Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Child Care - full transcript

You think we're gonna get
him back on those meds again?

Are those for Pope?

I was admiring this little
gem when we came in tonight.

So what's this thing do?
About a buck 20? A buck 30?

- Open road, I've done 140.
- Wow.

Well, I really liked your
dad. He seems very cool.

And that pallet of money story, man...

that was crazy.

The other day, he freaked
when I moved his briefcase.

All his classified documents and shit?

How's living with your grandmother?



It's okay.

That's a lot of people to contend with

- after just being you and your Mom.
- Yeah.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, baby.

Renn?

Shit. Hey. Hey! Hey.

You did good. You got J
opening up about his family.

I'm doing 120 right now!

Put on your big boy
pants, man! Let's see it!

125! 130!

- Floor it! Come on!
- No, no, no.

I couldn't do it!

Whoo. Better than sex, huh?



More like a heart attack.

Wanna go again? Go!

Need to see if these guys
are in here. I've got, uh...

I'm here for my son, Andrew Cody.

I was told you were his parole officer.

You want to let me know
why he was arrested?

Flash incarceration. A warning.

If he violates his parole again,

he'll serve out the rest
of his sentence in prison.

My son did not violate his parole.

My son has a job, a home, and
he reports to you regularly.

Maybe I should just call my lawyer.

You wanna waste your money, you go ahead.

There's nothing he can do
about a failed drug test.

Andrew does not take drugs.

Well, he must've taken something.

Is he back on his meds?

Sit down.

He'll be released shortly.

Happens again, he'll do real time.

- I need those checked out.
- All right.

I'm saving up for college, for Nicky,

if she ever goes.

Lord knows schools aren't lining up

to admit "C" students right now.

Oh, she'll get it
together. She's a smart kid.

Oh, you can leave it in
there, man. I-I'll lock it.

Oh, no, no, no. That's okay.

My dad wants to know if
you want Mexican or Italian.

Whatever's fine.

I don't know what's worse...

him hating you or inviting
you for family night.

Oh, wait.

The hotter you look, the
better mood Anderson'll be

when she grades our tests.

Mm.

Sit down, everyone.

Ms. Anderson is out. I'm giving the test.

Looks like it's my turn.

Think he'll give me any of the answers?

- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.

Pass it back.

Pass it back.

_

Pass it back.

_

Pass it back.

Take a shower, put on
your wire, go to school.

- He trusts me.
- Good.

Look, I can't do this. I
can't... I can't even sleep.

Where was this conscience when you decided

to buy 5 grams of heroin
from an undercover cop?

- I've never done this before, okay?
- I need details...

what the Codys did,
what they're doing next.

What am I supposed to say?

Seriously? What am I supposed to say?

"Hey, J, how's it going?

By the way, what crimes have
your family been up to lately?"

I'm the only thing keeping
your life from blowing up.

You should be thanking me.

You should be thanking me.

Thank you.

Put your shoes on.

I'm gonna show you something.

I need some advice.

What do you do when your
daughter's screaming nonstop

because you won't let
her get her ears pierced?

- I mean, what do you do?
- How old is she?

6.

But her mother's were pierced
before she was on solids.

It's a Latina thing. I don't know.

You, my friend, are screwed.

All right? So just accept it.

Raise up that white flag
and... and just, you know,

- avoid all the tantrums.
- Yeah.

Focus on the family
business. That's what I say.

How's that going, anyway?

It's good. Yeah, it's good.

I mean, it's better than
working for someone else.

I spent two years keeping the
books for Elite Platinum Properties.

Basically just a fancy name
for a shithead named Artie.

I'm telling you,

I kept his business running
while he made his tee time.

I deserved to be partner.

All I asked for was a raise,
said he couldn't justify it.

- What'd you do?
- Well, I waited till tax time,

then I dumped a year's worth
of invoices on his desk.

First, he shit a brick. Then he, uh...

...then he begged me to stay.

What'd you say?

Well, I said, I couldn't justify it.

Cheers.

What about you?

You ever feel like giving
your boss the finger?

- Who hasn't?
- Yeah.

What would you do?

You know, to get back at
him. What would you do?

Come on. Tell me you
haven't thought about it.

- I call bullshit.
- Two beers?

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Maybe I would, uh, adjust the paperwork,

so all the ATMs on the
U.S.S Ronald Reagan

would run out of cash

about three months into their deployment.

Right?

I'd bury... I would
bury all the shortcomings

and I'd make it completely untraceable.

Ah. But wouldn't that get you in trouble?

Not if I did it right.

