That Dirty Black Bag (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Chapter Eight: The Great Duel - full transcript
The things we do for money.
My little brother... I need
to be there when you find him.
You're making the biggest
Goddamn mistake of your life.
I'll take you
straight to Bronson.
I know where he lives.
Do not fuck with me.
I'll need your help.
I found it under Steve's land.
This is our land. Ours alone.
Tomorrow is the new day in
which the demons wake up,
in which darkness will
open the eyes of the blind,
because we are all sinners.
900.
Gotcha.
700. Hmm.
All right.
Next stop New Orleans.
The problem is, gotta travel
through the red zone to get there.
What's that?
That's an area rife with
every kind of bandit
and goddamn reprobate there is.
Assholes that'll shoot you
as soon as take a shit.
So from here on out,
I'm gonna need you to
keep a special watch.
You understand me?
- Sure.
- Sure, you sure?
Yep.
Okey do key, you
can start to relax.
Not that you've been
particularly vigilant anyway.
You know what potato
means in Italian?
- No.
- It means a woman's hoo-ha.
No it doesn't.
I swear to God.
- Have you tasted one before?
- No.
Well, it ain't for
everyone, I guess.
Damn.
A head weighs less than a body.
Did you ever think about that?
I'm not gonna stop, Anderson.
Ever.
Do you feel that, Pop?
You were right.
There's still gold in this land.
You can be proud of me now, Pop.
This goddamn place is about to
become what we always dreamt of.
The city that bears our name.
They called us mad men
murderers.
But time has proved us right.
Where'd you learn
to kill like that?
Like what?
With a tomahawk.
Well, I was raised
by the Natives,
but I was schooled
by a bounty hunter.
"Schooled by a bounty hunter."
Yep, raw-potato-eatin'
alcoholic who lived in a cart.
What about you?
Huh?
- How did you end up...
- We are the same, Red.
We're exactly the same.
Still don't explain this.
Oh, this?
This is all me.
It all depends on
how good you are.
You know I used to collect
these when I was a boy.
Of course they were not
as detailed as these,
with the pistons
and the couplings.
Get outta my house.
Go fetch your wife, Steve.
I said, go fetch your wife.
- How much is that bag worth?
- Huh?
How much the bag,
how much it worth?
- A lot.
- And what we talking?
Enough to get to California.
And some.
Tell me more about that girl.
- What girl?
- The smartest girl in Greenvale.
Someone who deserved better.
Best thing about that town.
You know I never
thought I'd say it,
but I think you were the thing
holding that town together.
Well that's mighty
kind of you, Red.
Why did you come back?
'Cause what happened to
you happened to my mother.
A long time ago.
- You remember his face?
- Of course I remember his face.
Look at me.
Everything is gonna be
all right, I promise.
Oh, Dorian, your daddy
really doesn't know
if everything's
gonna be all right.
See kid there are two
possible outcomes here,
one of them is... is good,
and the other is very bad.
Okay, let's just talk,
you and me all right?
No, I'm tired of talking.
Sign it.
So you're gonna
give me your land
and in an exchange
you'll get nothing.
No money, no share,
just his life.
- Stay where you are, Michelle.
- Please, Charles, let him go.
I know you don't
wanna hurt my child.
All I want is the land.
- Sign it.
- Steve please.
Surely, we can come to
some kind of agreement.
It's too late for that.
- It's not, it's not too late.
- Gently!
Hey, hey.
We already had an agreement.
Oh yeah, hmm?
Why don't you tell him?
Tell him.
- Yes.
- Yes.
See?
And you used to be so beautiful.
Did you ever really love her?
Now you tell him.
Tell him to sign.
Tell him!
We're never leaving.
Oh, Michelle.
Wait a minute,
wait! Thompson wait!
I'm signing, okay?
Thank you.
Thank you for this
wonderful gift.
You wanna see it?
What?
- Thought there were more of 'em.
- No.
They're the two you
need to worry about.
- You see the one on the right?
- Uh-huh.
He can shoot you between
the eyes from a mile off.
Trust me.
Trust you?
What about the other one?
Crazy as fuck.
Just be careful.
Yeah, don't you worry about me,
I've killed all kinds.
You be careful.
We made a deal, Sheriff,
that means you don't die.
