Animal Kingdom (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 7 - Splinter - full transcript

Pope confronts his demons with the help of a desert guru. Deran marks his territory as J handles business. Craig struggles with the demands of fatherhood and the temptations of his old life.

Got into a fight, the dude died.

The guy who owns
the company I skated for

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

So you want us to steal it?

This is for our house!

And we're gonna go through there

and we're gonna get the
safe out, like we planned.

Come on. Ah!

Shit.

We'll be giving you a memorandum

that says you agree to transfer
Smurf's estate back to us.



You're a little short on
friends in the department.

It's a new era, though.

For you guys. For us.

You get what you pay for.

Internet cafes are all the
rage in Southeast Asia.

Adrian loves them.

Somebody's been sending
money to him down there too.

It's not smart for us to
hold on to a ton of coke.

It's gonna cost you.
Back your truck in.

You looking for somebody, pal?

Max Cross.

You're gonna kick
me 30% of your take

between Pendleton
and National City.

Deal.



- Deran.
- Do I know you?

- Yeah, it's Billy.
- It's your father.

I'm Cassandra.

What are you doing here?

I was going through
a rough patch.

What do you see?

I see somebody I used to know.

Where are we?

That kid, Brian,
was scared of you.

Should I be?

Del Mar Fair's in three weeks.

- Tickets?
- No.

Too many eyes
on the ticket booths.

Concessions?

We'd have to hit, like, a
dozen to make it worth it.

- Got it?
- Yeah.

Andrew!

Give it back. Stop!

Hey, what about that
Radio Shack on Pacific?

You know, Don works there.

He knows when the
new IBMs are coming out.

Serial numbers. No fence
is gonna touch a computer.

Sounds like breakfast is ready.

Waffles?

He watched Jake
get his ass kicked?

He's fine.

Andrew.

Eat.

All right. Fine.

You don't want to eat your waffles,
Uncle Manny will eat your waffles.

Uncle, huh?

You had your chance, man.

Give that back.

Can you watch them for a bit?

What? Babysit?

Yeah, babysit.

Ray's in Tijuana and I
have to give Max his cut.

Come on. I got
shit to do, Janine.

Manny, please.

You need to relax.

I mean, when you're shooting.

Relax. Okay.

Okay.

Huh. Does it
always feel like that?

It feels different every time.

More.

Do it.

You want me to shoot you?

It's okay.

No.

I deserve it.

Andrew, no, you don't.

I deserve it.

What?

She wanted me dead.

Who?

My mom.

She wanted to kill me.

Why?

Because she knew what I was.

She knows what I am.

Do it.

Sounds like she
didn't know shit.

I'm not gonna do that.

Okay.

Swell's coming in.

Yeah. Waves woke Nick up.

Took him for a walk out by
those new condos they're building.

What, the ones those assholes
tore up all the pier parking for?

Yeah. Tamsin's brother is
working there. Gets paid in cash.

So?

So there's a couple
hundred people over there

getting paid in cash
every other Thursday.

Scope it out. Maybe we
could hit it after payday.

Yeah.

Yeah, we should hit that.

It's only six blocks
from the house.

I went to high school with
half the people working there,

but yeah, it's a good idea.

Don't be such an
asshole about it.

So what's next?

What's next?

- Has to be cash, right?
- You doing a job was a one-time thing.

Why?

Deran should never
have asked you.

What?

I didn't want you there.

So that's why you keep pushing

the me being a real
estate agent bullshit?

It's not bullshit. I think
you'd be great at it.

Oh, yeah. You should
know, property manager.

Look, it's different, okay?

Yeah. You know, even if I
wanted to be a real estate agent,

I wouldn't start making money
for what, at least another year.

- So?
- So we have bills.

And I've already told you
I'll take care of it. Jesus!

Damn it, Pope.
Where are you, man?

Everything good with
the Johnson deal?

I'm meeting the
granddaughter today.

Okay, good.

Get that shit signed.

That the shirt for
Pamela Johnson?

Yeah.

What else was in that safe?

Jewelry, chains, couple of guns.

