Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Eat What You Kill - full transcript

You remember your uncles, don't you, J?

- Hey.
- Hey.

We're about to pull a good
job here, life-changing money.

Camp Pendleton... we're gonna hit it.

There is a ton of cash on that base.

I did coke with Craig,
and then I fucked him.

- You and me gonna have a problem?
- Oh, no, we're cool.

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

- His mother.
- You called your mom?

You use me to do the dirty work.

You call that being a mother?



She's betrayed you over and over,

and now she's betraying your family.

I was in Mommy's
car. A man was driving.

Who? You remember who? No?

Lena, where were you going?

If Cath was stepping out on me,

she wouldn't leave
Lena alone in the house.

She wouldn't do it, not ever!

She's gone for good.

I know something happened.
She wouldn't leave.

I have something for you.
A man should have a gun.

See, my mom... she hated them.

In the end, she's a
Cody. And I'm a Cody, too.

# She stares deeply #



# Locked inside me #

# Burnin' brightly #

# One they know that I cannot take #

# Waitin' for it all to begin #

# Every night now, they'll win #

# Come and meet my black hole #

# Got a big black hole #

# Got a big black hole #

# I've got a big black hole #

# I've got a big black, big black hole #

# Got a big black hole inside of me #

# Got a #

# The wolves are howlin'
right at your door #

Come on in.

# The vultures wanna
tear off some more #

# Your flesh is hanging
right off your bones #

# Might as well get juiced #

##

Come on in here. We're
gonna try a new lager.

##

# I'm gonna give you
such a piece of my mind #

Grab another beer just over here...

##

# Might as well get juiced #

##

You all right? You okay? Hey!

- You okay? Get up, get up, get up.
- Where'd the hell that guy come from?

- You good?
- We gotta go. We got to go.

Good?

Come on. Come on!

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

##

Go, go, go!

C-Cover it.

##

Ahh.

What? What about this
is so funny to you, huh?

Look, you remember when
you and Pope duct taped this

to that shopping cart when we were kids,

with the, uh, Roman candles on the side?

Sent it down Quarry Hill?

- Yeah, I do.
- Yeah, I still have a scar on my ass

when I bounced out of that.

Yeah, you got off easy, man.

I went over the cliff in that thing.

I hit the lake like cement.

##

That's it!

That's it? Oh, you gotta be shitting me.

##

You sure no one got made?

Only thing about
the job that went right.

Yeah, thanks to J.

That was quick thinking, baby.

We're all okay, by the way.

You said this thing was solid.

You said it was north of 90 grand.

It was supposed to be.

Then what the hell happened?

Now let's go eat that pie.

We risk our lives for $500.

All she can talk about is pie.

It's not even $500. That
would've been a fair split.

We pitched her a million other jobs.

But no, has to be the brewery.

- All our ideas were shit.
- Pope, now's not the time, man.

You don't think we deserve
more of an explanation?

One job goes bad, and you're whining
like a bunch of spoiled brats!

What about the jobs that
raised you all your life?

You're still living off of
Pendleton, every one of you.

That was Baz, not you.

Why don't you have another drink, Smurf?

I wonder how many cocktails she had

when she had the brilliant
idea for us to hit a brewery.

Maybe this was your
fault. Do you ever think of that?

Huh?

No deliveries by the
northeast gate ever?

Who came up with that great idea?

In the three weeks we scouted
the place, not once was it used.

Should've
scouted it for four then.

- And what about the safe?
- What about the safe?

How do you know you have the right safe?

We got the right safe!
It had 3 grand in it!

I'm so sick of this shit.
This is what she does.

She's trying to pit
us against each other

'cause she knows that
if we stick together...

What?! What? Tell me what.

Oh, come on, baby boy. I'm
all ears. I'm listening.

Guys, let's cool it out. Cool it out.

Let's just forget it, Smurf, okay?

- Come on, let's forget it.
- Yeah, I'll forget it,

'cause I have to go pick
your kid up at school.

Unless it was something
you were planning to do.

Why?

Why are we still letting
her run shit? Hmm?

We should just kick
her to the curb, man.

- We're not 12 anymore.
- Give it a rest, man, please.

All right, thanks for
being such pussies then.

What, 'cause we didn't
make empty threats?

- They're not empty threats!
- How are they not empty?

Man, you get pissed off, you
disappear for a few weeks,

and then you come crawling back.

When you're ready to
walk, you let us know.

Until then, please, shut up about it.

