm sorry, Marta.
And I know that's meaningless, 'cause what I did to you was sick.
But I promise, as soon as I can set up shop somewhere else, then you'll never see me again.
That's not enough.
I'm gonna need your help with the gun run.
Schiller has agreed to back off of you until it's over, but there's no guarantee he'll keep his word.
I'll do anything I can to make up for the damage that I've done.
And I want to help, too.
When the last of the guns come in, you're gonna have to leave.
But if this business with Schiller gets resolved, maybe you can come back, but it may never.
You shouldn't have to handle Schiller on your own.
There's nothing more you can do to help except not get killed.
Thanks for helping out, ma.
I may not be this available when your father and I get back together Now that his gold-digging poodle has left him.
Please don't talk about Felicity like that.
I gotta go.
Come on, sweetie.
Grab your schoolbag.
We gotta go.
Come on.
Boris, let's go.
Natalie, Gabriel, I'm leaving.
Yeah, okay, mom.
Looking for this? You should've hidden it better.
And don't keep coming in here to check on it.
It's too obvious.
Where did you get it? Dedushka gave it to me because it's my job to protect everyone.
How do you plan to do that? I followed mom.
She led me to Schiller.
I've been watching him, looking for my opening.
Opening for what? I'm gonna shoot the man that murdered dad.
I'm gonna kill Schiller.
The kids used to love coming out here for family boat trips.
Now it's gonna be overrun by guns and people who use 'em.
Yeah, well, thousands of pounds of marijuana came in and out of here, so don't get too sentimental.
Is that you trying to win back her love? Schiller's guys are here.
They look so mean.
Well, that's 'cause they want to kill me.
Don't give 'em an excuse.
Just head straight out to the freighter coordinates, grab the guns, and come right back.
Yeah, another day at the office.
Kat, I need you to be the face of this operation.
Okay.
It's business as usual in case anyone comes poking around.
Yeah, especially Ramos.
If anyone asks, um, I'll say that they're paying customers out to hook some Halibut.
I'll go get them setup.
Running a charter business is fun.
Look happy.
It looks good.
Plenty of areas of concealment.
There's a direct line of fire.
Yeah.
I'm gonna be right in the middle of it.
And I'll have you covered.
So this is where the guns will be stored.
J.
J.
is gonna come in there with the money.
Okay, good.
Look You're gonna have to take out Schiller first.
That will create a moment of shock.
That's gonna allow me to take out J.
J.
And the other bodyguards.
You got it? Good.
Let's walk this through.
I'll be Schiller.
You'll have to step in front So the ballistics match J.
J.
's position.
You hesitated.
It's understandable.
Let's go again.
What does it feel like to kill someone? Bad.
It feels bad.
Dying would be worse.
You're imagining all the reasons why it won't work.
Try thinking of the reasons why it has to work.
Aah! Tomorrow night.
Hey, Micah.
Business is booming, huh? Economy must be coming back.
Been looking all over for you.
We need to talk.
I'm waiting for Kirkenbauer to get out of a meeting.
- It's pressing.
- What's pressing? Need emergency authorization to bug Alexandra Duchenko's hotel room.
Gun deal's on.
She's exporting, Schiller's importing.
And you know this how? Confidential informant.
No.
No! Yes And I hope you saved room for dessert.
- There you go.
There you go.
- No, I need more vegetables, Babushka.
Hell, we're halfway there.
Just a few more runs tomorrow.
So the exchange is tomorrow night? Yeah.
Then it'll be over, one way or another.
Sorry I'm not gonna be there to see it.
Look, Irwin, you should go and say your good-byes.
It's why we brought everyone over tonight.
Well, it's not like I can tell them I'm leaving.
Well, they'll get it after the fact.
I think we're going to have all of this right now.
Ah.
Irwin! Dedushka? I know who killed dad.
Nicholae Schiller.
And you're the only one who can make him pay.
I share with you a secret.
He will be dead this time tomorrow night.
Do you promise? Girls should not think about such things.
- Uh, mom made the cake.
- - No! Ohh! Ohh! Yum! No more beer for him, huh? - You want? - - Yeah.
- Does everyone want? - Yeah.
I made Romovaya cake.
Your favorite.
Poor Andrei.
Your poodle ran away, huh? Her name was Felicity.
Mm, maybe this was God's way of saying she was no good for you.
You need a partner, andrei, someone with shared history.
You need a real woman, not some stupid little girl.
Get off! Is that what you think? You and me, huh? Come on.
Felicity's heart was pure.
Yours is black.
Let's go, Bobo.
I would never be with a withered old hag like you.
You disgust me.
We are leaving.
Luther, let's go.
Guess the party's over.
Thank you for taking me home.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
About dad? He is the cruelest man I know.
I feel like dying.
He just had too much to drink.
