From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Head Games - full transcript

Freedom!
Let's go.
Holy shit.
I've read
all about this place.
Temple of
the nine moons, man.
Sanctuary.
Like churches in highlander.
Ok, just...
These are lords, ok?
Just listen to
what they have to say.
Hear them out.
You finally found
your place in the world.
Our world.
You're welcome.
What you call
mexico and texas,
We call tlalticpac,
the first realm.
The realm of light.
It's been our home
for thousands
And thousands of moons.
You really expect us
to give you a piece of it?
We are grateful that you
took down a corrupt lord, so...
Ximena.
Tell them what they've won.
As counselor
to lord venganza verdugo,
It is my duty
to inform you,
We have consulted
with all the lords present here,
And the decision is final.
Los hermanos gecko
shall be named oztomeca.
What the fuck
are you doin'?
Thank you.
We're the collectors.
So we're bagmen.
I am not a bagman.
The decision was not unanimous.
If it were up to me,
you'd be back on the street...
...Robbing liquor stores.
However, if you serve us well,
we'll consider a... Promotion.
Yeah, I have never robbed
a liquor store in my life.
Thank you.
Well, maybe it's time to
make you one of us, mr. Gecko.
Like your brother.
Well... Well, you can
certainly die tryin'.
Really?
I'd like to see that.
We must feast in honor
of this arrangement.
Venganza,
We'd better settle this
with the gods, before
I change my mind.
Man/venganza:
Look.
The tastiest part.
Sure you don't want some?
Knock yourself out.
Man:
I'm not gonna
ask you again.
And I am going to
fucking eat you alive!
You were late
on your tribute,
And we are the collectors.
Been that way for what,
six months now?
Jesus christ,
this is the longest
I've been stuck on a job
Since I was flippin' burgers
at big kahuna in high school.
I flipped the burgers,
you bussed the tables.
But the point
is that the lords
depend on us to deliver.
But for us to deliver,
you need to deliver.
Like fed-fuckin'-ex.
Absolutely, positively
has to be right here, right now.
Three hundred and...
...Seventeen.
Three hundred
and seventeen thousand
From the contents
of the safe behind that bar,
Unless you want to get lit up
like a roman candle.
Ok.
Huh.
See this?
This is what happens
when you let
a pinche guero loco
And a fucking feed bag
run an operation.
Feed bag? That is
a micro-aggression.
Don't even think about it.
I'm not going to
stand for this.
Seth: Then sit down,
'cause this is the game.
You knew that
when you signed up to play.
What if I told you
the game is about to change?
Seth. Come on.
Yeah.
They have no idea
what's coming, do they?
They will.
They're here.
Alonzo's old school.
He's gonna kick like a mule.
I was not the aggressor.
You started
the whole goddamned thing!
Richard:
After he showed himself
to be the aggressor.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're like van damme, then.
You're misunderstood.
Hey, van damme
was not misunderstood.
He was never appreciated.
There's a difference, you know.
Bloodsport is not just
an action film.
It's an exploration
of the battle
Between the proletariat
and the bourgeoisie.
And the triumph
of the human spirit.
You keep this safe, kid.
Always, señor.
You know he's like
170 years old, right?
Yeah. Yeah,
of course I know that,
But he likes it
when I call him "kid".
Don't you, old man?
Makes him feel young.
Yes, sir.
Age is a state of mind.
See?
A viejolike me needs to be
reminded of that.
Here, here.
Oh, my god, wow.
That is amazing.
Where'd you learn to do that?
Bartender I turned.
You see, blood is the conduit
of the soul, brother.
When I bite somebody, there's
some... Sharing that happens.
I pick up skills sometimes.
Know what I mean?
Yeah.
Age is just a state of mind.
I'll try and remember that.
Well, I may not be immortal,
But I intend to live
a nice full life,
And then die,
in peace and comfort,
On a beautiful beach.
Yeah,
But you won't be able
to get a boner.
Nice.
It's like a friggin'
junk drawer in there.
"the penitent man shall pass."
Totally.
