Red Widow (2013) s01e05 Episode Script

The Recorder

1 I want to dance with my wife.
Previously, on Red Widow No one steals from Schiller.
(Gunshot) (Grunts) Schiller was ripped off two nights ago.
A couple of his guys were killed.
What did you do to us?! If you don't get out, I will take the kids and I will leave you.
(Three gunshots) Your husband made a deal the night before he was shot.
Witness Protection.
This is your debt.
Your children give you the motivation.
Your Petrov D.
N.
A.
gives you the instincts.
- I'm working for him now.
- What about me? Michael Tomlin is unreliable.
And so we begin.
(Grunts and coughing) You put me and my children at risk.
You made things worse for me, and I will never bail you out again.
How much do you have on Schiller? Enough to bury him so he can't touch me or my children? No.
Then I'll get you what you need.
Marta (Speaking Russian) (Giggling) (Speaking Russian) Wee! Ya! (Giggling) (Door closes) (Marta as adult) This is Marta Walraven entering the offices of Nicholae Schiller.
You're pulling way too many g's in this turn.
You need to get your rudder under control and keep your nose on the horizon.
I just thought I'd drop by.
Man: However, you're in the 80th percentile.
That's a 20% window of error.
(Chuckles) Any pilot would be happy with that score.
And no more two-seaters.
Your wing's next phase II exercise coincides with my visit.
Make sure I'm on it.
So long.
(Taps key) What? I just wanted to check in on my next assignment.
So you came all the way down here.
Uninvited.
Such a self-starter.
It's self-preservation.
I can't protect myself or my family if I'm walking in blind.
(Clears throat) Fine.
I'm going after a new piece of business.
But the exporter is being difficult.
You will help me improve the relationship.
How? I want to get in on the planning stage, but I need to know who I'm dealing with, what's involved, where it's happening.
You're overreaching.
(Door opens) (Speaking Romanian) Is he talking about me? (Speaks Romanian) Clearly she is important, or she would not be standing here.
I'll consider your myriad of requests.
You may leave.
Schiller: I'll consider your myriad requests.
You may leave.
I pushed too far.
He's suspicious.
You did great.
What are they talking about at the end there? I don't speak Romanian.
And we were too far away to pick it up.
Stand closer next time.
Sure.
I'll just ask him to talk directly into my hair comb.
- (Conversation continues) - And the old guy is that his grandfather? It's his father Laszlo Schiller.
Mean son of a bitch.
- Learned to survive the hard way.
- (Sighs) Yeah, I saw the tattoo.
He's Romani.
The pejorative term is "gypsy.
" Nazis rounded them up, too.
Nothing we can use.
You gotta get him to open up.
I think he might be on to me.
- Made.
- What? It's called being made.
- She's not helping.
- Look, there's nothing to suggest on this tape that you've been made.
Back out now, and our case against you goes forward.
Newton.
You want out of this, this is what you gotta do.
We'll get Schiller, you'll get a new life.
(Inhales and exhales) Come here, sweetie.
'Night, Bobo.
(Young woman laughs) (Door closes) (Moaning) Irwin.
(Young woman giggles) (Giggling continues) (Young man moaning) (Young man and woman panting and moaning) Oh! Oh! Oh, my God! - Mom, get out! - Oh, my God! What are you doing? Don't worry, Ms.
Dub.
We're using condoms.
- Can you please just leave? - What's the matter? Mom, go! It's okay! - Don't come in! - It's okay, it's under control! - G-man, nice.
- What's going on? Irwin, you're not helping! It's (Gasping) - Ohh! - Maybe I'll just go.
Oh, wait - This is my room! Leave! - Ew! - Gabe! - Do not traumatize the kid.
You're gonna give him performance issues.
- You are busted.
- Get out! Okay, everyone, just Just go to bed.
Now.
- All right.
I'm gonna go wash my eyes out.
- Go! - Next time, leave a sock on the door.
- Ew! Gabriel, this beyond unacceptable.
This is my room, my business.
Yeah? My house! I'm not a kid anymore.
Honey, having sex does not make you a man.
God, I miss dad.
Even he wouldn't have done what you just did.
