Snowfall (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 8 - Celebration - full transcript

.

I go from war to war,

whereas a man like you
has the war inside.

Veronique:
You said you could keep me safe,

but you can't.

I have to keep some
distance from you

until you're actually free
from all this.

I'm trying
to help you, Franklin.

You want to help me?
Help keep the peace!

Instead of making
everything worse.

(door slams)



DEA! Hands up!

Lorena:
Do you understand
what you're looking at?

Multiple homicides.

Conspiracy.
Trafficking and distribution.

Tony:
We've been instructed to

shut down every facet
of this operation

- and walk away.
- Black diamond: We're
hearing another name.

Some o.G. Motherfucker
just got out the pen.

Name's Kane.

Kane:
You didn't shoot

and kill my baby brother?

We can come at you
at any time, any place.

Does it look like I'm fucking
hiding, little nigga?

Buckley:
Once you press that button,
there's no turning back.



Are you sure
you want to do this?

Do it.

Jerome:
I need to make some changes.

Will you marry me?

(laughs)

(tires screech)

it's been a while.

How you been?

Been a time.

I heard you got shot.

Heard you were, too.

And here we both are.

Maybe someone up there likes us.

Mm.

I tried your pager
before Gustavo’s.

Teddy:
Oh, yeah, that's probably
the old number.

What, uh...

...What can I do for you?

I want to buy directly from you.

I feel like we did good business
for a long while there

when Franklin was hurt.

Franklin know about this?

No.

I considered going
to the Colombians.

Better the devil
you know, right?

♪ ♪

(ducks squawking)

do you have the recordings?

I told you my son
wasn't an option.

The man teddy and the CIA
are the problem.

And Franklin is the answer.

In the end only he can
bring your enemies down.

And if you refuse
to help us gain access...

...Well, then, I'm afraid we
have nothing left to talk about.

There's gonna be a wedding.

My brother and his girlfriend.

Friends and family
will be invited, of course.

But the decision was made
to also include

certain key business associates.

Lest they feel left out.

How soon?

They want it to happen quickly.

Next month,
while the weather's still warm.

I'd like to know

everything you can tell me
about this event.

Mr. Kane?

Kane:
Baby,

you can just call me Kane.

May I sit down?

Mm.

(exhales)
thank you.

My name is veronique turner.

I'm Franklin saint's girlfriend.

I'm also having his child.

Why the fuck are you here?

Could you please put
that cigarette out? For me?

For you.
(chuckles)

okay.

I was at that restaurant
your men lit up.

I want to know
if I can stick around

or if I should go visit
my mother back east.

(chuckles)

yeah, Franklin ain't tell you
we all kissed and made up?

Mm-hmm. He did.

I'm here to ask you
if that's true.

And like I said...

I told Leon I'd make the deal.

I intend to keep my word.

So me and my baby

will be safe?

You ain't got a damn thing
to worry about from me.

Mm.

Hey.

- That tailor?
- Louie: Mm-hmm?

- Making magic.
- Mmm.

When's it gonna be done?

- Next week.
- Ooh.

(laughs softly)

gives us another week
for alterations.

Mm-hmm.

How's everything going
with the wedding planning?

(exhales)
so good. Keisha is a godsend.

She locked down
the location and the caterer.

And she got this
chocolate fountain.

You can dip fresh strawberries.

What about the band?

Eh, that's a little bit
more tricky,

'cause all the good ones
are booked up already.

Tell her don't worry about it.
I got a idea for the music.

Okay.

Look at you, looking good.

Healthy.

- I feel good.
- Mm.

I ain't lost my temper
in about three weeks,

- haven't had a drink
in three days.
- Okay.

I got this mean tuxedo jacket.

(laughs)

hmm.

I talked to teddy today.

He agreed to sell to us.

Think I'll take that drink.

(exhales)

okay.

You knew this was coming, baby.

Jerome:
I know.

Franklin is family.

But I like to think that what
you doing is just business

and I got your back.

But I will not go to war
against my own blood.

Mm.
It ain't gonna come to that.

It's not. It's not. It's not.

Franklin gonna be mad as hell.

Yeah.

But I'm-a make him understand.

When?

After the wedding.

Let's just have a good time
with family.

Yeah?

This is how we control
our future.

It's the only way.

Minister:
We are gathered here today

to join this man, Jerome saint,

and this woman, louanne Jones,

in holy matrimony.