Peacekeeper.
You can rest when you're dead.
Don't you mean undead?
I have a phone, you know.
My boss is upset.
She wants to call a meeting.
Con los geckos.
What did they do now?
Yo, yo. We got a situation.
Lord venganza, it is my honor
to have an audience with you.
You're not the first, alonzo.
I've been getting
a lot of complaints.
Come on.
Sit down.
How the fuck could you
let this happen?
You made this happen.
'sides, he's a mid-boss.
He's got the juice
to call this kinda meeting.
What, 'cause we
roughed him up
a little bit?
Seems like a bitch move.
It is totally
and absolutely unacceptable.
It is totally
and absolutely unacceptable.
If someone can't pay...
...We sit down, we discuss it
Like civilized men...
...And women, no?
...Doña venganza,
You need to teach them a lesson.
All the lords do.
Forget this asshole, all right?
He's just a deadbeat
Who hates me
because I'm not a friggin'--
The lords told me
to give you nothing.
I went out
on a limb for you.
Both of you.
Lord venganza, he was late.
We can show you the books.
Maybe people don't like
the way we operate,
But we do get it done.
Ma'am.
Seth:
Señor alonzo, trust that
I will deal with these men.
But I think
we can all agree...
That you were past due.
You are correct.
Allow me to...
...Pay you in full.
Gun!
the fuck?
That... Is not how vipers die.
He's not a culebra anymore.
He's worse.
Much worse.
Wait a second,
worse than a snake?
I don't understand.
I thought we'd seen it all.
Don't talk about things
you don't understand, mr. Gecko.
You're right.
I don't understand, because
Alonzo here flashed his fangs
at us last night.
Now you're telling me
he's not one of you?
He's been transformed.
Into what?
stand down!
These men
are not responsible.
Go outside
and await my instructions.
Never seen one of them
that scared.
They're just caught off guard.
No, I'm not talking about them.
Venganza: Yes, emilio,
It's calavera. I don't know how,
but I'm certain it's him.
No, you're not understanding me.
We have to get
the lords together.
Now.
Yes, as soon as I'm done here,
I'm heading over to you.
Ximena. Transformed into what?
This man...
Was taken by calavera.
What?
The skull keeper.
A demon. Summoned by those
who require his unique gifts.
In ancient times,
He served the great armies
by infiltrating enemy lands.
He traveled from
one village to the next,
posing as an artisan.
He destroys tribes from within.
He doesn't kill his victims.
He feasts on their skulls...
On their power.
What power?
Once he has your skull,
He owns your mind.
Richard: So this guy's
like a puppet.
But he's not the only one.
Huh?
These are stake guns.
No one brought them.
They were planted.
What does he want?
Whoa!
Hey, hey, hey.
It's all right, boss.
I checked the perimeter.
We're all clear.
Just-- let's everybody
just calm down, ok?
Ximena:
He could be one of them.
Then shoot him.
What?
Shoot him in the head.
Culebras can handle bullets,
as long as they're not stakes,
But skull boy's little puppets?
Shoot 'em in the head
and it's like scanners.
No, no, no, no.
There's no way, ok?
There's absolutely no way
This bastard
got into our operation.
Hey.
You ain't authorized to be here.
Are you listening to me?
Stand up!
I said, stand up!
Bring me some friends.
I will bring you some friends.
Amigos.
Help me check something out.
Richard: Alonzo said
the game was gonna change.
This couldn't have been
what he meant.
Sure, it could.
Kill a lord, change the rules.
Why do you think
he called a sit-down?
Venganza:
He didn't call anything.
The skull keeper controls
his subjects. Completely.
He is the one we're after.
Ximena,
The lords are gathering.
You and the peacekeeper
are with me.
Geckos. Find calavera
and destroy him.
Uh... No, thank you.
We're done with
the whole snake dance,
all right?
The skull keeper is not
a culebra. He is from xibalba.
That's hell, seth.
It's literally from hell.
Oh, good. Then I'm sure
he can find his way back.
Come on, richard.
This is their problem.