It's not the vodka that makes him do these things.
But I'm not going to protect him anymore.
I just I don't know how to tell you.
Tell me what, mom? Kat's wedding was such a happy night for me.
He didn't think I was a hag that night.
He took me to boat and ravished me.
Uh maybe we should have some music.
No.
I'm ashamed now.
Not about the sex, but For the secret that I have kept.
The boat that we were on, it was right next to the pier where you and Evan were talking.
Talking about what, ma? Evan wanted to go away with you and the kids.
Andrei said he would never let his grandchildren go away.
I just didn't realize how far he would go To stop Evan.
How far did he go? I thought you would've figured this out by now.
No.
It was Schiller.
Mom Schiller killed Evan.
I'm sorry I said it.
I was so angry.
It was Schiller's man Vincent! Okay? I saw his boots.
Mom, I saw his I'll show you! Oh.
So she didn't run away.
Ma, these are the boots that Boris saw.
The killer wore these I-I don't understand.
Those boots belong to Luther.
Andrei had to make them fit somehow.
Luther did Did this? He only does what your father tells him to.
You know what? I should be shocked, but I'm not.
Dad's an evil son of a bitch and he should be put out of our misery.
But how do we know for sure? Kat, he cut the toes off a dead man so Luther's boots would fit.
Well the truth sucks.
Ahh.
(Sighs they made me think Schiller did it.
If I don't kill him, Alexandra's gonna come after me.
Schiller's still a bad guy.
He's got you under his thumb.
You've got good reason to kill him.
Yeah.
But if I do it, dad gets what he always wanted.
He gets rewarded for killing my husband.
That's why we have to make him pay.
Not "we.
" You take the "Corina" and leave after the last gun run.
Then what are you gonna do? I don't know.
That Petrov woman is planning to put a bullet in your brain.
But I prefer you live and for us to have a beautiful future together.
I appreciate the offer, but crossing Schiller is not intelligent.
You think it's smarter to cross the Duchenko family? No.
Stupider.
I've made promises and I'll keep them.
The Duchenko family will get a foothold on the west coast, and we won't need Schiller as a middle man.
A smart person should see an opportunity.
So what do I gotta do to make our beautiful future happen? It will be just as the Petrov woman planned.
You will let her kill Nicholae Schiller.
Then you will kill Marta Petrov and put a smoking gun in Schiller's hand.
Gun deals do go bad sometimes.
Aw, hell.
You don't have to do it.
You don't think I can.
I hope you can't.
You'd have to become a different person to kill another human being.
I don't want you to become that person.
I can't let Schiller get away with this.
You don't have to.
Dedushka is going to handle this.
He told me so.
Hey, Marta.
Um I'm praying right now that you never see this.
Because if you're watching, something went really wrong.
I should've listened to you.
I love you and the kids so much.
I tried to protect them, but now it's up to you.
Trust nobody but yourself.
You need to take the "Corina" with the kids and go.
That's the last one.
You gotta go, Irwin, before they come back.
Boat's gassed up.
Your duffel bag's on it.
Wait.
How you gonna take care of dad? I don't know.
You don't need to worry about that.
Are you kidding? Be safe.
Mr.
Schiller says your work is done.
Marta! Marta! What the hell is going on? No, no, no.
Just listen, please.
This crossed way over the line, both of you! Alexandra Duchenko's gonna kill you.
The guns are in, ready for the exchange tonight.
Uhh! You say that without trust, you have nothing.
Well I'm about to give you a reason to either trust me or kill me.
Sounds risky on your part.
Well, what isn't these days? My freedom is dependent on you winning Alexandra's trust back.
That's not gonna happen.
Alexandra plans to kill us both.
How do you know this? A Federal Agent told me.
He's been pressuring me to be an informant.
Well, I'm still looking for that reason to trust you.
I planned to kill you myself.
"Planned"? As in past tense? Well, turns out you didn't kill my husband.
Well, I've known that for some time now.
I assume you've found the killer.
My father.
Wow.
So you had plans to kill me but changed your mind, and then discovered Alexandra wants to kill us both, and the Feds are forcing you to cooperate.
Now that I have all that information, I'm supposed to trust you? Is that it? That's not enough? My God, you're complicated.
Yeah.
Well I wasn't until I met you.
Wish I'd never walked into your office that night.
Yeah, I feel the same.
Not yet.
You got it.
You're lucky I still get service out here.
Is Marta ready for the exchange? You know she's gonna become a killer tonight, because of what we did to her.
Come on.
Evan was going to take my family from me.
I have no regrets.
Yeah.
You see I have way too many, so I'm leaving.
Don't be silly.
You have nothing without me.
With you, I have nothing but blood on my hands, Andrei.
You ungrateful bastard.
I picked you out of the gutter.
