Bad Blood (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Declan's Choice - full transcript

Previously, on Bad Blood...

All of you are now gonna
buy your drugs from me.

I've been running contraband
for over a decade.

I'm wondering if you're up for moving
something other than cigarettes?

- Who's that?
- The 'Ndrangheta bosses.

I have a CI who told
me about the meeting.

- I wanna know about the newcomers.
- They're cousins from Calabria.

Teresa and Christian Langana.

We want you to be
our partner in Montreal.

I don't work for anyone. Ever.

- Get down!
- We need to find Declan.



We need to end this.

Those twins kidnapped my nephew.
I want Reggie back alive.

I have 30 seconds. You gotta help me.

- My son's been kidnapped.
- What?

You think I'm gonna forget this?

You should! This was me
and you fixing their mess.

They're charging him with
2nd-degree murder.

A ball of fentanyl this size
is worth $20 million.

We wanna talk to you
about the fentanyl business.

I want you to get
distribution up and running.

Wes!

I wanna destroy those bastards!

Every last one of them.

This detective told me if I didn't
tell her stuff, she would tell you.



I know these people
and their love of family.

The only way we win is to get
them to rip themselves apart.

Val! What... What did you do?

I had no choice.
It had to be done, Enzo.

- How's the purity?
- 90%, as always.

For both of our businesses,

we want you to take care of Declan.

Deal.

What's up, Bobby?

I now own the protection
contract on Nats.

You're gonna walk right into the RCMP

and turn on Teresa and Christian.

My brother's turning rat.

There's nothing I can do to stop him.

Teresa Langana.

With Enzo's testimony, we
have enough to bring her in.

Police!

I found Declan. And his girlfriend too.

- What do you want me to do?
- Wait for me.

You two, there.

You two, go there.

Put the gun down!

If you wanna see your
friends, you'll put it down.

I've been wanting to bring you
here ever since you got out.

Hey, little sis!

I brought your boy.

When your mama died,

I didn't have 2 nickels to rub together.

I stole a car so I could pay
for the plot and the headstone.

I knew the guy whose car it was,
so I eventually paid him back.

I didn't want that
karma hanging over her.

- Do you come here a lot?
- Ah...

You know, when I can.

Never as much as I'd like to.

Reggie, I bought the
plot next to your mom.

It's for me, when my time comes.

It's all paid for.

You just have to
make arrangements, okay?

Okay.

Do you mind if we stay here awhile?

No. As long as you want.

I ate breakfast already, remember?

We're not here to eat.

I bought this place for you.

This diner.

It's yours now.

It was run by an
unsavoury element before,

but they'll be gone soon.

You start from scratch,
hire whoever you want.

- You bought me a restaurant?
- Yeah.

You can make your breakfast
day and night, 7 days a week.

I... I don't know anything
about running a business!

Like, you gotta pay taxes
and do the books and stuff.

You'll learn. I got a guy
who can help you with that.

I got guys for everybody.

This is yours now, Reggie.

Okay! Uh...

I got that 15 grand still,
that you gave to me.

- All of it?
- Yeah, I got it.

So I'm gonna give that back to you,

and then whatever else, I will pay
it back, as I can, with interest!

I'm not gonna put
a vig on my own nephew.

- This is for you, Reggie!
- No, I want to, though.

I wanna pay it,
so that it's really mine.

I... I wanna sign papers,
the whole thing,

and I'm not gonna take it,
unless we're doing it right.

I don't put my name on any
piece of paper. But I hear you.

- Come on!
- Yeah.

I can't believe this!

Thank you!

Oh my God! Oh my God!

Do you wanna run it with me?

I... No, it's not my thing.
But thank you!

Come on, man!
It's like... that's a fresh start!

You and me. A new life, right?

I want you to be around for a long time.

Aw, come on! Don't worry!
I'm not going anywhere.

All right, I wanna
buy you breakfast then, okay?

- Yeah?
- Really?

