Hotel Cocaine (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]
See that unkind
looking woman over there?
The mousy one, by the entrance.
- [ROMAN] Your sister.
- None other.
What the hell do you think
you're doing, Constance?
A few years ago,
you borrowed $3 million.
So?
You owe the remaining
$2.1 million, dumbshit.
Can you think of
any of our regular guests
who might be able to loan me some money?
You don't want to get involved
with our guests that way.
What about Ray Dorado? He owns a bank.
He's the last person you should talk to.
I'd like you to plant this
in your brother's house--
wherever he's most likely
to talk about business.
Nestor, you never mentioned
you had a brother.
- A pleasure.
- Congressman.
He's a gritty bastard,
but politicians are useful.
My dad's Congressman Landon.
He, uh, "works" with them.
There's a Colombian
who's staying in your hotel.
His name is Alvaro Gomez.
How and where is he
getting his shit into Miami?
I am here as a representative
of a very powerful man,
who is ready to take control of Miami.
[GROANS]
Gomez doesn't import coke.
He imports weapons and motorcycles.
Colombians are here
to wipe out the competition.
- I have to warn Nestor.
- Nestor goes away,
so does your problem with the DEA.
[NESTOR] Thanks for the warning.
Now let's go inside and find out
who's behind all this.

What's wrong with this one?
Nothing.
[IN SPANISH]
Valeria.
Tell him.
Yes, please.
Tell him.
[SIGHS]
The boy I met at Uncle Nestor's, Andrew?
Mm-hmm. We had a plan to go out.
But his parents said we couldn't.
- Good.
- Roman.
What, she has to concentrate
on school, not boys.
You're so bogus.
Proceed with caution, mi amor.
Just saying,
it's the end of the semester,
and I'm sure his parents
want him studying, too.
No.
It's because I'm not some lily-white
Barbie doll from Palm Beach.
[IN SPANISH]
Hey, we're decorating this weekend.
Have you gotten the Christmas lights?
I have not.
Okay, we need colored
string lights for the tree.
We want the room to sparkle.
[REPORTER ON TV] While the
investigation is all underway,
as yet, the police have no suspects
in the highly coordinated
motorcycle attack
in Little Havana
that saw six people get murdered
in broad daylight just two days ago--
MARISOL: What's happening to this city?
[SIGHS]
[IN SPANISH]
We're not in any danger.
We are perfectly safe.

[SCOFFS] I was about to ask you
the same fuckin' thing.
Get in the van.
[VAN DOOR OPENS]
You guys are real subtle.
Come on in. Have a seat.
Thanks, pal.
Why didn't you warn us Nestor
was gonna kill his rivals?
- Because he didn't.
- Oh, bullshit.
He was also attacked.
Okay, Roman, tell me. Who's responsible?
Alvaro Gomez, like I told you.
Alvaro Gomez is a fictitious
name on a fake passport.
Fictitious or not,
he's staying at The Mutiny.
Why don't you do your fuckin' job?
Now watch your mouth, asshole!
[CHUCKLES] You know what?
You probably think
it's unfair of me, uh,
using Valeria to get
to your brother, huh?
Well, life's not fuckin' fair.
You may have a badge,
but you're no different than
these fuckin' thugs.
You planted a bug
in your brother's house.
So far, it hasn't gotten us shit.
You get him
to incriminate himself on tape,
and then you're off the hook.
This is just wrong.
[SCOFFS]
Look, you're part of a team, amigo.
And, uh
a team's like these Christmas lights.
If one bulb doesn't work
none of 'em do.
[CRUNCHING]
Merry Christmas.

[LATIN MUSIC PLAYING]
[MEN SINGING IN SPANISH]
So, how much money exactly do you need?
So we're looking at, uh,
solid $3 million?
Hola.
Three million dollars is a lot of money.
Take a look around, Ray.
This place is a cash cow,
and you know it.
But you're in debt,
so you're obviously doing
something wrong.
I got 138 rooms that require
constant upgrade.
I have to supply the best food,
the best music, the best lighting.
the best women,
the best drugs, the best--
I've taken a look at your books, Burton.
They're a fuckin' mess.
You're hemorrhaging cash
out of this place.
As far as I'm concerned, you have
no fuckin' clue what you are doing.
All right, you're Ray Dorado.
You own a bank.
[IN SPANISH]
You know, I like you, Burton.
I appreciate the fact
that you're speaking Spanish.
[CHUCKLES] Gracias.
Also, I see the way
you treat your employees,
and I can respect that.
You're a nice guy.
I can get you $3 million.
Okay, Ray, now we're talking.
But you're gonna have to put
the hotel as collateral.
What?
I have a board to whom I'm responsible.
These men, they're Latin.
And they insist on having excess
collateral for a risky loan.
Jesus, Ray, I'd hardly
call the Mutiny a risk.
In my line of business, Burton,
everyone's a risk.

