Animal Kingdom (US) (2016) s02e08 Episode Script

Grace

1 Manny used to always say that Smurf will climb over her own kids just to keep from drowning.
You're not even her kid.
You have a storage unit? The boys don't know about it, and neither do you.
You've been skimming off our work.
You really think I have more, don't you? You're paying me back before they know it's gone.
Got your money right here.
(GUNSHOT) SMURF: You wouldn't do what needed to be done.
- He was gonna take the money! - "Like family" isn't family.
(MUFFLED SCREAMING) J: Leave Nicky alone, please! Did they hurt you? (SNIFFLES) You're gonna be a caterer? Our way in, man, for the yacht heist we've been talking about.
You're looking at Eric Miller.
How does someone like Cath just disappear? Doesn't mean they can't be found, just depends on how bad you want it.
They asked if I had an alibi, as if I had something to do with stealing the mission drive money.
It's gonna be fine.
POPE: And the checks? - BAZ: I say we don't risk it.
- POPE: I'll take care of it.
I got pulled over this afternoon.
He starts asking me about Cath, what I did to her.
They think he killed Cath.
SMURF: Cops don't know anything.
What if they arrest Baz? We don't have anything to worry about.
(ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT'S "RITUALS" PLAYING) The fog came Then the rain Morning dew All over you (LOCKS DOOR) On your feet Dirty shoes To myself I want you FUR FUR FUR FUR (FAUCET RUNNING) (SIGHS) I'll just be a minute.
That in case Javi comes back? Um Javi can't come back.
Good.
Don't tell the others I told you.
Mmm.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) I can't.
I won't let Baz take the fall for Cath.
I won't.
It's never gonna come to that.
Do you think that I would let that happen? I don't think you've been sleeping enough.
You know how you get when you don't sleep.
She stares deeply Locked inside me Burnin' brightly One they know that I cannot take Waitin' for it all to begin Every night now, they'll win Come and meet my black hole Got a big black hole Got a big black hole I've got a big black hole I've got a big black, big black hole Got a big black hole inside of me Got a (SIGHS) (MUG CLATTERS) What is it, Baz? (INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY) I think Smurf's been skimming off our jobs.
Are you sure? (CLICKS TEETH) I'm gonna find out.
(CELLPHONE CHIMES) It's okay.
You can go.
You sure? Yeah, you can go.
Listen, it's gonna be late by the time I'm done up there, - but I can come back.
- (TOUCHSCREEN CLICKING) You're in Oakland a lot these days, huh? One rule, remember? Ah, break it.
What the hell's going on up there? (SEABIRDS CALLING) Pope.
Where's Lena? Disneyland.
Ally, uh, took her and her niece overnight.
They've done studies about the germs there, you know.
Measles.
Good to know.
I gotta go.
So soon? - Bye.
- Bye.
Hey, come here.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Great to see you.
(UNDER BREATH) Ta loco.
(FOOTSTEPS DEPART) - (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) - I forgot how well you guys got along.
- Mm.
- Nice to see.
What's up? Has that cop been back, asking about Cath? No.
So detectives pulled me in yesterday about the church.
I walked them through the whole night of Bible study, Amy's place, how her roommate was with us the entire time.
- And? - They bought it.
That's not just what they want you to think? They bought it? It was the truth because I wasn't there.
They ask about the rest of us? No.
Man, I'm telling you, I'm not on their list.
There's a lot of ex-cons at the church.
And there's no reason for them to lean on me.
And nothing connects to us, right? I mean, you destroyed those checks? Oh, shit.
The checks are in my wallet.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
Baz is buying more motion sensors and those night vision cameras.
You around tomorrow to help set 'em up? Mm-hmm.
I'm going to update the alarm codes.
We can talk about that then.
I'll be here.
What the hell are you wearing? I got some things to take care of.
What? You got a shift at Chili's? Baby, can you do me a favor? Do you think you and Deran can go pick up the sliding doors for me? - Yeah, I'll talk to him.
- Thank you, baby.
(KISSES) All right, I gotta go.
You need a ride to school? Sure.
- (FAUCET RUNNING) - Carrying? I won't get caught off guard again.
Then you should learn to make your own loads.
- It's harder to trace.
- (KNIFE SLICING) - (KNIFE THUDS) - You want me to teach you? Yeah, sure.
After school.
Cool.
(PANTING, GRUNTING) (GLASSES SHATTER) (LAUGHS) (PANTING) (MOANS) (THUD) (MOANS) (EXHALES SHARPLY) You're like a college kid.