- Buy you breakfast?
- Sure!

The other thing...

All I'm gonna do:
build-it-yourself omelettes.

Choices paralyze people, Reggie, right?

You gotta have a few specialized items.

- Small menu.
- Right?

Yeah, I don't want to paralyze people.

Hey...

Hey! Declan bought me a diner!

I heard. Congratulations!

I'm gonna name an omelette after you.

- Nice!
- The Rose.

- I'm honoured.
- Get outta here!

It's good, right?

It's very good! Get outta here!

- Morning!
- Morning!

How you feeling?

Better than I should.

Got that shipment today.

Yeah. Twix and the boys are on it.

You sure about doing
this in broad daylight?

No, I just thought I'd flip a coin

and move in 20 keys of cocaine.

No, the water cops,
they gave me their schedule,

and they're only doing night
sweeps this week, so...

- I know what I'm doing.
- I know you do.

And this is my last run.

I know the war's over,

but someone else is just
gonna come along,

and it's just gonna
start all over again.

And I got into this to
take care of my family,

and I can't do that
if I'm dead or in jail.

I've already lost someone.

And I thought I could
do this, but I can't.

Is that gonna be a problem?

Well, you... You know who you are.

I respect that more than anything.

Anything.

This is Teresa Langana.

She's the queen.

Her brother Christian's already dead.

Her photo's been sent to all airports

and border crossings across the country.

This is who we want.

Reach out to all
your CIs, your contacts,

your mother, if she can help.

Thank you!

Where are we with Nats's transfer?

Just waiting on the paperwork,

but he should be getting
in a van any minute.

And the deal with Enzo's lawyer?
Is that all drawn up?

Yeah. Everything's ready.
Why so edgy? We got them.

Declan handed us what we do have.

A win's a win, right?

You're the one that told me that.

All anyone cares about is
the net result.

Yeah, well...

maybe I was wrong.

Everything good?

We're ready to go.
Be back in a few hours.

My driver's right on schedule.
Keep your eyes open.

Got it, bro! I'm your guy!

All right. See you back here.

"Bro"?

My brother has a bit of a hero-worship
thing going with you.

All right. Hang on.

Yeah?

- You got the shipment?
- I said I would.

- It's coming.
- Good.

We have to meet somewhere else.

The cops have been around our spots.

I'll send you the coordinates.

All good.

Declan's delivering a new
shipment to us this afternoon.

My guys will be waiting to take him out.

When Declan arrives, do not hesitate.

I want him dead.

I know how it's done.

And what about Nats and Enzo? Hmm?

You said you would take care of that.

It's all arranged.

By the end of the day,
they'll both be gone.

Good.

How did this happen?

I don't believe this!

What's wrong?

Nats is dead.

He was stabbed, just as they
were about to transfer him.

- Who did it?
- They don't know.

If we tell Enzo, he's gonna walk.

I know!

It's 5 more minutes,

and they would've called
saying he's on the road.

That would've been good enough
to get Enzo to sign the papers.

Yeah, but he's not. He's dead.

Nellie, it's a matter of minutes.
You gonna let him walk for that?

You really gonna blow this whole case
on a matter of 5 minutes?

Well, is my son safe?

Is my son safe?

Your son is currently on
his way to the country club

as we speak.

- So, he's safe.
- Yes.

Okay. Okay, good.

First things first.

On the record, hand to God,

my nephew Luca has had

no dealings in our business whatsoever.

You're not to touch him. Total immunity.

Don't even send him a text.

We already agreed to that.

It's in the deal.

Once you sign,

Luca is no longer a person of
interest in any of your affairs.

Also, your son cannot
be charged with anything

other than the murder charge

he's currently waiting on trial for.

Thank you.

- Sign here.
- Mm-hmm...

- And here
- Okay.

Where do you want me to start?

- Teresa and Christian.
- Ha! My pleasure!

- A little one on one?
- No.

Come on! Friendly competition,
a little exercise...

I don't got the right shoes. No.

