Revenge

[Etta Tiger Jonze]
Killers aren't born.
[dramatic music playing]
They're made.
From loss, from pain,
from desperation.
Feeding a cycle of violence
that will never end.
-[thud]
-[flames crackling]
A single decision
led me to kill
-[grunts]
-to take a life.
One wrong move
that cost me everything.
And I have no one
to blame but myself.
Sunscreen! SPF 100!
South Florida is ground zero
for skin cancer, folks.
Dad, you're done on that side.
[chuckles] Where we from, Mom?
Lynbrook, New York.
So was
Captain Kangaroo.
Hartford, Connecticut.
First US town
to hang a witch.
-Portland.
-Oregon or Maine?
The original one.
Oh, nice try, Danny Glover.
Portland, Maine,
the birthplace of canned corn.
Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Where Doc Holliday
coughed his lungs out.
Hey, hey!
Sit down, Night Moves.
Alright. Now who came
to Key Largo to hear me talk
about canned corn
and consumption?
Show of hands.
[laughs]
You lose, Dr. Doom.
-[engine revving]
-Oh.
[laughter]
Stay hydrated.
I am your guide,
Etta Tiger Jonze,
and tips
are never expected,
always appreciated.
Now who wants
to have some fun?
[all cheering]
["DESPECHA"

Cameras and phones down, folks.
Florida Fish and Game
take a dim view
of my Pavlovian experiments,
and I don't want
my face on socials
when Larry finally answers.
[passengers murmuring]
Who exactly is Larry?
Larry's a 12-foot alligator
with a nest nearby.

I want her fired today!
She was baiting an alligator!
-Right off the bow!
-[Leah] Really?
[tourist] I was in danger!
Make a new friend?
I'm a friendly person.
[sighs] I gotta get
this thing outta me.
Semen.
Excuse me?
Oxytocin. The hormone
used to induce labor?
It's in semen.
What is wrong with you?
I'm a problem solver.
Oof! [gasps]
He's kicking
the hell out of me.
Rosi?
I thought the doc said
off your feet.
Alright, Leah.
I can't just sit around
waiting for my water to break.
I disagree.
I don't want anything
to happen to you
or my beautiful grandson.
Go.
Either of you know
how whole chickens
just up and disappear
from the freezer?
Uh-huh.
-Benita late again?
-No. She's mopping the showers.
One time I want to see
that girl come in early.
Why don't you cut her
some slack, Mom?
She's got no family and nobody.
She's all by herself.
Then there's no reason
she can't get here on time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?
I just worked four
straight hours in the sun.
Three tours.
You drove
a floating comedy club
around paradise.
Get a bucket and brush.
I'll help.
[water splashing]
What's your plan tomorrow?
-Your college visit.
-I plan to visit.
[scoffs]
Etta, you have
a brilliant mind.
What do you want
to hear, Mom?
That you're finally taking
your future seriously.
I don't know
what I want to do.
There is nothing that I am
passionate enough about
to want to do it
for the rest of my life.
Be practical. Not passionate.
What about accounting
or business?
What about working for Dad?
Huh? Like Nathan and Wyatt?
Your brothers aren't cut out
for college.
You are.
Etta, you have a shot
-to get the hell outta here.
-Oh my God.
Why don't you want
to take it?
[engine roaring]
Hit it again, Wyatt!
[engine revving]
Alright. Cut it!
Cut it, Wyatt!
How's the gator baitin'
business, Sis? [chuckles]
I have no idea what
he's referring to, Sheriff.
Yeah, I didn't hear that.
Gotta go, Dan.
Boys. Etta.
Be ready tomorrow, Jack.
Thought I told you
to knock that off.
It's a science experiment, Dad.
Why have outlet ports
below the waterline?
Pull water into the bilge.
You want water in the boat?
You do if you want it
sitting low in the water.
[tools clanking]
Let's go, chuckleheads. [sighs]
We got two fishing
charters tomorrow.
Lots to prep.
I could go, you know.
To help.
Bait lines, check rods
and reels, hand out brewskis.
[sighs] We've been
down this road, hon.
This business isn't for you.
Focus on a job that uses this.
[sighs] That doesn't mean
-I can't be with you guys
-[softly] Come here.
until I figure out
what that is.
[kiss smacks]
[Etta sighs]
What do you want out of life?
I guess an adventure
is too much to ask for.
[sighs]
[Dan] She wants to be a part
of this, a part of us.
In a month, she'll be going
to school, let's hope,
and I will have spared you
the look in our daughter's eyes
when she sees what
her father does for a living.
[Dan] She knows
what I do for a living.
[Leah] She hasn't seen it
up close.
It's not the path for her.
Seeing hard work
translated into success,
watching her father
put food on the table.
We wouldn't want her
to see that?
What's the chance
she'll think less of me?
Seriously?
None.
[Dan chuckles softly]
I'm just worried that
if she goes out there with you,
it'll be the only thing
she ever wants to do.
[breathes deeply]
No matter what, Etta goes
to college in the fall.
-Agreed?
-Absolutely.
But until then, she feels like
she has some purpose.
Hmm?