- (BREATHING HEAVILY) - All pent up, hungry.
(CHUCKLES) (SNIFFS) Hell's that supposed to mean? It's called a compliment.
It means you're good in bed.
(PINK FROST'S "RUINS" PLAYING) Why are you keeping shit from me? What? Like what? Like, why are you dressed like that? Where are you going? Why haven't you done drugs the past few days? It's like I don't know you anymore.
Well, isn't a little mystery sexy? (CHUCKLES) You know, when those assholes put me in a van, and I had no idea where they were going or what they were gonna do to me, did I freak out? Did I call the cops? You can trust me.
I trust you.
Okay, prove it.
I'm setting up a job.
Seriously? What kind of job? We're gonna be pirates.
- Huh? - We're gonna rob a boat.
(LAUGHS) Oh, that is so cool! Yeah.
It is.
Okay, what's my part in it? You know, when I first met you, I thought you were a total asshole.
(LAUGHS) Well, the feeling was mutual.
I wasn't the one talkin'.
Well, you didn't have to be.
You walked in, thought you were too cool to be there.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's just my type.
So I'm a type? Oh, everybody's a type.
Jesus.
Dude, are you kidding me? You gotta get your shit together here.
What? That's a very carefully designed system.
(CHUCKLES) Look, I've sold a lot of properties to first-time business owners who've bellied up, let the little things overwhelm them.
- It's always the little things.
- Yeah.
The big stuff floods, earthquakes you got insurance for that.
(SIGHS) You do have insurance for that, right? (SIGHS) Yeah, I'm shoppin' around.
Okay.
Uh (CLEARS THROAT) This is my insurance guy.
And a bookkeeper, cheap and good.
Thanks.
Oh, and I need your association fee.
The $273.
Are you serious? (CHUCKLES) Why'd you think I came here last night? To get you to pay.
Well, that's funny 'cause I thought, you know, if I slept with you, maybe I wouldn't have to.
(LAUGHS) Okay.
- Well, next time, then.
- Yeah.
"We all fall short of God's glorious standard, "and yet God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous.
" Romans 22:24.
- So - (KNOCK ON DOOR) Hello? Can I help you, Detective? Yeah.
Can we talk to you for a second? AMY: Sorry.
Excuse me, guys.
(MURMURING) Yeah, what's up? (INDISTINCT CONVERSATION) Yes, he's a very active member of this group.
You know, he works a lot, so (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) - Thanks.
- Yeah.
- (PALMS RUBBING) - Um So I'm sorry.
You guys Do you guys mind if we pick this up on Thursday? Yeah? (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) - (WHISPERS) Thank you so much.
- What'd they say? (WHISPERING) Just a sec.
You okay? Not really.
They were looking for Leon.
They've been trying to reach him.
There's no way Leon would steal from the church.
Since he got out, this place has been everything to him.
You should call him and tell him the worst thing he could do is avoid them.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um Straight to voice mail.
I know where he works.
Will you come, talk to him? Mm, no, I don't think that's a good idea.
If if Leon's not calling them back, he's scared.
(WHISPERING) Okay, you've done time.
You know how he feels.
Please? (THE ASTEROIDS GALAXY TOUR'S "ROCK THE RIDE" PLAYING) You really won't do it for $50? How many times do I have to tell you? You are not doing shots off my stomach.
Dana! Mmm! I love that name! Dana, baby, be reasonable.
Sugar, come on.
$75? Customer wants to do body shots? He should have 'em.
Huh? Listen to Eric.
Come on, on the couch.
Let's go.
All right.
I'll do it.
Hope you don't mind a little bit of sweat, though.
It's hot as balls in here.
- (PATS STOMACH) - All right, let's go.
Nah, I'm I'm cool, man.
You sure? - Yeah, whatever, man.
- (MAN CHUCKLES) All right.
I owe you one.
Thank you.
- Eric.
- Dana.
- Nice to meet you, Dana.
- Nice to meet you, Eric.
- (CAR DOOR CLOSES) - Making loads? J wants to learn.
What's in the box? You know, it's the new motion sensors.
Gotta make sure they're compatible with the alarm.
(SNIFFS) Craig and Deran still bitching about not getting paid to save their mother? Just throw 'em 5 grand, or I'll never hear the end of it.
I'm gonna need the $200,000 back.
