Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - Family Business - full transcript

- Hello?
- Is Angela Kane here?

I'm her parole officer and it's been
two weeks since she's checked in.

What else you hiding from us, J?

He has a bowling alley.

All that weight you're
holding at the house,

you should stash it here.

We can't hold on to
the product anymore.

It's gonna cost you.

Frankie could help us
fence some of Smurf's shit.

Last time, you stole my money
and made me look like a moron.

Well, I'm sure we can
work something out.



I wake up somewhere, I
don't know how I got there.

I don't know how long
it's been, I get confused.

I think I need to stay
put. This is home, right?

Your copies of Smurf's will.

- Who the hell is Pamela Johnson?
- Yeah, I know. Right?

She's one of Smurf's old pals.

The will says she
gets almost everything.

Pamela Johnson?

We're not used to people
taking things from us.

We take things
from other people.

You ain't gonna take a
goddamn thing from me.

But I might let you earn it.

Christ came and died so
we could have a new life.

So we don't carry
the burden of our sin.



We can be washed
clean of everything.

Made new.

Pope?

It's good to see you.
When did you get out?

Few years ago.

It's been 18 months for me.

Submerging yourself in the water is
a declaration of an internal change.

Decide today for a new life.

- Are we ready?
- Yeah.

Then let's go.

Thinking about
getting baptized today?

I don't know.

What brings you out here?

A lot of things.

Yeah, I heard about Angela.

I know she used to run with
your sister. Did you know her well?

Angela?

What about Angela?

She passed away, bro.

What?

When?

- Couple of days ago.
- What?

What happened?

- She's with our Lord and Savior now.
- What happened?

They found her in that
old squat up on Central.

Someone beat her to death.

Who?

I heard Shane might have been
there, but I don't know for sure.

I thought he was
doing ten to twenty.

Well, I guess he got out.

- Hey, I'm sorry, man.
- Shane staying with his sister?

Is he?

Don't go there, man.

Go there.

Pope.

Hello.

It's Pamela Johnson.

I'd like to drop by
the house today.

Uh, today?

I have business in La Jolla.

I'll have my family with me.

Uh, nah, today
is not... not good.

Make it good.

I don't even live there.

It's my, uh... it's my
brother and my nephew.

Let them know I'll be
there around 1 1:00.

You still there?

Yeah.

I'll bring lunch.

Listen, I don't even...

Hello.

Hi.

Hello, baby.

Hey, big boy.

What you got there? Hi.

I thought you were supposed
to be back an hour ago.

Traffic.

I missed you. You missed me?

Have you been
sleeping for Daddy?

No. He hasn't.

When was his last bottle?

Couple hours ago.

How was Reno?

Maya's fiancé is a
50-year-old rich douchebag.

But some of her
other friends are cool.

- Fifty?
- Mmm-hmm.

At least we stayed in an
insane place on the lake.

The guy's in real estate. So
we had a chef and a weed bar.

Has he pooped yet?

Yeah, twice.

First time it was about five
seconds after I changed him.

You know, Maya thinks I'd be
really good at selling real estate.

Says her fiancé could set me
up with some broker he knows

down in San Diego.

Yeah, well, you're hot.
You know how to sell shit.

Be great for you.

Big difference between
selling condos and coke.

What? Making a shit ton of money

and not having to worry
about getting busted?

I just have to worry
about some rich banker

in Corona del Mar
grabbing my ass.

Holy shit.

What?

The lady that Smurf gave
all our shit to is coming today.

Deran says we're supposed
to meet her at the house.

Now?

Yup. Now.

I don't know how you do it.

You don't look at their face.

Just focus on their tits.

Well, we got to get out of here.

Madigan watches the clock like
our check comes out of his pocket.

Sorry.

Sorry about that, sweetheart.

It's okay, Andrew.
It was an accident.

Damn it. Again.

They stiff you?

They've got enough
money to pay hookers.

They've got enough
money to tip you.

He was talking about
that at breakfast?

Cops don't talk about
anything anywhere.

Yeah, I do feel
for Jerry though.

- This one?
- Yeah.

His wife just took off and
his mom has cancer. So.

