From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Episode #3.3 - full transcript

(approaching footsteps)

(zipper opens)

(laughs)

A bandana? Really?

What, are you on your way to Coachella?

(growling)

(groaning)

(girl screams)

(dull thud)

(music playing on radio)

(man talking on radio)



(phone beeps, rings)

MARGARET: You've reached
Margaret and Billy.

Please leave a message after the beep,

and we'll call you back in a jiffy.

Hey, it's me. Sorry to call so early.

Figured you'd be up with the baby.

- I thought I'd call you before...
- (chain rattles)

I'm sorry I haven't been callin'.
Workin' a lot of overtime.

I'm just gonna say it,

I wanna see Billy.

I'm her father and it
ain't right that I can't.

And I don't care what your lawyer
got that judge to say.

You're letting these assholes
talk you into shit

that you would never do...



that we would never do to each other.

I wanna see her. And I wanna see you.

Call me.

Hands! Now!

What the fuck?

No, no, no.

No, it's OK.

Just tell me what happened.
Who did this to you?

(speaking in Spanish) _

You're a culebra?

_

Who did? Where did he take you?

_

Us? Who's...

Who's us?

_

Agua Fría...

- Agua.
- Agua Fría...

You stay here.

Hey, hey. Put that down.

_

No!

Shit!

(speaking in Spanish) _

TANNER: Their deaths
were only the beginning...

The ultimate offering to the gods.

Who knows what secrets
these rituals will reveal...

where they will take us?

If not for archaeologists
such as myself,

many of these secrets
might be lost forever.

And with every expedition,

we must be willing to dig, and dig deep.

To plumb the depths of every dark
hole and foreboding crevasse

to find what we seek.

And until we do that,

we may never be able to tap into

the energy of the universe
like the ancients did.

Well... (clears throat)

It looks like that
just about does it for today.

Don't forget to read
and review Chapter 33.

I want those essays.

And I don't mean ese, I want essays.

That was so wild.

Ah, you were very brave today, Mary-Jo.

Oh, I don't know.

It was all pretend, right?

I don't know, you may be
ready for the real deal.

I don't normally do this,
but if you're interested,

I may have an opening on my team.

You really think I'm ready for that?

Well...

only the gods can decide.

Why does this Kate person even matter?

She's not Kate anymore. She's possessed.

She thinks she's some type of queen.

Does that ring a bell?

There were stories.

Legends. A queen of Xibalba
who came to this realm.

And when were you gonna tell us that?

- It's just a legend.
- OK, you know what, where is your boss?

Clearly, you don't have the information
we need, maybe she does.

Lord Venganza is in hiding.
She's a target.

Oh, she's a target. Subtly ironic.

We got hell's prisoners
coming at us day and night,

but your boss,
your boss is the target. OK.

I thought you were going
to recruit Santanico Pandemonium.

She bailed on us.

Then get the Peacekeeper.

- You should be working together.
- Oh, my God.

He's about as close to a fighting
force as you're going to get.

Yeah.

That's not entirely accurate.

Oh God, here we go...

- I found a passage in the Ancient Word.
- Wow.

It says the Lords once utilized
the skills of a demon hunter

by the name of Ilhicamina.

"The one who shoots arrows at the sky."

That sounds like a lousy shot.

This guy tracked, captured,

and tossed most of the Xibalbans
in the Labyrinth

by using their own weapons against them.

You want a fighting force?
This is a one-man fighting force.

Ilhicamina is dead.

I told you. What did I say?

No, it... it says that he retired,
that the Lords gave him

"untouched land
in a fertile river basin."

I mean, it doesn't say where,
but I think I found

the coordinates hidden in the text.

So, he got his 40 acres and a mule,

went on his merry way.

Sounds smart. Pay up.

It doesn't say that he died.

If he were alive, don't you think
we would have sent for him?

He's gone.

Whoa!

She's hiding something.

Which is why we have to go
and look for this guy.

We don't have time to go chasing
after your footnotes, Richard.

We gotta find the next...
thing before it attacks.

Not if it finds us first.

(club dance music playing)

(water splashing)

(frolic and laughter)

(growling)

(snarling)

♪ Oh baby I get high ♪

TANNER: Well...

now that we've gotten a little more
comfortable with each other,

I'd say it's time
we talk about next steps.

(people chattering)

(bell clangs)

(horror movie playing on TV)

Bro! I know you.

You're that Peacekeeper dude.
Tanner warned us about you.

As he should.

(groans)

(panting)

I need office hours with the professor.
Tell me where he's at.

Bro.

