Reservation Dogs (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - I Still Believe - full transcript

Hello wind ♪

Haven't seen you in years ♪

Have you been out ♪

♪ On the plains
with the others... ♪

By the time I'm a senior,

I hope I have my license

so we can cruise around
and do nothing,

instead of walk around
and do nothing.

Truly love another... ♪

Next thing is...

Been making mistakes ♪



Costing the game... ♪

...I want go to California
for spring break.

Way I ♪

Think... ♪

Always wanted to see those
weird trees with spikes.

I've always wondered
if they were sharp

and if coconuts
grew on all of them.

How did people first know
you could eat a coconut?

Anyways,

what I'm trying to say is

I want to go to Cali
with my crew.

Bear, Willie Jack and Elora--

we'll all be about to graduate.

We could bust Cheese out
for the weekend.



Maybe by then,
Elora will like me back.

Even if she doesn't,

we'll still be homies.

No one in the world
laughs like her.

I can't wait to see
the smile on her face

when she sees the ocean.

- Fuck, just turn it.

- Yeah, turn it.
- I'm turning.
- Stop turning.

All right, all right,
all right, let's do this.

Let's split up.
Y'all go look for the keys

on the bus.
Cheese, you're lookout. Sko.

Hey, bro, in and out,
in and out.

Fuck, bro, watch
for needles, man.

Okay, where is it?

Fuck would they
put these keys, bro?

Smells like
fucking shit in here.

Hey. One of those
opens the gate.

No.

Hey, girl.

Fuck, we need a code.
Try 1491.

Oh, fuck, okay.

Um... try 6969.

- Oh, fuck. Okay.

Fuck. Ooh.

Yo.

Keys.

Got 'em, bro.
Go, sko, sko.

Fuck. Think, think. Uh...

What the fuck?

Whoa.

Yá'àt'ééh.

Hi, Kenny Boy.

You're here for the car?

Yeah.

We need it to go to California.

California.

Wow.

The code is 1831.

The year Sitting Bull was born.

You're just... you're just
gonna let us take it?

You know...

...it's been a weird
last few days.

Pay what you owe when the time

is right, in this lifetime

or the next.
And if in the next,

I'm a horse,
you can pay me in oats.

And if I'm a cow,

milk me gently.

Safe travels, Elora Danan,

and your elvish friend.

I shouldn't say elvish,
it's just the blonde hair.

I'm assuming
it's not natural, but...

I shouldn't assume,
it-it could be.

Sometimes, the roots
go from dark to blonde.

Just be safe out there.
Use your blinker.

Potholes are the devil.

Oh, there they are.

Look at them go.

Shugmanitu tanka owaciyelo.

Yeah. Bye.

Yeah, this is it.

Hey, streets is hard out there.

- Don't get shot up.
- For real.

Man, we almost
got shot up out there.

Word?

Yeah, we just hid
behind the tall people.

- Hey, you got
your medicines?

- You already know.
- For sure.

Remember, gluten-free
just means no bread.

And don't eat the barbecue
unless it's Korean.

And, uh, don't buy
farmers market sage.

- Mm.
- It give you bad luck,

- stinky pits, and foot fungus.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- And let your boys know
if you get caught up,

we got lots
of friends out there.

Hey, um,

be safe.

Safer than we were.

For real.

Might actually
make it this time.

We'll be back.

Bet.

- Later, fuckers.
Later, shitass.
- I'll see your shitass later.

White Steve, don't cry, bro.
You're gonna make me cry, bro.

- Safe travels.
- You too, man.

- Y'all be safe.

-
Hushwas!
- Hushwas.

Love you, bitches.

- Oh, fuck!
- Ooh.

That can't be good.

Life's hard.

One of the hardest.

- Look at this little shitass.

Yeah, it's just a straight shot

- from here, right?
- Word. See that turn up there?

Don't take it.

Just go straight.
Follow the sun, bro.

How long's it gonna take
for us to get there?

Take a couple days.