Hey, I'll cover them this time.

- No, no, it's okay.
- Yeah.

- You don't have to do that.
- Uh-uh.

Just take it.

Thank you.

- Is Pope here, yet?
- No.

I put the guns in the safe.

Do you think she's gonna
want to walk through the house?

I have no idea.

This is bullshit.

She can't just call and show up.

Tenants are supposed
to have a 24 hours' notice.

What are you talking
about, tenants?

Renters. Whatever, I don't know.

We agreed that we were
gonna go through the lawyers.

Yeah, well, I didn't
want to wait any longer.

You should've asked us
before you reached out to her.

And why is that? Because you're the
one that has to make all decisions now?

Is that it, J?

We have to make a deal, man.

What kind of deal?

Look, she wouldn't come
all the way down here

if she didn't want to
work something out.

Well, one meeting, and you
know her so well already?

You had one face to face.

But you have no idea
what she actually wants.

No. You know what I do know?

If this doesn't work out, we're
losing this goddamn house.

That's what I know.

And your asses are back
out on the street again.

Well, where's Pope?

I don't know. I called him,
he said he was coming.

That's her.

You're okay with this?

What, now you give a
shit about my opinion?

Deran.

I'd like you to meet
my son, Phoenix.

- What's up?
- My granddaughter, Lark.

- Pleasure to meet you.
- This is Deran Cody.

Janine's son.

It's my nephew, J.
And my brother, Craig.

Pleased to meet you.

Julia's boy.

That's right.

How is she?

She's dead.

I'm sorry to hear that.

- Where's Andrew?
- He'll be here a little later.

Should we wait?

Probably not.

I brought lunch.

Why don't you boys help
Phoenix carry it into my house?

This is nice.

A lot different than
the last time I saw it.

Which is when?

Before you were born, baby.

I'm gonna take a quick look
around, if you don't mind.

Why don't you all get
some plates, set the table?

I brought barbecue.

I figured you boys were used
to eating out with your mother.

- Nah, Smurf always cooked.
- Ah.

When we were younger,
she couldn't boil water.

You gonna help?

You're Phoenix
Johnson, the skater?

Was.

Used to have your deck
when I was in the eighth grade.

You used to hang out with
Tony Hawk and his crew, right?

If you still got the decks, it's
probably worth some money.

Nah, I broke it on a 12-stair
rail when I was, like, 14.

That's too bad.

What is your mom planning
to do with this place?

I don't know.

She don't tell me shit.

Is that your daughter?

My niece. My sister's kid.

I'm gonna go show 'em around.

She had good taste.

Did well for herself.

Yeah, it's a little
old-fashioned.

I would get rid of those
and open it up a little bit

for some more seating
and some big sofas.

- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah.

I think we like
it the way it is.

Should we eat?

We should get around to whatever
the hell it is you came here for.

Hope you like ribs.

Andrew.

It's Auntie Birdie.

Remember me?

You know her?

- I don't know...
- It was a long time ago.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, I remember.

I remember you.

You remember Phoenix?

He used to babysit you and
Julia when you were small.

What's up, man?

Why don't we eat?

Then we'll talk.

You think this is a good plan?

- Yes.
- Can I help?

Sure, baby. Come here.

If you hear "Jerry" or
"Madigan," you put your hand up.

All officers respond. 232 Ocean.

We need coverage on marker six.

Vandergift Road.

What do we need a cop for again,

- in the first place?
- Tut-tut-tut.

10-4.

- Car 5 2 responding.
- Thanks, Jerry.

- Jerry!
- Yes, I heard.

Can I help too?

Everyone helps, baby.

We're going to go for a ride.
I have jobs for both of you.

What do you say, Uncle
Jake? Are you going to help us?

Or are you chickenshit?

So let's talk.

I have a proposal.

Your mother did
very well for herself.

Her properties and her assets
are worth millions of dollars.

What's your proposal?

I'm prepared to let you start
earning back your mother's estate.

How?

There's a job I need done.

Knowing your mother, I suspect
you all have the skills to do it.

What's the job?

There's an individual who has
something of great value to me,

and I want you
to get it from him.

