Snowfall (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Pocket Full of Rocks - full transcript

Andre is forced to ask for Franklin's help. Julia proposes a new plan to Teddy. Gustavo clears the way for his own vision.

Something is happening in my
neighborhood.

There's more money
on the streets...

- (GUNSHOT)
- ...more shootings.

- (LAUGHS)
- (SHOUTS)

It's called "rock."

What are you doing?

ANDRE: Getting you packed up,
taking you to school.

JULES: You think
bringing our child

into the middle of this is safe?

I can keep you both clear of
the more dangerous parts of it.

- Hi.
- TONY: Who exactly is Teddy McDonald?



He also went under an alias:

"Reed Thompson."

Track him down,

you'll find out
what happened to my agent.

HERNAN: We might not be able
to leave after all.

He threatened to kill me.

I'll go to school.

Come on. I only got
one more night left with you.

Let's do it.

Why would she run away now?

I'm supposed to drive her

You can't get much farther away

Did she have a boyfriend?

No.

ANDRE: Anything at all.

I know if I was leaving
to go to college,

after I'd done everything that
everybody had ever asked of me,

including holding down a job
my senior year,

getting all "A" s,

I'd appreciate if my pops
cut me a bit of slack.

She stole my car,
and I found it stripped.

Looks like signs of a struggle.

You still want to talk
about slack?

Look, I'm hoping that
you got a better read

- You think Mel too good to smoke rock?
- You think Eva's

- too good to smoke rock?
- Eva's ass ain't with Wanda.

- Eva went to church this morning.
- That's what I'm saying.

Eva and Mel are strong,
and that's why they're friends.

Wanda,
she's always been fucking weak.

I called Wanda everything
but a child of God,

but one thing she ain't is weak.

Man, what you think,

What you mean, real to me?

I know that shit hurt you,

- Yeah, and if Mel is with her ass,

then she gone, too.

Well, maybe you're right.

Maybe I ain't over her.

♪ I found somebody who knows ♪

♪ How to get home ♪

♪ Before the break of day ♪

♪ And, oh... ♪

♪ I fell asleep one time... ♪

Get the fuck up out of here, Wanda.

This shit faker than
a three-dollar bill.

No, no, no, this is real gold.

I'll give you a rock for it.

A rock?!
Man, come on, man.

You-you know
how good this'll look

around your girl neck.

- Come on! Oh...
- I said I'll give you a rock.

- I can call you at this number, right?
- WANDA: Fuck you!

Okay, baby,
I'll call you, I'll call you.

So, what's up, Mel?

What the fuck you gon...?

Give me the fucking necklace.

Hey, homey...

I'm sorry.

I didn't want
this shit to be true.

- Mel.
- (GASPS) Franklin?

Franklin!

(LAUGHS):
I'm so happy to see you.

Oh, I like it
when you take charge.

Oh, Franklin...

Whoa. Whoa. Franklin.

(LAUGHING): Where we going?

- We're going home.
- Why are we going home?

I was having fun.

Franklin, Franklin, I miss you.

I missed you so much.

Oh! Oh! Bye, girl!

Ooh, I like to touch.

What? Lee?

What up, Lee?

You came to see me, too?

(PANTING): Oh. Damn.

I forgot something.
I'll be right back.

- No, no.
- Franklin, wait!

- Why don't you just relax?
- You're coming with us.

- That's out.
- Baby, why don't you just relax?

Wait. Wait.

Hey! Fuck! Let me go back!

Franklin, let me go back!

Why don't you... Franklin!

What the fuck
is your problem! No!

- Get in the fucking...
- Damn! What the fuck

is your problem?!

Franklin, fuck!

You never let me have
any fucking fun!

Hate this shit!
(SOBBING)

You never let me have
any fun in here!

You never let me have any fun.

(MELODY LAUGHING)

Are you mad?

You mad at me now.

I'm in trouble.

Uh...
(LAUGHS)

(STARTS ENGINE)

You're a fucking asshole,
Franklin.

(LAUGHS)

Muévese.

(CHILDREN SCREAM)

(BYSTANDERS SPEAKING SPANISH)

Run away with me.

(SNICKERS)

With the duffel bags or without?

You're serious?

Do you remember our first date?

- (CHUCKLING)
- What?

Don't do that.

- Don't, dude...
- You take me horseback riding

in...
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

except you don't want
to horseback-ride.

The horse was crazy.
It wouldn't listen to anyone.

- In English or in Persian.
- (LAUGHS): And so you decide

to follow behind on foot.

In my defense,

no one told me that horses
kick backwards.

Who doesn't know horses
kick backwards?

Goddamn thing
could've killed me.

(JULES LAUGHS)

And despite having
a bruised sternum...

when you realized I'd been
thrown off... (LAUGHING)

you were overwrought.

Overwrought?

- That's-that's not my way.
- (LAUGHING)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh...

For weeks I couldn't figure out
if it was, um, sexist or...

if you were the nicest guy
I'd ever met.

And after...

a few months, uh...

I didn't care.

Because I was in love.

After everything
we've been through,

I didn't think
I could feel like that again.

I was wrong.

You said you want it all.

Well, I'm offering you
the chance to have it all.

Me, Paul... us.

And the job, of course.

Just not here.

Yeah, but I can't leave here,
Jules, you know that.

I think you can, Teddy.

Money for the Contras
is pouring in.

The arms sale in Taiwan.

Cash from the Middle East.

The Saudis alone
are contributing

a million dollars a month.

You've done enough here.

You've risked enough.

Shit, Teddy. (SIGHS)

There are other ways to serve.

Like where?

You know Spelman is named
after a white woman?

Rockefeller's wife.

Thanks for the ride.

So... I guess this is it, hmm?

At least until Christmas break.

What happened to your necklace?

I must have lost it
at the party.

Hey, you gonna miss me?

Jesus Christ.

- Hey, Mel, hey.
- (CAR DOOR OPENS)

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Hey. Oh, my God, Jesus Christ.

Oh, you had me worried sick.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay. I'm just... Can we talk about this later?

ANDRE: Hell no,
we can't talk about it later.

MELODY: Daddy, I'm tired.
I have a headache

and I just need some rest.

ANDRE: The fuck?

Where did you find her?

If I was you...

I wouldn't let that girl
out of my sight.

(DOOR CLOSES)

What the fuck just happened?

Hold on.

Hey! What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

It means I don't want
to talk about it.

Don't want to talk about it?

Mel. Melody.

What happened?

Is she okay?

No.

She on the rock now.

ANDRE: Melody Nicole Wright.

You'd better answer me
when I'm talking to you.

(PANTING)

Daddy, where's my fucking
money?!