Let's walk. For real, let's walk.

She doesn't give a shit about any of us.

We know it. That's
the most pathetic part.

She just uses us to get what she wants.

I think that she's just upset.

You think you know her
better than we do, J?

What she's really capable of?

Guys, that job was a
shit show, no question.

We're all pissed. I get it.

But the smart thing to do right now

is to take a beat and just cool out.

- Cool out.
- While you play peacemaker with her?

Fine. Then what?

When she gets back, let's talk to her.

Let's tell her why
things have to change.

Now she knows how fed up we are.
That's good. It's sinking in.

Calmly, with respect,

we make her see she has no choice.

No. I'm done.

- That's it? You're done?
- Yeah.

I'll do jobs solo if I have
to not to put up with her shit.

- What the hell, Pope?
- Let him go. He's fine. He'll be fine.

We'll talk to Smurf later, yeah?

Let's do it.

Okay.

Let's just go surf it off, man.

All right, maybe I'll
meet you over there.

##

It's 34 grand.

Look, I just need more time...

- Time.
- Yeah.

Shit, that's a new one.

Please.

I thought I was gonna get
some more money today, but I...

Look, I'll have the rest to
you soon, okay? I promise.

I want to help you, kid,

but it's got to be the full 50,

or else... there's nothing I can do.

You got your coloring in there?

- Yes.
- Okay, good girl.

I'll be back in a minute.

Again. One more time.

Go inside and help Mommy.

Go in.

Now, go.

I still get my 10 grand?

You said the brewery paid
their illegals with cash.

Now what the hell happened, Teddy?

I was gonna ask you the same.

I said the first Thursday
of each month, not Tuesday.

Today's Tuesday.

Janine.

Where you goin'?

##

##

And they're tearing it up
here on the downhill challenge.

knee drags as he
comes around the curve.

- What are you working on?
- Oh, just physics.

Splittin' atoms and shit?

Um, no, just some
problems on acceleration.

Oh, Jesus, not again.

How many times do I have to say the flu?

_

Where's Pope?

No idea.

Said you were gonna get him here, man.

Well, if he shows, he
shows. We don't need him.

Daddy, can we go to the park?

- No, not right now.
- But you promised.

Not right now. Go in the living
room and watch cartoons, okay?

Pope all right?

Yeah, he's all right. He's all right.

He's just doing up his place. He's...

Think he's out buying
a lamp or something.

Ah. First a rug, now a lamp.

He's not careful, it won't
look like a prison cell anymore.

So, look, earlier, Smurf,
we got a bit out of line.

Jobs are risky, we get it. Shit happens.

Who's to blame shouldn't
be the point here.

We gotta talk about
changing some things.

Yeah?

Like what?

Well, first...

we want more of a say
in what jobs we do.

Mm-hmm. Well, you brought me Pendleton.

We ran with it.

Yeah, but since then, you've
shut down everything else, so...

Well, every other idea you had was crap.

Not to us, you know, but
we still had to suck it up.

You know, I think all we're
saying is we want to start

making family decisions
in... in a different way.

I mean, we're not kids
anymore. We're grown men here.

I mean, you can't expect us to be...

The boss?

- Oh, I'm the boss all right.
- More of a conversation.

Not so top down.
That's all we're saying.

Is that what you've been
doing while I was out?

Figuring out how to gang up on me?

- Preparing?
- That's not what we're doing, no.

Because if I wasn't the
boss, I have a feeling

the three of you would be in
prison right now, or worse.

You with your little ATM
job. I had to bribe a cop.

Emptied out my bank account.

And what about you
with that Hells Angels

who thought you'd do
better without a tongue?

And you I'm really proud of.

Calling your Mommy to come
save you from a meat locker

where you're tied up to a chair,
naked, covered in your own piss.

Smurf, we get it.

No, you don't get it!

'Cause if you got it,
you'd all be on your knees,

begging for my forgiveness!

It's out of respect we're
being honest with you here.

Why should you keep picking all
the jobs when we take all the risk?

And then on top of it,
you decide the split?

- That's not very fair here.
- You know, when you showed up at my house,

- you hadn't eaten a meal in a week!
- Oh, my God.

It took me three months to
get that lice out of your hair!

Yeah, and not a day goes by
you don't throw that in my face!

How long exactly do I have
to keep kissing your ass for?

- You tell me.
- The rest of your goddamn life.

Oh, the rest of my life?
Oh, here's the thing.

Who do you think's kept this
from happening the last two years?