So you want us to steal it?

Mmm-hmm.

What is it?

- It's a safe.
- What's in it?

Something he would
rather not part with.

We need to know what's in it.

The less you know the better.

No, we need to know what's in
it or we're not going to do the job.

That's your decision.

This is the
opportunity I'm offering.

There won't be another.

You want this house?

Your mother's apartment,
her investments?

We can contest the will.

You don't have much of a
case. Janine was of sound mind.

No, she wasn't.

Smurf had cancer.

She was very sick.

A lot of pain meds,
drinking heavily.

- That doesn't make her incompetent.
- The law says otherwise.

If you can prove it.

We were named in the will.
We have grounds to contest.

Why don't you just tell
us what's in the safe?

Excuse me. I'm going
to use the ladies room.

Twenty years ago, I was drunk.

Got into a fight and, um...

the dude died.

The guy who owns the
company I skated for, Marion,

said he was going
to take care of it.

He did.

Kept the dude's shirt
with my blood on it.

And his.

Marion Wills?

- Demand Skate?
- Yeah.

So, what, he's trying
to blackmail you?

My grandmother.

I didn't know about it until
about eight months ago.

Some of the homies heard
Marion bragging about it.

And your mother, she has plenty
of people to do this shit for you.

Why us?

She doesn't want it
to get out in our circle,

and it's hard to
find people to trust.

What, you're
saying you trust us?

No, I'm just saying
that you're motivated.

When we do this for you,
we get Smurf's estate back.

It's a step in the
right direction.

You tried negotiating
with Marion?

You even try to
get your shit back?

He doesn't even
know that I know.

What else is in this safe?

Is there something that
we need to know about?

We have no idea.

Think about it.

If we go to court, you'll lose.

And my grandmother
is not a patient woman.

She won't ask again.

Andrew.

It's been a long time.

You still smell the same.

I was very sorry
to hear about Julia.

What happened?

She OD'd.

Must've been hard
on your mother.

To lose a child.

My mother didn't give a shit
about any of us. Especially Julia!

- Where are you going?
- I got something to do.

You heard my proposal.

You got 24 hours to
decide what you want to do.

Yes, and Phoenix will give
you all the details you need.

No...

I want you out of this house
by the end of the week.

Your choice.

So are we gonna do this?

There's no guarantee
that we get the house back.

You heard her. "It's a start."

And you heard the granddaughter.
There's no way we're gonna win in court.

We don't know that. We
should talk to the lawyer.

And what do you
want to say to her?

That we had someone
lie on the death certificate

after you shot
Smurf in the head?

I'm just saying that we don't
know this Pamela woman.

We could do this job, then
she could call the cops on us.

Why would she do that?
The house is already hers.

I say we drive up
there and scout it.

- When?
- Tomorrow.

I have to meet
Frankie with the fence.

Me and J will do it.

This is how we
get our shit back.

All right.

Remember what
you're supposed to say?

What about you?

Exactly.

Let's go.

- Hi.
- Hi there.

- Do you have your ticket?
- Yes.

Sorry, hold on. It's gotta
be here somewhere.

Uh...

Do you have the ticket?

No, darling. I gave it to you.

Hold on.

Definitely gotta be
here somewhere.

Sorry.

I think I lost it.

That's okay. What's
your room number?

We're just visiting my mother.

My grandma's in town.

The other guy parked
it. It's just over there.

Are we gonna miss the movie?

Uh, we might, baby,
if we can't get our car.

It's a red Firebird.

Go on.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

- Thanks, man.
- Oh, thank you.

Isn't that Pope?

Hey!

Hey!

Move, move!

Watch out! Get out of the way.

Whoa...

It wasn't me. I swear.

I didn't touch Angela.

I didn't do anything,
bro. What's your deal?

Leave me alone!

I swear to God, dude. Please.

You were there!

Why didn't you help her?

Huh?

Why didn't you help her?

Why didn't you help her?

Why didn't you help her?

Smurf!

Smurf!

Why didn't you help her?

Why didn't you help her?

Smurf!

Julia...

Smurf...

Why didn't you help her?

We're good. Marion's not around.