Their problem?
Yeah.
Your precious lord over there
gave us a job, remember?
I am a collector,
not a... Ghostbuster.
Mr. Gecko, he penetrated
your organization.
He took one of your people.
You are not my people.
Not long ago...
Los hermanos gecko
committed terrible...
Terrible sins.
You ran
south of the border,
Searching for redemption.
What exactly did you find?
Well, as I recall,
a bar full of
watered-down drinks
And overdressed bloodsuckers.
They told me you were
looking for el rey.
You were trying
to get to heaven.
If you believe in heaven,
mr. Gecko...
I suggest
You start to
believe in hell...
Because it is coming.
Things get a little real,
and you wanna take off.
I'm stunned.
Look,
You want to work your way
up the food chain,
Be my guest, ok?
Go impress your bosses.
Fuck, make yourself a lord!
I'm done looking over
my shoulder
Every minute of everyday.
Ah. So that's why
you're running. You're scared.
You selfish little prick.
I stuck around here to help you.
Really? Because I'm not
your people, remember?
You never gave a shit
about me or this place,
About what we've built.
Richard, we are flunkies.
All right? We go to mid-bosses
and we beg for money.
This place is built
on bad blood,
On the body
of a dead kid.
So we're going
to go there again.
I didn't kill kate.
Carlos did.
Are you even listening to me?
Who touched my safe?
What?
I keep this dial at zero,
and it's not at zero.
I got 75 grand in here
and, I swear to god,
If it's not here, I'm gonna...
You see? It's there.
No, no, no.
No, this is all rearranged.
This skull fucker got somebody
all the way in here.
Did you try
to crack my safe?
What are you talkin' about?
Oh. Nice.
Have you lost your damn mind?
What's going on here?
Richard:
Why don't you ask him?
I'm sure he knows
all about your precious stash.
I'm askin' you.
Did you or did you not
Try to crack my safe?
No.
Ok, but you--
you're sure,
Right, you're sure about
what you said back there?
A snake can survive
a bullet, yeah?
I mean, it would hurt
like hell, but... Yes.
There's only one way
to find out.
Richard:
Are you fuckin' k--
Mira, you're not supposed
to park here.
That was a little much.
He- he's coming back.
It's fine.
Come here.
Did you touch this?
No, no, I didn't.
Well, who else knows it's here?
I thought it was only us.
You fuckin' dick!
Relax!
Ow!
Son of a...
Look, if that thing had gotten
to you, you'd be dead already.
All right, just--
stop. Stop!
I got a plan.
Just... Go.
Come on. I got--
Ah, shit.
I almost forgot.
Sorry, old man.
Ok, ladies and gentlemen.
Your soul speaks.
We have a new operator in town,
Skull keeper:
Your mind dies...
And I think he's trying
to take over this outfit,
Like a... Tapeworm in our gut.
Well, hawkeye
and trapper john aren't around,
So I am here to perform
a minor procedure.
You see, once our guy
gets a hold of you,
He leaves you
in a state of, uh...
Perpetual britney.
No lights in the attic.
Nothin' upstairs.
Luckily, I have developed
a field test.
Unfortunately, there may be
a bit of a mess involved...
Worked for those bad guys
in lethal weapon ii.
Boss?
Kalinda.
You are my favorite assistant.
Please don't hurt her,
mr. Gecko.
Please don't hurt her,
mr. Gecko.
I swear. I-- I'm me!
I'm really me!
How do I like
my old fashioned?
Rye... Rye whiskey
with two orange twists!
Pass.
Now, if nobody else
has anything to hide,
This should go pretty quick.
What the fuck?
Sorry, jefe.
She was making a move.
Well, it looks like
we got our tapeworm.
I saw her in
the warehouse, searching.
We should check.
Everyone else,
hit the showers.
Don't move!
You were right.
Florinda's one of them.
She just blew open your safe.
Bring her over.
With some pipes and chains.
We're gonna figure out
what these two are up to.
That's you in there,
you sneaky weasel?
Guess you don't know
a long con when you see one.