Shit would roll uphill
with that kind of money.

You could make that much money go missing?

Are you kidding me?

That kind of money goes
missing all the time.

The Navy just doesn't want
anybody to know about it.

LSD.

There must've been some mistake.

That's what I told my P.O.

I've never taken that shit in my life.

- Are you sure this wasn't a shakedown?
- No, he's straight.

"Piss test don't lie." That's what he said.

Well, that's not true.

They mix up those samples all the time.

They made me take a second test.

It's positive.

That's Baz. He wants to meet.

He's been working on an idea.

You comin'?

Used to be a house down there.

Emilio and Carmen Ortiz.

Used to work with me
back when I was on patrol.

Cops?

Confidential informants.

They had done a string of
robberies along the coast

and wanted out.

I think they would've been okay
after they did a little time,

but...

...they made the mistake
of getting into business

with Janine Cody.

J's grandmother.

She suspected they were informants,

sent her son Andrew to burn the house down.

They found Carmen here.

She was lucky. She died of smoke inhalation

before her skin started to burn off.

Could only confirm it was her
after we sent the teeth to the lab.

And Emilio... he must've tried to run.

Found him by the door.

Part of the burning ceiling
fell, severed his torso.

March 3, 1997.

So the last people to
inform on the Codys for you

burned to death.

And you want me to get
J to do the same thing?

He's not one of them. Not really.

And this is what they do to outsiders.

Only way to protect him is
to get him away from them.

But how?

Keep doing what you're doing.

He kissed me.

Text him.

See what he's doing after school.

Are you asking me to sleep
with a 17-year-old kid?

Of course not. That would be illegal.

But if you care about
that kid, get him out,

before we have to ID
him by his teeth.

You, uh, holding out on me?

I didn't do LSD.

- Hey, you eat a bagel?
- What?

- A bagel. Did you eat a bagel?
- What the hell are you talking about?

The poppy seeds, man.
That shit is in your piss.

- Everybody knows that.
- Come on.

That's opium, dipshit.

Yeah, well, maybe something else.

Maybe not the poppies, but, you know,

something like that. Just sayin'.

To your health.

Hey.

Pope spent the night in jail.

Yeah, I heard.

Not even long enough to make
a toothbrush into a shiv.

- Okay, let's get started.
- I think I have something.

Could be big.

Camp Pendleton.

- Wow, what about it?
- We're gonna hit it.

That's a military base.

Sounds awesome. I'm in.

Yeah, what are we going for?
A nuclear warhead or a tank?

There is a ton of cash on that base. A ton.

Surrounded by soldiers with sniper
rifles and attack helicopters.

Yeah, all useless if they
don't know we're taking it.

How?

Still working on that part.

Well, sounds like a foolproof plan.

Look, it's gonna take some time,

but my mark knows the
ins and outs of the base.

- Wait, your mark?
- Yeah. Paul.

Nicky's dad.

Nicky? J's girlfriend Nicky?

Yeah. He handles serious
money for long deployments,

aircraft carriers, all that.
I've been workin' him hard.

Hold on. Since when do
we do jobs with people

outside of the family?

This Paul guy... he sounds like a pussy.

And the... the second the
cops breathe in his direction,

he's going to point them right to us.

Pope, I can handle him.

I got a feeling he's ready
to cross a line. He wants it.

- He just needs a push. I'm telling you...
- No.

No! No! No.

We case a joint, we go in with guns,

we come out with cash.

It's not that complicated.

Like the Wells Fargo job? So
easy it landed you in prison.

Yeah. Saving your ass.

Are you on board with this crap?

Let's see if the plan has legs.

Gonna need you guys to do your part.

Yeah, I got an opening in my
schedule on Thursday, so...

It's gotta be tonight.

- Renn's throwing a party.
- Well, you're missing it.

I'll give you the details in a minute.

Is that your way of telling us to leave?

Mm-hmm.

Pope suspect anything? Meds?

I don't know.

What about J?

What about J?

He might have an opinion
on using Nicky's dad.

J will find out when I want him to.

Good. We agree.

No, we don't agree.

You're talking about a military base.

You, too, huh?

The bigger the score, the bigger the risk.

But not if we do it my way.

Whoo! I'm making you my bitch.

Yeah, Baz is making us both his bitches.

Well, if his idea works, at
least we'll be rolling in it.

You know, we could rob Fort Knox,

and Smurf would still have us on allowance.

This is bullshit.

I could be at a killer party right now.

Yeah, and robbing a house would be rad

- if Baz doesn't make us do all the work.
- Mm-hmm.

What's up?

