Mayans M.C. (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Itzam-Ye - full transcript
Dramatic revelations carve out different paths to vengeance.
- Previously
on "mayans m.C."...
- Anything I can do to help
you or your family.
- The money transfers.
They were used to hire
a gunman to kill my parents.
- Ez knows a hit man
killed marisol.
He was supposed to kill you
too.
- Ez told you this?
- Yes.
He also knows that
the payments came from mexico.
Dita signed the checks.
- I need to know the truth
about what happened
in the desert.
Rebels, adelita, galindo,
palomo, all the pieces.
If not, I'll have ice pick up
felipe reyes.
- Your spanish is colloquial.
You didn't learn it in school.
- That I learned from an angel
in coatzacoalcos.
- Where's that angel now?
- [speaking spanish]
- this is potter
- the irish have nowhere
to bring their guns.
I'm sorry to be dropping
all this shit
in your lap right now but--
- you wanna bring them south.
- Aye.
We have contacts in tijuana.
- The vatos malditos.
- They're coming up here.
- You didn't tell me you guys
got into it with the mayans.
- [speaking spanish]
- hey, nothing's gonna go off
the rails with us here.
You got my word.
[gunfire]
[glass shattering]
- [grunts]
- [speaking spanish]
[gunfire]
- barely got a pulse.
- Call a fucking ambulance!
- Now!
- [groaning]
- you all right, man?
- I can't fucking see.
- Dr. Yee, please report
to radiology.
Dr. Yee.
- I can't believe they
discharged you already.
- [groans]
- two band-aids
and an eye patch.
Not even a fucking lollipop.
- What'd the doc say?
- Got about 60%
in the left eye,
less than 20 on the right.
[cell phone vibrating]
think it should eventually
come back.
Gotta see a specialist,
find out what's up.
- You in pain?
- Not much.
I'm just pissed, carnal.
Want every fucking vato dead.
How's riz?
[machines beeping]
- what's the latest?
- Doc feels good about
the surgery.
He stopped the bleeding,
pulled the fragments.
- Lungs are still fucked,
but, uh,
pretty boy is gonna
pull through this.
- Fuck yeah, he is.
Didn't even mess up his hair.
- [chuckles]
- riz is a warrior.
- Yeah.
- Ramos is on his way down.
Kings will be in santo padre
by morning.

Do you need anything?
- [clicks tongue]
[exhales sharply]
sit.
I fucked us up, hermano.
In this shadow game
with potter--
adelita was right.
I lost sight
of what I already had.
- You did what you had to do,
mikey.
- I did what I wanted to do.
- Hm.
- We never had secrets before.
Right, not like this.
Every lie I tell her,
I can feel it, man.
I get one in return.
- Maybe the same thing happens
with the truth.
Honesty buys honesty.
She loves you, mikey.
You can't fake that shit.
That's not a lie.
- [scoffs]
- I'm sitting down with
the kings in the morning.
- Why?
This is a charter play.
- Yeah, but the deal with
charming impacts the whole mc.
- Bish, they fucking
ambushed us.
Tried to wipe us out
after a sit-down.
- On tribal land.
- I know.
- Let's just get home.
Get some rest.
Put this on the table tomorrow.
- I'll stay with riz.
- I'm with you.
- Good.
Hey, keep us posted.
- [scoffs]
- let's get the fuck
out of here.