I'm not sure the other guys would be too cool knowing you used their money for a hit.
Okay.
Tomorrow? Yeah, I'll go to the bank.
Use credit if I have to.
Good.
- Baz? - Yeah? You know what I was thinking earlier? Do you remember when Pope was 13 and he decided that the cops had tapped all our phones lines, ripped every phone out of the wall? And then he ran out back and climbed up the telephone pole? He was gonna rip down those wires.
If you hadn't talked him down, Pope would've been electrocuted.
Is that why you took me in? To take care of Pope? No, Baz.
I took you in because the minute I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with you.
I gotta make sure these work.
(DEVICE BEEPS) (BEEP) (SEABIRDS CALLING) Uh, no, thanks.
I don't smoke.
Gotta focus.
Suit yourself.
(CHUCKLES) It's exhausting, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
And they're not even tipping.
Oh, the clients tip us at the end.
Oh, yeah? How well? Okay.
Drunk dudes paying with expense accounts tend to be generous.
So what about the weddings? You want 'em rich.
But not too rich, because if they're too rich, they never had to work for it, tips are crap.
How do you, uh, tell who's rich when you're choosing your shifts? Go online, search the date, the boat.
You can figure out who the rich clients are.
Smart girl.
- Well (CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES) So why can't these be traced? They're made of compressed copper powder and they just crumble on impact.
Now seat it.
I had to get rid of Javi, J, for you, because he broke into our home and hurt you.
And because you wanted me to.
Why couldn't I be part of it? (INHALES DEEPLY) I saw an opportunity and I took it.
Now if you can get someone else to take the risk and still get what you want, do that.
That is way more powerful than one of these.
(CLICKING) So how mad are your uncles? (SIGHS DEEPLY) I used to get fed up with my mom all the time.
This one time, I packed up all my stuff and I was ready to leave.
And then, her ex, this asshole junkie named Keith, turns up at the house and tries to break in.
(BULLET CLATTERS) Me and my mom kicked the shit out of him together.
(CASE CLATTERS) And in the morning, you unpacked.
No.
No, I was still gonna leave.
(SIGHS) Then she apologized.
(BULLETS CLATTER) (PRESS CLICKS) (MACHINERY WHIRRING) (DOOR CREAKS) (DOOR CREAKS) (HATCH CREAKS, LOCKS) What the hell you doing down here? Looking for you.
The, uh, client insisted that I got the crew a round.
Boss'll never go for it.
But (HUFFS) I could use one.
(BEER SLOSHING) (WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PA) That's him.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES) - Just let me talk to him for a second.
- All right.
- Leon.
- (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Hey.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
The police they only want to talk to you.
They just need to cross you off their list.
(LOWERED VOICE) Why is he here? Just hear him out? (MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY OVER PA) Last thing I wanted to do, coming off three years inside, was talk to the cops.
Where were you? Solano.
Four years.
- Folsom.
- Yeah.
You know, I got cleaned up inside.
But lately man, I've been slipping.
You know, the night of the robbery at the church, I scored.
Went on the roof of my apartment and fixed.
I talk to the cops, my PO will be there, I'll get tested.
Piss hot, blow my parole.
Okay, this is what you do.
You tell them that you've been sick.
You take 6 Sudafed PEs.
They make you piss hot, too.
Nothing connects you to the robbery, right? No.
Hell, no.
So then you call 'em.
All right.
(SLIDING DOOR OPENS) - Hi, Daddy.
- (ALLISON CHUCKLES) - Hey.
How was it? - Good.
- We went on lots of rides.
- That's good.
That's good.
Can I get my goodbye hug? (KISSES FOREHEAD) Put your stuff in your room.
(WHISPERS) Bye.
Is everything all right? What's going on? A policeman was waiting at my house when we got home.
Wanted to talk to Lena about Cath.
Well, you didn't let him, did you? I didn't know if I should.
But Lena she knew him.
What do you mean? She recognized him.
I guess he knew Cath.
Left his card.
Ah.
What'd he ask her? If you and Cath fought a lot.
If Lena's ever scared of you.
Thanks, Ally.
If something happens to you I'm here for Lena, if you need me.
Sure.
(THE UPSIDEDOWN'S "BLACK RAINBOW" PLAYING) Burning on the inside Burning on the inside So Ally said a grown-up friend of your Mommy's visited you at her house? Is that right? Patrick? Do you know him well? Did he ever visit Mommy here at the house? (POURS MILK) - But he bought me ice cream.