(Scoffs) I had a bad dream.
Yeah? Me, too, honey.
You have to wear shoes at school, Boris.
I'm not going! Guys! Guys, come on.
Hey, guys, what's going on? He doesn't want to go to school.
(Sighs) Boris, I thought you You like school, no? Are you being bullied again? (Phone rings) Come on, kid.
(Rings and beeps) - Hello? - You didn't check in this morning.
I need to keep tabs on you while we're doing this.
What, every hour? It's supposed to be reassuring.
It is.
Look, I'm I'm sorry.
(Door closes) (Speaks Russian) Dad! (Laughs) What are you doing here? (Line clicks) Thank you.
(Sighs) You look tired.
Boris won't sleep in his own bed.
And, uh Last night I caught Gabriel with a girl in his room.
No.
(Sighs) (Both laugh) Well, he's a young man.
I mean, hormones Oh, dad! (Laughs) But but to disrespect the home I will talk to him.
Uh, it's Marta.
It's okay.
I want to talk to you about this picture Natalie drew.
You asked Luther to look into it.
The man who wore this boot He just pulled the trigger.
But it is Schiller who gave the order.
He is the man who killed Evan.
What if it wasn't Schiller? Schiller had motive.
Evan stole from him.
Even worked with a lot of dangerous people.
Even dangerous people need a reason to kill.
(Exhales) Marta, what's wrong? The Feds were pressuring Evan.
(Breath quavers) (Lowered voice) Papa, he was afraid for us.
- He was a rat?! - No.
No! He never told them anything.
But if he had lived? (Gasps) I don't know who else knew about it, papa.
It might not be the reason.
It was reason enough! He was trying to protect his family.
We are all family! He wanted to save himself by destroying others.
It is cowardly! Well, I'm well aware of how you feel about rats.
It is not feeling.
It is truth! A rat deserves whatever happens to him.
And he won't see when it's coming.
Just like Evan.
He got off (Snaps fingers) Like that easy! How dare you say that to me? Marta.
I'll find this killer For your sake, and for the sake of my grandchildren.
But I will no longer light a candle for Evan.
I am ashamed.
(Exhales sharply) (Panting) (Door slams) May I offer you a ride? I have a bike.
And I have a gun.
Which Mr.
Schiller has authorized me to use.
But seems unnecessary.
Excellent exercise, bicycle riding.
(Door closes) May I have your phone, please? (Exhales) See, when it's turned on, it can be pinged.
That's how I knew where you were.
"Ping.
" It's a funny word, eh? (Door opens and closes) Where are you taking me? Aren't you comfortable? I could turn up the air.
Tell me, or I'll jump out.
(Clicks) (Engine starts) (Birds squawking, doors closing) They're the highest quality weapons coming out of China.
This one comes gold-plated as well.
Who's she? An associate.
Marta Petrov.
Naturally, they'll all be converted to full auto.
Say Petrov? I have other customers interested if you're gonna pass.
(Clicks) (Cocks gun) (Gunshots) Lower the price.
The sights are off.
Let me try.
(Sucks tongue) (Cocks gun) (Gunshots) (Shells clatter on ground) (Gun clicks) Sights are fine.
- How many can you deliver? - 3,600, all in.
No handguns.
My clients only want the big stuff.
It's the entire shipment or nothing.
And the, uh, price is non-negotiable.
Mm.
(Chuckles) All right.
(Doors close, engine starts) (Car speeds away) Have dinner with me tonight.
What? I You know they just come out with a new version of this phone? I don't understand.
You're you're importing guns.
We are importing guns.
- And that guy was - The guy who will buy them from me.
I will be the importer if I can secure the exporter.
So you're selling guns you don't have, and these are your samples? Well, the right money in the right hands.
So you're in on the planning stage, and you've just met a key player.
Of course, he met you, too.
You wanted in, Mrs.
Walraven.
Well, you're in.
Oh, and, uh, for dinner tonight, wear something revealing.
(Engine starts, door closes) 1x05 The Recorder High-end assault rifles, handguns.
I didn't get the buyer's name.
This is good.
This is really good.
We just gotta find the mode of transport, the timing.