[Dan] [whispering]
Hey. Etta.
Baby, wake up.
[Etta] [groans]
What time?
It's, uh, 4:40.
[scoffs] [sucks teeth]
[groans]
Do you want
to go fishing?
[bright music playing]
You mean crew?
Get it in gear, Kemosabe.
[Dan chuckles]
[grunts softly]
[sea birds calling]
I hear South Florida
is ground zero for melanoma.
Thanks, Mom.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.
I got you something.
-Mom, I gotta go.
-They're fine. Let them wait.
[sighs]
Tiger's eye.
Your grandmother gave one to me
and one to my sister
when we were girls.
Carmen, the sister you hate?
[chuckles]
I don't hate her.
I just can't talk
to her anymore.
My mother said we'll look
at it and think of her.
She was right.
Thanks, Mom. [chuckles]
[inhales sharply] Go. Go.
Okay.

You guys are getting

Fellas, I gotta apologize.
I think I got
a cracked rear seal.
It means I'm going
to have to limp along
on one engine.
Hate to crowd you,
but I'm going to have
to move you over
to Tiger 3.
We'll move the catch
over to this boat,
and we'll clear out the hold
so you guys can do
more fishing.
Dan, we shelled out
a lot of cash for this.
Look, at day's end,
if you feel like
you haven't got
your money's worth,
I'll give you a refund.
I-I'd rather have you safe
than have your cash.

Alright, we'll get her seaworthy

How long do we wait?
As long as it takes.

You're making me antsy. Eat.
No, no, no, no. Put it back.

-Do I look like I'm kidding?
-I'm almost 22.

Fun. Excitement.

Today is my last day.
You're retiring?
[Isaac] I'm rotting.
Isaac, I'm-I'm so sorry.
It started with a cut,
tiny nick on my foot.
Diabetes, dialysis,
amputations.
Even in Miami,
I'm cold all the time.
Docs want the other leg.
I want to die in peace.
For today
I wanted
to give you this myself.
And say goodbye and thank you.
Twenty years.
Mm. My God.

How does it work?
[nurse] The first shot
puts your father to sleep.
The second stops his heart.
It should only take 10 minutes.

Look for the opportunity
to make an example of someone.
I will, Dad. Don't worry.
No. The both of you, Mateo.
You need to work together.
And more important,
stay out
of your sister's way.
Don't interfere.
The business stays as is.
And steer clear
of the Russians
no matter what
your mother says.
Our reputation is priceless.
[solemn music playing]
Finally, Elias
there's no one else like him.
He's the best enforcer
we've got,
but he may be a one-owner dog.
How did he get
a sore on his foot?
[ominous music playing]
[Isaac]
Men like Elias
despise fear.
If that happens
[heavy breath]
put a bullet in his head
or he'll kill you both.
[ominous music continues]
How did he get
a sore on his foot?
He was diabetic.
He had poor circulation.
Poor circulation
cut his foot?
No. It kept him from feeling it
once it got infected.
Because he didn't know
it was there.
Because you didn't find it.
[nurse]
It's not that easy.

-Did you say "easy" to me?