- He bought you ice cream? What's he like? He makes jokes, but not funny ones.
How many times did you see him? You don't know? (SIGHS) (CELLPHONE CHIMING) (SPOON CLINKING) You playing a game, Daddy? Yeah.
Sorta.
Finish your cereal, and I'll take you to school.
(DIAL CLICKING) (CLANK) Told you to replace your leash.
Yo, they're putting up new security in the house today.
- You coming? - Yeah.
What? I grew up in that house, too.
Plus, Smurf can give me my money.
Yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath.
I got in the engine room.
We can drain the oil out of the engine.
Heats right up.
When are you thinking we should hit it? All depends on who's renting the boat.
I'm doing some research.
Yeah? You doing some research? What? Nothing.
I've just never seen you like this.
It's good.
You know, when the boat goes around Catalina, we'll have 20 minutes of no cell coverage.
I mean, they're gonna have satellite phones on the bridge.
We could get a Shoghi jammer.
It'll kill those, take out the other cells.
Yeah, Shoghi's aren't easy to get.
Nah, I got a guy.
My buddy Nick can hook us up.
Good.
I'll make the plan more solid when I pitch it to Baz and Pope.
Does it bother you, how Baz and Smurf dealt with the whole Javi situation? (SCOFFS) Nah, guy had it coming.
Just how they handled it and telling us after? I mean, that just makes us all accessories after the fact.
Well, no one's looking for that kid.
It's just the principle, man.
I said I wanted to have nothing to do with it.
I do a job, I get caught, that's four years.
That's on me.
But murder, man? I that's 20 to life.
I didn't sign up for that shit.
(ENGINE TURNS OFF) - (CAGE RATTLES) - Hey, man.
A woman came in this morning.
Blonde, 60s, drove a gray pickup or a white Jag.
You see her? Gray pickup, yeah.
What unit does she rent? I can't tell you that.
Yeah.

J: Yeah, I haven't done that math homework.
Nope, not gonna do it.

I know.
What the heck? - (WATER SPLASHES) - (LAUGHS) What are you doing here? I'm staying here.
Your ex is staying at your house? That's not weird at all.
No, it's not.
She's actually screwing my uncle.
So it's cool, right? Right.
Nicky, could you get us some beers from the refrigerator, please? Thanks.

Right.

I thought I answered all your questions.
And we appreciate your cooperation.
Check that top one? (UTENSILS CLATTER) Under it, too.
Just dottin' our I's and crossing our T's.

(BLOWS AIR) (SURF ROLLING) (ENGINE STARTS, CAR DOOR CLOSES) (GLOVES SNAP) (URINATING) We both know why you brought Shannon here, and it's idiotic.
- Do you mind? - Okay, and not to mention immature.
- (URINATING STOPS) - Okay.
I brought Shannon here because she's a nice person.
No, Shannon's not nice.
- And - (ZIPS UP PANTS) - It's none of your business.
- (SCOFFS) If you want to screw the dumbest of my uncles, - then do your thing.
- Craig's not dumb.
He burned down his own apartment, Nicky.
- Yeah? - (TURNS ON FAUCET) Well, he's planning a job.
A big one.
Yeah? - Right? Is that what he told you? - Mm-hmm.
Craig doesn't plan jobs, okay? He's muscle.
(CHUCKLES) Well, he does now.
And I'm a part of it.
(GLOVES SNAP) (WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PA) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE) (CLANK) - Hey, man.
- Hey.
What is that? It's a sensor.
You put it on the window, and if the glass breaks, it makes a noise.
Where's Smurf? - I think she's in her room.
- Okay.
Hang with J for a second, okay, kiddo? Look, it's sticky.
(CLEANER SPRITZING) Get the money? It's on the bed.
(UNZIPS BAG) You can count it if you like.
I trust you.
- Lena-roo! - I'm gonna put this away.
Ah! Come on.
Let's go play.
(SINGSONGY) Let's go play, play, play! - SMURF: Funhouse! - (LENA GIGGLES) Funhouse is my favorite.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (CLANKING) (SMURF CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) You gonna help us or what? (BIRDS CHIRPING) (KNIFE CHOPS) Hey.
Can I help make the guacamole? In a little bit.
Go check on Lena.
She's fine.
She's just coloring.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll check on her.
(CONTINUES CHOPPING) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATION) Stop for a sec.
Craig? J? You want a drumroll or something, or I wanna say thank you for having my back.