Pope's not even here 'cause he
can't stand the sight of you.

And who's defended you like an idiot?

Who's tried to convince your own
sons... your own sons...

that you're not the cold-hearted
bitch you seem to be?

Me, Smurf.

Me!

It's a goddamn waste of time.

I'm out.

- Yeah, go ahead.
- Mm-hmm, yep.

- Me, too.
- Go.

Let's see how long you all last.

##

##

Knowing that look on her face

when she realized we were
serious was beautiful, man.

I'm gonna remember it
the rest of my life.

Oh, man. I can't believe we did it.

No more suckin' Mommy's dick!

Equal partners at last.

You really think Baz and Pope
are gonna let that happen?

No, man. They're just planning
on being the new Smurf.

Not if we call bullshit.

No, see, we're just grunts to them, man.

And the only way that's gonna
change is if we start doing

our own things, start
coming up with our own ideas.

Our own ideas, you know,

like this yacht thing
I've been thinking about.

I'm telling you, really
up our game, you know?

Yeah, man. I'm with you. Done.

You know what else we need to do?

What? Swing by Kenzo's
and get some more coke?

We need to get J involved, not Baz.

Say what you want, the kid's got balls.

He's gotta be confused
as shit right now.

It's the perfect time
to get in his head.

Well, how do we do that?

Well, for starters, we can
try being nice to the kid.

##

- Ungrateful?
- Yeah.

Was that before or after
you called her a bitch?

Before.

I told you it was pointless.

Well, it didn't help you didn't show up.

Well, trust me, it would've
gone much worse if I did.

Unless you were gonna stab her
in the face, it's hard to imagine.

Yeah.

Hey, give me two beers, please.

- One beer, yeah?
- Yeah.

- So it's now?
- It's now.

Craig and Deran aren't gonna fold?

They're not gonna fold.

We just gotta get a job together quick.

- I was thinking New Canticle.
- The... the church?

- Yeah.
- Smurf will love that.

It's a ready job. It's good to go.

- We have to re-scout it.
- So we re-scout it. Who cares?

- What about the kid?
- What about the kid?

We use him if we need him

if he's willing to piss off Grandma.

So far he's just kept his mouth shut.

- Can you blame him?
- I don't blame him.

I don't trust him yet, either.

##

We gotta throw Smurf a cut.

- I mean, not like usual, but something.
- Why?

She's got her building.
She's not gonna starve.

I wouldn't give a shit
if she did starve.

Pope, it's just smart.

Feel like you owe her
something? You pay her.

I'm not paying her.

I wish she'd have
dropped me and Julia off

at a firehouse door the day she had us.

What's going on with you guys?

Nothin'. The same as you.

I just finally see her for what she is.

Jesus, man. Just do it already.

The kid broke up with
her. Why can't you?

Just gotta keep her in check.

Sex can't be that good.

What, is she waving her
pompoms at you in bed?

What's going on? Did you fill this?

No. My card got denied.

So you've just been standing
here, not pumping gas?

I can't be fronting you
like this all the time.

What, did you forget to
pay a bill or something?

I don't know. Smurf pays for it.

Not anymore.

She just canceled this shit.

Shit, that was fast.

Yeah, that's why we need to hit
that yacht or something, soon.

I need the cash. Don't you?

Well, I do now.

- You want another one? Let's do another one.
- No.

- Can we get two more, please?
- No.

Have another one.

Don't you have to get Lena?

It's not even late.

Smurf could use a distraction
after what happened.

##

You been seeing Lucy, too?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm?

And what did she say when
you told her about Cath?

I didn't tell her about Cath.

She'd be up here with
the U-Haul in two minutes.

Are you kidding me?

It's not happening.

Friend's kind of cute on the right, no?

- Oh.
- Oh?

No, no, no.

I'm all out of antibiotics.

##

- I'll see you tomorrow. Have fun.
- Okay.

##

Excuse me. Um...

you've been staring at
me, and I'm awfully shy,

so it's... it's a bit weird for me.

Come on.

Here. You take the candy.

Get the movie ready, okay?

Damn.

Manny said you'd still look good.

You recognize me?

I'm all grown.

Now what are you doing here, Javi?

I left you 10 messages.

I figured they were from Manny.

He wants to see you,

so I'm here to take you.

To the desert?

Yeah.

Let me go put this away.

Come on, I'll give you a beer.

Some big boys to feed.

Look, Manny's not gettin'
another cent from me.