[NESTOR] Look at these photos
Alejandra took at the party
of you and Valeria.
I mean, look at that.
That kid is something special.
Yeah, she is.
She has your eyes. You know that, right?
Thankfully, she looks
more like her mother.
[NESTOR] Well, her mother
lives on in Valeria.
[ROMAN] Hmm.
I'm assuming it was the Colombians
who made a play for you, but why?
Retail in Miami is where the money's at.
Until now, the Colombians left us alone.
Much harder to bribe
your way out of a U.S. jail.
So, who planned this? Escobar?
I spoke to Pablo directly.
He said it's a new player
from Buenaventura.
Coastal city.
Got a cobra stamped on his product.
They are bloodthirsty motherfuckers.
[ROMAN] So, if this guy wants
to take over your business
Attaboy, keep him talking.
I control almost every key
that comes into Dade County.
My territory is the most
lucrative of them all.
They wanna take over my operation.
[RECORDER CLICKS]
Got you.
Now, when do I get to see
my goddaughter again?
And this is the breakdown for today?
Okay, make sure he has table 12.
- Table 12. Copy that.
- Good job.
It's all over the news.
Three men killed in broad
daylight, but not your brother.
I had to warn him.
You get that, right?
I couldn't just let him die.
It says a lot of things
about you, sweetheart.
One of them might be dumb.
Well, look, it's fine.
It's all over anyway.
I got Nestor to admit to his
whole operation on a DEA bug.
That's good, right?
Yeah, it's good for Valeria.
I feel like a piece of shit.
[YOLANDA] Excuse me.
Who is the manager here?
I'm Roman Compte.
This is Janice Nichols, my right hand.
Uh how can we help you, Miss
Yolanda Garcia Guero.
It's a pleasure.
Well, I would love to entertain
some business associates
at the club later tonight,
but they told me
I need a card to get in.
And is there anything you can do?
We may be able to grant temporary entry.
Perfect. Thank you.
Enjoy your stay, Yolanda.
I will.
No one gets into the club
without a card.
I've heard you say that
a gazillion times.
I guess I'm feeling generous.
It's not every day you stab
your brother in the back.

Your father loves you very much.
Please don't bullshit me.
What kind of language is that?
What are you talking about?
I know you bought the car.
You're rich.
My dad can't afford a Beetle.
Let's just say
I gave him a loan
that he didn't ask for.
Okay? Can that be our secret?
Everyone has secrets, padrino.
The would wouldn't work without them.

One secret would be,
why you have so many men

Oh, his father's
a very good friend of mine.
Well, he asked me out,
then his parents told him that
they didn't want him
hanging out with me.
- They say why?
- No.
The only explanation I see is that
they didn't want their son
seeing a Cuban girl.
What else could it be?
[PROJECTOR WHIRRING]
[ROARING]
[DOM] Are you fuckin' kidding me?
This went all the way up
to the sack in Miami,
and he kicked it up
to headquarters in Washington.
I told Compte it was one and done.
No can do. We need to keep him
as an informant.
How? I felt like
a piece of shit using his kid.
I'm not gonna use her again.
I mean, this guy did shit
that other informants
wouldn't even dream of doing.
He dimed on his own brother,
for Christ's sake!
Dom listen.
Headquarters was extremely interested
in Nestor Cabal's discussion
what the Colombians are doing,
because apparently
there is a new player
using Marxist guerrillas
to protect the lab sites in Los Llanos.
His product is marked by a cobra.
Bells and whistles went off.
It went straight from the administrator
to the fuckin' Attorney General himself.
Fuck, no. [SCOFFS]
Because of a fuckin Marxist?
Keep your source focused on
this new Colombian threat.
How?
How is he ever gonna trust me
again if we are fucking him?
Tell him that either he can help us,
or his kid ends up in foster care.
This sucks. You realize that this is
gonna heat things up
between Compte and me, right?
And I sympathize,
but that's how it is in D.C.
They care more about commies
than cocaine.

- No, not at all.
Is that what you see

- No. I'm sorry.
I meant legal action, Burton.

apparently, somebody
in your fuckin' family
thinks your son shouldn't go out
with a Cuban.
[LAUGHING]
That's absurd!
This is the first I've heard of it.
Or maybe it's
'cause she's related to me.
And you have such
fuckin' disrespect for me
that you forbid your son
from being seen with her.
I swear on the Holy Bible,
Jesus and Mary,
and on the life of my son,
I don't know anything about this.
That's probably my goddamn

She's probably still resentful
that her mom drowned
trying to save me from a riptide.
Or she was born with some
seriously negative mojo.
I really don't know.
Maybe she's jealous.
Jealous?
You know how to have fun in life.
You seek pleasure,
and you want others to be happy.
Yeah.
So, maybe it's not that
she wants you to be more like her.

From what you describe,
she's not the type to take a 'lude.
Yeah, well, she won't be taking it,
so much as I'll be slipping it
into her Chardonnay.
You're gonna dose her?
- You can't do that.
- Well
- It's not right. No.
- You said it yourself.
She wants to be more like me.
