Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 11 - Trust the Process - full transcript

J and Pope take a road trip to clean up the aftermath of some family business that went sideways; Deran and Craig scout a new mark with the help of Frankie.

You doing a job
was a one-time thing.

This is about me
making my own money.

Then go get a real
job like real people.

You've always known who I am.

Yeah, but I didn't know
you'd also be a shitty mother.

I got an idea for a job.

You know what a hawala is?

- No.
- It's like an underground Western Union.

So, have you heard of these guys

where you got to move
money without people knowing.

What you're talking about...



it's dangerous.

Hey!

Your mom owes Uncle Max money...

but she's not taking
Uncle Max very seriously,

so go tell your
mom that Max said...

time's up.

Don't worry.

That man is never
gonna bother us again.

Excuse me. What's the deal here?

- You're the owner?
- Yeah.

We got orders to
confiscate your inventory.

What the hell is this about?

Well, this is your last chance
to save your pathetic ass.

I made a phone call,
your bar got raided.



Another call next
week, it's your house.

I'm the one who's
gonna be haunting...

Dude never shuts up!

And the gun's a burner.

Think I'll keep it
safe... just in case.

Jesus Christ.

I can't believe this.

Yeah, we got to throw him
in a dumpster somewhere.

He has the Liquor Board
raid my place this morning,

he's dead by tonight?

Feds are gonna be on my
ass before the sun comes up.

Well then, we'll bury
him in the desert.

They'll never find him there.

No, dead or missing,
it doesn't matter.

I'm gonna be cuffed and interrogated at
the Federal Center by tomorrow morning.

Then you just don't say shit.

Chadwick's got the gun, man.

It doesn't matter. We have
the bullet that killed him.

He can't connect that gun to
anything without admitting he was here

What are you talking about? There's
blood, DNA, and shit all over the wall.

We bleach.

Get the mops.

You know what? Chadwick can
make up any bullshit story he wants!

He's a cop. Anybody's
gonna believe him!

Not gonna happen.

Pope, get his car.

We double wrap him. Tight.

We bleach everything.

The walls, the floor,
the ceiling, everything.

Let's go!

It's an older model. It
doesn't have government tags.

It's his personal car.

Hopefully, no GPS.

His phone has GPS.
I have his phone.

Turn it off and give it to me.

Are there, uh... Are
there cameras in the alley?

No.

There's cameras at the restaurant on
the corner of Wisconsin and Cleveland

they'd have seen him coming in.

All right, so we need
to get rid of his car.

We can't be seen driving it.

Mean you want a truck?

Yeah, how fast can you do that?

This time of night? Pretty fast.

You got one of those
American doctors in Mexico?

Yeah.

Good. We're gonna need him.

We're good.

- You get...
- No, he's...

Oh, shit. His phone
needs to be on.

- Right.
- And he needs to be using it.

That way, he's still alive
when he leaves here.

I don't have his passcode.

We get his face out,
use the face recognition.

Yeah, well, don't his eyes
need to be open for that?

All right, we'll open
his eyes. Get them out...

I don't think it
works like that, man.

- Is that thumb recognition?
- Yeah.

- Okay, we'll get his hand out.
- Get his hand.

All right.

All right, I'll just
keep it unlocked.

Good.

He's got mail.

All right, well, respond.
Something generic.

- Quickly.
- Okay, here you go.

All right, let's go. Close it.

- We meet back at the spot.
- Yeah, yeah.

Stay off Cleveland, all right?

The cameras cannot see
your car there, all right?

And burn that shirt.
It's got blood all over it.

- Yeah.
- We got this. Let's go.

Come on!

He's got everybody.

You got the money?

Yeah. And two burners.

Phone's off.

You can't trust the cops, man.

Shit happens, all right?

There's a spot in
San Ysidro, off Exit 29.

Should be about an hour away.

What about Chadwick?

Well, if things go right,

shooting shouldn't
be tied to us or the bar.

Then we tell Chadwick
we don't need him anymore.

There's no upside
in offing a cop, Pope.

Sometimes things
have to be done.

Doesn't matter who it is.

Chadwick's the only one
who knows anything, man.

If he talks,

he'd be hanging himself.

The guy's crazy.

Who knows what he's gonna say?

If the feds are onto
him, they're on us.

He's the one that went
rogue and shot the dude.

J and Pope get this done,

and Chadwick walks as long
as he keeps his mouth shut.

And we'll see if J's plan works.

J's plan is gonna
work, man, okay?