I fed you.
You were like a son to me.
I was a blunt instrument to you! Nothing more.
After tonight, I'm finished.
Go, go.
Get the hell out of here.
Your boy bailed, huh? I raised him as my own.
But he's not your own.
I have something to tell you.
Tell me.
Marta won't be able to kill Schiller.
She'll freeze.
And even if she does kill him, she'll walk away from an opportunity to form an alliance with the Duchenkos.
Marta doesn't get it.
But I do.
And so do you.
What are you saying? I just walk in there and make the deal myself? Alexandra was willing to work with you before.
And I've been running guns with these guys for three days.
They know me.
I can take Schiller out.
But Alexandra will only negotiate with you.
So we go together, pops.
Now Luther may have bailed on you, but I am still here.
I raised you to be strong man, so one day you'd make me proud.
Today is that day.
You felt it.
But I practiced.
Hey.
I think you should stop it.
It upsets your mom.
It's just pretend.
I know.
Look, you're gonna grow up to be a good man, Boris.
Whatever you do is gonna be good for the people you love.
And wherever I am, I'm gonna know.
It's gonna make me happy.
Won't you be with me? I think it's time for me to move on.
I think I've done enough here.
Boris.
Go upstairs, sweetie.
I left you a message.
I don't want you at the exchange.
I know.
I won't let you go unprotected.
You know I grew up without a family.
When your father brought me in, it was you that made me feel loved.
I loved you for that.
I still do love you.
You don't understand anything about love.
You killed my husband in front of my son.
I didn't know Boris was there.
Get out! You need me at the gun exchange.
I said get out.
I'm sorry.
Where's Schiller? On his way.
Where's the money? Not till the big man gets here.
That's him.
Where's Schiller? Surprised? I assume the exchange is over and you brought my $11 million.
Don't do that.
You insult my intelligence and yours.
Where are my men? On a break.
My guys will cover for them.
Who the hell are you? Show some respect.
This is Andrei Prorov.
This is my deal now.
It is between me and Alelendra.
You said Alelexarara would be here.
Alexandra? She's settin' up! Marta! Aah! FBI! Hands up! - FBI! - Hands up! Hands up! Hands up! Don't move! Hands up! Turn around! You came in too late! Agent, let 'em go.
We got what we needed.
Marta.
Shh.
Taking my money is a very bad plan, Nicholae.
Is that my plan? Maybe you don't realize, but you're working with a woman who conspired with me to kill you.
She told me about that.
Funny you didn't.
It was a business decision, Nicholae.
You of all people should understand that.
Then I'm curious about your repayment plan.
Well there are many, many ways.
When did you become so weak? You're the Petrov woman's puppet.
It's pathetic.
Stop pretending like you are going to hurt me because we both know you won't, even if I cut that woman to pieces which I will You won't do anything about it because you can't win a war against us Duchenkos, and Nicholae Schiller won't start anything he can't win.
Well, it's already started.
No, Schiller backed out.
This was Alexandra Duchenko's deal.
But she jumped on a plane to Russia, so who knows where she is now? So where's the money? J.
J.
never told me where it was.
You're not worried about how good you're getting at this? What have you done? How do you look them in the eye? Who? Your grandchildren.
You hug them and you kiss them, knowing you took their father from them.
To protect them from being ripped away from their home.
So you shattered their family? Evan was never my family.
He was a coward rat.
You are a sick, selfish bastard.
You wanted what you wanted and you took it.
You took my husband from me.
I hope you burn in hell.
An anonymous tip? Seriously? Hey, we got the guns, just not Schiller and Duchenko.
Hey, you got the patriarch on tape.
You've taken down the Petrov Bratva.
I'm not so sure about that.
It unlocks a unit at Bayview Storage.
$11 million.
It's all there.
Your chances of pulling this off were, um slim to none.
Guess I got lucky.
Maybe.
Our business is done.
You're free and clear.
The Duchenkos are gonna come gunning for me, aren't they? For both of us.
Eventually.
You seem happy.
I am.
Is it because of Schiller? What do you mean? Well, he He's dead now, right? No, sweetie.
He's not dead.
But you don't need to worry about Schiller or anything else.
Okay? Come here.
All right, who's ready for some banana-peanut butter pancakes? Those are dad's pancakes.
Yes, they are.
But guess who taught dad how to make them.
Oh, my God.
I've missed these so much, mom.
- All right.
- Mmm! Sit down.
Let's eat.
Okay, buddy, do you want some, uh - Can you cut mine for me? - Okay, for sure.
I was just gonna ask, do you want some butter? - What? - Butter? - Yeah.
- That good? Okay, but I'll cut it first, okay? Yeah.
Gotta do the butter before the syrup, man.
Can you stop hogging the syrup? Bring the car around.
You killed my father.