Shut your eyes, bro,

and then we'll be there.

Nah, I can't.
I'm too excited.

Fuck, me too.

Damn, man,
how crazy is it to know

what Daniel was thinking
back then?

- Shit.
- For real.

Especially his unrequited love
for Elora.

- That was a shock.

- Little plot twist.
- Fuck you talking about?

- Nothing ever even happened.
- Bro, come on, man.

We all knew, bro.

- Fuck yeah,
we knew.

You didn't
fucking know anything.

Come on.

I didn't know.
I thought you guys were cousins.

- Cousins.
- Uh, no.

Only through marriage, bro.

Not like they're
from the same clan or anything.

Nah, but for real, though,

I'm happy we're getting you
to Cali, man.

It's not about me.

-
We read that letter.
- Yeah.

Daydreaming about you all day,

- smiling at the ocean.
- It's not...
It's not about me,

it's about all of us
going to Cali,

together, for Daniel,
'cause he can't.

- For the bro.
- Yeah.

What are we gonna do
when we get out there?

Go to the ocean, bro.
Haven't you been listening?

Well, yeah, I know,
we're gonna go to the ocean,

but, like, are we just
gonna sit there or...

Why don't we just...
put this in the ocean?

You know? Kind of like what
y'all did with Jackie's stuff.

But that was to get rid
of something, though.

Yeah, yeah, I-I know that,
but, like,

this is kind of like
a piece of Daniel, you know?

And, like, putting him
in the ocean

is always something
he wanted to do.

And after that,

the world's our oyster.

Whatever the fuck that means.

Hm.

- Good thinking, bro.
- Yeah.

- Real tradish.
- It's very intuitive.

Young elder.

What does an oyster mean, though?

Like a...
another word for a clam.

- Isn't it like,
- Is it really a clam?

chips or something?

The world's your Indian taco.

Ooh. I like that one.

That one sounds nice.

Can we get some
Flamin' Flamers now?

Fuck, I'm hungry.

♪ It seemed that
you're dead. ♪

Holy fuck!

Here you guys go.

Damn, with that stack, bro.

Roofing paying the big bucks.

- Thank you.
- You solid, bro.

I put money in there, too.

Wow.

And now, for some
words of wisdom.

Never whistle at night,
for if you do,

you shall lose a testicle.

And remember,

the journey is never over,
but always beginning.

Deposit more money now
for more wisdom.

Aho. (speaking Native language)

"The path that you are on
is unsure.

You must pave new ways,
or you'll probably die."

Fuck.

Stupid shit.

♪ Well, I sure take it
with me wherever I go ♪

Dope.

- Ugh, Cheese!
- Cheese, man!
- Cheese!

Man, what the fuck
you been eating, bro?

That's fucking deadly, man.

Fuck, I could just seagull

a fat burger right now.

- Coney and tater tots for me.
- Yeah.

It's a taco shack.

Yeah, shit, brother,
they ain't got rez food here.

- Smells like shit.
- Fuck it, L.A., bro.

Ooh.

Rough day?

No, we just got into town.

Been driving for a while.

Where you from?

The rez, man.

What's the rez?

Usually isolated,

economically depressed,

big dreams,
not a lot of opportunities.

Kind of a food desert.

Hm.

Guess I'm from the rez, too.

I'll give you a minute.

Thank you.

L.A. people are nice.

Fuckin' A.

- We're here.
- Fuck yeah, man.

It's like you can
smell salt everywhere.

Just your upper lip, bro.

- Yeesh.

We should eat quick

and head to the beach
before the sun goes down.

Or could we get a hotel room
tonight and

sleep in a nice bed,

you know? Get some rest,

watch some TV, get a shower.

Yeah, but, honestly,

I think it's best if we just
slept inside the car.

Like, save money.

Yeah, won't be comfortable,

but Bear's right.

Well, fuck, you guys better not
be tearing rags all night.

I sleep with my mouth open.

- Yeah, Cheese.
- What-what's the...