- we talked to charming.
Soa is pissed.
Chibs reached out to palo.
I guess the vm see it as
getting their pound of flesh
for what happened
with the migrants.
- What happened with the vatos
in our backyard,
that was outlaw shit.
They took the risk,
they paid the price.
What happened last night,
that was fucked.
They broke every rule.
- I know.
If it was my charter,
I'd be upside-down too.
But we gotta look
at the big picture.
- Vm are the only ones
that can make
this gun transfer work.
Money from those irish weapons
will help fund the charters
that aren't cashing in
on the heroin,
and we owe it to--
- I get it.
- Carnal,
we know what the vatos did
was bullshit,
but if riz pulls through,
we didn't lose anyone.
And the vm sees it
as a settled score.
We move on--
- tell that to my fucking crew.
- Your charter makes the call.
They decide on retaliation,
but if there is...
It becomes a club-wide problem.
And you need to make that clear
at your table
as their president
and as a mayan shot-caller.
- Brother.
- Be safe.
- [speaks spanish]
- prez don't look happy.
[hands patting on backs]
- they heading out?
- Gonna stay at vicky's
till we sort this out.
- What's there to sort out?
- You're a smart man, coco.
You know what's at stake here.
- Yeah.
My fucking eyesight.
This shit don't get better,
I may never ride again.
- We're looking at millions
of dollars in gun revenue
for the entire
mayan organization.
- We're a fucking
corporation now?
That's what happened in there.
Ceos deciding what's best
for mayans incorporated.
[door opening]
I hope that involves
a fucking health plan,
'cause I'm gonna need it.
- Shit.
Oh, my god.
- I'll stay close.
- Mi primo,
see if he has time for me.
- [scoffs]
man, this is fucked.
- With a capital f.
I'll reach out to taza
and creeper
and get their proxies.
We'll vote on retaliation
this afternoon.
- Hey.
He okay?

he's not.
- Pop's on the way.
Needs to talk to us.
- About what?
- History.
That's all he said.
- My worst fucking subject.
- There you go, pop.
- Thanks.
The documents in the lockbox.
Ignacio cortina.
I grew up in a small town
with the galindos.
It was a dirt poor village
about 40 miles north
of hermosillo.
When I was a kid,
my grandmother took in
a bastard galindo's
old man fathered.
Saved the family from shame.
Ostracized by the church.
Jose never forgot.
- Shit.
- 20 years later
I was a federale in sonora.
Anti-drug squad.
One of my first big
undercover stings went bad.
Two innocents were killed.
My career was over.
Jose galindo made it
all go away.
Saved my job.
- You were in his debt.
- And that's where
the shit got complicated.
Now it's your turn.
I know you've been digging
into mom's death.
- Emily told you.
- She came to me with
some information she found,
terrified of what it meant.
- Money transfers.
We know who pulled the trigger.
A nomad, a member
of the north cali sons crew.
Still don't know who hired him.
- What did emily find?
- Bring everything you have--
everything you know--
over to my house tonight.
- Why can't you tell us
right now?
- I made a promise that
all parties would be there.
We all have a different piece
of the puzzle.
- How you gonna get emily
to the house without
galindo knowing?
- I'll figure it out.
I'll let you know what time.

Information about potter.
- It's a woman?
- A woman he loved.
And their child.
- Are you going
to threaten them?
- No.
No, it turns out this woman
was a key witness
in a capital murder case.
One of potter's first big wins
while working with
the mexican government.
- Sleeping with your witness?
- Mm.
- They'd throw out the case
and overturn the verdict.
- That's why
he kept it a secret,
even after his son was born.
- That would fuck
with his mexican tenure.

in this part of the world.

something messy
that might lead back to me.

anything about that.

that day at the indian casino.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You do what you have to.
- Oh, what's that, ez?
Tell miguel I had you
kill someone for me?
Then helped you find out
that he killed your mom?
[cell phone vibrates]
- [scoffs]
- what is it?
- It's potter.
- Why is potter texting you?
- He knows about
ignacio cortina.
He's threatening
to deport my dad.
He wants angel and I
to give him intel on adelita.
He's unraveled about the shit
that went down in the desert.
- Jesus christ.
Does felipe know?
- No.
[engine shuts off]
[exhales sharply]
- if I help you
with your father,
will you promise
to leave my family alone?
- What do you mean?
- I can get you information
about potter
and you can use it against him
as leverage.
- What information?
- You have to promise me, ez.
No matter what you believe
happened to your mother,
you won't hurt miguel.
- What do you have on potter?
- I know miguel wants to use it
to save adelita,
so there's not much time.
Think about it.
Please.
If you want to save
your father, let me know.
Soon.