Where you going after this?

I'll get a new spot in town.

I don't want to overstep or anything,

but I kind of feel like you should stay.

I paid for my time here, Reggie.

I don't need to lay low anymore.

I know.

I still think you should stay.

- Yeah?
- Nats is dead.

- Who did it?
- I don't know.

Well, Teresa's behind it,

so find out who she's got
working on the inside.

Yeah. Hey, I'm doing the best I can.

Doing what you can?

I hand-picked you
from the academy, all right?

I taught you everything,
so figure it out.

So figure it out!

What about Teresa? Any leads?

Well, they sent her picture
out to every cop in 3 provinces.

If we haven't found her yet,
she's probably gone.

Right. Listen...

If they got to Nats,
they're gonna get to Enzo too.

Oh, we got him stashed
in a motel. He's safe, okay?

Are you still hiding out at the reserve?

Yeah, but not for long.

Find out who killed Nats!

Okay.

Hey, Nellie,

we should go to the prison
to find out what happened.

It could've been anyone. It's a prison.

Enzo turns himself in, right?

We know it's Declan who twisted
his arm, but with what?

The one thing Enzo asked
for in return from us

is to transfer his son somewhere safe.

I think Teresa was behind it
to shut them all up.

All right, if we find out
who killed him,

maybe it'll bring us closer to her.

All right. Let's go, Tonto!

What, so that makes you Lone Ranger?

That's right, Ken!

You know "Tonto" 's not a
politically correct nickname.

Okay, keep up, Gollum!

Oh. That's just mean.

What the hell's going on?

- I'm happy you're okay.
- Where's my dad?

He told me we were gonna leave town,
but I haven't heard from him!

You don't have to go anywhere.

We have arranged for your father
to leave the country

until everything is settled here.

No, he wouldn't leave
without calling me.

I'm calling you.

We are taking extra precautions

until the situation is dealt with.

What the hell? What
are you talking about?

How are you gonna deal with it?

Luca, you are in charge now.

You!

If I'm in charge, I wanna know
what you mean by that.

Take care of what?

Luca, this is the moment
we talked about.

Do you want to be a general,

or do you want to stay a foot soldier?

Where is my father?

We will let you know when he is safe.

But I need to know, where are you now?

I'm moving around.

I just want to make sure you are safe.

I'm fine. I'm fine. Where are you?

Don't lose this phone.

This is your only line to me, okay?

I will be in touch.

I need to talk to my client alone.

Yeah, I know the drill.

Okay, listen,
we don't have a lot of time.

Okay, just give me a second.

Here!

What? I taped it to me.
Get your mind out of the gutter!

Come on. Hurry up.

- Yeah?
- Luca? It's your uncle.

Enzo! Are you okay?

No. I'm going to prison.

Did your father tell you
what's going on?

Yeah, he told me.

Where are you?

I'm at the farm.
Pop told me to wait here.

I gotta get the passports.
I got the cash.

I'm here but I haven't heard from him.

- You haven't talked to him at all?
- No.

Teresa said they got him
out of the country,

but, I... I can't believe that.
I mean...

He wouldn't leave without
calling me. You know him!

Luca, you listen to me, carefully.

In the deal I made with the cops,

I made sure you can't be touched.

You're free.

They've got nothing on you.
I got it in writing.

I couldn't do anything to help Nats,

but I wasn't gonna let them touch you!

You are to take care of Adamo now.

You're all we have left.

Keep him safe.

Take him away. Hide.

There's nothing left here
for either of you.

I'll keep him safe. I promise.

And whatever you do, don't trust
those 2 monsters!

Yeah, we just need another moment.

Hey, Luca, I gotta go.

What should I do?
Should I... Should I wait?

Luca, you can't wait anymore.

Your father's not coming back.

Take Adamo. He's at daycare.

Get him as far away from here
as possible.

I gotta go.

My brother's dead.

Oh! I'm so sorry, Enzo!

