From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Let's Get Ramblin' - full transcript

The Gecko brothers attempt to leave the hotel and take the Fuller family hostage, but Freddie arrives and complicates the situation.

The road is long.

The path uncertain.

For so many of us, the journey
is one of solitude.

We tell ourselves we must
walk this arduous road alone,

face whatever comes, no matter
how terrible.

Some of us call on angels
to spread their wings and protect us.

Others long to see the path,

hoping they will come to know
the way through the Lord's nourishment.

What if we are shown the way?

Will we continue on this road,
alone, blind and afraid?

Or will we have
the strength to follow His path?



That is why I am here today.

To honor a man who sees
with better eyes than the rest of us.

He has shown us God's
path to salvation.

Through his ministry,
he has saved so many lives,

including mine.

My husband, Jacob Fuller.

That better not be Kyle.

Shut your trap.

We're gonna stop
the first place we see.

We're gonna do what?

Daddy is drunk.

He needs to sleep it off
in an honest-to-goodness bed.

Let him sleep right there.

You should keep driving
to Mexico.



I'm not going to Mexico.

If anything, I'd drive back
to Bethel, but I can't do that either.

Since when do you call
all the shots?

Since now.

There.

The closest place is
something called the Dew Drop Inn.

Sounds cute.

Housekeeping!

Time to clean your room, son.

Uh, we-we don't need it.

You better not be making
a mess in there.

You see, the thing is, ma'am,
my, um, my girlfriend is still asleep.

You know, we kind of had a, you know,
late night last night.

You can come back
tomorrow, though, if you like.

I'll come back when I
damn well please.

Okay, thank you.

I wish you would let
me tell you.

Shut up... No talking.

We need to think.

Okay?

Half the ticket takers on the Rio Grande
are gonna have copies of our mug shot.

We need a way across.

We need it right now.

- Just listen to me.
- I should have listened to Uncle Eddie.

You know, guys like us, we're always talking
about getting out, living in paradise.

You know, talk about it all day long.

We never actually get there.

Seth.

Something happened to me.

Yes, Richard.

Something is happening.

Now, I have tried to
understand it.

I have.

But I can't.

And somehow, I don't think that you're
gonna be able to explain that to me.

I could see inside her.

What the hell
does that even mean?

I could see.

I knew she was gonna hurt me.

I knew it.

It was in her eyes.

And I don't know how to explain it
right now, but I want to figure it out.

Well, you're not gonna
figure it out here.

All right?
We cannot stay here.

You want to know what else
Uncle Eddie says?

What?

It's how we're gonna
get across, too.

What, Richard?
What is it?

There's an old Indian
saying he told me once.

"Eyes find eyes."

You see, our eyes
are the source of our energy.

You can always feel somebody's
eyes on you,

but what you're actually feeling
is their energy directed right at you.

Now, what happens if you
close your eyes?

- What?
- You cut off your energy.

If you can just shut down,

not only will people not see you,
but they'll see through you.

The greatest cat burglar in the history
of cat burglars taught him that.

Close our eyes.

That's your plan?

Close our eyes?

Okay...
I got to get out of here.

All right, you, uh, brush up on your
Spanish or something.

I got dibs on the bed.

I'm not sleeping with Dad.

I'm too old for that.

What in the world?

It's just some weirdo.

What is his problem?

Sir, thanks
for returning my call.

I thought I told you
to stay put.

Don't try selling me any
horse pucky about a cartel killer.

You're just trying to justify going on
a tear after them Geckos.

I'm just reading the evidence.

Well, I'm standing next to a body
out in the middle of nowhere

and he's been dead about what?

Looks like about two hours.

Looks like he's been bled out.

Did you hear that?

And he's still got his eyes.

That doesn't match
the killer you're tracking.

Does that mean anything to you?

Sir, I brought in an expert.

He says we're not just dealing
with a cartel.

Like, some kind of blood cult.

They worship an ancient
Mexican God of death.

Ranger, my son tells me lots
of crazy things when I get home.

That's 'cause he's high on weed.

Don't make me
listen to it at work.

The Geckos are crossing
at Acuna.

They're gonna
get help from this cartel.

I just need you to call it in.

I'll call the border boys...
If you swear to me right now

you're gonna turn around
and head home.

Earl told me not to rest
until these Geckos were dead.

My hand to God, that's the last
thing he said to me.

Guess I'm answering
to a higher power now.

Some free advice, son?

You find yourself in a hole,
stop digging.

That said, I see why
you can't let go of the shovel.

I'll call if in.

But you call me soon as
you got anything.

Deal?

Deal.