Just waiting for Smurf.

What, are you going to church?

No. I'm going to dinner
with Nicky's family.

Well, if her dad's paying, get the lobster.

Shouldn't you boys be getting a move on?

Yeah, after this game.

J, can you wait for me in the car, please?

I want you to go now and focus.

Look, if you don't think we're capable

of doing this job, you can
go find someone else to do it.

Baby, I would never ask you to do anything

- you feel uncomfortable with.
- Good.

Then tell Baz we're taking

the night off from his bullshit.

Go.

You really feel that way?

Mm-hmm.

Deran?

Tell her, man.

Pussy!

I think Pope will be
happy to fill in for you.

And I'll remember who pulled their weight

when I divvy up the take.

Cath?

Cath.

Hey.

We waited for you, but Lena was tired.

Yeah, I got held up at Smurf's.

I called.

Deran said you left hours ago.

You think I like this?

The nagging wife, always
asking where you've been.

Well, you're getting good at it.

You know, guys come into the
bar and hit on me all the time.

I'm not cheating on you, Cath. Okay?

Used to be a pain in the ass,

trying to let them down
gently without losing tips.

Now I look forward to it,

someone wanting to talk to me.

I was at my dad's.

He lives in a trailer over in Vista.

I thought he was in for life.

I guess the state thought
26 years was enough.

You're talking to him?

After everything he did to you...

You telling me you wouldn't
talk to your parents

if they were still alive?

Does Smurf know?

No. No, Smurf does not know.

Doesn't matter anyway. He's gone.

Where?

Who knows? But he's gone.

Then why'd you go there?

Feed his cat.

You... You went to feed his cat?

I did. Yes.

- Salud.
- Salud.

I had no idea the shit
in Fresno was this good.

You should have your
cousins come down more often.

You ready for another line?

I don't have to be anywhere.

You know, if you'd told me

this is what you do after you close...

I would've been here every night.

Scottie manages the place.

Mm.

Whoa! Whoo!

Whoo!

Now I want you to make me scream.

Hmm.

All right.

Now come here.

Can't believe Smurf has me doing this shit.

It's not Smurf. It's Baz.

I haven't hit a house since, like, puberty.

Jeez, man, you were bitching
about the job being too hard.

Now you're bitching
about it being too easy.

- Why you even here?
- Do you wanna do it alone?

- Do you?
- Relax, man. No.

One night in jail and
you're in a shitty mood.

Something happens tonight...

I'm coming out firing.
Do you understand me?

They're gonna have to kill me
'cause I'm not going back inside.

Jesus, man, what happened to you in there?

Bingo. Magnet.

All right, TV.

What do you say

we do some more blow and go again?

- Hmm?
- Tempting.

But I gotta go.

I don't wanna see this.

See what?

See what?

Sage was in Portland the day I got robbed.

Showed me a plane ticket and everything.

It's an easy mistake.

You don't have to feel bad.
We'll find the right guy.

You had my necklace...

the one you said you got from him.

You left me to die, Craig.

Now I'm gonna do the same.

Aah!

Tie this piece of shit.

- Got it?
- I got it, got it.

Come on.

Come on. Let's get him up.

Uhh!

I got the jewelry from
the bedroom, but it's crap.

It won't even cover the cost of gas.

Yeah, who gives a shit?
I got the briefcase.

What's in it?

I don't know. Papers and stuff.

Papers? Baz has us breaking in for papers?

Yeah.

You wanna tell me why I'm wasting my time

for a used television and crap jewelry?

Look, I don't know, man.
I'm just doing what I'm told.

All right, let's get out of here.

Come on, come on.

Okay, so, uh, two strawberries,

a cookies and cream. Nicky,
I know you want mint chip. J?

- Chocolate, please.
- And chocolate.

This is so lame.

- He's fine. He's being nice.
- Okay, so that's...

- Uh, Paul.
- That's $5.

- No, no, no. Your money's no good here.
- No, no, come on, I...

No, no, no. Your uncle
bought me lunch today.

Tonight is on me. Okay?
Baz. He took care of me.

Thank you. No, you guys keep
the change. Thank you so much.

How boring are we?

Right?

Oh.

Yeah?

Thank you.

We gotta go.

No, we gotta go right now.

That H?

Four dimes.

Enough to OD an elephant.

You guys don't think
I'm buying this, do you?

Huh?

Get the plastic.

Sure, get the plastic.

Good idea. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay, l-look...
m-message received, okay?

I was an asshole. So
give me a good beating,

and we'll call it even, okay?

Where do we dump his body?