All right. We'll fence all that.

Yeah. Or Pete could pay up.

He will.

Sometime this
year would be nice.

Hey, that cop showed up again,
the one that keeps hanging around.

What cop?

The one that picked up Pope.

What did he want?

He wants to work together.

So I asked to bring me
anything he had on us.

You didn't think you
should ask us first?

Don't you want to know if
they're working anything active?

Yeah, all right. Fine.

Yo!

Yo.

I don't think these babies are
getting enough sunlight down here.

You here about the fridge?

Man, I'm here for the rent.

Shit. Right. Can I hit
you up later this week?

No, you can't, man.

You really should check out that fridge.
It's leaking shit all over the floor.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

The power goes out,
like, once a month.

- Right.
- Cockroaches all over the place.

- Mmm-hmm. Oh, is that right?
- At least Smurf took care of shit.

Yo, man! These
things are fragile.

You owe me a grand.

Smurf and me had a deal.

Don't say her name
again. You understand?

Sit down!

I'm not joking around.

I'll kick your ass.

Well?

What?

What time did I say?

You have to forgive
Max. He gets a little bitchy

before his morning smoke.

Do I need to count this?

No.

You know, I would have
thought you would have gotten

more than six grand
from that payday lender.

You think so?

But these places, they'll really
take anything as collateral.

My buddy Eddie
was all strung out.

Wrote one of these
places a few bad checks,

all he had to offer
were his teeth.

Hey, shut up.

You need to think bigger,
you know, for the next job.

All right, we
decide what we hit.

You keep pulling in
this small town shit,

you're not gonna for long.

You... need to step it up.

You must be Janine.

Max keeps talking about this
pain-in-the-ass chick working for him.

I don't work for him.

Everybody around here does.

Yeah? What do you do?

Guerrero's finest.

What's his cut?

- Twenty percent.
- Twenty?

What's he charging you?

Thirty.

You're new to town.

Once you prove yourself,
he'll knock it down.

Hey, you surf?

You can't call yourself
a local if you don't surf.

I don't know. Looks like
a waste of time to me.

That's the point.

Come on. I'll take you out.

All right.

Let's go surfing.

Right on. I'm, uh...
I'm Billy, by the way.

Nice to meet you, Billy.

The boards are this way.

What's up?

You're done or you wanna
stay out for a few more?

No, I'm done.

Come on, man. We haven't
surfed out here in forever.

What's up?

What?

What's going on with you?
You're acting like a dick.

Is this about the job?

We got the house
back. Everything's fine.

We came out clean. Renn's fine.

Yeah. Renn's great.

Yeah, now she wants to knock off
a construction site because of you.

- This is about Renn, huh?
- No, man. It's about you.

You're always bitching
about how you want out.

- Now, you wanna make all the calls?
- You know, somebody's got to do it.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

You asked me to
stay here, so I stayed.

What more do you want me to do?

Yeah, but I didn't know how this
shit was gonna turn out when I did.

So just keep my
family out of it, man.

Oh, your family.

- Yeah.
- Right.

Your kid spends more time
with the goddamn babysitter

than he does with you.

How about you figure out how
to take care of your own family

before you start judging me
on how to take care of ours.

God damn it!

All right.

We made it.

Where are we?

You're gonna love it.

This feels amazing.

You coming in?

So good, right?

Oh, that's so good.

I used to love swimming
when I was a kid.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, I loved it.

Too much?

No.

What that guy said was right.

I am the devil.

Andrew...

the devil is just an
angel who lost his way.

God's the one who sent him away.

What did he expect?

Hola, Cam. You're
not returning my calls.

Make it quick. Andre'll be
back from lunch any minute.

Okay. I want back in. My
usual every other week.

Thought you were
on maternity leave.

Not anymore.

Slow down. I don't
have anything in here.

Okay. I'll just come by
your place later then.

I don't think so.

Why not?

All this back and forth, you
being in and out? It's not cool.

I'm in. For good.

You know, I got guys I can count on.
And your customers have moved on.

Bullshit. You know I can get
them back with a phone call.

