Mayans M.C. (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Cucaracha/K'uruch - full transcript
New secrets are brought to light, putting the M.C. at odds.
FELIPE: Previously
on Mayans M.C...
I'm your grandmother, kid.
Do the bastard math.
You see this?
She stole the fucking
car from Grandma.
P.D.'s looking for a felon.
Of course she did.
(suspenseful music)
JIMENEZ: Your partner?
FELIPE: Pedro the Thorn.
- He make it out?
- I don't know.
Don't know if he
wanted to get out.
If you don't trust me by
now, Adelita, you never will.
I need to know everything.
GALINDO: Prep the money.
MAN: I understand
this is inconvenient,
but we need to check that baby.
♪ ♪
- (baby fussing)
- Mr. Galindo,
don't make this
worse than it is.
BISHOP: We'll keep
Angel and Coco close
a couple more weeks.
Prove to Alvarez there's
no fucking mole at our table.
Bishop thinks Coco's
the fucking mole.
That's why he's
been separating us.
Where's Coco now?

Alvarez say why the family
was at the Calexico checkpoint?
BISHOP: All Devante told
him was that Galindo got pulled
into a back room
by Border Patrol.
No one's telling him shit.
- Feds?
- Feels like it.
(door closes)
Sorry, I was hoping
I'd get a minute.
I got to tell you something.
What's going on?
It's, uh...
It's fucking tricky.
Now, I don't want to...
You know, if I...
Telling you this makes
me feel like a snitch.
With all the shit going on,
if I don't say
something, then I...
Fucking say it, Angel.
(sighs, clears throat)
Last week, at the Reed ranch,
we went after Dennis
and chased him onto Riz's land.
About 50 yards
in, we hit soft earth.
Gilly dropped into a hole.
That's why we lost Dennis.
What kind of hole?
We thought it was a fox
den or a sinkhole at first,
but we checked it
out a few days later.
It was an old tunnel.
Abandoned.
But it led to another tunnel,
an active one.
Working lights.
Fresh prints.
A tunnel to where?
Southern end led
to a locked hatch
about a half mile into Mexico.
The other end led
to a storm cellar...
At the Ariza house.
Vicki's place.
Bishop, I'm sorry we didn't...
I'm sorry we didn't tell
you about this right away.
You know, we were
just trying to figure out
the right thing to do.
The shit spinning
with the rebels,
Galindo worrying about a mole...
we knew this could
throw a lot of heat at Riz.
You did the right thing.
We'll figure it out.
For now...
we should just
keep it in this room.
Yeah.
Okay.

Right.

We sold our soul to the cartel.