Despite any differences
we might have,

we come together today
in this beautiful place

because we share
something in common.

We share the desire
to consecrate the union

of louie and Jerome.

Marriage is a sacrosanct union

between two people
who care for each other,

trust each other,
love each other.

(crackling) Marriage
requires mutual respect,

meeting each others' needs,
and taking responsibility

(clearer) For each other,
your family and your children.

Let us take a moment
to pray for the success

of this union.

Excuse me.

What are you gonna do
with all this chocolate?

I'm gonna dip
the strawberries and then

pass them out after the service.

To everybody?

Everybody who wants one.

Minister:
Amen.

What's your name?

Pastel.

Nice to meet you.

You mind grabbing me
a water, please?

Of course.

Minister:
...Vitality, and love
for one another.

Before god, your friends
and your family,

I ask you to affirm
your willingness

to enter into the covenant
of marriage.

Do you, Jerome,

take this woman to be your wife?

- Hell yeah!
- (laughter)

I do!

Minister:
All right, now.

And louanne... Oh, louie.

Do you take this man
to be your husband?

Yes!

(laughter)

Minister:
The rings?

I now pronounce you husband

- and wife.

Hey. Breathe with me. Hey.

(ghostly growl)

don't lie to yourself.

Not here.

Try and tell the truth.

The voice inside your head
you push down.

Like the one that said
I'm-a lose you and the baby?

You can't be a gangster
and a family man.

(echoes)
You can't be a killer

and in honest business, too.

No.

No, no, no, I don't accept that.
I've come this far.

In the end,
you'll have to destroy us all.

You'll have to.

Because the only way
we can survive

is to betray you.

(distorted)
And that's just what we'll do.

(regular voice)
Betray you. Betray you.

Betray you. Betray you.

Betray you. Betray you.
Betray.

(r&b music playing in distance)

you don't hate me, do you?

No, baby, I love you.

I love you. I love you
more and more every day.

Every goddamn second.

But I'm so wrong.

You took me into your family.

Even though I was
from the streets.

- From the sewer.
- Even when we fight

- I did it all.
- And we hate each other,

- I love you even more.
- And I knew that nobody

- would never want nothing
from me but some ass
- you understand what

- makes me tick. You do,
- and a fine woman on their arm.

- Even if you think you don't.
- I once thought that only women
would love me.

- You always say the thing
- that only the pussy

- that's just right.
- Made things right.

- But no matter how mad I got
or how angry...
- You know how to love a man.

You know how to put me
in my place when I'm wrong.

- No matter if I was
off with Claudia
- and I need that shit.

- Or killing Claudia...
- And that's why, baby.

- I don't want to be
with anybody else
- ...You never let nobody say

- that I was less or nothing.
- Because that feeling
that I have inside,

it's like wolves.

- It's like they can see...
- And you know...

- Everything that...
- That your mind...

- No one else knows is there.
- And my mind,

- it's the same.
- And you know.

And I know that you do.

- And because of that...
- And because of that...

- I love you.

let the worst thing dad did
come true for you.

- For us.
- That's bullshit.

He never cared about
anybody but himself.

He said he was working
for the people,

but as soon as somebody
crossed him, what'd he do?

He threw them
right under the bus.

And here you are talking
about the white man's ass

when everybody got to kiss
your ass, or else.

What the f... I help people.

(laughs)
help people?

My god, you listen to yourself?

Goddamn, nigga.

What about Mr. Wright?
What about him?

What about Kevin and even rob?
Or manboy? Your dad?

And all the niggas you and your
little motherfucking minions

them plotted on in between.

Tianna? Khadijah? Lenny? Karvel?

Him? Him? Him? Her? Him? Him?

Bodies! Bodies! Bodies! Bodies!

They're all dead.

- That's how you help, Franklin?
- No, no, no, no.

No, I made
me and my people rich.

Fuck kind of life
would they have without me?

(stifled laugh)

(cackles)

they don't see it
that way, nigga.

And they never will.
And you don't see it theirs.

And that's why this whole
thing's about to fall apart.

Nothing's gonna fall apart.

I can still save it.

You know...

...Even if you do understand...

...It doesn't make a difference.

Yeah, she's asleep

You a good man, lee.

Good man.

So there's nobody's coming up?

Do you think I would be

So if I say that we can

Yes.

Great. Let's go to dinner.

One more thing.

This is much more fun

than my usual Saturday nights.

Okay, bye.