No.

Start me off with half.

No.

And every time I get
to the end of that level,

this bot pops out of
nowhere, and snipes me.

That's why I quit
on that game, man.

Uh, you forgot something,
we usually get five Pasote.

That's not what the order says.

Well, must be something
on your end then.

It's all good. We'll,
uh, just take the usual

and settle up on the next bill.

Sorry. The rest of my
shit is for Sun of a Beach.

They opened?

Yeah.

God damn it.

Well, sucks for them.

Tommy, you go get
the rest of the Pasote.

Big Red's on the outside

gaining on Ajaxon the rails.

Come on, come on, come on!

Hey, not in the
car, not in the car.

- Come on.
- And that's the wire in. Big Red!

Shit!

Bruce, did you just see that?

Yeah, I know.

Hey, how about, uh, about
30 on Jumper for the sixth?

Yeah.

Yeah, I know. Look, I'll
pay you back. Plus 20.

I... I told you I would
get you back for that.

Look, Bruce, just put 30 on
Jumper for the sixth, okay?

Bruce. Bruce!

Damn it.

Got you now, huh?

Hey, you're good at looking
after your brother, right?

- Yeah.
- You think you can take care

of him till your mom gets back?

Is she with Max?

- Yeah.
- What if she's in trouble?

Your mom is trouble, kid.

She's fine. Okay?

Why don't you guys
go inside, lock the door

and don't open the
door for anybody. Okay?

Get in.

Is there a problem?

Shouldn't be.

Then again, you should've dropped
off that safe like my grandma asked.

So, let's just call
this due diligence.

We had to protect ourselves.

She would have kept up her end.

If you say so.

Okay.

Your grandmother needs to sign.

Oh, don't worry. I sign
everything on her behalf.

It looks like you know a
thing or two about that.

Because some of those property
titles have your signature on them.

I was Smurf's power
of attorney for a while.

Mmm.

Why you and not one of her sons?

Why you?

Phoenix doesn't
have the patience.

Neither do my uncles.

Here's the shirt.

No way was this the
only thing in that safe.

Finder's fee.

Oh, I saw it yesterday.

Hey. Hey, Craig.

- What?
- You think you could buy us some beer?

The guy at the Liquor
Barn took my fake.

Just grab something
from the left of the counter.

Chuck's got a
lazy eye. It's easy.

Come on. We just need,
like, a six-pack or two.

That we can all share.

How long you guys
been out here for?

- A few hours...
- For a six pack?

Uh...

- Yeah.
- Jesus.

Hey, come on, man.

Seriously, we need...

Ah, screw it.

Let's do a party at
the Cody place, okay?

Yo... yo, really?

If you promise not to pull
any of that weak-ass shit, sure.

Yeah. Whatever you say, man.

Look, bring whoever you want...

I'll handle the rest, okay?

Okay. All right.

Hey, guys. Party
at the Cody house.

Can you hang out
for, like, 20 minutes?

- Yeah.
- Twenty minutes, I promise.

Yeah.

Pope.

Jesus. Where... What's going
on, man? Where you been?

Just, um, drivin'... swimmin'...

All right. Well, look, we,
uh, we got the house back.

That's good, man.

Yeah. It's great, um...

You know, I was thinking
maybe when you get back,

we could, uh, tear up
the basketball court,

put in a half-pipe or
Jacuzzi or something.

What do you think?

Half-pipe?

I mean, yeah, whatever, you know,
whatever we want. Place is ours now.

Well, whatever you want.

So, uh... when are you
thinking about coming back?

Pope.

I got to go, Deran.

Dad got pissed
at me this morning.

Why?

Cassie!

- What the hell!
- Baby, you don't need to treat anybody,

anybody like anything, okay?

You didn't answer your
phone. So I pinged you.

- Liam.
- Go wait in the car.

- Liam!
- Go, wait in the car.

- Dad!
- Don't look at her. Just go.

- It's okay, baby.
- Go, go, go, go, go!

I just wanted to see him.

You want to see him? Is that what
you were doing in my pool this morning?

