Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Dead to Me - full transcript

I just wanted to say
that I didn't see anything

the other day... in the bathroom.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Deran feels terrible about what he did.

A security guard died, and he
wasn't just a security guard...

he was a real cop.

Do you know who my dad is?

There was only one that she really loved.

Was it Baz?

You kidnapped my child.

Your child was wandering around
a grocery store all by herself.



You're lucky she wasn't
really kidnapped.

What kind of family do
you think we are, man?

- Destroy the watches.
- What?!

Where is it... the watch I gave you?

I gave it to Nicky.

Some of us gotta work to live.

Parole agent's coming around,

I'm not looking to take any risk.

Lie low. Don't be stupid. We'll be okay.

He said pulling off another
job is not gonna play so well.

Feel like making some
money... old time's sake?

What kind of money you talking?

I can't just toss a
quarter key out the window.

Where is it?



It's fine. It's in the burrito.

We made 8 grand!

We don't take stupid
risks. We're not greedy.

Sometimes one of these rules gets broken.

There are no secrets in this family...

especially not from me.

I'm sorry for the pool.

I was just screwing around, so...

Oh, that's cool.

You want to take a swing at me?

No.

Not gonna make the offer again.

Do you know what that is?

Is that Baz, Pope, Julia?

Oh, I'm surprised Smurf
didn't sand that shit off, man.

Smurf asks, we're cool, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

When'd you get here?

How the hell does this thing work?

They didn't have espresso
machines at Folsom?

I just want coffee.

Okay.

Where's breakfast?

Smurf didn't make it.

Yeah, no shit.

Is Craig here?

Uh, no, he spent the night at his place.

- But he's still in for paintball.
- What?

Paintball on your birthday... like always.

No, I... no, thanks.

Come on... you get to shoot
something without getting arrested.

I thought you love paintball.

Yeah, when I was 16.

I don't know, man.

We're also going skydiving

- this afternoon, too.
- No. We're not.

You've been staring at
bars for three years.

Let's go have some fun. Come on.

Besides, I already put the down payment

on the plane, so you gotta go.

- What plane?
- For Pope's birthday.

Skydiving, paintball. We're
gonna take him out tonight.

Celebrate the fact that
we don't have to go through

a metal detector to bring
him his cake this year.

Happy birthday, sweetie.

Sounds like a fun day.

- Yeah, for them.
- What does that mean?

It's all shit that you want to do.

You love paintball, you like strip clubs,

Craig likes jumping out of planes.

All right, asshole, what
do you want to do?

I'm gonna go catch a session
before the tide gets too high.

Okay.

Bye, baby.

That's quite a lavish day you have planned.

You need any money?

No, we got it covered.

Yeah, we pooled what we had,

called in some favors, so we're good.

Okay.

I talked to J. It's all good.

Smurf.

Hey, I think we need to get back to work,

talk about the next job, no?

How's Lena?

Uh, well, Cath has been sick,

so that's why she hasn't brought her over.

- Morning, sweetie.
- Morning.

- She's been sick?
- Yeah.

Well, I would have gone over and helped her

take care of the baby if she called.

Come on, Smurf. You took her kid.

She has every right to be pissed.

Tell her I hope she feels better.

You're still so shy.

I changed your diapers every day, baby.

Go on. I won't look.

Hey, sweetie, do you need anything?

Maybe some money?

No.

Hmm?

Don't tell your uncles.

They've been on me for cash for weeks.

And now they have this
big birthday plan for Pope.

How do you think they'll manage that?

They haven't asked me for any money.

I'm not sure.

You haven't heard
anything around the house,

boys talking or anything?

Nope.

I'll show you a thing
or two about paintball.

Yeah, like you know.

Yeah, I do.

I'm going out to pick
some things up for tonight.

If I find one speck of paint
on this house, God help you.

Let's get 'em!

Your loss, buddy!

I'm sorry.

Here.

Shoot him, Pope.

Come on. Shoot me in the face.

Shoot him! Shoot me in the face!

I'm giving you a free shot.

Sorry.

Come on, Pope.

Oh, come on! That's a new gun.

Oh, you wanna... Oh, ho ho!

Cutback.

Give me your phones. Smurf's been arrested.

Uh, get the passport, get Craig here,

- and then start shredding.
- Yeah, yeah. How much?

Everything! J, give me your phone, too.

I gotta change out the SIM card.

Shit, Renn. I-I gotta go.

Shit!

I gotta go.

- Just like that?
- Yeah. Put everything in the truck.

Leaving town tells them we're guilty.

Yeah, we are.