You are perfect.
Are you hungry?
You can have anything you like.
Chocolate.
Chocolate.
Of course.
Good to see you,
Symone. How are you?
- Hungry.
- The usual?
- Sure.
- Keep your money.
It's on the house.
So why did you come back, honey?
Without Eve and McCoy,
this town is doomed.
Well, I thought I might take
things over myself, Tony.
Thank you for your attention.
We're looking for someone
to take us to Condor.
We are not bandits.
There's no need to be afraid.
And it's a matter
of great urgency.
So I'm willing to pay $100 to
whoever provides the service.
$100.
Never seen so many starving
folks spit on so much money.
You know the area?
You come.
- No, I'm sorry, sir.
- Yes.
But I cannot leave the saloon.
- These have been a real hard few days in town.
- Sir.
For a matter of such urgency,
you're offering less than
you paid for your boots.
I didn't ask for
your opinion, kid.
I'll take you there.
For $200.
The last fella you tried
to double your money on
gave you that?
The fella who gave me this
died with his throat cut.
It's 200 'cause you ain't gonna
find anyone else to take you there.
They're all too scared.
But you're not scared?
You need to go there,
and I need the money.
Tell me something,
is this the first
time you've negotiated
with someone like me?
I bet
someone else sets the
price for your little body.
All right kid, you got a deal.
Lets go.
John,
give the young lady a horse,
- and stay here in case he comes back.
- Will do.
Easy buddy.
The sheriff.
- McCoy?
- McCoy.
How well do you know him?
Pretty well.
Good.
So you can tell me all
about him on the way.
Are you planning to kill him?
To kill him?
I knew I was right.
I've always known.
This is what you wanted?
Dorian?
Dorian.
Hey!
Dorian!
You're late.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I got held up.
Blaine?
Oh, Blaine. Yeah...
Well
what with the rain,
and the floods.
As you know, Blaine
can't swim, so...
The money?
Well, that can't swim either.
You shouldn't play
it like this McCoy.
Two against one is a
hand you can't win.
It's not exactly two
against one, you see?
I brought my friend.
Nothing to worry about...
a boy with a bag.
A friend?
Yesterday, a prisoner,
today already a friend.
Gentleman.
It doesn't have to be this way.
I'm gonna ask you and
I'm gonna ask you once.
And you'd better think
real hard before answering.
Bronson's order was
to recover the money,
but nothing was said about
not killing his brother.
What exactly are you asking me?
Where is the money?
It's gone.
Ah yes.
The rain.
Tch.
Where's the money?
Well...
Ah!
Bye, sheriff.
Oh.
Oh yeah, oh shit.
You're still alive?
I think so.
Goddamn thing went
right through me.
So you're his brother?
And you said nothing.
I've spent most of my life
trying to forget that
he is my brother.
What was I supposed to say?
That I'm a thief?
I know you're a thief.
My brother's a
goddamn psychopath?
That killed my mother.
I know you might find
this hard to believe,
I hate that son of a
bitch more than you do.
Yeah?
And now you're gonna prove it.
Lemme see.
Yeah, you'll be fine.
Let's deal with these
wounds and get outta here.
I was so close to
getting on that ship.
So close to crossing that ocean,
getting out of this shit.
And yet you came after me.
We're always running, McCoy.
I'm not coming.
- We had a deal.
- Ah, the deal.
I told you where he was.
I told you how to find him.
That's the deal.
I ain't got a dollar to my name.
Now give me that bag.
Can't do that.
Things we do for money, eh Red?
The things we do for money.
What did you say?
I was there.
I saw you under that bed.
You were so scared.
Just a little boy.
I saved you then,
just like I did when you
were hanging upside down
with your ass hanging out.
So the least you could do
is give me that
goddamn black bag.
Red,
promise me one thing.
If you are the
last man standing,
make sure my brother ends
up in that dirty black bag.
Billy.
Mom.
Dorian!
Dorian!
Dorian!
Come on.
These things have
nothing to do with us.
You did the right thing.
He threatened to kill our child.
We bury him here.
And then we bury this place.
Forever.
Agreed?
What are you reading?
My little brother... I need
to be there when you find him.
You're making the biggest
Goddamn mistake of your life.