It's 5K a month, just like we agreed.

He should know that by now.

He's dying.

He'd be pissed I said it like that.

There it is.

I'm parked down the street.

Come on.

No, no, no.

You don't hop my fence and
tell me to get in a car.

He's running out of time.

You get it?

So whatever shit went on between you,

you're gonna come say goodbye.

On my own terms.

Yeah.

You're getting in the car.

No, I'm not.

Whose kid is that?

Baz's.

You gonna sing her to sleep?

How you used to sing to me?

And you won't need that gun.

##

This is your idea of ideas?

We can rob it for what? Termites?

No, we're not
here to case the place, man.

The owner just died, left
his wife holding the bag.

So?

So that's why I need cash.

I'm gonna buy this place.

Take over the lease and run it.

Come on. I'll buy you a beer. Let's go.

You can't even see the "open" sign.

##

- Hey.
- Hi, baby.

Can I still live here?

Of course, baby.

The guys, they... they
probably didn't mean

what they said earlier.

You know, they'll come
around, and I think...

Yeah, listen, from now on,

you do whatever you
think is right, okay?

You wanna run some jobs
with the boys, that's fine.

But you can't be a spy if
you want them to trust you.

Or at least, you can't
have them think you're one.

I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Oh, hey, wait, babe.

I got you a credit card.

It's on my account,

so there's no limit.

I trust you'll be responsible.

Thank you, Smurf.

Get a good night's sleep.

Hey.

Shit. You can knock.

Oh, sorry. Um...

I'm hungry. You hungry? You
want some food or something?

I don't want any food.

Just some privacy.

##

Yo!

Okay, I just had an
epic fight with my dad.

It was, like, nuclear,
my mom screaming at me

- and my stupid brother piling on.
- Wait, wait, wait. Slow down.

Guam. It's really happening.

- What?
- My texts.

Oh, yeah.

I've been, um, sleeping.

That "0-6" position in Guam

running the base's
sewage treatment plant?

He's actually gonna take it,
and he expects us all to move.

Why would you go with your dad
to run a shit factory in Guam?

I told him I'm not going.

Well, tell your dad
to eat a bag of dicks

and that Guam can kiss your ass.

Do you have any tequila or coke?

I'll take any altered
state I can get right now.

No, no. I'm... I'm... I'm still sick.

Oh. I didn't even ask.

You look okay, but did your fever break?

Yeah, but the doctor
said I'm contagious.

I don't care. I'll heat up the soup.

Seriously.

I don't want to get you sick.

Okay. Will you text me
the second you're better?

Uh-huh. Will do.

##

- Who was that?
- My nephew's girlfriend.

You want soup?

Your turn.

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, sweetie.

I told you your daddy would
come back... eventually.

Thanks for watching her.

No worries.

Should've texted you. I apologize.

It would've been nice.

Oh!

Okay, you win.

Go pick up your things.

Daddy and I will be out in a minute.

It's real this time, Smurf.

I'm not gonna be able to walk it back.

I don't remember asking you to.

I talked to Pope. We're
gonna cut you in for 10%.

Wow. 10.

You know, I haven't needed taken care of

since I was 11 years old.

Well, we're gonna do it anyway.

'Cause you always took care of me.

You bet I did.

Grandma, where's Tigey?

Tigey? I think we
left Tigey by the pool.

Let's go see.

# I gotta say goodbye #

# Don't wanna make you cry #

# Don't wanna make you cry #

# Now dry #

- Hey.
- Hey, man. What's up?

Get in the car.

We're gonna go to Baz's,
plan some stuff out.

Oh, no, man, I've got school.

You're too smart already, man.

I think your GPA will
survive a day.

Come on, don't you
wanna be a part of this?

Me and Craig think you should be.

##

Come on, come on. Let's go.

# I gotta go outside #

# 'Cause it'll make me smile #

I never went to school.

I can tell, man.

# Smile #

# Don't you go outside? #

The fancy wedding on a yacht?

Yeah, we hit it while it's
cruising out in the ocean.

Shake down the guests,
we kill the engine,

- and then we get away clean.
- How we supposed to case it?

Not to mention get away
in the middle of the ocean.

- I'm still working out the details, Pope.
- Yeah, or we can hit New Canticle

like we should've done two years ago.

Unless one camera and a fat guy
is too much security for you.

Hey, sorry. What'd I miss?

Uh, nothin'. We're
just talking about the yacht.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah. These guys wanna hit a church.