Trying to see him?

The neighbors saw
you. You are so screwed.

I can't wait to bring this up
next time we're in front of a judge.

- You're an asshole.
- Come on.

You're already
supposed to be there.

- Let's go.
- Liam, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

Screw you!

He's my son, too!

See, Janine?
Surfing ain't so bad.

You know, you think this
van isn't built for a good time,

but somehow when shit goes down,

it always offers you a hand
hold right when you need it.

God, do you ever stop talking?

Why would I?

You really live in here?

Yep.

Taking her for a run
down to Mexico next week.

You should come.

I can't.

Why not?

Because I got shit to do.

All work, no play...

I gotta go.

So soon?

What?

You wanna give me
another surfing lesson?

Well... practice makes perfect.

I'll see you later.

I hope so.

What's going on?

Well, we got the house back.
Might as well enjoy it, right?

No, thank you.

Take it.

I'm fine.

Is Deran coming over?

Who gives a shit.

- What're you doing?
- Clearing Deran's shit out of here.

- Hey.
- Who're you?

You keeping my shit in there?

Your shit?

Get up.

What's your problem?

My clients don't appreciate
coming down here to pick up.

- You're Renn?
- Get up.

- Oh, shit!
- Damn, dude!

Bitch!

Get up!

Back up.

Hey, you Deran?

What's up?

Yo. Parker Freeman.
From Sun of a Beach.

Cool spot.

I think there may have been
some confusion with my liquor order.

You ended up with
a few of our boxes.

Yeah, there's no
confusion. Those are ours.

I get it. Ben's afraid of you.

But I... I don't know you
and I don't really care.

I just want my shit back.

I don't know what to tell you.

I got nothing to give you.

If it's about money, I'm down to
throw you some cash for them.

Looks like you could use it.

- That's funny.
- Yeah.

Yeah. I don't need your money.

Cool. I'll just take
my booze back.

Maybe I'll start with this.

Get out of my bar.

See you around.

What was that about?

Nothing. How did the thing go?

Good. That's it.

Great. Stash this in
the safe at the house.

Uh, I was thinking we could
keep it here for a couple of days.

- House is a little crazy right now.
- What's going on?

Craig.

- Jesus. All right.
- You know what's up with him?

Ah, I don't know.

You were right.

What we did for
Pamela. It worked.

I'm glad we got the house back.

You want a drink or something?

I can't. I've got some stuff
to do before I meet Pete.

I think he's got a buyer.

Haven't seen you around.

- I've been busy.
- Busy?

- Uh-huh.
- Sounds boring.

Yeah, well, so is running low.

I'll see what I can get.

Yo. Want some of this?

No, I'm good, dude.

- No.
- You?

No, I'm good, man.

This is a bust.

Yo, let's go.

Yo, party's moving. Let's go.

Julia? Andrew?

Guys, you don't clean up
after yourselves anymore?

Andrew! Julia! I'm home.

Guys?

Andrew? Julia?

Hey, have you seen my kids?

Have you seen my kids?

I know you said you
didn't want anything,

but I couldn't let you
go empty-handed.

Is turkey okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Joshua Tree is 30 minutes away.

You should stop
on your way east.

So... that kid...

He's your son?

Yeah. Yeah.

And the guy?

Liam, my ex.

So, like...

Like, why isn't
your kid with you?

Punishment.

For the divorce.

So why did you even
let him... take him?

Let him take him?

Is that... that what
you think I'm doing?

- No, no. I didn't mean...
- Yeah, because I have.

I have tried everything
that I could possibly try.

- Wait...
- Paid everything I could possibly pay.

I would do anything
to have Henry back.

When I'm not with him, it's
like a part of me is missing.

Why am I even telling you
this? I don't even know you.

God.

Last night was fun and
thank you for the ride,

- but you should go.
- Hey.

Listen...

I... I didn't mean it like...

No, you don't get
it! You don't get it.

Please, just go.

Gotta be one of the slowest
nights we've ever had.

I can't believe people wanna go

and drink at a place
called Sun of a Beach.