In, in, in.

Hey, Craig, give Deran a hand inside

and get the cash behind the dryer, okay?

I'm gonna call you when
we get to the safe house.

- What?
- You said we shouldn't run, so don't run.

- Hey, get in.
- Y-You're taking him?

I know that you're not gonna roll
on us if the cops squeeze you.

- Him, I'm not so sure of.
- Baz, I don't have a passport.

Okay, well, we'll figure it out.

Get in the car!

Like hell you're leaving me behind.

Let's go.

J, put the food there.

- What happened? What went wrong?
- Just relax.

We're just gonna sit tight,

wait for the lawyer to
call, then we're home-free.

- So, what... Venezuela?
- Yeah, buddy, Venezuela.

I'm not the one that screwed
up the watch store recon.

- So you're just gonna have to...
- I told you we should have taken out

those tweakers.

If the tweakers could have I.D.'d anyone,

the cops would have picked
us up, not Smurf.

Are you gonna call her?

Yeah, I'm gonna ring up Oceanside
PD and ask if Smurf's available.

Catherine.

After we cross the border,
I will call Catherine.

Okay?

Hey.

Down. Get down. Get down.

Open up.

And try not to shoot me.

You bring the passports?

Cops let you out?

She was never in.

So, this was what... some kind of test?

I'll take the keys to Chula Vista, please.

Cash.

This feels light.

Someone must have dipped into it.

How do you expect to get
to South America on this?

- I didn't touch the money.
- It's your responsibility.

You put us through all this for nothing?!

Hey, what happened to not taking risks?

You are running bullshit
jobs behind my back!

Now, that's what I call a risk!

We are not running any jobs.

I'm gonna give you an
opportunity to come clean.

Someone better tell the truth.

There'll be no next job.

We're gonna stop working?

Not me... you.

No more money. You're on your own.

What?!

This conversation is over.

That's bullshit! What
are we supposed to do?!

This conversation is over!

Do you think what I said was
only meant for them?

I didn't do anything behind your back.

Put this shit back where it belongs.

Where were you?

I had to copy my history
homework from Kristy Peters,

and she can barely spell her name.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just had a weird morning.

This'll help.

Okay?

What do 4-year-olds
like to eat?

What?

Well, you have a younger brother.

I don't know... Play-Doh?

I can't believe you haven't noticed.

Where did you find it?

It must have fallen in my bag.

You didn't tell me it was your mom's.

Yeah, well, that's no big deal.

Yes, it is.

I'll never take it off again.

Just don't wear it to the house.

Smurf and my mom, they, uh...

They had a falling-out. It
might drudge up some old shit.

Okay.

Gimme it.

J. You missed my class.

Whose is this?

Well, it didn't smoke itself.

It's mine.

Nicky, you can go.

Now, Nicky.

What do you think Smurf knows?

I don't know, man. I wouldn't
let it get to your head, though.

She says she knows.

Yeah, well, what's there to know?

Nothing.

This one's yours, man.

I didn't put a hole in it.

It was a one-time thing.

So, what is going on with you?

Does your grandmother know you smoke pot?

What, are you gonna kick me out of school?

No.

You're too smart to be a dropout.

Lighter?

Come on. Give me your lighter.

You surf, right, J?

Sometimes.

A photographer I like is
doing an exhibit in Carlsbad.

Surf photos.

Want to go?

What?

You bring something up from Mexico?

No.

Coke or meth?

Do I look like I sell meth?

Coke it is.

How much did you clear?

8!

That's it?

We cleared 12.5.

You guys did a job?

Us and the kid.

You lied to my face!

Yeah, what about all the bullshit
you were telling me before?

Wait a sec! You're
telling me J got a piece?!

- He didn't cut and run.
- I didn't run, okay?

I could have sworn that was your
ass going in the other direction.

Why didn't you cut me in?!

- 'Cause you were in Mexico, you idiot.
- Well, wait a goddamn day!

Hey!

Where's my cut of the coke?!

Not here!

Aaah!

Way to go, genius! You let him get away!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Aah!

Let go of me, man!

You've been out for a month, and
you risk everything for 12 grand?!

Oh, what about you?
Drugs across the border?

Yeah, no risk there.

You should have come to me first!

I gotta run everything by you now?

- Is that how it works?
- Yeah!

Since you went away, yes.

Are you really mad that I did a job
or is it that I cleared more than you?

I'll see you on the ground.

- Ooh, I got you!
- Let go of me!

J's not here, sweetie.

Yeah, I figured I'd wait.

I wanted to thank him for something.