I didn't get shot so these
som'bitches could ride off into the sunset.

You promise me something.

You kill these bastards.

I swear on my daughter, I will.

What can I do you for?

Fill 'er up.

You could have
dropped us off first.

I mean, like, why'd you have
to park so far away?

I am the driver.

I park where I please.

I don't even know why
you're driving.

Dad half-drunk can
drive better than you ever could.

- Dad!
- What makes you think you can talk like that?

- I was just kidding.
- We're still a clean family.

Show some respect.

Dad.

Stop.

Dad.

Kate, mind if I take
the bed?

No, not at all...
I'm going to the pool.

Katie-cakes.

Open the door.

Now.

I'm sorry about the drink.

I was just... taking the foot off
the gas, so to speak.

It-it won't happen again.

Good.

Are we done?

You want to tell me
what's going on with you?

Nothing is going on with me.

You really want to
turn the whole ship around?

Yes, I do.

Why?

I don't feel safe with
you anymore.

I don't feel
like I can trust you.

You're not acting like yourself.

Katie, I'm really sorry.

I really am...
I-l think in time...

you'll look back on this trip and you'll
realize how important it was,

regardless of your opinion of me.

Can I change now?

If there's something more
that I did to let you down, I apologize.

Hey, there, old-timer.

Say, listen.

Um, where's a good place to
get something to eat around here?

What do I look like, the damn
Chamber of Commerce?

Look, I'm just trying
to find somewhere to eat.

I don't care where you eat, as long
as you don't eat in that room.

If I smell food coming out of that room,
I'm gonna throw your ass out on that street

and don't you think
I won't do it.

You know what?
Just forget it.

- It's okay.
- Hey, I don't need to forget it.

I've already forgot it.

Don't you forget what
I just told you.

Okay...
You have a nice day.

Hey, Dad.

I need to get one of
the bags out of the RV.

Did you order a pizza?

No.

Hi.

You know, we're actually in
the room just below you.

Do you think you could keep
the noise level down a little bit?

What's that, now?

The man said shut your mouth.

So, what's with the Asian kid?

Trick-or-treat for
UNICEF?

He's my son.

Really?

Well, where's Mom?

It's just me and the boy.

What about that girl?

She was driving
the RV, remember?

Seth.

You two like to play
dress-up?

No, we do not.

Where is she?

She went for a grocery run
for the motor home.

She won't be back for hours.

- He's lying.
- Call her.

She's not answering.

She put this on before she left.

She's probably at the pool.

I'll go get her.

Actually, you go
get her, Richie.

You spent enough
time in hotels today.

Hey.

Now you to just go find her,
and you bring her back here, okay?

Don't talk to her.

Don't touch her.

Let's get on the clock.

10 on the Timex.

I've got this under control.

"Case number 349235.

"Driver was Pastor Jacob Fuller.

"Passenger was his spouse,
Jennifer Fuller.

"Mr. Fuller appears to have lost control of the
vehicle coming off the bend on Montgomery.

At least, that's what
the suspect initially reported."

I already told you
what happened.

My brakes needed replacing...

"Our inspection showed
the brakes were fine.

Pads and rotors at acceptable levels."

And I was coming 'round that
bend on Montgomery

and there was a
deer and I swerved and...

"Proximity of the street lamp makes
it unlikely wild animals

"would venture onto
that section of the highway.

"Analysis of the road surface shows a
defined pattern and friction force.

"The vehicle was traveling
in excess of 70 miles per hour.

Blood tests concur with
the on-site breathalyzer."

Katie-cakes?

"Mr. Fuller's blood-alcohol level
was below the legal limit.

"He was not impaired.

"However, inspection of
lacerations on Mr. Fuller's arms

"revealed an alternate cause.

Subject reported being involved in an altercation
with his wife just before the crash."

Altercation with his wife.

Through his ministry, he has saved
so many lives, including mine.

My husband, Jacob Fuller.

Lord, heal thy servant, Jenny.

Relieve her from her pain and sorrow
so that she might better serve you

and her family in this life.

She has struggled to stay on
the path that you have laid for her.

May you clear her road so that
she can find her way.

Amen.

What's wrong with Mama?

How long have
you been standing there?

I just got here.

It's another migraine.

Your poor mother's suffering.

No, she needs her rest.

If you want to help her,
pray for her.

What are you hiding, Daddy?

You okay?

I'm... I'm fine.

Richie?

Would you take off
my bikini for me, please?

Can I have one of those?

Didn't your daddy
tell you never to do this?

Do what?

Talk to strangers.

My daddy says a lot of things.

