Snowfall (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Rubicon - full transcript
This will catch on. Those
two always together.
Not when they rolled up on me.
Just Lenny.
Nah, that can't be right.
(gunshot)
LEON: Don't tell me.
I was there.
It's all destroyed...
The camp, our pipeline.
I have other suppliers
we can use for now.
(camera shutter clicks)
TEDDY: The Colombians?
That's Jess, right?
And him, you know,
Latin Freddie Mercury.
You have the balls to come in
here after running to daddy?
You want me to run.
(speaks Spanish)
We have to talk about what's
gonna happen with the business.
(engine rumbling)
(brakes squeal)
(engine stops, dog
barking in distance)
Thanks for the lift, man,
for letting me crash.
Anytime, my brother.
You give Leon my best.
(zips bag)
If you need to talk,
you know I'm here for you, okay?
(laughs) All right, man. Thanks.
All right. Also...
you got any more of
that crack stuff,
I'd definitely be interested.
I got you.
Rad! (engine starts)
Oh, don't forget.
Up there to the left.
Freeway. All right?
- I remember.
- Don't get lost again!

(door creaks closed)
Still going good, huh?
It's better than good, nephew.
I don't know why you sleepin'
over that white boy house
like we ain't got a
perfectly good couch.
Think you just answered
your own question.
You was out late last night.
You damn right I was.
And look, we got to
re-up on this powder.
No problem.
You got any idea where we
gon' cook up the next batch?
♪♪
I know you ain't just look at my
kitchen like you plan to use.
We gonna rent a place.
Somewhere we can store
it and cook the product.
All right, Louie, I'm-a
put you on that.
Go see Walter. He'll hook it up.
♪♪
Boy, we gotta talk turkey.
I feel like the
product's priced right.
I ain't talkin'
'bout the product.
Now when you first came to me,
you said we was gonna split
this down the middle, 50/50.
Then what you do? Huh?
You turn me away.
I've done all the
heavy lifting, huh?
I'm not giving half away now.
(laughs) You ain't
givin' shit, all right?
Now I'm earnin' it.
You need a partner, not
them little knuckleheads
you be runnin' around with.
You need somebody that know
the game, got some cred.
Set your little
narrow ass straight.
It's my connect, my
product, my process.
I've already got Lee and
Kev to take care of.
(bills rustling)
(sighs) I can give y'all 10%.
- Shit, you trippin'.
- Woman.
40%.
20 and even that's pushin' it.
(bills rustling)
(laughs)
- 25%, we straight.
- Deal.
Yeah! That's my family right there!
Hey?
Move that. I'm-a take a shit.
Y'all gon' keep counting that.
(beads rustle)
(door opens, closes)
(dog barking in distance) Mm.
Ray-Ray thinkin' on it.
Should know soon.
Either way, you're gon'
take care of me, right?
I got you.
What about you? You all right?
You juggling a lot of shit.
You doin' okay?
Mm.
(sighs)
♪♪
I will make this go away. Just
like I said that I would.
But I do need one thing
from you to make it happen.
What? Need you to leave
town for a little while.
How long?
Just a month. Maybe
two at the most.
No. That's not possible.
Look, you saw what she did
with the flyers of Kristin.
Right? This is gonna
be so much worse.
She's gonna go to the cops
if she hasn't already.
And then she's gonna
go to the newspapers
and the evening news and your
face is gonna be everywhere.
In two days, I'm making a
deal with the Colombians.
And if I disappear,
so will they.
You'll have no one
to fly the shipment.
No, I can find another pilot.
And you'll still deal
with the Colombians.
You just won't be
doing it from here.
Or I take care of the
girl and nothing changes.
(utensil clatters)
Look... (sighs)
If she goes missing,
especially now,
after finding this, that's
gonna look terrible.
They'll think she ran away
just like her sister.
No, it is too big of a risk. We're
not there yet. (Utensil clatters)
And what if you're wrong, hmm?
And you can't stop her?
I can control this.
I can. I-I... I'll ramp up
surveillance on her apartment.
I'll put a full
tap on her phone.
I will use all of the company
resources to discredit her
and steer her off the path.
I just need you to please
help me do my job.
Okay.

Remember your cousin
Antonio from San Diego?
Yeah, I remember his breath
stank something awful.
Graduated from San Diego State.
Business and accounting.
You're doing this now?
You said you were fine.
And just because your
father has passed away
does not mean business stops.
It's not stopping.

Talk to me.
Tulf fired me.
What?
W-why?
I called his ass out.
Told him to put me on
them Westside properties
like he'd been promisin'.
Said things had changed,
that he needed to sell it.
(chuckles) That I'd have
other opportunities.
I don't know exactly
what happened then.
I just know I saw red, and
I went after him and...
(sighs) When it was done,
I was bein' tossed out.
Fuck Tulfowitz.

And all the shit he
put you through.
Fuck him.
This is a good thing.
- This is a good thing?
- Mm-hmm.
That was my job, Franklin.
You'll get another job.
One that deserves you.
Where? Doin' what?
I killed myself trying
to make that man happy,
and now I just
threw it all away.
Tulf ain't gonna give
me no references.
There's bills and
then the mortgage.
You ain't gonna worry about
any of that anymore, Mom.
Huh?