"chi-la-quil-ees"?

"Chile roll-leno."

We're by the ocean,
they got to have catfish, right?

Oh, money's in the glove box.

I'll go.

- Wow, that's messed-up.
- Yeah.

What the fuck?

Fuck, man.
Like, that was literally

- all of our money.
- The snacks.

Fuck.

Daniel's letter.

Fuck.

- Should we report it?

No, we can't report it.

If we do, they're gonna arrest
us and bring us back home.

Gonna have to call your dad, Bear.

I'm not calling my fucking dad.

What else are we gonna do, Bear?

Just let me think.

Hurry up.
Fuck, who cares.

Fine, fine.
Fuck it, fine.

I'll just fucking
call this douchebag.

You have reached a number

that has been disconnected
or is no lon...

Disconnected.

Just...
I can't do this shit.

It's an unfortunate event,
what just happened here.

White Jesus?

Wait,

you seen what happened?

Yeah, man.

Guys in suits.

Gangsters or... Mormons.

Gacked it.

Aho, White Jesus,
which way's the beach?

Mountains are uphill,
beach is down.

Fair enough. Sko.

You-you shan't go it alone.
Thy beach

is ten miles from here.

Thoust don't know what these

L.A. neighborhoods are like.

Made a promise to Daniel.

I'm gonna see it through.

Yeah, let's go, come on.

Can you take us there?

You would have me,
thy humble servant,

guide thee to the beach?

Yeah, sure.

Let us go, then.

- All right.
- Come on.

He is the way.

And the truth

and the light.
Don't you forget it.

You fucking serious?

We're gonna go with White Jesus?

- Yeah, bro.
- Yeah.

Come, now.

- Okay.
- Body of me?

Say no more, man.

Peace be with you.

What's up, brothers and sisters?

Greetings.

Do you just know everyone here?

For the most part.
My last place wasn't this nice.

Watch out for Phillip,
he has a low blood sugar thing.

It's a long story.
There's food everywhere.

Salmon, cake.

Watch thou step.

Brothers.

Brethren. Sistren.

Yes.

Here we are.

Thoust can take the mattresses.
I prefer the hard ground.

Uh, I do have a couple
of foldy chairs. You can

figure out your
sleep situations. Um...

I do have one toothbrush. Uh...

It's kind of multipurpose,
but you're all welcome to it.

Please, for the love
of all things holy,

keep your hands off of my

metal detector,
and, yes, come in.

Come in to thine stable.

Ah. Mm.

Ah... All right.

Hey.

We can't just stop.
We kind of got to go

to the beach.

- We can't stay here.
- Fuck no, bro.
- I know, bro.

Ah, you're far better off
here than you are

out there on your own at night.

Listen, the beach is five miles

straight down this road.

In the morning,
I'll take you there myself.

Okay?

Please.

All right, yeah.
Fuck it, we'll stay.

Just for the night, okay?

We'll stand guard, all right?

We'll take shifts.
Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I mean, everyone
knows him for Lost Boys,

but he did Thunderdome, too,
and he toured

with Tina Turner for years.

Is that the guy in the diaper?

No, that's, um, Ton Ton Tattoo.

Oh. Wait, so there's
two sax players

- in Thunderdome?
- No, Tim Cappello

wasn't in the movie.

He-he just did the song
in the credits.

Oh. Got it.

Daniel showed me that movie.

- Which one?
- Both, actually.

Same.

He was my hero, you know?

Tim Cappello?

No. Uh, Daniel.

Um, it just seemed like
he could do anything, you know?

Me too.

I think the same about you,
you know?

: Really?

Yeah. I mean,

it just seems like,
anytime we get into trouble,

you just know what to do.

That's fucking stupid, Cheese.

I have no idea
what to do right now.

If anyone can make it out,

it'd be you.

- LAPD! Let's go!

Shit. Better get the fuck up.
Get the fuck up.

- Fuck up.
- What the fuck's
going on?

Mm, I was dreaming, bro.

