The Detour (2016) s02e11 Episode Script

The Mule

1 Your father has racked up quite the rap sheet customs violations, tax evasion, war profiteering.
It's a pretty long list.
So, you don't talk to each other for years, you reconnect, then all of a sudden, you're driving down to Florida to "get your kids back"? You can see how, from our position, that would seem a little suspicious.
We weren't going to Florida.
Well, where were you going? Cooba.
Don't call it that.
What? That's how you pronounce it.
- No.
- It It isn't.
They call it that.
They do.
They do.
[Sighs.]
Ah, Cooba.
Te amo.
Tell me about it.
I slept in Napoleon's bed last night.
Like, the actual bed Napoleon slept in.
- How was it? - Historic.
My feet hung off the edge, but still, pretty awesome.
Oh, gracias, Carlita.
De nada, Señor Jareb.
I don't know why people say Cuba sucks.
It's awesome! Uh, uno más, por favor.
¿Ah.
Habla Español? Uh, sí.
Uh, poquito.
Bueno.
Bueno.
Sí.
Uh, más lobster.
Thank you.
Yeah, something's got to give.
Nothing good ever lasts for us.
You mean Mom and Dad? Yeah, they're coming, and you know they will ruin it.
That's fine.
I miss them anyway.
Yeah, me too.
Where are they? God, who boats to Cuba? It's the other way around! Yeah, I know, but it's 90 miles, and with the right boat, we can be there in an hour.
Here it is Australia.
Wait, you're using a fake I.
D.
? I'm not gonna rent a boat with a real I.
D.
[Australian accent.]
Oh, no.
No, no.
It's illegal, mate.
Come on, plea No, don't do the accent.
- Please just don't - It's all part of the part.
- Don't do it.
- You got to do the accent.
You don't have to do it.
[Breathing heavily.]
J.
R.
: Do they still have it? Yeah.
They got it.
Still can't figure out why they didn't fly.
It's a long-ass drive.
I want to impress upon you the importance of getting the ass here on time.
The man we're dealing with has literally shot people in the face for a whole lot less.
Somewhere behind the skyline There is a place I'm thinkin' [Distorted music plays.]
What ya fishing for? Uh, does it matter? Of course it matters.
The Spanish are hitting bare hooks.
They're running, man.
They're running hard.
We're not we're not fishing.
Well, then, what do you need a fishing boat for? Uh, we're going to Cuba.
Oh.
No.
I can't let you do that.
Why not? Just'cause.
Mm, that's not an answer.
I know, but you just can't.
You know we're not enemies anymore with them.
[Laughs.]
Mate.
Mate, she's winding you up.
It's a joke.
- Ohhh! - Yeah.
Yeah, she's a real card, this one.
So you are going fishing? Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, we're gonna go out and, uh, check out all the, uh, the reefs.
Oh, cool.
Which ones? Oh, all of them.
You know, the best ones.
Oh, you got to check out Dry Tortugas.
Oh, definitely.
Maybe even check out Wet Tortugas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're quite the fishing duo, us two.
Pick us up some stripers out there.
Oh, you're not gonna find any stripers.
No, not this time of year.
No.
No.
But, uh, codfish, yes.
- No.
- No.
Oh, you know what we're gonna get is, uh, uh, bass.
- No.
- No, not bass.
What I meant to say pickerel.
- No.
- No, definitely.
But, uh, anchovies, they're fighters.
Yeah.
Funny thing about fish.
So, you're definitely not going to Cuba, right? Oh, Cuba? No, mate.
Line up in the streets for butt wipes, like a bunch of commies? Yeah, uh, that's a little racist.
Ah, mate, I'm an Aussie.
It's not racist.
It's honest.
Well, you're in Florida now, home of political correctness and rational thought.
- Yeah.
- [Chuckles.]
Yeah, yeah, forgot.
Got a little beach brain.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
- Brain on the barbie.
- [Chuckles.]
Hey, I get that.
We're also home to bath salts.
Yeah.
Yeah, unfortunate.
- You done? - All done.
Just about.
- Yep.
- Just about.
Got things to do.
Bit of a hurry.
You said you grew up on a boat? [Grunts.]
Oh, geez! Yeah, but down under.
You know, we tied the knots on the opposite side.
Starboard side.
You're on the starboard side.
Ah, not in Australia, mate.
You know, everything's backwards.
Night is day, I'm you, you're me.
Love is easy, hate is hard, and such.
- Let me do it.
- Yes.
This one, she's good with the knots.
"Knotty," I suppose.
[Naughty.]
Puns are big in Aussie land.
[Engine starts.]
Hey, mate, where's the gas pedal? Hey! Come here! Oh, oh! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! That guy's got shit for brains.
Robin: All right, you're gonna take a You're going to go left at the island that, uh, looks like a horse.
It's not gonna look like a horse at this angle! Is there a speed limit for boats? No.
This is awesome! Yeah, I mean, it's just a boat.
I know, but I feel like I'm a boat guy, so that's extra-cool for me.
Really? 'Cause you just crashed this into a dock.
Yeah, but I got the hang of it now.
We should get a boat.
We should get our kids.
We Would you give me five seconds of fun without making me feel like an asshole? - Sorry! - Thank you.
- God.
- It's cool.
Speak English, please.
Your Cantonese accent offends me.
That's fine, 'cause your English accent gives me the giggles.
[Chuckles.]
What do you think that's all about? I don't know secret business stuff? Zhi: You can guarantee shipment to my client's ranch in Wyoming? I'm sorry.
Guar Guarantee what? Shipment.
So Sorry.
What? You know what I said.
Don't worry about it.
Importing is sort of my specialty.
My client would like to be able to do certain things to it.
He can sodomize it, for all I care.
Get it? Saddam-ize it? [Chuckles.]
This leads to concern about the completion of the trophy.
The last piece is on its way right now.
The mule must bring the ass.
What is that, one of those "Confucius say" things? No.
That's what needs to happen.
I speak English very well.
You're such a dick.
Sheep-ment.
[Chinese accent.]
"Can you guarantee my sheep-ment?" [Normal voice.]
You bet.
[Latin music plays.]
Nate: Ahh, Cooba.
Don't Don't call it that.
It's what it's called.
Well, for idiots, maybe, but Doesn't look how I imagined it.
- Where's all the old-timey cars? - Yeah, that's Havana.
This is a fishing village like 20 miles up the coast.
[Groans.]
I got to put this down for a sec.
God.
What'd you say? Ah, that's wasted on me, man.
I don't speak a word of Spanish.
I'm actually kind of embarrassed by it.
How do you say "embarrassed" in Spanish? I don't speak Spanish.
You speak Chinese, but you don't speak Spanish? It's a really easy language.
You add an "a" or an "o" to the end of every word.
Yeah, I'm I'm embarrassedo.
Embarrassedo.
Oui, yeah.
- What? - No, not her.
She speaks like a million languages.
It's me.