You played a game.
To expose me.
Ding-ding-ding. Level up.
You're too late.
We have what we came for.
Don't even think about--
So these are
the legendary brothers
Who think they can
defeat the underworld.
We're the ones
holding the guns, pal.
Like all thieves,
what you think is valuable...
...Is merely worthless.
Then why steal from us?
And try and kill venganza?
You didn't need
to do all that
to get to my stash.
Answer the question.
Go back to
your needles, mr. Gecko.
You may not be a snake,
but you have your own venom.
What did you say to me?
Whoa, whoa, whoa--
hey, hey, hey...
Don't do it, cris.
Lower your weapons...
...Or we all die together.
Ok, ok, ok. All right.
Kinda reminds me
of that time
we were in, um...
Tallahassee, remember that?
Yup.
That was quite excellent.
Oh, fuckin' a.
No, no, no,
no, no, no...
God. Great,
the gto's gone.
So's his bike.
She must have taken
the car. Our car.
Tell me you got the--
we got it.
Yeah?
We got it.
Keep going, we're getting close.
This whole hit on venganza.
It still doesn't wash.
I mean, why call a sit-down
just to kill one lord?
Right?
Jesus christ, he knew.
He knew what?
That I used to shoot up, ok?
How did he know that?
He is not a "he".
He's a force. From hell.
Were you not listening?
Yes, I was listening,
but I also heard her say that...
Skeletor's summoned,
all right? He's a lackey.
You ask me,
somebody sent him to us.
Lights.
What the fuck?
He's over there.
With her.
That's what he stole?
An amulet?
Guess he doesn't
need her anymore.
Oh, god, I'm gonna miss her.
Look at all those skulls.
Where did he get those?
Gotta be our guys.
No. There's way too many.
Shit.
What?
That's why he tried
to whack venganza.
He knew it would force
a meeting of the lords.
Those skulls are her bodyguards.
He sent them back with her.
He's going after
all of 'em.
Venganza.
Emilio.
It's official. Calavera was
one of the captured.
We sentenced him to
the labyrinth centuries ago.
Inside the temple
of the eternal feast.
The twister?
Yes, the twister.
It was destroyed six moons ago
by carlos madrigal.
The skull keeper
did not escape from hell,
He escaped from our prison.
They all did.
They?
How many more are there?
More than we can survive.
Do you see them, master?
I do.
Richard:
Shit. He's back at it.
I gotta warn the peace-keeper.
You got him on speed dial?
Yeah.
Richard:
He played us.
The whole hit on venganza,
They did it
just to get to the guards!
I'll call you back.
Don't let anyone out, calavera.
Understood.
Brasa, you coward.
How dare you come here.
We gotta get her
out of here.
No. We stay and fight!
Ximena. He's right.
He must not get to me.
What the hell are you doing?
Flippin' the burgers.
Hey!
Let him go, asshole!
You will be ours now.
They're all dead.
Now, I'm the only lord left.
I expect a bonus.
This prison gang
from the labyrinth,
They got a leader.
His name is brasa.
A natural enemy of culebras.
Well, it was a good plan.
He hit us hard,
and he hit us fast.
I'm sure there's gonna be
more to come.
You sound as if
you're ready to fight.
As long as there's a bonus.
You know, my brother
likes to remind me
That he's gonna live forever.
You ask me,
that sounds a little overrated.
I'm gonna go out
on my own terms.
I want a free ticket to el rey.
He wants to die on a beach.
I could make that happen.
But I would not count
on paradise, mr. Gecko.
Why's that?
We are at war.
Culebras have never lived
without their lords.
The clans will fall.
There will be chaos.
And trust me,
we're not ready for that,
And neither are you.
I can't believe
you're actually in.
Well, if there's a heaven,
there's a hell, right?
Maybe it's coming for us.
What do you mean,
"coming for us"?
For the things we've done.
Maybe it's coming to collect.
It's beautiful.
Bring it to me.
It's been too long.
Man: It's transcendent.
Like you.
Are you staring at me?
I didn't think so.