- So just relax.
- Don't tell me to relax, okay?

- I'm the one tied to all this shit.
- But we were all there, man, all right?

- All of us. It wasn't just you.
- Livengood would still be alive.

We are a family and we'll stick
together so get that shit out of your head.

Goddamn it!

Any trouble crossing the border?

No.

You got the money?

You have his car, too?

It's in there.

He's in the trunk.

Give me the keys. Both vehicles.

We need to make
it look drug related.

Uh... Something on the border.

Street gang, cartel
affiliated, that kind of thing.

Like a deal gone bad?

More like a hit.

So who is it?

Does that matter?

Yes.

He's DEA.

Adiós.

- No, no, no, wait, wait.
- Hold on.

Hey.

Nobody you do business
with wants ten grand?

Nobody wants that
kind of attention.

How about 20 grand?

Nobody? You sure about this?

Come on.

What's it gonna take?

Twenty-five.

And you're gonna have
a lot more driving to do.

There's a house near Otay
Mesa on this side of the border.

That's where they'll meet you.

Thanks for meeting me.

Yeah, well, it's nice.
They like to play together.

Baz is obsessed
with those swings.

Baz, Jesus Christ!

You're gonna break your neck!

Come on!

- Watch this, Baz.
- He's like a wild animal.

Yeah.

You got lucky that
Andrew's so calm.

So, about Max...

He comes in around 4:00.

Most days.

And he'll have a couple drinks.

Then he picks a girl and
he goes to the VIP room.

You think you can get me
into one of those rooms?

- What do you mean?
- I mean...

have him come in,
let him have his drink.

And then you just tell him that
Sinnamon or Jade or whoever

- is waiting for him in the VIP room.
- No, he chooses who he wants.

He'll like to be chosen.

Look, it's 1,500
up front... for you.

No, I got a certain lane

that I try to stay in.

- You know what I mean?
- I'm just doing this to protect my kids.

That's all. Same
as anyone would do.

'Sup?

J and Pope still not back?

They called last night, it's
gonna take a little longer.

What you doin' here?

Who's that?

- Is that Frankie?
- Yeah, I told her to come by.

She found a hawala, figured
you might want to hear.

Gotta be today?

Man, if you want to sit around

and worry about shit that
we can't control, go ahead.

But I'm gonna try and
bring some more work in.

Morning.

Bad time?

No.

What's up?

I got a guy.

Does money transfers for
big players from here to LA,

up to 250 each transaction.

Well, he is probably sitting
on a lot more than that.

How much more?

At least four, five times that.

These guys take money
in and they give it out.

If he can move a quarter of
a million on any given day,

he's got to be keeping
more than that somewhere.

Yeah, safe, building,
truck, something.

Like robbing a bank.

Man, we just got to find
out where his bank is.

If you want to find out where he
keeps his, I can meet with him today.

We can check out the
location, you can follow me.

Today's not gonna work.

- Okay, when?
- We'll give you a call.

Hey, I'll talk to him.

I need this, too.
Sooner the better.

I guess this is it.

Uh-huh.

Anybody looking for our guy yet?

No, we're good.

Let's do this.

The doctor sent you?

No.

In the back.

He wants us to get it.

Look, I'm not gonna come
looking for you, Renn, okay?

I just want to know
where you are. That's all.

Call me back.

Hey, if you don't want to
check out this hawala, I will.

I can't just stew in
this shit all day, man.

- Okay?
- I'm in.

What?

I'm in.

All right.

You know, if this shit with
Livengood goes sideways,

I think it'd be smart to have some
cash to get the hell out of here.

All right.

Let's do it.

Figure out the location
of Frankie's meet.

If it looks like a place where they'd
be holding the bank, then we hit it.

Well, how do we find
the bank in the building?

Tracking device.

Put it in the cash that
Frankie gives him to launder.

If they hear a beeping transmitter
in the stack, we're burned.

I know.

Give her a call.

Let's do this.

All right.

What?

They want us to
cut off his hand.

Okay.

Why?

Must be a calling card.

It sells the story.

Well, you better get on it.

What about the car?

Seven miles further down the road.
You'll be crossing into Indian lands.

Leave his car on the side.

Hand on the passenger seat.

Why there?

Well, they have their
own police, right?

No DEA or FBI
without their permission.

Their police will find
it when we tell 'em to.

I guess they're gonna
drag him under the border.

Meeting's this afternoon.

It's as late as I could get.

Where's the location?

Tenth and Mesa.

Two story building.