Not when it makes you look like a douche! - This makes me look awesome! - It doesn't! Hey, man, how much for this? Yeah, I know it's a sombrero.
How much? I want it.

- Aah! Ow! Ohhhh! That's electrified! - God! - Did that hurt? Yes! Sorry.
I think you might be being a little dramatic.
- It's just - Oh, am I? 'Cause electricity usually suggests "Keep out.
" I think it's more the animals stay in.
So Nate: Not gonna make it.
That big ol' butt's gonna get caught.
That thing's gonna get zapped.
You gonna get zzzapped! [Electricity crackles.]

Iguanas don't hiss.
They grunt.

Oh, babe! Ohhh.
What the hell did you just do? Seriously! What is your major malfunction?! You just killed a bull! Look what you did!! This is the height of animal cruelty! Yeah, if Cuba had a PETA, we'd be on the phone with them right now! I know you guys are trying to step into the "modern era," but you got a lot to learn about how we treat our animals! You are a monster.
Monster.
That's for that bull.
Oh [Breathing shakily.]
[Insects buzzing.]
God.
Buzz off.
God.
I think we're lost.
No, we're on target.
I feel like we've been here before.
Oh, I'm sorry were you raised by an international trafficker of illicit goods? No, I was raised by an insufferable alcoholic twat.
Exactly.
So why don't you relax and listen to me? Because I know where I'm going.
You sure about that? Oh, well, shit.
What's up, man? [Crying.]
Oh, God! We just walked in a six-hour circle! It's okay.

I got bull guts all over me.
You wouldn't happen to have any soap, would you? Yeah.
To wash.
- Yeah.
- Sí, sí? May I have some? Yeah.
S'il vous plaît.
That's sopa, for washing? Yeah.
I get it, okay? It's just it's weird.
So that's communism for you, right? Thank you.
Not much of a lather to this thing, huh? It's doing the trick.
You know, it's funny I used to work in topical surfactants, but I have never seen a sopa like this before.
It's weird, but it works.
Yeah.
That's working nice.
Ahh.
I like the spice to it.
It's like an Old Spice.
It's nice.
I got to say, I thought it was weird, but I guess you communists are all right.
Well, well, well.
Look what we have here.
[Chuckling.]
Hey.
J.