- Cops are here, bro.
- What?

- Come on, we got to go.
- What... what time is it?

- Oh, shit.

- Move! Let's go! Go!

Where's White Jesus?

Fucking dipped out on us
hella long ago, bro.

Uh, he'll forever
live on in our hearts.

Guys,

I can't go any further.

You guys go on without me.

Fuck, Cheese, man. Come on, bro,
we're almost there.

- You said that, like,
four hours ago, bro.

Just admit it, you don't know
where we're going.

We're just following
the directions

- of White Jesus, Willie Jack.
- Yeah.

The fuck?

That motherfucker
was walking fast as shit.

Can't stay here.

Don't want to get picked up
by some white lady

who likes ranch dressing
on her dinner rolls.

Yeah. Exactly.

Elora, you have some
really, really specific fears.

Wait.

What?

- You guys hear that?

Yo.

It just... keeps going.

It's like
a big-ass lake that never ends.

Unreal.

(sighs) Skoden.

- Skoden.
- Ooh.

Come on, bro.

You got to put your feet
in the sand. Feel it.

Nope.

I know what we came here
to do, but...

I don't want
to let him go, Bear.

Hey.
Hey, Elora, we're not.

It's...

it's the pain.

That's what we're letting go.

It's got us stuck.

Just imagine

how happy Danny would be
seeing us live our lives.

Finally in Cali.

- Ready?
- Uh, yeah.

Okay.

What now? Without the letter?

She's a good girl ♪

Loves some aunties ♪

Loves White Jesus ♪

And America, too... ♪

Hey, trust us, this works.

Loves her horses and... ♪

Fuck, I can't remember the rest.

It's all good, bro.

Hey, Cheese.

Why don't you say a prayer?

You're good at it.

Little long, but...
go for it, bro.

- You got this.
- Uh...

Okay.

Um, well...

He/She...

Hers/His/They...

genderless being,

we're here for
our friend Daniel.

Um...

well, we just wanted this moment
to be significant.

Like in the movies.

Like in NeverEnding Story when

the wind blows down
to the basement, and

Bastian realized
that he's been reading

about himself, but, like,

his inner-self
was actually Atreyu,

- and...
- Cheese.

Sorry.

Keep going, bro.

We didn't get to say goodbye
to you, Daniel.

And, um...

you know what?
To be honest, I've been...

kind of mad at you.

You're my hero, man.

Now you're not here
to make things right or better.

And Willie Jack,

she cares for
her family members.

And now she's lost a brother,

cousin, friend.

And Bear...

he lost his best friend.

Now, a whole piece
of him's missing.

And Elora...

she lost her hope.

Whenever she looked
into the future,

she'd see you there, man.

You're our brother.

Remember you for all the
good things we've done together.

And we're out here for you, man.

We just hope we're doing
the right thing.

Cheese.

I love you, bitches.

Fucking love you guys.

Let's go all the way in.

Yeah?

Coming?

I'm scared of what's in there.

Fuck, man, me too, bro.

I won't let you drown.

Fucking hell!

- Shit!

It's freezing!

We did it.

In the stinta ♪

Gray and white salmon ♪

Swim upstream... ♪

Told you you'd
make it here, Daniel.

Yellow underneath... ♪

- Love you, bitch.
- Love you, bitch!

So, what do we do now?

Gonna find out
where the fuck my car is.

I owe Kenny Boy,
got to bring it back.

My uncle Cvto lives
on a rez nearby.

Maybe he can help us.

I'm not going back.

- Follow me.

Blessed are those
who have not seen

and yet still believe.

I still believe.

Oh, I still believe ♪

Oh, I still believe ♪

Pick it up ♪

As we go along ♪

I still believe ♪

Through the shame ♪

And through the grief ♪

Through the heartache ♪

Through the tears ♪

Through the waiting ♪

Through the years ♪

For people like us ♪

In places like this ♪

We need all the hope ♪

That we can get ♪

Oh, I still believe! ♪