How much are you
thinking about sending?

Thirty.

I worked it out with a
friend I trust in Costa Rica.

You have that?

We need to talk
about something first.

- We'll figure out a finder's fee.
- No.

No fee.

I need to be cut in.

How much?

Half.

You know, we're talking
about a million dollars in cash.

Maybe even more, right?

This guy gets robbed,

he's going to start looking
at new faces, mine first.

When that bridge
burns, I need to be gone.

For good.

The 30 is damn near
all the money I have.

The exchange goes
bad, I get caught,

I'm out all my
money. It's a lot of risk.

We're risking our asses
actually doing the job.

Last I heard, prison
isn't that great.

Fair compensation.

That's all I'm asking for.

Okay.

All right, we'll
split it up equally.

How many?

With you, five.

- You ready, baby?
- Yeah.

Let's have some real fun.

- You will.
- Yeah.

Shit.

Everything I've got, down
to what I can fit in a purse.

And you're gonna give it to
some rando in Costa Rica.

He's not a rando.

You're really going
to stay down there?

Dollar goes far in
that part of the world.

You'll get bored.

- Come back.
- No, I'm done.

I was looking for a way out.

And then you showed up.

Better safe, right?

Yeah.

It's his daughter. He's supposed to
be picking her up from soccer practice.

He's late.

Is that the thing people
use to find their wallets?

This is, yeah. But this is LBS.

Well, GPS can locate a building,

but if you want to know
what room inside that building,

the LBS can pinpoint a
location within 40 feet.

Here I was thinking
that J is the tech nerd.

I have a regular.

Comes into my bar, MacGyvering
this kind of shit all the time.

Sent me a couple of
YouTube clips and I...

I figured the rest
out on my own.

Where's Frankie?

She'll be back. She's
just getting changed.

Changed?

Why's she getting changed?

Yeah, I don't know,
man. It's what she does.

Well, she's really going to go
and do that Central America thing.

You know, it could
be us one day.

Have you heard from them?

No.

It's kind of our fault,
what happened to Frankie.

With what Smurf did and all.

I'll tell you what.

We're definitely giving her
one hell of a going away present.

Cool.

Not bad, man.

Not bad? It's a
goddamn work of art.

Thanks, baby.

- Come see me again?
- Anytime.

Where's Linda?

I just saw her leaving
when I was coming in.

Hey!

Hey! What the hell?

- You said he was gonna be here.
- He was. He left.

You stole money from me.

- I did what you asked me to do, Janine.
- You understand that?

- What did you do?
- He... He knew something was up.

What did you tell him?

Look, I got kids to protect too.

What did you tell him?

Jesus, what is this
place? Teamsters?

Longshoreman.

Buddy I used to hang
with, his dad got him in.

This is one with the tracking device
on it, it's tucked inside the band.

You should get
plenty of intel inside.

Entrances, exits,
cameras, all that shit.

We'll check the outside
while you're in there.

Okay.

Security.

Yeah, if I had a million dollars in
a union hall, I'd have security too.

Welcome to Local 4904.

- You have an appointment?
- Yes.

- Who are you here to see?
- The wizard.

- Any weapons?
- No.

Trying to be respectful, Miss.

I got hams for hands.

Gonna leave that here.

You're good.

I'll let him know you're
here. Have a seat.

Thanks.

Yeah, sounds good.

Pope and J are
on their way back.

- They just gotta dump the truck.
- Did it go well?

I don't know.

Yeah, she's not moving.

She's still at the front. I'm guessing
the bank is nowhere near the front door.

Okay, he'll see you.

Look the freeway entrance is only
half a mile. Two, three turns max.

We can be out of here fast.

You think you can make a distraction
up front, get in through the back?

Tactical gear? Big guns to
scare the shit out of them.

That means we got to figure out
how big this safe is we're talking about.

We should prepare for the worst.

Bring equipment.

I mean, hell, we could
hit this tomorrow, man.

Shit, she's on the move.

I know.

Old bald guy in the
back of a union hall.

Security looks like they're
going to let you in to Altamont.

I've learned not to
judge a book by its cover.

I've learned not to judge my
clients. Keeps me in business.

Sit.

Thirty thousand to Costa Rico.

- No offense.
- None taken.

My Costa Rica guy is in
San José. Is that okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

Think of a password.

It can be anything.

I share it with my guy.

You share it with your
recipient. The code matches,

they pick up the money,
minus my five percent.

Freedom.

"Freedom" it is.

How soon?