Hmm... You on vacation
or something?

Sorta.

Not much of a vacation, huh?

Oh, I don't know.

Who needs the Bahamas when
you have the Dew Drop Inn?

Eric!
Mikey!

Slow down!

Wait for me.

You sure you're okay?

Do you ever feel like your
life and everything in it

is just... slowly turning upside down,

Like a ship flippin' over
in the ocean?

You have no idea.

Housekeeping!

Uh, we're still sleeping.

Can you come back later, please?

Come on, Richie.

The infamous Gecko brothers.

I didn't say you could get up.

I heard about you on the radio.

I switched the channel so it
wouldn't scare my kids.

You did the right thing...
Now sit.

Radio said you
robbed a bank up in Abilene.

You're moving south.

Means you're going to Mexico.

That's what you
need us for, isn't it?

You're gonna use us to cross.

- We're your cover.
- You're a smart man.

You ever do any acting?

Acting?

Yeah drama club, high school.

Nothing like that?

Once...
a long time ago.

- Well, who'd you play?
- Joseph.

Joseph who?

Joseph, son of Jacob.

Interesting guy?

He could see the future.

Sounds handy.

Now, did they teach
you anything about acting?

Uh, what's the point?

You see, in my line, you're
always a performer.

You understand?

Now, I like actors.

I study them.

Pacino, McQueen, Brando...
they got a way of looking believable.

You believe me?

Now, the first rule of good acting is to
listen to what the other actors are saying.

Are you listening to me?

I'm gonna need you to brush up
on your drama skills.

Because you're gonna have
to get better... a lot better... fast.

We're all booked for a
one-time-only performance

of "you do
whatever the hell I say."

I'm the lead, you and your little adopted
boy here are supporting.

Now, if you kill it...

we're all gonna get Tonys.

Now, you want a Tony, don't you?

The plan won't work.

I won't let
you take my children.

Well, it's not gonna work with one
creepy old dude, so guess what.

We're bringing the whole clan.

So sit down.

You told him not
to touch my daughter.

What?

Your brother.

Why did you tell him
not to touch my daughter?

Your daughter's gonna be fine.

He harms her...

I'll kill you
with my bare hands.

You're gonna kill him with
your big mouth first.

- What's your name, again?
- Scott.

Scott, do me a favor.

Tell your dad to
sit down and shut up.

Dad.

Sit down.

Getting better already.

You're not inhaling.

I'm not a smoker.

You seem like a nice girl.

How would you know?

I could be a terrible person.

I pick up on things.

Oh, yeah?

What other kinds of things
do you pick up on?

Underage girls?

That would be despicable.

You should pick that up.

It's my dad.

I don't want to talk to him.

Not right now, at least.

You have a problem with him.

I'm a teenager.

It's something deeper than that.

Something that really hurts.

I saw you floating in the pool.

It was like you were bleeding,
like you were hurting inside.

I really think that
you should talk to him.

It'll make you feel better.

Are you some kind of traveling
preacher or something?

You're wearing that suit.

You look like a Bible salesman.

I don't sell Bibles.

But I think I see the truth.

- I see a lot of things.
- Like what?

I see a girl
hiding from her father.

Something...

happened to me and my family.

My dad keeps
lying to me about it.

I don't know how to talk to him.

I don't know
why I'm telling you this.

Sometimes it's easier
to talk to strangers.

My name is Kate.

Oh, see?
Now you've gone and ruined the whole thing.

Richard.

You think he killed her.

Excuse me?

Well, whoever she
was she never had migraines.

Oh, my God.

Sorry...
I didn't mean to...

I don't know what kind of tricks
you're playing on me.

It's judgment.

What's that?

You're judgment.

You're here to bring His judgment
down on me.

This isn't in
the script, old man.

My children have paid the price
for my actions.

I'm the one that
deserves this, not them.

I'll come with you willingly.

Please don't make
them suffer for what I've done.

Don't go getting soft
on me, old man.

Now, we still have
a performance to put on.

Keep the energy up.

Kate, run!

Was it something I said?

Didn't expect this
my third day on the job.

Way I see it, you're
two days late.

Shouldn't we call for backup?

You want to tell this girl's parents
you were waiting for backup?

Keep the change.

- Turn it down.
- Whoa!

- You got something
that doesn't belong to you.

You got to get it back to
its rightful owner.

You're dead.

Just know this, friend...

The path is stained with
tears of blood.

Lágrimas de Sangre.

Lágrimas!

Lágrimas!

J "J"

Lágrimas.

Lágrimas.

J "J"

Get low... Stay behind the car.

Get down!