Who's actually
allowed to skate here?

Invite only. Shop's
open to the public though.

Offices are up there.

Where's the safe?

Bolted to the floor
near Marion's desk.

That room locks from the inside.

No way you can get in unless
whoever's in there, lets you in.

- Alarm systems?
- Nothing special.

- Is this place ever empty?
- That's the thing. It never is.

Wait, what do you mean, "never"?

It's a clubhouse, man.

Marion takes you in, you
sleep here, skate, smoke weed.

You see that kid right
there? He lives here.

Straight up.

All right, let's go
take a look out back.

- They do demo days here?
- Sure.

Every Saturday, bring
in the DJ, boys skate.

They drop product, pack
the place, lines out the door.

Anybody in the office?

Not usually. Second
floor's chained off.

Marion don't like random
people in and out of there.

Besides he's too busy
downstairs being the man.

How come you know so
much about this place?

I work here.

You work for the guy who's
blackmailing your mom?

It's complicated.

Before the bullshit...

Marion saw something in me.

He helped raise me.

Just wanted to do the opposite
of anything my mom said.

And I could skate.

Shit happens.

All right, we're gonna
need eyes over there,

the unit next door.

Figure out who's working there,

what time they clock
in, what time they leave.

Yeah, I could do that.

Okay, we'll be in touch.

Are you having fun, baby?

- Andrew?
- Mom.

- You're fine.
- She's scared.

She needs to toughen up.

You may be a lover
But you ain't no dancer

Look out! Helter skelter

Helter skelter

It doesn't work
if it's not tight.

Heads up.

- Cops are coming.
- Yeah, it's okay, baby, I see 'em.

Your mom's crazy.

I am not bailing you out of
jail when this doesn't work.

Yeah, you are.

Okay, kids, don't say anything.

Let me do all the talking.

Hi, officer.

How are you doing today?

Ma'am, do you know
how fast you were going?

We were just having
a little bit of fun.

You were doing 90.

Oh.

I guess a lot of fun then.

- License and registration.
- I don't have my registration.

It's borrowed from a friend.

- Who are you?
- It's my brother.

- I need your ID.
- Sure. Um, it's just in the trunk.

Can I get out?

You're not going to give me a
ticket in front of my kids, are you?

ID, please.

Hard ass.

- "Janine Cody."
- Mmm-hmm.

And you're Jerry.

Do I know you?

No. Maybe you should.

Are you sure

there's no way I can change
your mind about this, officer?

Like what?

Mmm...

I figured this might help.

Seeing as your
mother's sick and all.

How do you know about my mother?

Jerry...

I know a lot of things.

I know you're pulling
doubles to take care of her.

I know that this job
doesn't pay you enough.

Maybe we can take
care of each other.

Now... and in the future.

Hey, Frankie.
Pleasure to see you.

- It's been a while.
- Oh, I've been traveling.

And you are?

- Craig.
- He's a friend.

Please. Sit.

So how is Vladic? Hmm?
He's been asking about you.

Oh, we haven't spoken.

So what is it I can
do for you today?

I've got some jewelry.

- Not normally my thing.
- Yeah, me neither. It's my mother's.

Remember that Stella
piece I brought you last year?

- Mmm.
- That was him.

All right, give me three days,
and I'll have a number for you.

- Appreciate that.
- And I trust that if things go well,

we can continue to do business.

Hopefully, in something
a bit more substantial.

Well, I guess that
depends on how you do.

Hey, stay safe, okay?

Right, yeah. I will.

So who's Vladic?

He's someone
I'd prefer to avoid.

Why, 'cause you owe
him money or something?

Something like that.

And that's why you're squeezing
us for the extra 2% on this fence.

I've had a few things
go sideways since Rahul.

People talk. I'm
down a few contacts,

and it's harder to make
things happen that way.

- That sucks.
- Yeah.

J's the one who approached
me about the fence.

So why are you here?

I'll be okay.

You sure?

Yeah, but if you, you know, have
anything you wanna throw my way...

So it's fairly straightforward.

We pull up the building plans,

take the next couple
weeks to look over it all.

Should be pretty simple.

Well, now you're thinking
this is a good idea?