Should be processed
later this evening.

Excellent.

The lads will show you out.

Thanks.

You think maybe we should
pick up the pace a little?

We're far enough away.

You watch TV?

Uh... No, not really.

I watched a lot, you
know, when I was a kid.

Nature shows mostly,
they kind of calm me down.

We were...

never really kids.

Me and your mom.

But you were, for
a while anyway.

You and me, we're
not the same, J.

Not like that.

Hey, look, everybody,
Mommy's home.

- I didn't want to leave them.
- Bree, it's fine.

Cousin Max always
shows up unannounced.

Really, it's fine.
Thank you, Bree.

Janine, you want to
come inside and talk?

Yeah. Yeah, let's... Let's talk.

Why don't you guys play outside?

No. No, no. I think...

I think they should see this.

Max, no.

Yeah.

Come on, we're
just going to talk.

All right, let's... Let's go
in. Let's watch some TV.

Watch TV. Sit down, guys.

Sit down. Here.

You wanna try and tell me
why you're setting me up?

I just wanted to talk.

Lying's just gonna
make this worse.

No, really, I've been thinking about
some stuff, you know, high level shit.

And I wanted to
talk about how...

How we could make
some more money.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Me and you?

Mm-hmm.

- There you go.
- Yeah.

Wasn't so tough, eh?

Yeah.

Hey.

- If you lie to me again...
- Don't do this in front of my kids.

Lie to me again. Come on.
One more is all I need. Come on.

Listen...

were you going to kill me?

Is that what you
were gonna do? Huh?

Were you trying to kill me?

How does that feel?

What the hell is this?

That is really not smart.

- Wanna see something?
- No.

Okay, not in front of my kids.

No.

Ow!

What'd you do that for?

God.

You little shit!

You shot me?

Easy.

Look away!

You...

Hey, come here. Come here.

Come here, come here.

It's okay. It's okay. Oh, God.

It's okay.

His office was right about here.

There was an adjoining door.

Were those two dudes the
only security at the door?

Yeah, them and Wyatt were the
only three people in the building

as far as I can tell.

Okay, so they only do their
business when the place is closed.

Wyatt?

I spotted his business card on
his desk. He's not very discreet.

All right, so we get to him first and
he could bring us to the cash, yeah?

Yeah, sounds good.

The boys are back from war.

- Frankie.
- We're into the hawala thing.

Frankie found us a big
fish not far from here.

Good.

I should go home.

We can finish up tomorrow.

It's her contacts.

Her cash.

Figured she's in on the
job with us, if that's all right.

Yeah, all good.

Livengood?

We had to swing the doc
an extra 15K, but it's handled.

They just need to find him now.

You okay?

I changed his license
plate to a dummy.

Bullshit papers are in
the glove compartment.

We'll make sure that
nobody can find him.

Did the neighbors hear anything?

Bree is the closest.
I'll talk to her.

All right. Let's go.

I should come.

Nah, stay with your kids.

Look it was self-defense.

It's not like you planned it.

I can come back.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Jesus Christ.

- And then she's gone?
- That's what she says.

It's a big haul. Million or so.

Guy works out of
a union building.

Not totally sure
where the cash is, but

figure we all go back, take a
look, before we finalize a plan?

How do we find out
where the money is?

Put a little mini GPS tracking device
in the cash that Frankie gave him.

- Oh, shit.
- What?

The money is not at
the Union Hall anymore.

- It's on the move.
- What?

Says it's about ten miles
from here, but it's moving.

Okay. Well then
wait for it to land.

No, no, we follow it.

Find out how it's being
moved and where it's going.

Andrew.

Hey, get ready for the best chili
you've ever had in ten minutes.

Are you okay?

Here.

That good, huh?

Did you close your eyes
when I asked you to?

Why not?

You didn't close yours.

He was a bad man, right?

Yeah, baby.

Yes, he was.

You did good. Okay?

Hey.

Don't lose that.

How far behind it were we?

About a mile.

I think it turned
down another road.

Is it still stopped?

Yeah.

It's been still for a
minute now. This way.

Jesus.

It's huge.

Can you tell where the
signal's coming from?

Yeah, south side of the port.

Well, dude's a longshoreman.

Makes sense. Secure.

These places are like Pendleton.

Worse.

It's easier to break
into Fort Knox.

Tons of security since 9/11.

- Yeah, Customs, Coast Guard, cops.
- Yeah, we'll figure it out.

We make a plan and we follow
it. That's what we do, right?

Let's get to work.