Arrowhead?

Look, it wasn't my fault, okay? I...

I-I checked Renn's... I checked
her... I checked her pulse.

I'm not a goddamn doctor.

Wait. Wait. Wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait!

Do you know who my family is? Huh?

If you do anything to me,
you're signing your own...

You are signing your own death certificate!

No! No!

No, call 9-1-1!
No, no, no!

Come on, don't... don't let me die! Please!

How do you think Renn felt, shithead?

Please, do... do something! Please!

Check it out, he's pissing himself.

Oh, shit, man.

Ooh.

Saline. Salt and water.

A little tea for coloring.

Whoo.

You still owe Renn for what you took.

6 grand plus $800 for the coke tonight.

Get it here, we'll let you live, okay?

Make a call.

How did they break in exactly?

They said they came in
through the back door.

- They broke one of those glasses.
- I always worried...

- Oh.
- Oh, my God.

- Oh!
- They got the computer!

- Oh, my God.
- They took the television.

Everything is...

- Oh, my God.
- I don't believe it.

Officer, they came in
through... How did they come in?

No. No, not my briefcase.

Please tell me they did
not take my briefcase.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna check upstairs,

- see if they took anything.
- Look for my briefcase!

Okay, Sweetie. Oh, my God! Paul!

Check my room!

- I'm here for Craig.
- Who are you?

His mother.

You called your mom?

What'd you do, Baby?

Ripped off our cousin and left her to die.

Craig?

Thank you.

Oh, shit.

Go get dressed, Baby.

You can put your gun away, pendejo.

Nobody's shootin' anybody here.

He started it. We just made it right.

So we're even?

No.

Craig, give me your keys.

Your keys.

That's my Ducati.

What are you doing? Don't give him my bike.

Misbehave, you lose your toys.

Go get in the car.

Don't you mistake my
generosity for weakness.

Got your shirt.

Thanks.

Did, um...

did you rob Nicky's house?

I heard you and Craig talking
about it. Was it Nicky's?

So what if it was?

You could've robbed anybody, man.

Look, man, I'm just the grunt, okay?

Talk to Baz. He's the
big man with the plan.

He's not done with them.

First Pope, now you?

You know I had hoped that
someday you boys would know

how to take care of yourselves.

You haven't even heard my side.

I know your side, Sweetie, by heart.

I encouraged you to be
wild, but there's a line.

What do you expect?

All you give me are the shit jobs.

That's not true.

You think I'm stupid?

You don't even try to hide it.

I don't think you're stupid.

I think you've got real gifts.

Yeah? What?

You're fearless.

You've got what it takes to
do things your brothers won't.

They can't.

But the next time
something like this happens,

don't you call me,

because I will not come.

Want some syrup?

Here we go. Just a little bit.

Good? More?

More? Oh, my God.

You're gonna be bouncing
off the walls, kiddo.

Yikes.

- We should do this more often.
- Yeah.

Pancakes every day. Remember?

I do remember.

We were kids when we agreed to that.

A deal's a deal.

That's only 'cause we thought
that's what real parents did.

What's real parents?

Something me and her
sure as hell didn't have.

- Baz...
- What? She should know

where she came from.

You remember what else we agreed to?

- No?
- Mnh-mnh.

One girl, one boy.

We can't afford another kid.

Well, I'm workin 'on that.

What do you say after this next job,

we take off to the mountains?

Get a cabin like we used to?

What do you say, Lena?
You want a baby brother?

You do? See, she does.

Oh, it's kinda hard to guarantee a boy.

Deal's a deal.

All right, I gotta split.

Bye.

Have a good day at work, Daddy.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hey. I brought my bikini.

Nicky, I don't think we
should see each other anymore.

Cops said there isn't much chance of
getting our stuff back. Thanks a lot.

Think Smurf can make me a Bloody Mary?

I mean it.

What are you talking about?

I'm sorry.

Wait, you're... you're breaking up with me?

But you like me.

- Did I do something?
- No. No.

Is there some other
girl? What? Say something.

Nicky, you have to go.

Look, I know it's been hard for you...

- You have to go.
- Hey, you walk away from me?

Hey, this is bullshit!

You just went out to dinner with my family.

Is that it? Dinner? Ice cream?

Things get a little too normal for you?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Your idea of normal

was watching some random guy
stick a needle in your mom

before he put his dick inside her.

Don't say shit about my mom.

You don't know what's going on here.

You have no idea.

Why are you acting like this?

- No.
- Why?

Look...

it's over.

I want you to stay away from me,

and you stay away from my family.

Lunch!