I know that if any of you were threatened, we'd all act the same.
Is that right? Is this your way of saying you're not gonna pay us? (BAG RUSTLING) (BAG RUSTLES) - That's 20K.
- I thought we were getting 5.
What's this for? I don't believe in "sorry.
" "Sorry" is cheap.
You want something to mean anything, it's gotta cost.
You think Craig with 20K's a good idea? - (SCOFFS) Blow me.
- No, I'm serious.
Do you? That's the point, isn't it? You're all adults now, and I have to learn to let go.
But I want something.
- Of course you do.
- Was waiting for that.
- What? - To launder your cash.
I need money to run through my buildings.
You need paychecks on the books for the IRS.
But your jobs what you do, how you do it not my business.
I'm still out.
(SHUFFLING BILLS) We'll think about it.
Let's finish what we came here to do.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) (LOWERED VOICE) I'm trying to be quiet.
When she's out, she's out.
Is that the last one? - Yeah, that's it.
- Good.
That's a lot of free cash.
What are you gonna do with it? Nothing's free, man.
(CELLPHONE VIBRATING) (TOUCHSCREEN CLICKS) You get something? (SEABIRDS CALLING) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Go see what he caught, okay? I'm gonna be right over there.
Hey.
Called in some serious favors on this.
Let's hear it.
Patrick Fischer's interest in Cath wasn't personal.
What do you mean? He'd opened a Confidential Informant file on her.
No way.
No way.
They put her in foster care when her parents died.
- She hated cops.
- I'm telling you what I know.
Patrick Fischer was working her as a C.
I.
- (WOMAN LAUGHING ON TV) - MAN: Ah! Well, all right, Katie.
As you guys out there may have known (CELLPHONE VIBRATING) Katie has already own an impressive $26,000.
(VIBRATING CONTINUES, TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) (VIBRATING STOPS) Hey.
Here's one two Saturdays from now.
- (TYPES) - Father of the bride, Alan Boyce.
All right, he's a doctor.
Orthopedic surgeon, Cedars Sinai.
(INHALES DEEPLY) No, we can do better than that.
All right.
- (TAPS KEYS) - Here we go.
Father of the bride, Willie Cardosa.
And what's he do? I don't know, but he has a jet.
Wait.
Let me see that.
(LIGHTER CLICKS) Yo, dude's got a winery, Rolls-Royces, and a Bentley.
Nice jet, bro.
Mark Liston? You know him? Yeah, I've been to those stupid meetings.
He's an asshole.
Hey, I mean, he hooked me up with a good bookkeeper, so, you know - (LAUGHS) - That's a plus.
I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
What's going on? Tell me about it.
(SIGHS) Uh, I just started classes.
UC San Diego.
- No shit.
- Yeah.
That's awesome, man.
Good for you.
Yeah, you know, I like competing, but, um, you know, I don't wanna be one of those 60-year-old surfers with a 1-bedroom off the Strand.
Just a place to keep your boards.
Yeah.
I don't wanna be a 60-year-old, lugging some 300-pound safe down some tunnel.
You know? I used to think I was so different from my family 'cause of all the shit that I was hiding.
I just don't want any of the baggage.
What baggage? The shit that blows back on you.
It's Mm-hmm.
So how are you not gonna be that 60-year-old? Soon as I make enough money to buy this building, I'm going legit.
Yeah.
You think your brothers will let you? (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Hmm.
(DAWN GOLDEN'S "BRIEF ENCOUNTER" PLAYING) (LIGHTER CLICKS) If I had run away from home, I would've come back to my mom eventually.
I don't need you to make me feel better.
Maybe the cops are wrong.
No.
Detective Halleck called Pastor Stevens.
The checks from the church were found in Leon's car.
All the time I spent with him I even helped him find an apartment.
I had I had faith in him.
I never once thought he was avoiding the cops because he was guilty, and he used that faith.
(DOOR CREAKS) (WAVES CRASHING) Cops made an arrest for the church.
It's gonna stick.
What? You know, I always wanted to believe Smurf had limits.
But that's bullshit.
She's been stealing from our jobs since 2004.
What? Yeah, I can prove it.
The cop who pulled me over he opened a C.
I.
file on Cath.
And she wouldn't talk.
I know she wouldn't talk.
But if Smurf That cop she pays he could've told her they were trying to get Cath to talk.
(WAVES CONTINUE CRASHING) You think Smurf killed her? Yeah, I do.