Everybody down!

Clear out!
Let's go!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Hold your fire!

Get 'em back!

That's the ex-wife, which means those
son of a bitch brothers ain't far away.

What happened here?

I've only interviewed a few witnesses
so far, but from what I can tell,

one of my men
spotted him at the counter.

He was about to make the arrest.

That's when that tall drink of water
showed up with her hand cannon.

What the hell are you gonna do?

I'm just gonna talk to her.

Y'all go on!

Get out of here!

I want keys to a vehicle!

I'm done asking!

Y'all better clear out or I'm gonna unload
my gun in the back of his fat head!

Don't do this, Vanessa.

You don't really
expect to drive out of here.

I'm gonna do what I got to do.

For who?

For Seth?

Isn't he the one
who left you holding the bag?

What the hell is that?

Richie's been doing this to girls
up and down the state.

Now, I got to assume
you're accessory to bank robbery,

but you want to be a
party to that?

Seth doesn't have
anything to do with that.

Not his choice.

Richie's not right in the head.

Yeah...
What about it?

At some point, someone's gonna really piss him
off and he's gonna go really, really bad.

You want that to be Seth?

Richie's got a sick soul.

And I need to put him away.

Help me do that.

Go.

Drove off in a Camaro.

I smashed it up.

They're staying
at a motel nearby.

There's a lot of those
around here.

That's all I know.

You find Seth, and you
get him away from that freak.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of him.

Time's up, princess.

Okay, ramblers, let's
get ramblin'.

Now, we can't all go
marching past the lobby all at once.

It's gonna be a very guilty-looking
parade.

So here's how we're gonna do it.

You're gonna go first...
Alone.

You're gonna get into
the motor home, you're gonna start her up,

you're gonna bring her around front
and then you're gonna wait.

Five minutes after that,

Richie and boy wonder
are gonna go down with our bags.

Five minutes after that, me and
Miley are gonna go down.

Everyone should have their
hero switch in the "off" position.

I make the plan.

Everybody executes it,
or I execute you.

Simple as "Sesame Street."

Hold your damn horses!

Texas Ranger...
May I have a word with you?

What do you want?

I'm doing a hotel/motel search
for a couple of fugitives.

Have you seen
either of these men?

I haven't seen anybody.

You got to look at the picture.

Is there a reward?

If I'm going first, I want
to talk to my kids before I leave.

That's a lovely sentiment.

No dice.

We'll have a greater chance
of success if they're calm and focused.

All right...
One minute.

One.

We should move
the RV to the back.

Why would we do that?

Something's
telling me that we need to.

Something's telling you?

I'm telling you it's fine.

You haven't listened
to a word I've been saying,

- have you?
- No, Richard.

I haven't.

Because actions
speak louder than words.

Now, would you like to go back to our
room and review those actions?

I've tuned in to something.

And it is showing me the way.

I am back,
which means we are back.

Tell him to move the RV
to the back.

RV stays.

There's only one captain
on this ship, and it ain't you.

Girl's gonna be all right.

Medics looked
her over real good.

Mom and Dad's on the way.

World's a better place
without those two mongrels in it.

I'm sorry, Earl.

For what?

Who the hell am I kidding?

I ain't cut out for this.

Can't even stand
the sight of blood.

Then go.

What do you mean?

Go... Leave.

Nobody's begging you
to be a ranger.

But you ain't gonna quit.

Why?

'Cause you got
the soul of a ranger.

You know that you're part
of something bigger.

You're part of the last line of
defense between chaos and order.

And that soul is what made you
want to wait for backup.

That's the same soul that
made you want to kick in that door.

And I hate to tell you, kid, but...

it's also what makes you
hate the sight of blood.

I'm still sorry.

Don't say that
to me again or I'll shoot you.

I know you're disgusted
with me right now.

I know this is more than you
bargained for when we started on this road.

But it is what it is.

What'd you mean
by all the judgment stuff?

- It was nothing.
- Wait.

What judgment stuff?

He was talking to one of them
like this was supposed to happen.

Like he deserved it
or something.

I was trying to distract him.

Listen very closely.

When I'm not here,
you do exactly what they say.

You follow every instruction
to the letter.

Dad, you trust these freaks?

No, but I trust the fact that they
want to get to Mexico

and they can't do that
without all three of us alive.

We're gonna survive this
'cause we're a family.

We are minus one.

And God knows I miss her...
I miss her deeply.

- Do you, Daddy?
- Kate, what the hell?

Okay...
Family meeting's adjourned.

Let's go, Pops.

They're gone, sir...
And the bags are gone.