- He doesn't have the business yet.
- He will.
- Just get it on tape.
- Listen, I need to talk to you about that recorder, 'cause even Kat says the hair comb is garish.
You told your sister what you're doing? - I tell Kat everything.
- Marta, you - you can't - Listen, if something happens to me, I need someone to explain this to my kids.
They need to know why I did this.
Nothing's gonna happen.
And tonight we'll have agents standing nearby.
- What about the hair comb? - Use it tonight.
I'll bring you a belt or a button or something tomorrow.
And, Marta, don't tell anyone else - in your family.
- Yeah.
That I know.
Did you know I lost my virginity when I was 11? She was an older girl, too.
I-I would hope.
Sexy urges are normal.
Yeah.
But this is your mother's home.
You must respect her rules and help her all you can.
- Yeah, you're right.
- Listen.
If you need a girl, have her in your car.
Or a motel.
(Whispering) Or go to a professional.
Luther can take you.
What's that about? You know, you don't have to keep loitering here.
I'm back now.
Marta and the kids are safe.
- Well, your father wants me here.
- Right.
When dad says "jump," huh? (Bag rustling) (Door closes, bag thuds on counter) Admit it, Luther.
You love being here.
You've been hot for my sister since you were 16.
Of course, if dad knew, he'd cut your grapes off with a dull knife.
(Chuckles) There you were, the son he never had, thinking dirty thoughts about his little girl.
- Okay - Oops.
(Laughs) Are you gonna grow up? Ever? He deserves it.
He's been a jerk to me since dad took him in.
(Exhales) Schiller has a new consignment.
How can I help? (Exhales) You've done enough already.
Ah, come on.
How long are you gonna bust my balls over this Orson thing? I feel bad enough already.
Good.
I need you to take care of the kids tonight.
Do I look like I have breasts? I'm not a Manny.
(Utensil clatters) (Laughs) All right, fine.
Where you gonna be? (Exhales) I have a dinner with Schiller.
(Mouth full) A date? No, of course not.
Oh, God.
I don't think so.
(Pop music playing) (Coughing) (Continues coughing) (Coughs) Ow! (Gasps) Hey! (Sighs) Sorry.
Uh is someone else here? Um, no.
No.
Not not yet.
- Uh, what's wrong? Is Marta okay? - Oh, she's fine.
I just came to talk to you about what she's doing.
Being a rat.
Well, I supported her decision to do it.
And I appreciate that.
I just wanted to make sure that you understood the importance of secrecy.
I understand.
Or have you forgotten who my father is? Okay.
(Exhales and clears throat) Hey, um Is your wife all right? I'm sorry.
I know that it's private.
It's just, uh Well, I saw you with her that day at your office, and it's like I could feel how painful it was for you.
Hey.
(Knocks on door) Mr.
Castillo.
FBI Agent Ramos.
I'm just following up on some questions I had for your wife.
About what? Her brother-in-law's murder.
But I'll leave you to your evening.
Mrs.
Castillo, thanks for your help.
Yeah, thanks.
Hi.
Babe.
Mm.
(Kisses) Why are you dressed like that? Oh for you.
(Laughs) I mean, you've been complaining about how, uh, we haven't had time for a real marriage, so So he, uh, came all the way here to ask you about a murder you didn't witness six weeks after it happened? I don't know.
He's thorough.
(Chuckles) So (Glasses clink) I made you paella.
Well, actually, it's more like I burned you paella.
(Chuckles) Come on, Kat, between all the weirdness with Marta, - what are you involved in? - God, Jay, please.
Baby, I'm worried about you.
Talk to me.
There's nothing to tell.
If you can't tell me the truth, why did you even marry me? Why? I bec (Stammers) Wow.
(Scoffs) There was a real simple answer to that.
(Sighs) (Knock on door) (Knocking) (Sighs) Hey.
Uh, I need to talk to you.
What, I'm not welcome in your home anymore? You're on drugs.
I don't want this around my kids.
I'll be fine once we have some work.
When is the next job with Schiller? Uh do you think we can get a cut of it? There's not gonna be a next job.
Schiller doesn't trust you.
He knows about your debts.