Wouldn't you be more
comfortable waiting by the pool?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hey, is Baz here?

No. He's not back yet.

I, uh... I got some food for Lena,

'cause I heard you weren't feeling well.

Baz said.

Why didn't you go with the guys
to celebrate Pope's birthday?

What's in the bag?

Stuff for mac and cheese.

Come in.

Yo!

You in?

Renn?

You here?

It's Craig.

Oh, shit!

Hey! Hey!

Hey, wake up. Hey! Hey!

Oh, no!

Hey.

Hey. Hey. Wake up.

Yo.

Renn?

Hey. Come on.

Oh, God.

- Oh.
- That smells good.

Yeah, it's the only thing I can make.

Um, where?

Yeah, it's like two cheeses.

Costs about 3 bucks.

My mom really liked it.

Today must be hard.

It's your mom's birthday, too, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's weird.

No one even talks about her. It's...

It's like she never existed.

Yeah.

That's Smurf.

Did you know my mom?

A little.

What about her and Baz?
Were they close?

He tried to get her help.

And it looked like she might
turn the corner a couple times.

Then the money started disappearing.

Couple hundred here or
there, and then a lot more.

And they just... they had to change locks.

Yeah, she said that Smurf kicked
her out because she stood up to her.

Said Smurf turns on
anyone she can't control.

Or goes against her.

Is it ready yet?

Ask J.

Go ahead.

Yay!

- Yay!
- Yum!

Catherine, where's your bathroom?

- Around the corner.
- Thanks.

So, what was it, uh, you
wanted to thanks J for?

We got busted for smoking pot at school.

He said it was his.

Such a good boy.

Oh, I have a great pot
hookup if you ever want some.

Do you really?

Yeah. For sure. Anytime.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

Craig?

Are you okay, sweetheart?

Emergency room.

Yeah, I'm trying to find someone.

A Ray Blackwell.

Blackwell?

Yeah.

Checking.

No one by that name
has been admitted.

Yeah, he's not gonna have I.D. on him.

He's a white male in his 60s.

Probably reeks like alcohol.

Can you check again, please?

You are...?

His son.

One moment.

No one by that description
has been admitted.

Okay, thank you.

Hey.

I gotta talk to you.

- Daddy!
- Hey, sweetie.

Ricardo called. The rent's past due.

Well, I don't have it.
We're laying low. I mean...

Oh, okay, I'll tell him that.
I'm sure he'll understand.

Well, it wouldn't be an issue if we
just lived in one of Smurf's buildings.

Just ask him if he can let it
slide a few more days, please.

But you can dig up the money
to blow on Pope's birthday.

Cath...

I already caught it from Smurf.

I really don't want to hear
it from you, too.

Oh, just ask her for it.

Doesn't help that I have to keep making
excuses for why you won't bring Lena over.

Can I have more?

J makes it better than you.

What...

J?

He brought the mac and cheese.

What?

He's in the bathroom.

What are you doing here, man?

Is that my mom?

Did Smurf send you?

- What?
- To find out if Cath is really sick.

Did Smurf send you?

No.

I thought I told you to come to me.

The job with Pope and Deran.

You should have talked
to me about it first.

I'm sorry.

You can't just be coming around here, man.

This is my house.

My family.

I'll go.

It's his mom's birthday.

Not just Pope's.

Smurf takes my child without asking,

and you want me to apologize?

You said shit you shouldn't have said!

No, I should have hit her with the car!

Okay.

Do it for me, then,
please. Just do it for me.

Screw... you.

Okay.

- Stand up for me.
- Cath, fix it.

Fix it!

What is going on with you?

Nothing.

Bullshit!

Smurf's icing me out.

Why didn't you say something?

'Cause I'm trying to handle it.

I messed up.

The cop?

Just feel like shit's
getting out of control.

Smurf will get over it. She needs you.

Call her.

- Baz, I can't.
- Cath, you gotta call her.

You gotta make things right.

I would like to make a toast.

I'm so happy that we can
finally all be together

to celebrate the day I first laid
eyes on my beautiful, beautiful boy.

Here's to my firstborn.

- Pope.
- Pope.

Make a wish and blow out your candle.

It's not just Pope's birthday.

It's my mom's, too.

Yes, it is.

Pope, blow out your candle.

Who wants cake?

Excuse me, can we get some girls over here?

- Sure.
- To Pope.

- Pope.
- Pope.

Pope.

I think Smurf knows about the jobs.

- Relax.
- I told you... She's bluffing.

How do you know that?

Did anyone say anything?