(panting)

(groaning)

So like we talked about in school,

all those places are real.

There is an Underworld.

There are creatures beneath.

So, if you're ready to join the team,

I need to know that you're committed
before we do anything else.

I am, Professor.

I'm ready to see the other side.

Well, strap in, buckle up.

We're goin' for a ride.

(snarls)

(deep rumbling growl)

Who the hell let you in here?

Back to your old tricks, huh, Professor?

I didn't even fill her up yet!

(grunts)

(groans)

Hey, now, Ranger.

Treat me like that and we're gonna
have to establish a safe word.

Thanks a lot, asshole! Now
I'll never be on the team!

Nice goin', Gonzalez.

That little Betty there had
a good future ahead of her...

And you just ruined it.

You slippery bastard.

(both grunting)

(snarls)

(bottle shatters)

- I finally... get...
- (groans)

- to make you... pay!
- (groans)

(panting) You might want
to watch your step, Ranger.

(snarling)

(drops falling)

(groaning)

(gasping, panting)

(screaming)

RICHIE: This should be
Ilhicamina's spot.

Right where the Pace
and Lago Vista Rivers meet.

Well, it looks like the rivers
stopped meeting here a while ago.

Guess your magic Mexican
story needs an update.

Maybe they got it.

Gas and toke? I doubt it.

Might as well resupply.

(dog barking)

(bell rings)

(rock and roll playing)

Hey man, are you here
to peruse my merch,

or feel up my art?

Maybe a little of both?

Right on, right on, Mr., uh...

Eduardo Sánchez, eh?

(chuckles) Yeah. Well, my name is Burt,

and I will be your... dispenser today.

What tickles your fancy?

We got Tequila Sunrise...

Nope! Dandelion Paw. (laughs)

Actually, I'm looking
for a very particular strain.

Do you have, uh...

(whispers) Ilhicamina?

I might've caught that once in the '70s.

In those days, we didn't think twice

about goin' bareback,
you know? (chuckles)

Actually, it's been
around for centuries.

OK, just buy an eighth and let's get
outta here, Richard. Come on.

I'm sorry I don't stock
your ganja, but, um...

Free samples. In the back.

Hmm... We love free samples.

We do?

Yeah.

So where did you hear
about this El Camino, anyway?

Ilhicamina. Like I said, goes way back.

Too bad you don't have the hook-up.

STORE OWNER: Even if I did, I bet
you people wouldn't appreciate it.

The true greats are never really
appreciated, but, you're wrong.

Now is when people need them the most.

Look... (sighs)

Now that is some nice jewelry
you got there, Burt.

RICHIE: Sure as shit don't look
like no chicken foot though.

SETH: No, more like a, uh,
trophy a hunter might wear.

(breather heavily)
The hand of a chaneque.

Little toddler-sized bastards
with wrinkly-ass old-man faces.

Freaky-deaky.

And hard as fuck to kill.

Time for you to take your old job back.

What kinda sick shit are you
doing to these kids?

I'm a transformed man, OK, Ranger?

No, you're just a snake.
Same slime. New venom.

Hey, I don't take lives anymore,
all right? I transform them.

Tell that to your late-night snack.

Well, that's just part of the food chain.
Can't help that.

Now tell me what the hell
happened to my student.

He showed up at my apartment,
missing half his neck.

Begging for help.

When was the last time
anybody here saw Hector?

Had to be over a week ago.

Chloe hasn't shown up tonight, either,

and she never misses a party.

TANNER: Take me to him.

Ah! Hector.

I was gonna sneak him into a morgue

in the middle of the night,

do my own investigation.

He staked himself
and he didn't immolate.

And he's got a marking
on the back of his neck.

Same as your meat-head inside.
What does it mean?

He's family.

Family. Nice.

Here, help me out. If we find out

who or what did this to Hector,

maybe we could still save Chloe.

(man whistling)

(continues whistling)

You were gonna do something awful
to me in that alley, weren't you?

Sweetpea, this ain't my first rodeo.

(whimpers)

Hey, hey, hey.

(sobbing)

Hush now. No need to be afraid.

We're gonna get you right
with the world again.

You'll see.

TANNER: These wounds
had to have been made

with proper tools and precision.

The incision is in
the submandibular region,

superior to the digastric muscle.

Oh, Sweet Jesus.

What?

His venom glands were removed.

Why would he do that?

'Cause that's the juice, man.

That's how we reproduce.
That's how we regenerate.

But he's still got fangs.

Yeah, and a neutered dog
still has a pecker.

That doesn't mean it's useful.

Take away the nuts, no pups.