No sign of the bearer bonds.

They left behind
the teller, too.

Carved her up like a game hen.

Call some locals to
secure the area.

I'm on my way.

And, Gonzalez, don't think
this absolves you of anything.

Excuse me, sir...
Do I know you?

Have you seen these men?

Can't say that I have.

Have a blessed day.

All right.
Getting close.

You like Bruce Lee?

Huh?

Bruce Lee.

Do you like him?

Yeah.

So do I.

You seen any of his early stuff?

- Mm, yeah.
- Really?

- Mmm-hmm
- Can you understand

all the stuff that
they're saying?

Um, k-kind of...
N-not much.

You kind of look like Bruce Lee.

Why, 'cause I'm Asian?

No, because you look
like Bruce Lee.

Just paid you a compliment.

All kinds of strangeness going
on in this motel today.

Like what?

I'm not supposed
to talk about the guests.

It's okay, ma'am.

I'm a ranger.
Do I look like some kind of idiot to you?

I see the star...
I know what you are, son.

- Ma'am...
- That's the problem with you people.

Think you can treat everybody
like they're the help.

Okay, boys... Showtime.

Me first...
You first?

You got something
you want to say to me?

I'm not gonna ask you twice.

I don't have
anything to say to you.

You got nothing to say, huh?

That's funny.

I could have sworn
you gave me an F-You look.

You wanna say "F-You," Scott?

No.

Hmm... My mistake.

Maybe it
wasn't an F-You look.

Maybe it was an "I'm gonna
make a move" look.

Is that right?

You ready to make a move, Scott?

That was a
question, not a statement.

And I want an answer.

How could I?

- You have a gun.
- That's right.

I got a gun.

And I know how to use it.

Do you know how to
use a gun, Scott?

No.

Ah, simplicity in itself.

You see, you point
at what you want to die.

You pull the little trigger.

Little bullet comes out here.

Little bullet hits you
right there.

Then you don't look
like Bruce Lee anymore.

I got it.

I just need to know if you've seen
either of these two men.

So, now you want my help?

Ma'am... please.

I seen that one.

Handsome devil.

Room 106.

Do you know where
he and his brother went?

Brother?

Do you know where he went?

Heard him up in another room.

Which room?

Upstairs-207.

You're welcome.

Start 'er up.

You know, that daughter
of yours is a real sweet girl.

We had a nice long talk.

Sounds like the two of you have a few
things you need to work out.

Keep your hands off my daughter.

I just want to remind you
that she's still up there.

So if you try anything,

anything at all,

I'll be having Katie-cakes
for dessert.

How do you know I call her that?

They know that we're here.

- Who knows?
- The cops.

They're around.
I can practically smell 'em.

Okay, change of plans.

Take this big bastard
around the back now!

Ever had the pleasure of working
with a ranger, JP?

Can't say that I have.

Bunch of first-class a-holes.

Act like God Almighty put them
in charge of the universe.

How you doing there, sir?

One of the Geckos
might still be here.

I'm gonna go
around this far stairwell.

You guys come around
this other side.

We'll meet in the middle.

Whatever you say, sir.

Okay, it's time.

You ready?

Listen, um...

Did my... brother...
do anything to you?

He scared me.

You're not the only one.

Look at me.

Remember what I told you.

You do what
I tell you when I tell you

and you'll get out of this without
any bumps or scrapes.

Okay?

Eyes find eyes.

Come on.

All right, here goes nothing.

Hey!

- You having fun, brother?
- Jesus Christ, Richie.

You know, a little "Hey, it's me"
before you fling the friggin' door open

would go a long way in
keeping you alive.

I moved the RV around back.

- You what?
- I told you we had to.

Look, we got to get out of here
before Ranger Ricardo makes his way in.

Almost there...

Now what are you gonna do.

Huh?

You're too
scared to follow through?

Where's the knife?

Come on!

You call yourself a ranger?

Freeze!

Go, go!

Doesn't that just beat all?

Talked to your ex...
She gave you up real quick.

You Geckos sure have a knack
for pissing people off.

Keep talking.

Oh, we're gonna do this?

Go sit down.

Drive!

Did I call it, or did I call it?

- If I didn't move this beast...
- All right, already.

You're a genius.

Hey.

Are we back, brother?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're back.

All right, Pops.

You're gonna
make a left right up here.

I didn't mean to scare you
at the pool earlier.

I was telling you the truth.

I don't remember what you said

and I don't care.

Yes, you do.

Sorry your world is upside down.

I don't know, but I feel like all this
is happening for a reason.

Can... can you
really see things?

Only when I look.