We stick together and our mouths shut,

she won't know shit.

Hey, can we not talk about our
mom in the strip club right now?

Thank you.

Hey, guys. Dance?

Yeah, hey, J, what do you
like... brunette or redhead?

Doesn't matter. They're
both for me anyway.

Hey, which girl here give a good time?

- Pepper.
- Pepper!

Pepper?!

You want a dance?

Yeah.

For my man, J.

- No, he's kidding.
- No, I'm not.

- Give him the ride of his life.
- I have a girlfriend.

You're cute.

Hear that? Thinks you're cute, bro.

Don't hurt her feelings, okay?

Thank you.

So, is this Pope?

That is Pope.

Welcome home, soldier.

I was telling her about that classified
shit you were doing in Afghanistan.

She wants to thank you for your service.

Yeah, I wasn't in Afghanistan, so...

I don't care, honey.

He paid me $1,000 to put a smile
on your face, so you coming or what?

Who's this?

It's me... Renn.

Uh...

W-What's up? Where are you?

The E.R.

Can you come?

Uh, yeah, I'll... I'll be right there.

Out.

Sit down.

You can touch me.

Stay right here.

Can't remember the last
time I had an erection.

So...

- I can fix that.
- I don't think so.

Try me.

Stand over there.

Turn around.

Take off your clothes.

Like this?

I said turn around.

Gotta wear the rubber.

Say we can't.

- What?
- "We can't."

- We can't.
- Say it.

We can't.

"We can't, Andrew."

We can't, Andrew.

Say it like you love me.

- We can't, Andrew.
- Mean it.

- We can't, Andrew.
- Mean it.

We can't, Andrew!

Where's Deran?

He's in the back, with the girls.

Let's go.

What about Baz?

Screw Baz.

Let's go.

S-So, where are we going?

You didn't say anything
to Smurf about that thing we did?

No.

Pope, I didn't say anything.

Good.

Get out.

You read the Bible?

What?

The seven seals.

Only Jesus can open them.

First four unleash the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Conquerors bent on conquest.

Do you think that's us?

Who?

Me, Baz, Craig, and Deran.

Four.

I don't think so.

Yeah, probably not.

Over the fence.

Pope, I didn't say anything to Smurf.

Over the fence.

You remember where Julia is?

Well, that tree looks familiar.

I thought she was over here,

but I think I took you
to the wrong side, man.

No one even says her name, you know?

Yeah.

She ever talk about me?

Sometimes.

We used to have this thing, you know...

on our birthday...

when we were kids.

You know when you, uh, you make a wish,

you blow out your candles.

After, I'd tell her what my wish
was, and then she'd tell me hers.

We weren't supposed to do that, but...

...it still felt like a secret.

You know?

When it... when it was just us.

Pope...

What about... her and Baz?

What about 'em?

Were they close, too?

Baz has a way of getting what he wants.

I didn't...

I didn't know that she
would never come back.

It's not your fault.

I get why you felt like
you had to kick her out.

Yeah?

Why is that?

Because of the drugs. I mean...

Who told you?

Catherine.

It's cold.

Hey.

Where's J?

Must have left with Pope.

It's all good with Cath?

How should I know?

She didn't call you?

Nope.

Anyone have anything to say to me?

You have your own places.

Why don't you sleep there tonight?

Yeah, right.

Deran.

What?

You're not sleeping here tonight.

What are you waiting for?

Pope pulled a job.

Uh-huh.

With Deran and the kid.

With J?

You didn't know?

What about Craig?

He brought a package back from Mexico.

It was a one-time thing. I
made sure it won't happen again.

You should have made sure it
didn't happen in the first place.

He hid it from me.

Look, I did what you asked.
I came clean about the jobs.

Hey. You got that joint?

I certainly do.

Renn?

- Hey.
- Hey.

What happened?

O.D.'d.

Debbie from next door found me.

I got ripped off.

The coke and the pills.

Bastard even took the
necklace I got in Bali.

Just... left me there.

You know who?

Well, the important thing is you're okay.

I'm gonna find out who did this to me.

And you're gonna get him.

What?

You hurt him.

I will make it worth your while.

Just rest, okay?

Yeah.

Aren't you gonna come kiss me good night?

Nicky stayed over.

I told her she could.

You don't mind, do you?

Come.

I made something for you.

You know, this morning, you told me

the boys didn't do anything behind my back.

That isn't true, is it?

You're a good liar, kiddo.

I didn't expect that.

But you are your mother's son, huh?

You know the mistake I made with her?

I gave her too many chances.

Don't ever lie to me again.