Take away the venom glands, no culebras.

FREDDIE: That's why he didn't immolate.

Ever seen anything like this?

History has. Long time ago,

culebras were terrorized

by a demonic race from... hell.

From Xibalba.

How do you know about Xibalba?

TANNER: This was found
in an abandoned mine shaft

in an unknown border town...

It depicts the hierarchy of Xibalba.

Starting at the top...

you have the demonic royalty...

And then, as we move down,
you've got the dutiful

yet sadistic middle class.
And, underneath it...

the very lowest of the low... our kind.

Sorry, my kind.

Culebras were nothing
but slaves in the Underworld.

They were just meant to serve
the higher beings of Xibalba.

And those that disobeyed were castrated.

Not unlike the Nazis did
sterilizing the Jews.

Or like a plantation owner would do

to an uppity slave. (clicks tongue)

But this guy, this
Xibalban in particular,

he came from hell and took the form
of a ranch hand back in the day.

He's just doing his job, doing
what he thinks he has to do.

Doing what he's done
for thousands of years.

Enforcing. Maintaining the dominance.

And puttin' us back in the place
where he thinks we belong.

All the way down here. At the bottom.

We're nothin' more than cattle
to these things.

Don't... kill... me.

Now why would I go
and do somethin' like that?

(breathing heavily)

(groaning in pain)

'Atta girl. Let her go.

(coughing)

These things are not gonna
to stop, all right?

So we need you to use
your particular set of skills

to help us round 'em up, send 'em back.

Are you wrappin' this up?

Man, that was a... that was a lot
of exposition, you know?

OK, you know what? I'm done askin'.

You come with us, or I put
a hole in your face.

Fine, fine, fine, OK,
but can I take another hit?

- Yeah.
- OK...

(growls)

(groans)

(sighs deeply)

You fuckin' amateurs.

...guys out of my shop. And
never come back. ¿Comprende?

Yes, we comprende, we comprende.

SETH: Hey, wait a second.

Look, if you're not gonna help us,

at least tell us
how to fight these things.

(chuckles)

That would be like, uh, Jimmy Page
telling some schmuck with a ukulele

how to play "Stairway to Heaven."
It ain't gonna happen.

- Ow, my fuckin' eye!
- Too slow, shithead.

- (groans in pain)
- Fuck this. Come on, Richard.

No wonder she told us he was dead.

Who said I was dead?

Venganza's number two.
Also a piece of work.

Ximena. (chuckles softly)

Wait, you know her?

He knows her.

Boys, you cannot win this war,

you can't even start it, unless you know

who the real monsters are.

FREDDIE: So you sayin' this is one?

I don't know. Yes, no, maybe.
It could be.

All I know is that we gotta
get out there and find him.

I mean, can't you... (sighs)

put an A.P.B. out or something?
Do your job?

What, you got a problem?

As a matter of fact, I do.

What?

I don't take orders from a killer.

Oh, God, really? Give me a break.

Fine. Judge me all you want.

I need to get to my kids.

Those aren't your kids!

Those are human beings you turned
into bloodsuckers in a sex den.

Just because you put a stamp
on 'em doesn't make 'em yours!

(grunts) They don't belong to me.
And I don't belong to them.

That stamp means family!

Stop. Stop!

The tattoo.

Yeah?

If that thing saw it
on Hector and Chloe...

He would know how to get
to the rest of them.

I gotta get home.

(door bell rings)

Think you got the wrong house, Tex.

I'd say I found exactly the right house.

(women screaming)

(metal clangs)

(screaming)

Wait, goddammit!

Tanner!

Tanner!

(footsteps approaching)

(snarls)

Howdy.

(vehicle engine starts)

[ vehicle drives away)

When were you gonna tell us?

Tell you what?

That you're full of shit.

And that you're a liar.

I am not a liar.

You told us he was dead.

Ximena.

He's dead to me.

Oh, baby.

You gonna do me like that?

(chuckles)

Well, it has been two centuries.

I guess that wound is still fresh.

Wait, wait a second. You two are...?

Oh, he didn't tell you?

You'll find he forgets a lot of things.

All that smoking fried his brain,
if you can even call it that.

Oh, yeah? He told us that queen,

you know, the one you told us

was also probably a bunch of bullshit,

RICHIE: she's probably the same
crazy bitch who took Kate.

What was her name again?

Amaru.

SETH: You and your boss are gonna
come clean, right now.

We want a meeting with Venganza.

- I don't know where she is.
- I'm sorry, what?

I've got two K-and-R companies
trying to find her, my own boss.

Hey, you really have no idea
where she split to?