Bull.
This is you.
Yes, Mike, this is me trying to survive.
Marta, I need the money.
I need the pot business.
I need that missing coke.
Mike, there's no coke, okay? Evan probably dumped it in the bay.
You are lying! I can tell.
I'm sorry, Mike.
You're fired.
Hey, Marta, wait.
Marta! Marta! (Exhales) This is Marta Walraven entering Pantini's Restaurant for a meeting with Nicholae Schiller at 8:00 P.
M.
[ Cosmic Radiation by Clinic playing .]
Cosmic radiation radiation, radiation comic radiation radiation, radiation Do not drink.
Do not speak unless I address you.
Hmm? (Speaks foreign language) It's holding my hair in place.
Let's go in.
(Clatters) (Electronic music playing) (Indistinct conversations) (Woman, Russian accent) It was an emergency.
And his Ferrari is in mediterranean when I find out it belongs to his wife! (Laughter) Oh This man comes uninvited.
And you brought a date? Hmm.
How rude.
You look as beautiful as ever, Alexandra.
This is Marta Petrov.
Petrova.
(Speaking Russian) (Speaking Russian) You ladies have me at a disadvantage.
Oh, which only makes you more attractive, Nicholae.
I understand you have an impending shipment.
If I wanted to work with you again, I would have called.
Sergei is my importer now.
I'm afraid not.
Sergei lost interest.
You interfered with my business? To benefit us both.
(Sighs) (Chuckles) Bliss: Your mom will get over it.
Gabriel: She just has a lot going on right now.
I made it worse.
It's cute how you take care of her.
My dad, before he died, we weren't really getting along, either.
It just sucks, you know? (Crickets chirping) I have something to help you feel better.
It'll make you feel really happy.
I don't know.
It's not really my thing.
And it makes sex really intense.
(Electronic music playing) After your last debacle, I don't work outside Bratva.
Which is why Miss Petrov will be involved in this.
A pretty face contributes nothing to my business.
She is quite capable.
Oh, is she? Tell me what she does for you, Nicholae.
(Exhales) Does she keep your bed warm? And touches you the way you like? Does she spread her legs every time you tell her? (Without Russian accent) I have a marina.
Do you? The ports are risky and crawling with Feds.
My marina is private off the radar and already outfitted for imports.
Enough business.
This is a celebration.
What's the occasion? It's Tuesday.
Unfortunately, for some of us it's school night.
Go home.
Tuck in the little ones.
You, on the other hand, have no excuse.
Stay with me.
(Beep) Marta, pick up the phone.
It's Irwin.
(Beep) God, where are you, Marta? (Beep) There's been an accident.
(Panting) (Gasps) (Lights clicking) (Panting) (Gasps) Ms.
Dub.
(Exhales) Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Mom, I swear she was fine - Are you all right? And then she just started freaking out, - so I called 9-1-1.
- She'll be okay.
It's just a bad reaction to a hit of "X.
" G-man's fine.
He didn't take anything.
You're supposed to be taking care of him, - and this is what happens? - Well, they're teenagers, Marta.
They are.
You're not.
Where's Boris and Natalie? Upstairs.
I'll go check on them.
(Sighs) Are you all right? Sit down.
Look, I'm not high, okay? I swear, mom.
I'm sorry.
(Sighs) Well, at least you didn't take drugs.
Actually, I-I did take drugs.
I'm just bad at it.
Um We both put a pill on our tongues, and (Sighs) She ended up with both.
(Cell phone rings) (Chuckles) (Sighs) Gabe.
(Ringing continues) I want you to call Bliss' parents and tell them we'll meet them at the hospital.
Me? If you are man enough to have sex and take drugs, you're man enough to talk to her parents.
(Exhales) What? Why haven't you called? (Lowered voice) They took the hair comb.
What happened? He met with some Russian woman.
Bratva? I think so.
Look, I gotta go.
I gotta go to the hospital.
Are you okay? I just need to take care of my family.
You need to tell me what's going on! You do not own my whole life.
Until we nail Schiller, you don't have a life.
(Presses button and sighs) Boris: I'm not going.
You try.
(Sighs) Okay, Bobo.