But you did a good thing
for Luca and your grandson.

No, I didn't.

I made a whole life of bad things.

You'll be fine. I'll get
that thing taken care of.

And I will be in touch soon.

We are to go to Buenos
Aires when we are done, because...

um, they will be looking
for me back home,

and that will bring, uh...

unnecessary pressure on my father.

Do you know what he said when
I told him that Christian...

He said: "At least it wasn't you."

- Everything good?
- Smooth as silk!

- Load up my car.
- Hey, let me do the drop.

- Uh-uh.
- Come on! I'll do exactly as you say.

- Let me be your guy.
- No. In the car.

Hey, you're getting out.

But your brother, he's got
a taste for it now.

It's not gonna be easy
for him to back away.

You keep an eye on him.

You know, it's not a good thing

to take money from a man
who's going to prison.

I'm not expecting anyone.

Get into the bathroom.

- Rose.
- Yeah.

I'm heading out now. What
are you doing down there?

- Oh... I got a leak.
- Oh!

But I have to lift up the floorboards,

so I think I need a crowbar for that.

I'll get it for you. Where is it?

It's in the shed. Red toolbox.

Be right back.

- What's this?
- I don't know.

What's this? What's that? What is that?

I have... I've...

- Are you skimming from me?
- No! Of course not!

Tell me the truth!

I don't even know where that came from!

From the shed! This is on your property!

- You're stealing from me! From me!
- No! I would never steal from you!

I don't even go in that shed!
That's Twix's stuff!

Declan! Declan! Declan, wait!

Declan! Declan!

No! Twix!

- Hey, what's going on?
- No! No!

- No! Stop it!
- You stole from me?

- What are you talking about?
- You stole from me?

Please don't do this!

- Did you steal from me?
- I'm sorry.

Why would you do that, big man?

- Why would you do that? From me?
- He's my brother!

Please, Declan! He's my brother!

What shipment did you take it from?

- Only from the bikers.
- Ah! Goddammit!

Theirs was the biggest.
I didn't think they'd notice.

Goddammit! This is on you, baby!

What have I been telling you?

He's with you. He's your blood.
I brought you into this.

Maybe they don't know.

Well, if they did,
then this buy is a trap.

- We'll give it back.
- You don't understand!

You don't understand!
This is on me. It's always on me.

That's how it works.

No one walks from shit like this.

Ah! Don't! Please! Please! Declan!

Please don't! Please don't...

You even think of running,
I will hunt you down.

- You got it?
- Uh-huh.

First, let me offer condolences

on the loss of your son.

What I'm working on right now

is getting those drugs that
killed your son off the street.

You were protecting Nats.

Now, we don't care about
the protection racket.

I just wanna know
how something like this

could've happened under your watch.

Maybe you're getting pressured.

I can help with that.

Point me in the right direction.

I'm happy to tak
some bad guys off the street.

Bobby,

I just wanna know who killed Nats.

That's all.

All right.

Declan told me he'd
bring some licorice soon.

He needs to know who killed Nats, Bobby.

It was the bikers.

What'd you say to him?

I thought I'd try
something a little different

and offer to get him a day pass.

Still got nothing.

We'll go to his reserve,
see what we can sniff out.

Yeah. Just give me a minute.

Hey, I got it out of Bobby.
It was the bikers.

And Nellie wants to come to
the reserve to ask questions.

Don't let her come here! No one!

- Do you understand?
- Yeah! Yeah!

Nellie!

Okay, so Declan must've gotten
Bobby to work for him.

That's the only way
to pressure Enzo or...

- Hey, Nellie!
- What?

Just leave it. It's a dead end.

What do you mean?

We'll go to the reserve,
we'll ask our questions and get...

No. What are you gonna find out?

He's a guy who lost his son
and runs protection to get by.

It's... There's nothing there.

Look, when I worked in fraud,

we'd follow a trail of money

and numbers and bank accounts
for months and months,

and sometimes, it
just goes nowhere, okay?

