Snowfall (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - Episode #5.5 - full transcript

- Hey.
- Mm-hmm. Sure...

- Hope you're feeling better.
- If so...

Tried to get you
that fancy shit you like.

It's the downtown property,

- Okay?
- Oh, shit.

Have a courier send
the paperwork over.

We'll take a look,
get right back to you.

Of course. Talk soon.

- We got it?
- We got it.

yeah.

Mmm. Mmm.



Let's not get too ahead
of ourselves, though, huh?

We still got a marathon to run.

First thing we need to do is
get the earnest money in place.

- They want it in escrow
by next week.
- All right.

I'll start the process of
transferring the panama funds.

Thank you.

It's not just our money
needs moving.

uh, this all come
with a translator?

I know it seems like a lot,

but it's the same deal
Franklin and I get,

just a different
ownership stake.

I gave the folks
at banco de Panama

the heads-up
you'll be contacting them.

All you got to do is ask
for Rogelio Perez.



He'll transfer the money
to the cayman account.

Other than that,
all you got to do,

sign where it's marked.

Franklin.

We never said we would invest.

We said we'd think about it.

Well, yeah. I gave you all
a chance to think about it.

Now it's time
to pull the trigger.

Ten million going
through the door

ain't like no trigger
I ever pulled.

Yeah, you know, I get it.

It's a lot of money.

If it'll make y'all
comfortable,

I'll lower the investment
to five million. How's that?

And we wouldn't even need
the full amount today.

We're still in for an arduous
due diligence process.

Inspections. Appraisals.

These things take time.

Right now, all we need is
ten percent of the final amount.

Ten percent.
Come on, you got that.

- I see them earrings.

look, I know there's been
some static between us lately.

I know.

There's no reason
to let it affect business.

- You know that.
- This is not about you and me.

Then what's it about?

We got our own plans, nephew.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Yeah. I mean, I respect that.

I respect that. I'm just...

You know, I want you to be
a part of this.

You can still be a part of this.

I'm just trying to look out,
as always.

Well...

We're glad you got
your own dreams.

We are.

But they're not ours.

All right.

All right.

♪ ♪

- Franklin.
- Stubborn motherfuckers.

Letting ego get in the way
of good sense.

So they don't want to be
a part of it, that's okay.

And they wait till now
to tell me?

Without that money,
we're pushing all our chips

into the middle on this one, V.

Fuck.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, it's time.

- Breathe in with me.

this building is gonna work.

And I've built in contingencies
for squeaky wheels,

and palms, and anything else
that needs greasing.

I don't think you should give up
on your family just yet.

Even if I go back in there,
she ain't gonna listen to me.

No, but Louie may just need to
hear things from someone else.

Hmm?

♪ ♪

oh.

put this...

Thank you so much, mama.
I appreciate that.

Thank you.

The one with the braids
remembered me.

She wanted to know if I was here
to see "the handsome man" again.

handsome?

There's nothing to worry about,
cissy.

We're just two friends
having coffee.

Okay.

so what's the first step?

Place this in Franklin's office,

and we can take it from there.

I agreed to do this
because of Teddy McDonald.

Yes, and this is how we get him.

By bugging my son?

Teddy McDonald is just one man.

The CIA has ten more lined up
waiting to take his place.

Our goal-- my goal--

is not only to get rid of teddy

but to make sure no one can
come after your family

when he's gone.

That starts with knowing
everything we can

about their business.

Hmm? Gun runners. Drug dealers.

Offshore accounts.

Cissy, I want you to feel
that you can speak your mind.

capturing and killing teddy
is one thing.

Recording my son talking
about illegal activity

is a motherfucking other.

I may not be
an intelligence officer, Ruben,

but I've been around
long enough to know

that whatever agency
you work for is not in it

just to get me help
to find answers and revenge.

You're right.

You're right. I mean,
I totally understand.

Ana said you wanted to move
things quickly,

but the truth is
you don't even know me,

and it is not a small thing
I'm asking for.

- I am happy to slow things down

if that will make you feel
more comfortable.

Alton went about this
the wrong way,

and it nearly destroyed
our family.

I will not make
the same mistake.

I want teddy,

but not at the risk
of betraying my son.

I understand. Truly, I do.

Cissy, I have no intention
or interest

in hurting your son. Hmm?

But without knowing everything
I can about his business,

I can't get you what you want.

I'll tell you what.

You don't have to put it
in the office,

but take the pen.

And whatever you do with it
is up to you.

fetu.

- Peaches called in sick.
Hello.

You offer sick days now?

Got to look after your people,
man.

Otherwise, they'll sneak
behind your back.

And Louie and Jerome?
What's that situation?

It's a situation.

Oso! Get over here, man.

Fuck!

Aw, shit.

car's dying.

We need to get off the road.

Looks worse than it is.

Fantastic. Let's get the fuck

Wait, wait, wait. Help me.

Here. Yeah.

Yeah, that's okay.

- sorry, man.
- Oh, it's okay.

How much can you carry?

Pos a ver.

Ah, fuck.

Can't walk around too long.

Three million in cash.

Let's stay off the main streets.

- Find a pay phone. All right?

Gang marks.

Take it they're not
friends of yours?

No, and I lost my gun.

Hold on. Fuck.

No bullets.

Let's roll.

♪ ♪

ooh.

♪ ♪

who were they?

I don't know.

Recognize the car?

People that do drive-bys

don't pull up in they own rides,
Oso.

You got to know your enemies,
mijo.

Yeah, well...

People in my way these days
wear Armani suits.

¿cómo sabían que we'd be here?

They followed you.

Maybe they followed you.

Me?

how you know that?

Because I have the fucking CIA
in my car, pendejo.

Well, the fucking CIA just
pulled off in your car, too.

Any idea why
he'd ditch us like that?

Got shot. Yo lo vi.

I saw it.

How bad?

Sepa.

Didn't look good.

What about durazno?

El peaches.
He wasn't here today.

Like I told teddy, he's sick.

Sick? Ah.

Qué cagado.

You sure?

Look, man, let's just
find this phone.

All right?

I appreciate y'all taking
the time to talk with us.

Franklin, he felt badly
about how things went.

He had to meet with teddy,
otherwise he would've been here.

I don't need you
to apologize for him.

And I also don't need
to be out here,

having the same conversation
twice, sweating my edges out.

It's not the same conversation,
Louie.

And I'm not trying to convince
you to work with Franklin.

there'll never be any future
for any of us

as long as we're
in this drug game.

Y'all know that.

Real estate isn't just
a path to legitimacy.

It's a path to a life
where you don't have to...

- ...Live in fear,

wondering when
the ground is gonna drop

from beneath your feet.

I don't need you to invest
with Franklin.

I'm just asking you
to think of an end.

Make some plans.

'cause this...

This empire
you all are building...

...It's gonna crumble.

Hey. I'll be right back.

the casting director
was totally into it.

Yeah, she had her tits hyped up
and everything.

How much longer
are you gonna need?

Oh, it's a guaranteed
blockbuster.

Y'all niggas need to put
your minds right.

Find ways to use white laws

I'm having lunch with my family.

Check the ladies.

Ma'am, I need you to stand.

I'm not asking again, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

He was right next to me.