She's running scared.

(breathing deeply)

FREDDIE: All right,
where the hell did you go?

I know you gotta be
around here somewhere.

OK, what do you need? You need space...

_

You need privacy...

TANNER: His venom glands were removed.

You need to be in the middle of nowhere.

We're nothin' more than cattle
to these things.

Proper tools for the cattle...

(breathing heavily)

Agua fría...

Agua fria.

TANNER: Chloe.

(breathing heavily)

Looks like I done wrangled me
a den master.

- (groaning)
- Look at you,

spreading that filthy seed
of yours all around.

I'm gonna take my time with you, boy.

Yes, sir.

(groaning)

There, there, little lady.

You still got a little
more love left to give.

(sobbing)

No.

(laughing)

This one on the other hand...

Time for him to join
his brothers and sisters

in doing the Queen's good work.

Welcome to a new life.

- It's time to meet your maker.
- (screaming in pain)

CAPORAL: Yes, sir!

(groans in pain)

(groans) No!

(laughs)

These demons, they were...
they were like her pets...

BURT: Queen Amaru,
when she ruled over Xibalba,

she used them as enforcers.

Every monster had a job.
A horrible, nasty job.

Tell 'em. Tell 'em about her blood.

Tell 'em why she's out there
struttin' around

in that little girl's body.

When the culebra Lords
came to our realm,

Amaru followed them here.

She was incensed that they would call
themselves Lords.

So they tricked her. Lured her
into a trap and killed her.

Which is why she pulled a Corleone,

had all the Lords whacked as soon
as she got her. All right.

That's not all, man.

They feasted on her flesh,

but they saved her blood
because it was so powerful.

Gave it to Lord Oculto for safekeeping.

BURT: He put it in the bloodwell,
and now she's inside Kate.

- What does she want?
- What? No. Fuck that.

How do we get her back?

How do we get it out of her?

You don't. Kate's gone.

(phone vibrating)

What does he want?

Ranger...

What do you mean you found another one?

FREDDIE: Another demon from hell.

Agua Fría Ranch. Outside Houston.

Just get here as fast as you can...

- (snarls)
- Jesus!

(groans)

Help!

(electrical charge)

(groans)

(wincing in pain)

CAPORAL: Peacekeeper!

It's your job to keep these
sons of bitches in line.

(groaning in pain)

That's some job you got.

(breathing heavily)
Someone's gotta do it, right?

Do they?

I'm being rude with this rag on my face.

Trusted the wrong snake, once.
Should've known better.

Son of a bitch went on
and bit me right in the face.

Is that why you torture culebras?

What you call torture, I call salvation.

Why do you think
we take away their venom?

That's their power.

World's gonna need
a few brave souls like us

to help to restore
the natural order of things.

Keep these animals in line,

instead of lettin' 'em run wild.

Go on, now. Take it.

Prove to me you're willing
to keep these snakes in line.

Starting with the professor here.

Wakey wakey.

(groans)

Ranger?

Ranger.

Why, aren't you a sight for sore eyes.

You deserve this...

and I want you conscious
for every little bit of it.

(grunts)

Any last words, you slippery bastard?

(groans)

Get them!

(Tanner grunts)

(bottles shattering)

(tail whiplashes)

I'll kill you with my bare hands
if I have to.

(screams)

Son of a bitch!

(groaning in pain)

(screaming)

Gonzalez! Think fast!

(groans)

Thanks for not, uh, you know,

makin' me a mezzo-soprano
with your little knife back there.

Appreciate it. (sighs)

Just tryin' to keep the peace.

- (rustling)
- Thanks, man.

Step aside.

I see your face healed
nicely after my little kiss.

(screams)

(hisses)

Sometimes, there's only one way
to skin a cat.

Peacekeeper. I've heard a lot about you.
Good stuff.

What the hell are you supposed to be?

Well, I got a PhD in Cultural Studies,

but my friends call me Sex Machine.

Right. (snickers)

Gentlemen.

- Professor.
- Professor.

Burt.

Burt.

- Hey, Burt...
- What?

I already saved your ass once.

Take it easy, man.

You said he was the slave master.
Where are the slaves?

Shit.

They were all in here.

(sighs) She's already taken them.

What are you talking about?

Amaru! If she made these slaves,

then she's gonna... try to open it.

Open what?

The door. To Xibalba. Fuck.

And you wanted to know
what she's gonna do?

She's gonna open that door

and let it all just pour through.

Holy fuck, it's gonna be
hell on earth, bitches.

Hell on earth.

(ground quivering)

(crackling)

(thud)
