Coyote (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

Plaza De Nada

1
Let's go.
Vamanos.
Heard two of our wholesalers
in Watts got arrested.
Sugar Thomas and Rastin Turner.
Dos negritos.
You trust them not to flip?
If they're dead, yeah.
Trick or treat!
Hey.
Trick or treat.
Ooh, a monster.
- Gracias.
- Happy Halloween.
Take it easy on him,
bro. He's only a kid.
Hey!
You can have him.
Papa!
Papa.
Ah, go ahead.
You'd be doing me a fucking favor.
What are you doing here?
My job.
Hey, you want me to
track down these guns,
I have to follow in Javi's footprints.
You want to go to the States?
Guns come from the north,
not the other way around.
I have to go to San Diego,
but to do that, I need permission.
You have it.
I meant from your brother.
Not a word about those
guns to my brother.
Hola, señorita.
Lo siento interrupting.
Yo soy aquí para to
Come in.
Okay.
Follow me, please.
My husband's in his office.
This way.
Sorry to interrupt your
party.
It's not a party.
Just dinner among family.
Well, uhm
speaking of family
What is it, Ben?
My ex-wife and my daughter
are in hell over what your
your nephew did.
I should be with them.
I thought as a family
man, you'd understand.
So you want to go north
to give them closure?
And how do you plan on doing that?
By taking Frank's body with me.
In a suitcase?
In the trunk of a car?
He's already buried.
Are you going to dig him up?
If I have to.
And then what?
I'll make sure that he's found
by the San Diego police.
Look, the longer he's missing,
more of a problem he is for everyone.
I wonder how your wife would feel
about an FBI manhunt
leading to your front door.
You still love her.
Your ex.
Don't you?
It's the right thing
to do. That's all.
Hm.
You gringos have a very
unique view of family.
Watch TV in separate rooms,
send your parents to
old-age homes to die.
And apparently, divorce
people you love.
You can go see your family,
but the dead man stays here.
Now if you want to see a real family,
I can show you one.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
And he's dead.
Señor Clemens, I'd like
you to meet my grandma.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Sister and Manuel.
- Hello.
- Que gusto.
You've met my wife Paloma.
And I think you know my cousin.
Yeah, we've met.
Uh, I have to go.
- Sure you don't want to stay?
There is more than enough food.
I'm fine.
Ben.
Ben, wait.
Please.
Un-fucking-believable.
That's your fucking family.
We can't control where we were born.
Just because I'm related to them
doesn't mean I'm part of what they do.
I hate what they have done to my town.
What about Javi?
For all I know,
it was you who got him involved
in your family.
Fuck you.
- Where you going?
- Home.
- Where's your mother?
- On the phone.
It's good you're here.
Jill, I
Where could he be, Ben?
I just I don't understand.
The last thing he said to me
was, "I'll see you tonight."
Jill.
- I don't know what to say.
- Then don't.
Okay, I'm sick of people
telling me not to worry,
okay, to have faith.
I know everybody's trying to help,
but I'm sick of the
fucking platitudes, huh?
I mean, it's exhausting.
Look, you need to get some rest.
Okay, okay.
Tell me how I'm supposed to do that
When every time I close my eyes,
I see something horrible
happening to Frank?
What did the police say?
They
they found a record of withdrawal
of a few thousand dollars the day
that Frank went missing.
And they won't tell me if it was him
or a theft or some kind
of kidnapping or
They even asked me
if there was any reason
he might not be happy at home.
Frank was happy.
We were happy.
He wouldn't just walk out like that.
No, no.
He sure didn't seem
like that kind of a guy.
Honey.
Did they say they have
a person of interest?
They're talking
to people at his office.
You know, his last patient
was some guy named Ian.
Well
I'm sure the police
are doing everything they can.
I expected to get that
call about you, Ben.
Not Frank.
And here you are, and
here's the one that's gone.
I'm sorry.
If there's anything I can do, I
Look, you don't have
to stay, all right?
I don't need you to
protect me, Ben, all right?
It's not your role anymore.
It's Jill.
Si.
Holly.
What's up?
What do you know about
this hijacked ICE van?
Two dead agents, six escaped detainees.
Last I heard,
five of them were apprehended.
Bad news is asshole number six.
Now, you want to explain to me
how the underboss of the cartel
you're investigating
is sitting in a CBP detention center,
and you don't know about it?