That's just how the job is sometimes!

Look, we got Enzo.

And we'll find Teresa.

Just take this win and go on
to fight the next fight,

but to kill yourself
because you don't know

every little detail, I mean...

You're gonna lose
everything you worked for.

The captain loves you right now.

You get whatever you want, just...

Don't screw it all up, right?

Just leave it.

No. We're going to the reserve.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Enzo was shot.

We're being ordered back to the station.

Son of a bitch!

Aren't you supposed to
meet the bikers now?

The bikers are working with Teresa.

- How do you know?
- Because I do.

And the buy is a trap.

You trusted me, and things
screwed up on my end.

I take full responsibility.

So what can I do now?
How do I make this right?

You can't.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here.

Then I'm gonna go to war.

Enzo is dead. But
Declan never showed up.

- Where is he staying?
- At the reserve.

Okay. We do this my way now!

You know what? You should let it go.

You have what you need.

We'll run your fentanyl operation

and distribute everywhere
for you in Quebec and...

I can't bury my brother
because of this man.

I am not going anywhere
until I know he's dead.

Well, Declan doesn't give up easily.

So you better put a bullet
in his head yourself.

That's what I plan to do.
Siro, let's go.

Hello?

Twix, is that you?

Put the gun down!

If you wanna see your friends,
you'll put it down.

Yeah, this is it, mon gars.

You're working with her now?

I wouldn't have,
but you broke your word.

You stole from me.

On your knees.

ON YOUR KNEES!

All right. All right.

Reggie, I'm thinking
you might be regretting

having found your uncle, huh?

Not much good has come from it.

It's gonna be okay.

No, Reggie,

it will not.

You call yourself a boss? Let them go.

They're innocent. Come on.

Come on, let's settle this,
you and me, like bosses do.

This is between us. Between us all.

I came to tell you something
before I leave,

so you really understand.

When I was 6, my mother, she died.

A week after her funeral, my father,

he sent Christian and I away to school.

He's an important man,

so he didn't have time to
raise us or console us.

To this day,

my brother and I have spent

one week a year with my father, only.

At Easter.

We had no mother, no father.

At school, we... we would refuse
to share a room with anyone else.

We raised each other.

I don't care. But that explains a lot.

Hmm...

You took him from me.

So now I take from you.

Choose!

W-what?

I will count to three,
and then I will choose for you.

You, um... Hang on. Hang on.

You... Oh, you are so gonna die.

Just like the way your brother
did. You are gonna die.

- One...
- Please...

Let them go! Come on!

- Two!
- Stop!

- Three!
- Just stop!

Stop! Please!

Please! Teresa, take me. Take me.

Please, just take me. Take me!

They're innocent.

That wasn't the choice,
so I will choose for you.

Wait!

- It's okay.
- Reggie, quiet!

- It's okay.
- No, no!

So be it.

Aaah! No! Aaah!!

Oh no!

Now you understand.

Ah! No! No, no, no!

Please! I won't say anything!

I want you to know, I don't like this.

But I have no choice.

Ah! Twix! Twix!

Twix!

- Rose...
- Declan?

Rose told the cops that

her brother was stealing
from the bikers,

and that I had nothing to do with it.

She even hid the 20 keys
of coke I had in my car

before they got there.

That was the last time I saw Rose.

Some things just can't be forgotten

or forgiven between people.

With everyone dead and no case to make,

Nellie's division got shut down.

They transferred her to fraud.

Ken, on the other hand, got a promotion.

Reggie told me once that
fingerprints were formed

by friction from touching
the walls of the mother's womb,

that one of the things
that makes you distinct

from every other person on the planet

is set before you're even born.

Does that mean that no one can change?

What about all the choices we make?

The roads we go down,
that we didn't mean to?

Doesn't that change us?

Or are those just variations
on a path to the same end point?

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know.

You know what I think?
None of that matters.

I am who I am, and you are who you are.

And all of this will be over
when I say it's over.