Hey, buddy. How was last night? A rager?

- What?
- Renn's party.

It was okay.

By the way you made it sound,
I thought you'd still be high.

What are you building out there?

A fountain.

What? For, like, birds?

For, like, me.

Here you go, Sweetie. It's your favorite.

Spicy chili.

- Craig's looks good.
- What the hell, man?

- Just take mine.
- I don't want yours.

Don't make a big deal about this.

Oh, my God. If it get you guys to shut up,

- I'll have yours.
- Fine.

You hungry, Sweetie?

What's the matter, honey?

Nicky broke up with me.

Do you know why?

Wow, you weren't kidding. This
stuff is really good.

- Yeah, it's great.
- Aged 18 years.

After I heard what happened, I
figured you could use a drink.

- Can you believe it?
- I can't.

Cops said that a bunch
of amateurs did this.

- Yeah.
- They still have nothing to go off of.

- You have insurance?
- Yeah.

Yeah. That sucks.

It's just stuff, though,
right? It's replaceable.

They took my briefcase.

- Why?
- It was locked.

They probably thought there
was something valuable inside?

I-I-I
don't know.

But it's just work stuff, right? I mean...

What's the problem?

Some of those files are classified.

Okay, they're not supposed
to be off the base.

I mean, I bring them home sometimes because

I'd spend the rest of my
life in that freaking office.

I know. I hear ya.

The Navy takes this shit so seriously.

Wait. Would they fire you?

- They could court-martial me.
- Oh, shit.

How bad do you want those files back?

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, we handle a bunch
of low income properties,

and we deal with some
pretty shady characters.

If we want a problem fixed...

we call some guys.

What kind of guys?

The kind of guys that can ask around.

They can find out which
crew did your house.

Maybe get your briefcase back.

How are they gonna do that?

It's better not to ask questions.

Forget it. I shouldn't have brought it up.

No. No, no, no.

Call your guys.

Okay.

- Hey.
- What are you doing here?

I was just having a drink with your dad.

Don't tell J I saw you. He
might go off on you, too.

What does that mean?

He's a shit is what it means.

He just broke up with me.

- Why?
- Like I know?

Everything was cool,
and then out of nowhere,

he just flips out and
wants nothing to do with me.

I should've punched him.

Well, he made a big mistake.

- Hey, Baz.
- Hey, man, you free?

Do you wanna grab a beer?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Where?

How about Tower 9? Say half an hour?

- Okay, cool.
- All right, great, I'll see you there.

Right, yeah. Okay, bye.

Have you seen the diamond blade?

I've been putting these in your food

because you need them and you
never would've listened to me,

not in the state you were in.

So I should thank you.

The instructions are on the labels.

You know you could've gotten
me sent back to prison.

Before your next piss test,

you tell your parole officer
you're back on your meds.

And what makes you think
I'm gonna keep taking 'em?

Because you know you need them.

You don't like me unless
I'm on these pills?

Is that it?

Or I could just flush 'em.

Could take 'em or flush 'em.

So many choices.

Hey, man.

Hey.

I heard about Nicky.

Oh, yeah. Did Smurf tell you?

Mm-hmm. I thought things were good.

Me, too, man.

Not for her, I guess.

So she dumped you?

Yeah.

I had no idea it was coming, man.

Yeah, women don't always make sense.

Thing is...

Nicky told me you dumped her.

So which is it, J?

How 'bout you don't bullshit
me, I don't bullshit you?

You figured out what's been going on?

Yeah, enough.

And you think you're protecting her?

- You're using her, right?
- Yes.

And her dad.

I thought you'd know this by now.

Everyone outside the
family is a mark. Everyone.

Am I a mark?

Look, you overreacted. It's fine.

You didn't do any permanent damage.

But this thing is happening, okay?

With or without you, this is happening.

Just leave Nicky and her family alone.

Are you making demands now?
You think that's how this works?

You're lucky you and I
are just talking right now.

You're lucky.

Family comes first.
Everything else is second.

You understand me?

I need to know you're not
gonna do anything stupid.

Are you gonna do anything stupid, J?

No.

I wanna believe you. I really, really do.

I'll see you back at the house.

I told Pope about the medications.

I had no choice. And don't worry.

I didn't tell him you knew anything.

Where is he?

In his hotel room, I hope.

We may have another problem.

Nicky's dad?

No, that went just like we wanted it to.

J.

Hey. Is everything okay?

I was worried when I didn't hear from you.

I'm sorry. I just, um...

Hey, what's... what is it? What's wrong?

Can I come in for a little while?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Come on.