- New Canticle.
- Like the mega church?

No. Smurf said it was too close.

People from around here go there.

Smurf's not making
decisions now, remember?

About ripping off a church?

What kind of shit
karma's that's gonna be?

I think that ship's sailed, man.

Daddy.

- Daddy, do you like it?
- I love it. Go make another one.

And then we can go to the beach?

No beach. I told you,
no beach today, okay?

I say we vote.

Mega church or the yacht.

J can be the swing.

- What? J?
- No! What are you...

- No, no, no, no!
- Equal votes, equal shares.

- Isn't that the new deal?
- Not if it makes us stupid.

- J's not gonna be the tiebreaker.
- Not happening. Absolutely not.

Okay, so what? You guys are
gonna be the tiebreaker then?

Is that how it's gonna go?
And what about the split?

Is... is that not
gonna be equal anymore?

- It will be mostly, yes.
- Like if one of us takes more risk

or does a lot more of the planning,

- that person should get a bigger cut.
- Yes.

- And who decides when that is?
- We'll figure it out!

- What are you complaining about?
- What if one of us

- hits a job on our own, or two or three of us hit a job?
- Daddy?

What?! Lena, how many
times do I have to tell you?

No beach today. Not happening.

I'll... I'll... I'll take you.

I... I mean, if it's okay with your dad.

Yeah, it's fine. Go ahead.

Let's pick this up later.

You draw this? It's amazing.

J, hang back a minute.

I'll meet you in the car, okay?

Did Smurf tell you to come here?

No.

She didn't send you?

You know
that fire you set yesterday?

The boys think that was pretty smart.

You know what I think?

I think bringing cops to the scene

could've really screwed us.

I think being lookout means
you keep looking out.

When I ask you to do something,
I just want you to do it.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Next time you're about to get caught,

I'll just stay in the truck, right?

Better get home now, man.

##

Your daughter's quite the pro.
What's it been? Like, an hour?

Yeah. Is that your son?

Yeah.

He's... He's... he's good at that.

Hey, could you watch him for a sec?

I just have to change the baby.
I left the wipes in the car.

I'm just right over there.

Sure. No problem.

Thanks.

Can't be too safe, right?

##

##

##

Hey.

- Hola.
- Hi. How are you?

- Good. And you?
- Good.

##

- Thanks for coming up.
- I didn't.

I was on my way home from Solvang.

What the hell is in Solvang?

You know, this, that.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

You must be feeling lucky today, huh?

Why?

Oh, meeting here, no
hotel. What if Cath walks in

with the guy she's cheating on you with?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

It's not gonna happen.

- You don't know that.
- No.

We're done. Cath and I are done.

What?

- Yeah, we're done.
- Since when?

I didn't wanna tell you
until I knew it was for real,

- and it's for real.
- Yeah, so instead, you lie to me.

You're not exactly open about
what's going on with you either.

- It's not the same.
- It's not? How's that?

- How's it...
- You know it's not the same.

Okay. Okay.

S-so what now?

Now why don't we go back to my place,

and you can see where I live? What?

Am I just supposed to
just jump at the chance?

Why not?

##

Is Cath's stuff still at your house?

- Some of it is, yeah.
- Mm.

Well, get it out, and
then I'll think about it.

##

- No. No. No, no, no.
- Yeah, one more line, bro. I'm...

- No, you're not doing that shit. Stop it!
- Whoa!

- Are you kidding me?!
- What happened to clean up and take a shower

so we can start talking about the yacht?

- I was going to!
- You were gonna?

- Yeah!
- Okay.

You showing up late to
Baz's, all coked out,

while we're trying to
work this shit out, man...

it's not a good look.

And you wonder why
they treat us like kids!

It's 'cause you give 'em a reason to.

Get your shit together,
man! I'm sick of this!

Responsibility!

Okay!

- It's Smurf.
- What's she want?

She's making meat loaf. 7:00.

Well, better make sure
she takes the first bite.

I did it.

I told my dad to eat shit.
I'm not going anywhere.

It's good you came, man.

I sort of had to. I've got Lena.

Right.

Hey, kiddo.

Uncle Pope bought me ice cream.

That's nice. Go say hi to Grandma.

Thanks.

We really gonna do this?

Yep.

She says one goddamn
thing about anything...

At least everybody still
likes the meat loaf, huh?

You trying to rub salt on my wounds?

That it?

I think we all had a
pretty tough day yesterday.

Now this is a family, and
that's never gonna change.