Spill.
Why don't you want to go to school this time? (Sighs) Mrs.
Benz will make me do show-and-tell.
So we'll find something cool for you to bring.
I don't want them to know about me.
You don't want them to know what? That my dad was shot.
They'll think I'm weird.
(Sighs) Hey.
Bobo Everyone's had stuff happen to them.
Not this, but something.
It's just part of who you are now.
And who you are is an awesome boy.
I know what would be fun.
A day on the "Corina" with your classmates.
We could take them fishing.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
But I still don't have anything for show-and-tell.
Well, if you go to school with Natalie, I will bring you something super cool, okay? Go.
Go on.
When did you get here? You were at the hospital.
Slept on the couch.
(Bottle clatters) It's a little early for that.
Marriage sucks.
Sometimes.
No, I don't mean a marriage like yours.
(Sighs) Kitty Kat, you met Jay at a concert, you had an 8-month sex-a-thon, and then you got married.
It's gonna take time.
Yeah, it won't matter.
With With Jay, I can't tell him (Sighs) I can't tell him anything.
(Sighs) Well, you'll tell me.
Like I tell you.
As long as you have someone you can bare it all to.
Mm, it's he's gonna push, and I'm gonna hurt him.
'Cause he's not from our world.
He doesn't get it.
I thought you loved that about him.
I thought I did.
Dina I will do anything you want.
Can you get back every penny you snorted and gambled away? Yes.
I swear to God.
God ain't buying it anymore.
Neither am I.
Deens (Sobs) You're the only thing that matters to me.
You're my whole world.
I defended you, Mike.
I almost lost my best friend over you, because I didn't want to see who you really are.
Now I know.
(Door closes) (Suitcase rattles) (Ship horn blows in distance) (Speaking Russian) I wanted to see your marina for myself, and now I do.
(Chuckles) I can't believe Nicholae would even consider it.
Just as well.
Nicholae is not to be trusted.
He's a gypsy.
Not Russian.
I have three charter boats.
They won't be enough.
They will if you make multiple runs.
You can anchor your shipment 25 miles off the coast.
In international waters? My boats will go back and forth.
It'll take longer but draw less attention.
I have mouths to feed.
Nicholae likes you.
It's because I'm useful to him.
You were married too long to see how another man looks at you.
But be very, very careful.
If he has feelings for you, he will hate you for it.
I will give Nicholae my shipment, but I will hold you responsible.
If something goes wrong, he cannot protect you.
No one can.
We are done here.
Ramos: How you holding up? I'm alive for the moment.
I'm sorry about going off on you last night.
It was inappropriate.
Well, I'm still not gonna wear that hair comb again.
I'll bring you something new today.
You get a name on that Russian woman last night? Just Alexandra.
- Long brown hair, 40 maybe? - Yeah.
Who is she? Alexandra Duchenko.
Duchenko? I've heard that name.
Major Russian gangster centered in Moscow.
The Duchenko family is bigger and more dangerous than Schiller.
(Sighs) Great.
Well, that's great.
You really think you can protect me from two crime lords? Yeah.
'Cause we'll take 'em down.
(Scoffs) I gotta go.
Schiller? To show-and-tell.
(Beeps) (Sighs) This is how you tie a bowline.
And this is how you tie a half hitch.
The kids are excited to go out on Boris' boat.
Mm-hmm.
They don't look very excited.
I learned to tie these knots on my dad's boat.
We went on it every Saturday.
- But not anymore, 'cause he died.
- Really? - Why? - Did he have a heart attack? My dad had a heart attack.
No.
A man on a motorcycle shot him, and there was a bunch of blood.
(Murmuring) - With a real gun? - How much blood? Girl: Then what happened? Okay.
Great job, Boris.
Thanks for sharing.
It's reading time.
Everyone find a book buddy.
Come on, Boris, read with me! Come on! Be my book buddy.
Stalking my sister again? I just came to drop something off.
(Rustling) She's supposed to wear that? It's the best we could do.
Oh.
You look like hell.
(Sighs) How you long you been sitting here? A while.
Mm.
This is where I should have been when Evan was shot.
I got the phone call from the hospital.