Their drinks are cheap.

They're doing two for ones every
day of the week to bring in business.

That's it?

What do you mean?

I don't know. I just
can't imagine customers

taking off over some
happy hour bullshit.

It just doesn't
make sense to me.

What's up?

People shit talking.

You know... it'll blow over.

No, I don't know. What're
they talking about?

It's stupid, dude, it
doesn't even make sense.

Tommy, what're
they talking about?

People are saying that you and
your brothers "took care" of Adrian.

I mean, I know you said he's
been on that boat trip, man, but...

But what?

I don't know, he's just
been gone a while now.

Things feel different since
your mom's been gone.

Hey, have you seen two kids?

- What did they look like?
- A boy and a girl.

They have dark
hair, seven years old.

I'm sorry, I... I haven't.

Do you need help?

- Should we call the police?
- No, no, no. It's fine.

Hey! Hey! Excuse me. Have you...

Have you ladies seen
two kids, brown hair? No?

Andrew? Julia?

Yo. Yo, Craig. What're we doing?

You're about to find out, man.

What're you gonna do?

You're gonna do
something. No, no, no.

Hey, hey. You're gonna fall.

- Craig!
- What are you doing, man?

- Go on, you pussies.
- Dude.

Hey, you gonna go up there?
Are you gonna get up there, buddy?

Dude, no, no. It's
not that deep, man.

I don't think that's
a good idea, dude.

Shit's changed, man.

I used to do this shit with
my brothers all the time.

Yo, come on up, man.

Shit! Cops! Hey, hey, it's cops.

Hey. Craig, Craig. Come on.

- No.
- Come on, let's go!

- Come on.
- Yo! Hey, where're you going?

Come down.

- Come down and leave the pier.
- Damn.

Stay where you are.

Stay where you are.

Do not jump!

- Mom!
- Jesus Christ!

Where the hell were you?

I was so worried.

Get up.

What are you doing here?

Andrew called me.

Manny was supposed
to be watching them.

Well, he left.

He went out looking
for you and got lost.

Called me from a payphone.

Andrew wanted to find you.

He's worried the man
was gonna hurt you.

What man?

The man who beat up Uncle Jake.

Max?

Okay. Hey.

You guys don't have to
worry about him, okay?

Why don't you guys
get ready for bed?

I don't wanna go to bed.

- Come on. You can take your pizza. Here.
- Good night.

- There you go. Come here.
- Good night, baby.

Good night, Andrew. Bye, baby.

He shouldn't have called you.

But I'm here now, so...

So, you can go.

Janine.

I really don't want
a lecture right now.

I'm not gonna give you one.

Shit happens. It's
part of being a mom.

Come on.

You need this more than I do.

A little heavy on the vodka.

You complaining?

So, Manny just left them?

Yeah, looks that way.

I hate to be his ass
when you see him again.

Things come up, you
can always call me.

Shivering souls

Come in from the cold

With nothing to trade

For your silver and gold

But I've got a bad

Bad feeling

I've got a bad

Bad feeling

About this

About this

Curse the spire of lions

And curse these wicked winds

My heart's been hypnotized

And my body is paper thin...

Where's Pete?

Trying to pull some shit on me?

Okay. What's... what's going on?

I thought you were just too
pussy to hold the coke yourself.

Then some federale
shows up at my door today,

and I start putting
two and two together.

Wait. Put what together? What...

That you were
trying to set me up.

Wait a minute. I don't know what
you're talking about. Who showed up?

What's going on?

DEA.

Livengood.

Oh, shit.

Well, he find it?

No. And he
won't. I got rid of it.

- What?
- Yeah. It's gone.

I'm not going to federal
prison for your bullshit.

No, no, you could've called me.
You could've told me about this.

You could've reached
out. I could've moved...

You really want to tell me what I
could and couldn't do right now?

Hey, listen, it's not my fault
you have heat on you right now.

That's where you're wrong, bro.

'Cause the heat's on you.

- What're you talking about?
- Yeah.

The only thing this guy
seemed to care about was Deran.