Well, we've got bills to pay.
Electric, gas, cable, phones,

- Smurf's credit cards.
- Smurf's dead.

Screw the credit card companies.

Give them to Pamela Johnson.

You want to give her another
thing to point to if we go to court?

Look, man, we need to
make some money, all right?

I need to take a piss.

- Sell your condo yet?
- Listed but no offers.

How about you lower the price?

And take a loss?

Take a loss on money
you stole from us.

The least you could do is put
it up on Airbnb or something.

Makes it harder to move.

Why don't you
rent out your place?

You're still sleeping
in your bar, right?

Or take a loan
out against the bar.

Take a loan out on the bar that
I paid for with my own money?

I didn't steal.

Why don't you take a loan
out on that bowling alley?

So what do you
think? Will be easy.

All right, fine.

How'd it go with the fence?

Seems legit. Just
gave him the jewelry

we got from the Smurf's
place on the Strand.

It's gonna take a few days.

How's Frankie?

She's fine.

Whatever, man, I'm
gonna go home to my kid.

Hey.

Hey.

How'd it go?

Um...

Pamela Johnson wants us
to do a job for, like, next week.

Why?

So that maybe we
can get our stuff back?

Shit. What's the job?

She wants us to steal a
safe from a skate shop in LA.

- Sounds easy.
- Yeah.

So it's kind of good news then.

I guess.

- Nick asleep?
- Yep.

He kept us up all night, so,
of course now he's exhausted.

Hmm.

Hey, uh, you gonna
be here for a little bit?

Yeah, why?

I just got to make a run
and get some formula.

You got a boob right there.

I took a bump to stay up today,
and I ran out of frozen breast milk.

What's the problem?

He's not supposed
to have formula.

Like all the vitamins
and good shit for his brain

is better when it
comes from you.

One or two bottles
won't kill him, Craig.

Promise.

- It's not even that. It's just...
- It's just what?

I just think your priorities are
a little messed up right now.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, it's been...

- Today kind of sucked, okay?
- Yeah.

I'll just go and
get the formula.

I want to go.

All right.

All right.

Where have you been?

I'm leaving.

What are you talking about?

I have to go.

We scouted the job that Pamela
wants us to do, and we need you.

Hey, stop!

What's going on with
you? What is this?

Whose blood is this?
Whose blood is this?

I can't stay here.

Talk to me. What's going on?

- Pope, talk to me.
- I'm forgetting things,

where I am,

I'm waking up places, I
don't know how I got there.

I don't remember what happened.

- Okay.
- I'm confused.

Okay, let's go to the doctor.

We'll talk to a doctor
and see what they say.

They picked me up
at some trailer park.

Then I go back to get my truck

and they said that I'm wandering
around, knocking on doors,

looking for Julia.

What?

I'm blacking out. I'm
looking for ghosts.

I'm hearing voices. I'm
hearing Smurf's voice!

In my head, everywhere I
look, I see her everywhere!

I can't stay.

Hey.

Listen to me.

If you want to go,
you can go. I get it.

All right?

Um, you know, you've
had our backs for so long.

Now, we have yours. Okay?

You just go and do what you need to
do and then you come back, all right?

I don't think I can come back.

Pope.

Hey, kids. Come here.

All right.

These are for you.

- For what?
- Your cut.

You helped on a job today.

When you help, you
get paid, all right?

Can we go to 7-Eleven?

Sure you can. Go on, go.

Stay together.

- You shouldn't be teaching them that.
- Why not?

It's a family business.

- It was risky.
- Fortune favors the bold, Jake.

Whoo!

What are we doing?

What do you mean?

You and me.

Why don't you
ask your wife that?

You need to relax.
Here, have some of this.

You know,

you can always go
home if you want.

- Hey, what's up?
- Pope left.

- What do you mean?
- He took off.

Said he needs some time.
Probably won't be back for a while.

What about the job?

We'll handle it.

Where are you going?

I figured with Pope gone,

I should probably spend
some more time at home.

For what?

Keep an eye on things.

Your house, you're just
going to leave that empty?

No. Maybe I'll rent it
out like you suggested.