Evie O.
D.
'd again.
I She's my wife.
Yeah yeah And another agent was on their way here, and I (Clears throat) You had to go.
It didn't change anything for her.
But it changed everything for your family.
You've been carrying that around? And around and around.
I don't want to be married to my husband.
(Breath quavers) I mean, I love him, but I can't rely on him.
You been carrying that around? (Moans softly) (Breathes deeply) Oh, crap.
Oh, my God! Natalie! Ohh! (Door opens) (Door closes) Natalie! (Breathes deeply) This is Marta Walraven entering the offices of Nicholae Schiller at 7:30 P.
M.
You wanted to see me? Alexandra agreed to do business.
It seems I have you to thank.
Well, I'll have to get the marina ready.
(Exhales sharply) Do you have shipment dates yet? Who's gonna handle the sea exchange? Why are you being so helpful? (Laughs) You think I'm doing you a favor or something? You've been unusually enthusiastic.
You made me work for you.
Now you're complaining that I'm enthusiastic? One can never trust slave labor.
I asked for a salary.
I'm still waiting to see it.
Oh, so you're doing all this for money? I'm doing all of this for survival.
I don't think you are being honest with me, Marta Petrov.
Dadya Pasha? (Shouting in Russian) (Door closes) Dadya Pasha? (Gunshot) What are you implying? That you're keeping a secret.
What secret? You tell me.
You think I'm a rat.
I think you're a mother who would do anything to protect her children, even something very misguided.
You think I'm wearing a wire? You want me to prove it? (Removes shoe) Okay.
(Shoe clatters, removes second shoe) I'll prove it.
(Shoe clatters, unzips zipper) I am a Petrov.
And my father does not raise rats.
He kills them.
(Sniffles) (Exhales) (Crying) (Sniffles) Get dressed and get out.
(Exhales) (Kisses) You did great today.
Everybody wanted to talk to me.
Yeah? That's wonderful, Bobo.
And they're all excited to go on the boat.
Are you ready for bed? Did you brush your teeth? You can't sleep in my bed if you don't brush your teeth.
I'm gonna sleep in my own bed tonight.
You still have to brush your teeth.
(Sighing) Oh, my God.
I am I am so sorry.
What is it, Kat? Oh, my God, I'm such an idiot.
Is it is it Jay? I can't even tell you, I'm so mortified.
And now now Natalie won't even let me in her room.
Kat, tell me.
(Exhales) These recorders are expensive.
You promised me that I would be safe, and I was one bra strap away from a bullet in the head, so I'm done with you.
Marta, we'll We'll figure something out.
You want to charge me with something, go ahead.
My lawyer will come after you for harassing my family.
You're referring to what exactly? To you sticking your tongue down my sister's throat in front of my daughter.
Now I believe your objectivity is somewhat compromised.
We're done.
Unless you want to discuss this with your supervisor.
I'm still your best shot to get away from Schiller.
Wrong.
I'm my best shot.
So you're gonna let those guns come into the country? There is no gun shipment.
The deal fell through.
(Door opens and closes) (Speaking Romanian) (Sips) (Sighs) All right, welcome aboard the "Corina.
" Watch your step.
And grab a life vest, everyone.
Who's ready to see some dolphins? Children: Whoo! (Laughs) Everyone follow Boris here.
He's a pro at this.
(Clattering) If you have to barf, do it in the bucket or over the side.
(Ignition grinds and sputters) Uh, I think we might have a problem.
Maybe something's stuck in the prop.
What's wrong with the boat, mom? I'll suit up and check it out.
Uh Nothing, hon.
We'll get her going in a minute.
(Children murmuring) Child: What's going on? Child: What's going on? It's probably nothing.
Worst-case scenario, we can just take another boat.
Girl: Do you have another boat? Yeah, we've got three.
(Spits and exhales) Yeah, there was a line stuck in the prop.
(Grunting) What is it? Something has been taken from Mr.
Schiller.
Mike: Evan moved the load.
All 75 keys.
There's two more just like it.
You will return what has been taken, or its cash equivalent.
(Lowered voice) Sink it.
What? Now.
(Water splashes)