How the hell did she get stateside?
If you value your job, Vincent,
I'd be a little more concerned
with helping
find out who freed him.
Ben, I didn't expect this.
I so appreciate your help.
No problem.
I could go through this stuff,
see if there's anything worth selling.
Yeah, we can use whatever we can get.
All right.
Jesus.
Whole box of these?
Yeah, well, you knew Javi.
Is this all from his Bronco?
Yeah. Why?
Well, I won't be able to sell this.
It's got a CBP SKU on it.
- What is it?
- An air quality meter.
Tunnel rats carry them
so they check the ventilation
when they go underground.
I can return it for you.
I'd hate for them to charge you for it
when they realize it's missing.
Good idea.
- Here.
- How's the house going?
Listen, Val,
I'm sorry this isn't happening
as fast as you'd like it to,
but the truth is Javi
wasn't that far along.
What do you mean?
The way he talked about it,
it was mostly done.
Those bags of cement
and railroad ties he took down,
he took enough trips
to build the Taj Mahal.
- It's a classic.
Enjoy it.
- Salud.
- Salud.
Proud of you, cuz.
Yo.
Oh, shit.
Come on.
Fuck!
Surprise, Migra.
What the fuck are you
doing here, Migra?
Your uncle gave me
permission to travel north
to visit my family.
So you just wind up
at a fucking tunnel?
With a dead guy in the wall?
I don't know who the fuck that guy is.
Look, I'm looking into my ex-partner
Javi's last days on Earth.
The trail led me here.
Well, it seems like your boy
was just another
corrupt CBP assclown.
If Javi was corrupt,
there was a damn good reason for it.
Bullshit.
The truth.
Ask your father.
He was the one
Javi was supposed to
deliver a load of guns to.
He's lying.
You'd better be right.
Are we done here, kids?
Can I go get my truck?
If he is telling the truth,
who's to say he's gonna
hand over the guns
once he finds them?
Returning.
Thought you retired.
- Not mine.
I'm helping Val Lopez
go through some of Javi's old stuff.
I guess he didn't have
a chance to bring it back.
Any idea when Javi
might've checked it out?
- He didn't.
Wasn't checked out.
Says it's still in inventory.
Clemens, you back again?
You need to get yourself a hobby.
Hey, Ben.
Come talk to me in my office
for a minute, will you?
- I'm sorry.
I'm really busy right now.
- I can't.
- Just for old time's sake.
Rain check.
Ben.
That's him, Officer.
What is this?
Put your hands
on the back of your head.
- What?
- Spread your feet.
Ben Clemens, you have
the right to remain silent?
Anything you say, can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one
No.
Ah, mijo.
Ben Clemens.
Holly Vincent, H.S.I.
I understand you've recently retired.
32 years keeping America safe.
Thank you for your service.
Hell of a shootout.
You want to tell me about it?
Found some of your fingerprints
on the driver's side door.
Ben, I think we both know
those weren't a couple
of day laborers that you shot.
They were sicarios.
Now, normally, I'd buy you a beer
for gunning down scumbags like that,
but one of them was my scumbag.
And if you had just given up
your life of crime
after your little desert adventure,
then we might be good here.
But in addition to killing my CI,
you went and freed a cartel
underboss from U.S. custody.
I hate to say it, Ben, but
you're fucked.
And I've got the evidence to prove it.
Fine. Don't want to talk to me?
Tell it to the two ICE agents outside.
If you had a CI, that means
you had an ongoing case
against the cartel.
You need a new informant.
I know you spoke to Garrett,
which means you know that I helped that
pregnant girl get out of Mexico.
The father of that baby was cartel.
Dante Zamora.
He was the one who sent
those two sicarios after us.
His uncle Juan Diego,
once he found out what I had done
he threatened to kill my family.
Wait a minute, are you saying
that you had a face to face
with El Catrin?
Why do you think I sprung his brother
out of that detention center?
Do you think I wanted to do that?
But I had nothing to do
with getting those two agents killed.
I tried to stop it.
The man I broke out
ordered me to find
some assault rifles.
If you can track the serial number,
maybe you can help me
find the rest of them.
Then you'd have one hell of
a case against the Zamoras.
I just have one condition.
I want my family in witness protection.
After the job is done, not before.
Let's hope you make it
through this alive, Ben.
For both our sakes.
